How often should you change the blade on your razor?

Question

I have a venus breeze and shave my legs and underarms.

Answer 1

I probably shouldn't tell people this, but, I got one of those five blade razors as a free sample over a year ago and I haven't changed it out yet.

(Just shaving my face.)

Answer 2

Depending on how long it takes you to shave, I'd say you should change it once every 2-5 shaves. 4-5 at the most. Good luck. I change it way less often because I tend to forget, and I don't get as close of a shave. Pay attention to how often you change your blade and figure out when it starts to wear out. Besides blade dullness, you also have to worry about bacteria in razors. If you haven't changed your blade in a while its a good idea to rinse it in an antibacterial liquid, I find mouth wash, (strange, I know) works well. Don't share your blade with anyone either, it will wear out quickly and you'll be spreading germs.

Answer 3

Try every 4 uses, if that's not good 3 should work.
A dull blade makes more frequent nicks, and a rougher shave, especially underarms.

Answer 4

i usually change my razor after 4 or 5 shaves. if u notice ur nicking more than usual u should change ur blade because that means its dull.

Answer 5

when the blade gets dull I usually wait about every 2 weeks or so before I change my blade

Answer 6

hey me too! great razor!

For any razor change it when the moisture strip gets thin or it starts to cut you.

most people think a razor cuts when it's sharp but that is wrong it's when it's dull because it's uneven and pulls at the skin.

Answer 7

haha when it starts to hurt when you shave, then it's time to replace the cartridge. Usually you can use it a good 5-7 times..depending how hairy you are. :P

Answer 8

If used daily, every 3 days to 7 days. Depending on how coarse your hair grows. If not done daily, every 10th time.

Answer 9

when it gets dull ??
