Since the manufacturer rates the razor blade as a one-time-only use, can the device be opened and the blade replaced?

the one time use is refering to the razor blade. the blade cannot be replaced, however it can be used several times to cut a seat belt untill the blade is to dull to cut the material. the most effective way to cut a seat belt is to hold tension on the belt and pull the blade at a 45 degree angle. when using the hammer to break glass. you would want to aim for one of the corners of the window. if you strike the center of the window, it will flex sightly and absorb energy causing it to be harder to break.

Is this blade truly a one time use? As in, I use it to free myself, and then it is not able to be reused to free my children?

It looks pretty stationary to me, but I didn't look at it that closely, since the main reason I got the tool was for breaking out a window if I couldn't get it down and my car had gotten caught in a flash flood or was otherwise floating in water and sinking. You literally have just minutes to get out. They say if you wait til the car settles, water pressure inside and out will equalize and you can push a door open with your feet. But I watched a video of trained responders getting out of a sinking car. By the time a car settles underwater -- you will have drowned.

If you need to use something like this more than once, you probably aren't living right.

I haven't replaced them. Most of the time I shave with a blade, however I use the electric when I'm feeling really lazy....And, as I've had this for a while I find that its just a so-so razor. Nothing works like a real blade. Good luck!

Yes. The single blade is on the cartridge, not on the razor itself, and all Fusion cartridges have this.

I haven't had to replace mine yet but you can order them her on Amazon. That was one of the reasons I bought this shaver. It is extremely popular so replacement parts are easy to find.

The one I purchased had only the one blade. I do not know if there are other packaging options which include replacement blades or not.

No. I owned one and found out it can't be replaced. Never bought another one.

I am also having to replace the foil after 10 months of use, but the razor has not been performing well for the past four months. I think Braun's assertion that blades should be changed every 18 months is incorrect.

I just use it for almost a year. Want to buy a blade to be rapidly replaced.

Most likely not. They want to sell more razors and blades so they change the mounts, forcing you to buy one blade for one type razor. I know; I tried the same thing several years ago.

Yes you can replace the blade. It comes with a sharpening stone though so replacement is not really necessary unless something terminal happens.

I've only used it once, and the answer is no. I have to go back and redo large patches that it missed, and had to follow up with a multi-blade disposable.

I've replaced the blades sometime after the razor stopped reminding me to - on average that's about every 15 months. As others have written I have not yet replaced the foil although it is recommended to do so after a couple of blade swaps. I figure that the razor will need replacing sooner as the battery life has dropped over the 4 years that I have had it and the foil cost is a significant way towards a new shaver!

The blade is basically a heavy razor blade that is replaceable. I am using a serrated blade in my knife. I would say yes.

I have to agree with the other comments. The replacement blades worked perfectly, however, my razor is very old and needs replacing.

Remington battery that is specific to this shaver that are rechargeable, as far as I know it is not accessible or replaceable

I'm using it till the blades get dull and then get a new one. I don't think it's worth trying to sharpen again but the company may be able to offer a replacement blade. I'm sure that's the most costly part of the device.
