Hello, About every 4 to 6 months. It all depends how often you use it and the breed of dog. I have a lab and his nails are thick and long. I cut his nails every 3 weeks. Hope this helps.

I am not a 100% sure about the numbers being there for QC but the general consensus seems to be so. About changing the blade sides; That is a beginner OCD myth that I fell to myself when I began DE shaving. See, you really do use all the blade sides anyway and with continued practice, you will know when it's time for a new blade and blade usage varies from person to person and technique to technique. In my blade rotation, the last Astra I used lasted me about 10 days, good to the last drag... whereas, for me, a Voskhod is only good for 3 shaves.

it works fine for me, but i guess after some uses, you need to change the blade( change to the other side or change the blade).

It depends on how dull the blade is. A sharp knife that has been used a bit just needs a steele. If you taking care of the blade you probably only need the final stage every few months (maybe more often with heavy use). A really bad edge can be conpletely reconditioned by runnung it through the first stage until a burr can be felt all the way down the opposite side, then repeating with the opposite side. You then use the remaining stages to put the second bevel on the blade and polish it by stropping.

Replacement blades are inexpensive for a mach 3? I had one, and I'd probably go through a blade every 10-14 days... at that rate, you're better off buying a new blade/foil kit for this razor 9-12 months or so.

The blade can be replaced by removing the outer protective housing. It is recommended that you replace the blade every 3 years. The part number for the WERGN30K1058.

5 Derby Extra blades came with my new butterfly razor from Ambroleyonline.com and I'm still using the first blade. I shave my head with it and my face, I've got 6+ shaves on it so far both with 2 passes. So if you guys are changing blades after 4 shaves you must not be cleaning and drying your equipment because you should be able to use one blade for at least 1-2 weeks of shaving.

I have a fairly thick and fast growing beard, and I use this often enough, the Trim parts so far are very sharp, the actual electric razor part though, is slowly dulling. So, if you have a thick beard that grows fast, yes, you may have to replace the once or twice a year.

I personally shave about every other day or every 3rd day depending on if I'm going out with family or what but my blades last 6 shaves. But the blade also has a lot to do with its Longevity. Cheap won't last spend a little more and better blade. I also do 2 or 3 passes with each shave. Experiment with different blade and which best suit your beard type. Good luck

I never heard of anyone cleaning the blade. As far as I'm concerned, when the blade wears out, you replace it.

I have been using my trimmer very regularly for periods of up to three hours for two seasons. I am now using it for the third year. Because I am picky, I ordered a second blade cutting head last year to be sure I had a good sharp blade. I have never replaced any filter. I am not sure why an electric trimmer would need a filter. Most important to clean and lightly rub down the blades with oil. Grass and dirt collect inside the cutter head, so be sure to open and clean out the debris at the end of a trimming session. Also, label the charger and keep it in a safe place. Hard to get a replacement, I am told. I have been using my trimmer very regularly for periods of up to three hours for two seasons.

I am nor sure about replacing it - but Hamilton Beach is a good company so possibly they would replace the blades. It actually has very strong & rather thick blades too. I doubt it would wear out as quickly as the earlier type blades. Thank you for your question - Linda

I usually change the blades about once every 1to 2 weeks before I start to notice a difference in the quality of the shave.

Braun recommend changing your foil & cutter every 12/18 months. But this can also depend on usage. When shaving becomes sore on your face.Thanks

Sometime in the future you may want to buy replacement blades. I use mine everyday and get about 12 to 15 months before I have to replace them.

I have had mine for 3 yrs or so...strictly used in a home setting. Probably not built to take continual use in an office. I have yet to replace any parts, including the cutter wheel. Real nice trimmer. Hope this helps.
