How often do you have to use this? Does it last longer than shaving? Thanks!

It probably depends on the person . . . for me, it not only didn't last any longer than shaving does, it also didn't remove all the hair in the first place.

No it is just temporary. But it lasts much longer between uses over shaving. The only permanent hair removal system is electrolysis.

Can you tell me how this shaver performs? It is a bit pricey, and there are only two reviews on Amazon's product page, one not even by the user, but by his wife. How does it do getting the hairs on the neck? I often suffer from razor burn on my neck, and also am getting tired of having to rotate my 6 yold Norelco (battery is also dying) in circular patterns several times over the same spots to get a close shave..

My suspicion is no. It's not a really good shaver. I regret buying it. It gets the job done...eventually. I need to use the trimmer function constantly to get the long ones. Short stubble is easy with this thing, but if you miss a couple of days expect ten to 13 minutes shaving. You might be better off paying more for a shaver with a bigger blade IMHO.

Depends on how often you use it.I haven't had to replace it myself just yet. I actually only use it when I'm traveling.I've used it over many times (around 2dozen) and the blades still seem just fine to me.It's depends on the person. How fast does their hair grow? How often do they plan on using it in a week? Is this simply for the face or are you using it on the body as well? These factors are going to have a big difference on how often you need to change the blades. I'd imagine anywhere from 8-15 months from constant use on the entire body.

It depends on how often you use it and how much you use each time. I haven't used it that much as I'm into double edge shaving and I use an Arko after shave lotion, but when I do use it, I only spray out a small amount which cover my face and neck. I usually use it at bedtime when I remember..I would think a once a day user would probably have it last 2-3 months..but that's an educated guess.

Works very well, I prefer it to shaving. I use it about every 2 weeks on the entire region. I'll keep it PG... I use a generous amount (like icing on a cake) and I do 9-10 minutes for "the waist to the groin" and 8-9 minutes on "the boys," "the undercarriage," and "the rear." Armpits for about 9-10 minutes. Wash all areas well immediately after you remove hair and cream with the squeegee tool. Applied areas might be a little sensitive for a few hours after use but will recover in less than a day. Some baby powder helps to keep sensitive areas from rubbing one another. Works very well, I prefer it to shaving. I use it about every 2 weeks on the entire region. I'll keep it PG...

I like it better than the shave oil and it's not as messy. They are both prepping the whiskers for the shave. I feel that this did a better job for me, also this will last longer than the oil. Remember a little goes a long way with this. Wet the face with warm water and rub the pre shave in. This is also a great post shave if you get razor burn. I also use a Merkur, I use the Merkur Futur. Hope this helps.

there have been times when I have used it after shaving but it will sometimes sting a little bit. even waiting till Opposite end of the day that you shaved is helpful.

wish I could help directly...I only use it for my every other day save and to trim side burns and soul patch. In general I get a close facial shave without any razor burn or irritation. Compared to my previous iterations of Norelco shavers (think this is my 4th), it is much much lighter and quieter.

I shave everyday and usually flip the blade halfway through the week. Most of them will last a week or a little more. Every blade is different as is everyone's shaving demands. However the blades are far cheaper so theres the pay off.

I shave my neck cheek and abs with the soap, as I keep quite a bushy honest Abe. The soap is about halfway gone since I bought it in december . My routine is to shave about twice a week. The soap will last you quite a while. I'd say it'll last me about a year. Also the scent is magnificent. Not trying to endorse the product or anything but, since I like it, why not.

You don't HAVE to use shaving cream, it just CAN be used with it. I have this (got it from the same Gold Box deal - spontaneous buy) and LOVE it. Best shave I've ever gotten, electric or blade. I use it in the shower, but have used it dry. I happen to think it gives a better shave when wet, but that's been my experience in general - I always shave wet. I'm going to give it a try with shaving cream now that I've had a few months without, curious to see if it actually makes a difference or not.

Depends on how often you use it and what you use it for. If you do your legs and bikini every month it won't last as long as if you only use it for your bikini every few months, as I do. It usually lasts me about 6 months but I must admit that I don't wax as often as I probably should :p When you wax yourself the hairlessness usually lasts about 2 weeks to a month depending on your hair's growth cycle. Hope that helps!

I only use the cleaning system when the razor is completely out of charge. Prior to that I either brush out the razor after each shave or I rinse it under water after i shave. I think I change the cartridge after about 12 cleanings (3 months).

No electric shaver is as close as a razor. However, the stubble isn't as course or noticeable. My hair groes so fast I have to shave every other day with razor as stubble is course. With this shaver it's every 3 days in summer, 4 in winter. Particularly effective after about 2 weeks when used wet.

I only clean the shaver every 10 to 15 shaves. I just take off the foil after each use and tap it in the sink and run the shaver without the foil for a couple seconds, sometimes I brush off the blades, and it's plenty clean. I also take out the cartridge and recap it so the fluid doesn't evaporate, and re-install it when I want to clean. This way it lasts many months or longer.
