Does this razor come with blades? How often do I need to replace the blades?

I shave five times a week... I skip Saturday & Sunday. That being said I like to replace every month, but it depends on what blades you get. I get mine from Walmart and they are cheap and work great!

Like the others said. And I even spoil myself a bit: I replace them every 2-3 shaves. I buy the persona blades (made in the US). 100 blades for $12. This style of shaving is sooo cheap you don't need to worry about "making the most of your blades."

I use the Merkur blades. I have been shaving with this razor for over a year. I shave every day, and replace the blade once a month. I don't replace the blade because it has stopped shaving well, just that it seems I should replace it periodically, and once a month seems like a good interval.

It comes with one blade. I'm not sure how often you're "supposed" to change the blade, but I've been using mine for many months.

Buy a box of 50. It'll last along time. Change blades every week. 50 blades at 10-15 dollars will last you a year or longer.

It appears that it no longer comes with a blade. I just received mine and there is nothing included except the razor body/handle. Have to buy all blades separately.

It comes with one blade. It's recommended to replace about every third or forth shave but I can usually get a week+ out of one blade with irritation.

It comes with one blade and it can last several shaves depending on your skin, your hairs, etc. Some men get 4-5 shaves out of a single blade, I use mine 1-2 times because I have very sensitive skin and thick facial hairs. But at a few cents per blade, using them even just once is a steal compared to cartridge razors.

It comes with only one blade. But it lasts 4-5 shaves at least. Works really good.

Just back from a 10 vacation and took just the razor. Never needed a charge at all. As for the blades discussion - the razor will tell you when you need to change them. They should last about 18 months. When I returned home I put the razor in the cleaning station and it asked for an intense (long) cleaning process.

Hello Ajax,My husband just received the razor in the mail and is wondering, too, about how often one needs to replace the blade. One per week would be a minimum of $520/yr, that is if he bought two blades at a time and didn't have to pay shipping.

The new razor I purchased for my husband came with 5 blades so he hasn't used the Astra blades yet. He got about 8 shaves out of the blades he has used. He is pretty confident he will get the same from the ASTRA BLADES. Each manufacturers blades are different so there is no telling how long they will last.

My wife can use hers about 5 times before it starts to lose it's edge. I would assume it depends on what blades you use and how thick the hair is that is being shaved. I like to use a razor that is a bit more aggressive when I shave my face but mine only last about three or four shaves. it doesn't really matter to me though since you can buy a couple months worth of blades for as much as a cup of coffee at starbucks.

The razor comes with a two-year warranty as per the manual (page 25). I found a customer service telephone number on the internet if you have any questions. The number is 800-680-3082.

I have changed them once a month. I never change my blades frequently though. I find that they work a long time for me, and I shave every day often twice a day. Now I know that some people change them about every two weeks but I personally have never had to do so with any system that has replaceable blades. With disposables I get at least 2 or 3 weeks. I guess it depends on you personally how often you feel you need to change the blades. Unless I find that the blades are not doing the job I do not change them. Hope this helps.

My husband has had his razor of over a year and I am thinking about replacing them for him. I have just read someone saying that they took their shaver somewhere and had it cleaned and that this person told him that they only needed replacing every three years.

Anthony, I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question. I looked at the insert/directions that came with the razor and there's no mention of where to get a replacement blade. It only provides a web site: www.bestbodyshaver.com and an email address of the manufacturer for questions: info@bestbodyshaver.com Hope this helps.

Great affordable razor, but sorry to say comes with NO blades. However the good news is. You can buy these blades at any drug store.

To answer you questions we have never had to replaces the blades and we have used it many times and we have had it for a year and it still works great. I highly recommend this item. I hope I did answer your question and it helped you.

I do not remember. I so disliked this razor that I sent it back after three weeks. After shopping around I wound up buying a Whal instead that offered free blades every 18 months for life.

I have replaced the foil and cutter at the recommended intervals using products from Amazon. They are much cheaper than what is locally available, and the razor shaves like new again with them.

to be honest with you Michael i dont bother changing the blades.they Probally would be just as expensive as the razor ,However i did find one solution that helped to a Degree.the razor comes with an extra screen so once the Razor starts to show signs of not working like it did 6 months ago, just replace the screen that comes with it Carefully and you will see a Difference in Sharpness.i buy a razor liek this every 6 months or so and im happy.

Well J. I beiieve it comes with two or three blades but believe me if yer gone do any serious skivin ya need ta order ya some more. The sharpness on em don't last long. ya can always take a strop and hone em some and that'll give ya some more blade life but ya still can't go wrong with orderin some more.
