How often are you suposed to replace a shaving razor?

Answer 1

when it gets dull. if made in china, that's a few days, maybe.

Answer 2

Replace the razor blade once every month. I usually replace a razor blade once every two months, but I think a razor blade becomes dull faster when it's used to shave legs instead of the face. I'm not positive about that, but it does seem like there is more hair to shave on the legs.

Answer 3

I use cheap (Bic) double edge razors (two blades cutting at same time, not old style with blades on two sides) and shave with Dial soap (wash twice, lather up) and my razors last several weeks doing my face. I quit when the white slide strip rubs off or when I seem to be pressing more firmly on my skin and still leaving a faint stubble or slightly raw skin.

Answer 4

I think that its best to change it maybe once every two-shaves.. or until the razor seems completely un-usable. At least thats what i've been told by my mother! haha hope that helps.

Answer 5

I grow a heavy beard and I can use a disposable ten times, my wife then steals it from me and uses it on her legs another couple of times.

Really it depends what you are shaving and how thick the hair.

You can extend the use of a disposable by running it under cold water btw.

Answer 6

depends on how often you shave if u shave daily it would be when the razor wears out

Answer 7

When the razor no longer removes hair

Answer 8

I use a shaver that's a bar of soap with a razor embedded into it, so I change it whenever the soap runs out.

Answer 9

It depends on how much you use your razor. If it is often, once every month. If not as often, every other month.

Answer 10

You only need to use it 3 times then get rid of it. To much bacteria can breed on it.

Answer 11

when the old blade gets all grody and starts to irritate your skin. your face turns all red and itches usually, when your blade is bad
