How many times can you use a gillette fusion razor before having to change the v. expensive blade?

Question

for shaving my face- nowhere else!!

Answer 1

I use a Mach 3 for my bikini area so I guess that is about the same? Anyways, I never know when to change my blade either but it seems to last a really long time. I guess I just figure its about time to change it and thats when I do it. I tried some disposable ones thinking it would be easier to just throw it out but they shave like crap so I went back to old faithful, lol.

Answer 2

Yes these are a rip-off, they are designed to be used only once as ALL disposable razors are, for this reason I use Gillette Blue II Plus Razors, which are about £2 for 5 sometimes for 10, nice shave, DONT BE A CONSUMER in the sense that just because it is bog and shiny and calls your name over and over you still have a choice to say NO

Answer 3

It's false economy. The blades cost loads and you can probably only use them a few times before they become blunt (less if your girlfriend nicks them for her legs). You're better off getting Gillette disposable razors or investing in an expensive electric razor, which will pay for itself after about 20 uses.

Answer 4

generally about a week or so. if you wanna stretch it, then every 2 weeks. I had that and said screw paying X amount of dollars for new blades and all. I'd HIGHLY suggest you get an eletric razor. You can get really cheap ones that work well and wil last you quite awhile. go to a marshalls or tj maxx if you have one in your area and they often sell them. they usually go for about 10-50 bucks for the really nice ones. I got mine for 5 bucks. this was 2 years ago and it still works. you figure in your razor and however many blades you have to buy over the course of the same period of years and you're getting HOSED my friend. save some greenbacks and get a cheapy electric razor. even if it does break down on you, you didn't pay that much for it, so you won't feel so bad going out and buying another cheap one.

Answer 5

I use mine until they get rusty and start pulling off skin. I buy razors maybe 2 or 3 times a year. If you want to save some money without the razor burn then you might try using a straight razor. Those things last forever and all you have to do is sharpen them when they get dull. Check out ebay they sell them cheap.

Answer 6

to be honest it was designed to be changed after you have used once. But you can use up to a week, I normally change after feeling the blade won't do any job. Just keep on cleaning

Answer 7

My boyfriend has got one of these, he changes his blades after two shaves.
Your right, they are expensive but they do the job well.

Answer 8

Be a real man and grow a beard, shavings for wimps!!

Answer 9

Till your jaw turns rusty

Answer 10

probably until the rash on your face is so bad it bleeds and you have big chunks of skin missing .
