Whats the life of a shaving brush ??

I have had my brush for over two years now and have only lost 3 hairs. As others have said, your brush should last for years...unless you mistreat the brush, then it will have a short live.

With proper care, it will last 10+ years and most likely a lifetime. Remember that this is a natural hair shaving brush. Just like your own hair, you need to rinse it clean and don't use harsh chemicals. Don't bend the bristles excessively as it will eventually damage the hair fibers. Shake it dry after every use and let it air dry. I use baby shampoo to clean it once per month. If there is a lot of soap scum buildup (worse if you have hard water), soak it in warm water with a tablespoon of dissolved Borax, then clean with baby shampoo.

So far, it is not permanent. It really requires as much attention as regular shaving. Maybe after a year of consistant use, it will payoff. I bought it for my wife, but she doesn't use it. If you haven't bought it yet, save your money.

Hello Natasha,I have only owned this brush for about six months. I do use it everyday and have found no degradation in the bristles. It works great and I have seen a distinct improvement in the overall condition of my skin. I would imagine that this brush should last at least a couple more years. In either event it is worth the cost.

Depends on the use. I shave 3 times a week and 3 passes each shave. It's been more than a year and I can see the bottom. :)

My wife uses it. The razor will last a lifetime. The blades last about a month for her.

I've never had any problem with mine. Keep the shave head clean and good batteries in it. It's fine. IF it actually broke - I'd just replace it.

Use mine for 2 weeks (10 shaves) and rinse from both sides after every use. I use the cleaner while charging every other weekend and then pour the solution back in the bottle. That crap's expensive.

I agree with the previous comment. I clean my Braun about twice a week, and re-cap the liquid cartridge between cleanings to prevent evaporation. A cartridge will last well over two months this way. It could last even longer, but it changes from bright blue to a dirty gray over time as the shaver debris and hair cuttings build up in the cartridge. It will get to a point where you'll WANT to change to a fresh one.

Don't know exactly how it works, used it on a used razor blade which extended it life for about 6 weeks of daily use

I don't know. I just know that the brush lasts a long time. I have cleaned it with mild soap & warm water & then let it dry. This is the only brush my family uses.

I don't know, but the brush is a real bargain. It is better that one I had for years and bristles fell out regularly. This brush, the Classic Men's Club, is an excellent brush.

I replace my brush about every 6 months. According to anything you read, your supposed to replace the brush, probably every 30-60 days, however, I use the brush as directed, w/o much pressure (but some, of course), and my bristles are straight and in great shape for an extended amount of time. I feel that I get a significant amount of life out of every brush -better than I initially expected. Additionally, I have tried off-brand brushes, and I have not had a good experience. The off-brand brushes had considerably less power than the Philips brand brushes.

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.

It's been two or three years since I tried it. I think I remember that it came with one replacement set, but you would need to buy additional replacement sets as they would need to be replaced. But cleaning the device out after each use was key to have it work most effectively. I did not find that it gave me a close enough shave, so I returned it - which is where Norelco game me problems about refunding me all of the money that I spent. Their promise turned out to be a lie. Bad job on their part. Good Luck!

It has a little brush in it to clean it with and then I tip in hot water so it won't run back into the tip part as the tip part comes off and also put alcohol and or peroxide on the tip with a rag or just pour down wards on it. No problems what so ever but things do ware out so he, my husband, is on his second one now. Yes I would order this again but I did notice this time when I order a separate one for him it was not the same as the one that came in the case and he doesn't like it so I don't know what is with that deal?? as 2 times before when I order just the shaver thingy it was the same one as in the case. hummm Yes I have gave them as gifts and the guys love them.

I'm on my third one and have plenty of brushes, one lasted one month and another lasted one year, anyway, water is the issue so if you can avoid rinsing it will probably last longer.

I've only had mine a short time, but I don't think so, not the way Braun makes shavers. They have always lasted a long time.
