Thread: how often do you replace your blade?

this is out of curiosity, but how often do you change the blade? when do you know the blade should meet its end ?

any thoughts....?

When the blade starts to tug in the least, or doesn't deliver a satisfying shave it's done. This varies a bit between manufacturers, but 4-6 shaves is about average. I've had some that were kicked out after the first pass because of bad machining.

Because my hair is fairly fine I can get 10 to 12 shaves out of a blade so it can last me almost a month since I shave every other day.

thanks for the info guys.

:-)

I find 4 shaves is the max depending on the blade. Yea they will still shave after that but the result ain't so hot.

+1, although sometimes that 4th shave can be a little rough, depending on the blade of course.
