How do the numbers on the razor work?
1998934
the lower the number [i.e. 1], the safer the shave. the higher the number [i.e. 7], the closer the shave.

The numbers on the razor adjusts the angle at which the razorblade rests on your face.

The higher the number, the closer the shave. It changes the angle and depth of the blade. Caution, this is not a beginners razor. The lowest setting on this razor is more aggressive than most other razors.

Eduardo, I disagree. I think the numbers are so that you can change sides of the blade and edges to get maximum use of each blade. The numbers are of help to you to determine which side or edge you should use for your next shave.

I do not remember. I so disliked this razor that I sent it back after three weeks. After shopping around I wound up buying a Whal instead that offered free blades every 18 months for life.

The shaver works either way, but plugged in it seems to have a little more power. I switched to Braun after being a norelco rotary user for years but it was not cutting my neck hairs and the cutter heads were too expensive. You get a carrying case, little cleaning brush, a little bottle of oil, the cord, and the operating instructions. A very good razor for the money!!

This razor is slightly different than other blade and foil designs. This actually has four foils and four blades. Only two are separate blades. The two in the middle of the foil assembly are integrated into the assembly. The foil has to have an edge to cleave the hair. The holes in the foil are tapered to produce that knife edge. Each time the lower blade encounters a hair through any hole in the foil it slams it against the edge of the hole which cleaves the hair. While the hair is softer than the foil it does leave a mark on the edge making it dull. The lower blade also suffers a dulling, but at a much slower pace. Were this a completely separate foil and blade design the foil should be changed every six months and blades once a year. Since you must change the integrated blades when changing the foil, you might as well change the replaceable blades as well. Your beard will dictate the actual need to change the foil and blades. Blond men will need to change more often because they generally have more hairs per square inch than dark haired people. Asians tend to have less hair follicles in their beard, and can go longer on a set of blades. Of course how often you use the razor makes a difference if you don't shave every day. Using the cleaner every day will increase blade life, and present your face with a clean razor.

It uses 2 AA I use the ultra Duracell. It is a really great razor especially for the price.

Some brands of razor blades stamp the blades so that if there is a quality control concern during the manufacturing process there is a way to identify the sides of the blade. Usually the blade has "1 2" on one side and "3 4" on the other. People frequently ask if the numbers are to designate a side that is better for shaving, but both sides are the same in that regard. Some men use the numbers for keeping track of the edge that they most recently used during their shave. The argument is that flipping the blade in the razor between shaves allows the edge to be worn down more evenly. However, most people just ignore the numbers and enjoy their shaves as usual.

I can't answer this specific question. I never tried it with any other razor.

I usually do one, maybe two, just to be thorough. I suppose it will depend in your beard. I have found this razor to require no more "passes" than, say, a Mach III, or whatever the current equivalent would be. Just takes a little getting used to is all.

I cannot say for sure because I never really searched for them. Nor will I look for them because my razor keeps shutting off when I am shaving. I am not saying this is a bad shaver it just can't keep up with my whiskers. But then again I haven't found any kind that does. Electric, single, double or triple. So I am sorry that I cannot help.

On all my Braun Shavers there was a number on it which was the model number.

Displays numeric. It shows the number of estimated minutes remaining to shave. I typically charge mine once every 3-4 weeks when I shave every morning.

It depends in the which razor handle yuo are using. If it is a fixed head, these load from the side: if, like my own, it has a swivel head, these load by depressing a button near the top of the handle and snapping into the back of the blade holder ensuring that the lubra-strip is uppermost, blades below.

The blue button activates the power, "ProGlide", the blades vibration supposedly pulls slightly on the hair and the next blade cuts it. Thus giving you a closer and cleaner shave. The picture near the bottom of the shaft twists apart to install a AA battery. Personally I notice no difference at all shaving with it turned off or on.

I am not really sure to the correct answer of the RPM's. I will say that I am very dissapointed with this razor! It cuts poorly, requiring several passes over the same area before it is shaven. Some areas of my face it completely cannot cut. I find myself having to go over my face with a regular blade razor to get a clean close shave. I did however, get the razor at a very good price, which causes me to wonder if I got a imitation knockoff, or a referbished model.

I got a sold metal razor. It had no name on the package, I had read in other reviews that it is a crap shoot as to what shows up. I did not order the cheapest one advertised and hoped ordering from Sodial that I would get their brand. It does seem to be a decent razor.

That's a great question! I'm sorry if there is any confusion regarding which razor(s) you purchasing. The good news is that these are the same great blades you are used to! We changed the name earlier this year from Venus Divine to Venus Divine Sensitive to better represent the blades inside. It was a packaging change only and not to the product. If you receive a package that is different in color, it may be from an outdated promotion or from the previous production packaging. I hope this helps! ~ Rose, Gillette Community Manager
