Using a DE Safety Razor

I noticed that a lot of people here shave with safety razors, and I have a quick (and possibly dumb) question.
I just picked up a Merkur Heavy Duty, and I'm already pretty familiar with wet shaving, using a shaving brush, etc. My question is how do you go about using both edges evenly, or do you just not worry about it? Is there a practical reason for having two edges, besides it just being a more efficient use of the blade?

I imagine its just a benefit of design having another edge to use before you have to rinse a blade.
