Are these razors good for shaving your legs? I am tired of buying expensive razors only to be able to shave twice per razor.

They seem to be no less sharp than the Excel blades I have been using, but it seems that leg hair is really hard on razors so all in, no better, no worse. Sorry but shaving legs is not a part of my grooming routine.

Being a man, I don't shave my legs, but if shaving your facial hair is any clue, I can get 10 very good shaves and about 4 or 5 more acceptable shaves from one good news razor, I hope this helps

To extend the life of any disposable razor, after shaving rinse the razor off well. Get a small paper cup and fill it with any brand baby oil. Pour enough in the cup so that the razor head is completely submerged in the baby oil. Leave it in the cup until your next shave. And just repeat that after every shave. You'll be amazed the extra shaves you can get out of your disposable razor.

You can use just about any razor to shave your head; just be careful to not slip it sideways. I do see razors specifically designed for this. They are short and have a loop for your finger. You would save a lot on trips to the barber!

This razor appears to be another version of Weishi razor based off an old Gillette patent. Standard double edge blades should work. I recommend trying a good quality platinum, chrome, or titanium blade before giving up on the razor. I saw these razors in the As Seen On TV section of a national chain store recently, but they didn't have additional blades in the HBA section.

I can get an average of 4 really nice shaves out of a Feather blade.. That's pretty good cause there is not a blade that last me long. Feathers give a nice smooth shave

I have gotten as many as eight good shaves out of one blade. Beyond that number, the shaves start leaving more spots that the alum tends to indicate after the shave. I don't have course whiskers, and sort of tender skin. I do use pre-shave oil and usually lather up with Neutrogena bar soap, and follow up with the alum treatment. Very nice blades and they work nice for me. I only shave my face, not the whole head.

Works really great for my arms and back. Though sometimes it might leave bumps if your skin is irritated. As far as legs it didn't work for me I just stick with the schick hydro silk 5 replaceable razors they work miracles.

These are as good as the razors you get for them and as good as your technique. Just practice and you'll do great. Try not to apply pressure and do it fluidly with a good lather. Look up forums online that can help you achieve the perfect shave. Such as wickededge on reddit. A friendly community that teaches you a lot.

The razor takes standard double edge blades. They are available in all price ranges on Amazon. I usually pick up mine in the local drug store. A pack of 10 only costs a few dollars and will last me a year.

It is an excellent razor. You might want to look at somme Youtube videos on wet shaving. It takes longer than the Gillette 5 blade razors, but done right you will not have ingrown hairs, and will get a close shave. The most important factor is using a good shaving soap - I use a brush and bowl to work up a good lather, and I use Derby blades which are not too sharp but work well. You might buy a sampler pack from Amazon and find which blades work for you. Don't be put off by the information. I will never go back to Gillette/Shick, etc razors. 100 blades costs me $10, shaving soap is cheap and I get a great shave each morning with a small cut a rarity.

I'm a woman and I decided to try this razor about a month ago and it's the best razor I've ever used! My legs have NEVER been this smooth with other razors. Try it!

Hi Joanne, I'm honestly not sure about men's razors, I would recommend going to the Square Trade website to ask them directly.

In my opinion, it depends on how much unwanted hair is present. And, if your legs are exposed because you are wearing shorts, you may consider shaving every two to three days in the summer time and in the winter, maybe once a week. This electric razor does not work very well and barely shaves the leg hair. I would not recommend this model.

Don't know about that I do know that the razors are cheaper than the blades.Now that I think about it call their consumer line and ask. They would have the answer and sometimes you get a coupon to try something new.

I shave everyday and usually flip the blade halfway through the week. Most of them will last a week or a little more. Every blade is different as is everyone's shaving demands. However the blades are far cheaper so theres the pay off.

I'm even more late, but thought I'd add my 2 cents. I have used two norelco rotary shavers, two Braun foil shavers and a Panasonic foil. Hands down the best shave is from the Panasonic. One of the Norelco's is my first electric razor purchased back in 1994 and still running like new - now that is quality construction. However the shave closeness is not as good compared to more recent shavers and takes forever. The other norelco is a much newer one, one of their recent nivea lotion models. I can get a good shave out of it, but it lacks in comparison to the Panasonic, not as close and takes much longer. The Braun's both performed excellently, but always left me with irritation, and sometimes good burns too. Both were self-cleaning synchro shavers. If you want strictly dry shaving, Braun is a good choice. Panasonic, a fully immersible wet/dry electric, I may have never used this razor dry, I can't remember so I won't comment on that. i prefer wet shaving with a quality soap or cream and brush, in the shower. It always gives me an almost blade close shave, without any irritation or most importantly bleeding. It never looses power when confronted with dense growth unlike the norelco's. If I have 2 days growth the norelco motor is audibly and sensibly effected. The Panasonic is unaffected It's motor plows through anything. I have loved my Panasonic ES8228S so much, but have decided to upgrade to the ES-LA93K. Will the Panasonic be up on ebay, like the fate of my other dis-guarded razors? HELL NO! I will keep it for a rainy day, change of pace, in case the 93k explodes or some other act of God takes it from me. I will continue to love my ES8228S for it's lifetime. Seriously guys, it's that good.

They are not reversible, what are you using for shaving gel? I have had no issues with the blades. I highly recommend using the razor in a warm shower so that the hair folicles loosen up.

In my vibrating Quattro razor, I get about 12 shaves per blade...maybe more. They're expensive but really last. Also, less cuts and nicks. I love the vibrating razor.
