I do wonder, however, if you are using oblique strokes when you shave; they can provide not only longer blade life, but also a more comfortable shave.

There are other places to be frugal so extending my blades beyond 4-5 uses just isn't worth it for a $0.15 item.

If it _misses_ hair, it's done for sure. Honestly, though, I don't know how to justify that distinction, since the result is, still, a not very close shave.
