I replaced cutterheads and it didn't really help. I boiught a new razor,more expensive, and it isn't doing a satisfactory job either. I am puzzled

I just bought a new one, and it isn't doing any better than my old one. I am puzzled too.

Have you replaced the heads? It is recommended that they be replaced every year. Hope this helps.

You may simply need to use a little extra pressure. I had been using an Atra when I bought this razor and had to press a little harder to get my blades to fit. It seems to be working fine now. Hope this works for you.

It didn't work well for me either. I took off a lot of steel shavings using it but it was never razor sharp. Try a stone. I wonder if you run it through their sharpener then a stone if it doesn't sharpen up quick.

Same issue after two years-over which I used the unit only twenty times, so less than a month's worth of shaves for someone using it daily. Just read on the Wahl site that there's a 5-year limited warranty, so I'll give that a try.

I have not had this problem so really can't help you. However, Siah Brown's answer seems logical to me. If your problem continues, I would contact the company to see what they suggest. I have this B&D; trimmer plus their chain saw and alligator saw....love all three!

I haven't had the razor long enough yet to have to change the cartridge. Maybe it needs to be cleaned out with a high pressure spray.....maybe use something like a keyboard cleaner spray can or something like that.

I have used the Gillette Sensor blades since they were introduced. I recently ordered Sensor Excel blades (by mistake) and find they aren't nearly as sharp and fall short of the good shave I got with the older model Sensor blade.

I've been using those same blades with this. They are know to be mild blades and this DE is also known to have a mild angle. I also can't get a super close shave unless I let it grow for at least three days. I've tried Wilkinson Sword blades and those do seem sharper. Try a sample pack and maybe you can find one that works better.

Sometimes you get a bad blade from the factory. I have been using my father's blades and I think the older ones were made better.Which blade is giving you this problem? Is it one blade or many?Keeping the blade clean is important and don't over oil them.Hope this helps

If going down a number doesn't work then maybe it is dull, and wasn't washer properly. I run a paper towel through mine (no water if possible cause that dulls blade) to clean blade. Mine cut easily the moment I got it, if yours didn't the fault is not yours, but whoever you purchased from.

The replacement blade works well. I might have been smarter to buy a new razor for the batteries do not last as long as they did when I first bought the razor.

shaved ice. and make sure the cutting blade is tight before you use it? it seems like that is a problem with them. after you do that it works fine. thank yiu

I did have the same problem when I first used it. I shut off the trimmer and moved the blade head with my hand ( or hit it on your palm) and it was fine after that.

Same with me also, I would say when the blades don't cut clean and start to pull a bit is when I will replace mine. Hope this helps, -scott

I have had this product almost 3 years and slowly, over the past year, the problem described in the initial post above developed. It seems to have something to do with the contact points between the razor and the base. For a while, just jiggling it took care of it. Now, not so much. Given the initial cost of the product + the ongoing cost of the liquid, I feel ripped off despite the fact that I'm very happy with the shave it gives. I hesitate to buy a new one.

I've had mine for 8 years now and noticed it's not as sharp as it used to be. For $10, it's time for a new one.
