I use it after every shave. It not only cleans and charges the razor but the cleaning fluid is also acts as the lubricant for the blades. It gives the blades a longer life and you a better shave. This rwzir with the clean system us the best I've ever owned.

My husband does not have to use the razor very often, so he has not used the cleaning system. He is very happy with the performance of the razor.

I use it when I need to charge it. I will tell you that after 8 months of using this razor, I find it doesn't do well with a 2 day growth or whiskers that don't grow straight out.

It is not as good as it should be. For facial hair it takes time to remove.

If you jet clean your razor every day, as the company suggests, they say the bottle should last you a month.But some of us have been jet cleaning once a week using the "intensive" setting. Then we poor it into a jar through a coffee filter, so that it doesn't evaporate. Then we re-use it again the next week. We only top it off from the original bottle as needed. Doing it this way I am still on the original bottle and its been 3 months and I still have plenty. Others don't even bother using the jet clean at all. It isn't required.

I love it! My facial hair isn't very thick and I never use shave cream with any eiectric razor! But it! I had the option of a spare head or the cleaner. I'm glad I chose the cleaner!

It works really well for my husband and he has a mustache and no beard now. He says it's very easy to use and quick and easy to clean. Hope that helps somewhat :)

I've been using mine every two weeks for nine months and my hair has never stopped growing. My hair is not as coarse as it used to be, but still needs to be shaved every other day to get rid of stubble.

I shave once a week and my facial hair is course. I get two or three shaves from one blade. My friend who recommended feather blades gets about two or three weeks of shaves daily or every other day.

Normally the charger/cleaner will tell you when to clean. It seems to between 4-5 shaves for me, but I have a dark heavy beard.

I have also had a Panasonic wet/dry shaver very similar to this for about 15yrs (use it once a wk on face and twice a month on head) and I'm finally looking to replace it with another Panasonic for sure. (Posted this in support of the quality/longevity)

I must be an oddball exception, because I can use these cartridges (as well as disposables) for a YEAR or MORE before they start to draw blood. Granted, I don't have the thickest of stubble, and I mostly shave after a shower when the hair is softer and easier to cut, but I seem to be getting way more mileage out of them than average. (I also clean the gunk off between the blades when done, so it doesn't have a chance to harden.)

Hey Scott,Im not n everyday shaver; job doesn't really require it so I go about every 2 - 3 days. But to answer your question, I'd say about 4 - 5 shaves depending on how tough your beard is and the type of blade. I'm still testing on a few different blades. Good luck.

I use the jet clean after every shave. I only use the razor dry. I open each head and rinse them out before putting the razor in the jet clean, it only takes 15 seconds and makes the solution last longer. Then I put it in the jet clean and walk away. It gets the shaver nice and clean, it does lubricate it and charges it. Its like picking up a new shaver every time I shave. I dont feel it puts any extra wear on the cutter heads since it does not run dry, it only runs while in the solution. I feel it makes the heads last longer because the heads are not getting gummed up like my old norelcos did. I use the jet clean after every shave. I only use the razor dry.

It can be. Each time I use it less hair comes back. You only need to use it about once a month. The hair on my legs, arms, and mustache begin to grow back slowly.

For the last couple of years I have been using the Gillette Mach 3 daily during my morning shower to shave my head and face and have to say for me it does the trick. Like lots of active blokes I have scars and bumps to deal with and as long as I don't rush I get a clean shave each time.

I had acne when I was young and alwayd used an electric shaver without any problem. I think its still the best way to shave at any age.

I am able to use this for several months. Keep in mind I don't have the most robust facial hair so I only shave 3-4 times a week.
