How long would one blade last?

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 personally shave about every other day or every 3rd day depending on if I'm going out with family or what but my blades last 6 shaves. But the blade also has a lot to do with its Longevity. Cheap won't last spend a little more and better blade. I also do 2 or 3 passes with each shave. Experiment with different blade and which best suit your beard type. Good luck

I do 4 shaves then change blades. Good blades like ASTRA SP - 100 for about $10USD- are too cheap to use a dull blade.

The derby blade that was included has lasted 3 shaves so far...still is giving a nice shave no razor burn yet...this is the first time I have used Derby brand razors so i am notbsure how long it will go

I find the blades last well over a month. Cost is a fraction of what you would pay for the five bladed systems and without any exaggeration I get a far superior shave. I am very impressed with this beautiful razor and blades.

I believe there is a site on-line to buy a replacement blade... however.... it should take a few years to go through the first blade according to my usage anyway.

I use mine for 3 weeks for about probably 16 shaves. They can probably last longer and it depends how thick your beard comes in.

I too would like to know. How long do the rotary blades typically last on Norelco razors?

My wife can use hers about 5 times before it starts to lose it's edge. I would assume it depends on what blades you use and how thick the hair is that is being shaved. I like to use a razor that is a bit more aggressive when I shave my face but mine only last about three or four shaves. it doesn't really matter to me though since you can buy a couple months worth of blades for as much as a cup of coffee at starbucks.

I use my mower quite often, and the blades are still cutting well.I will sharpen them, before I put the mower away for the winter, so I think that once a year would be sufficient for blade sharpening.

Mine lasted three months. I juiced daily and ran everything on high speed. You can't expect any juicer blade to last too long if you use it often. The only thing is that Breville sells this filter for less than HALF of the cost of this one on Amazon. That's nuts. I love my Breville juicer. Three to four months..expect that long for your blade/filter to last. Happy juicing everyone!

I personally use each blade for a week/seven days before swapping it out for a new one. I've used them for longer and they start to dull after that.

I would think you could tell when your knives no longer cut properly. Also I don't need to use it that often, so I believe for me it will last quite a while.

I bought a blade and it cracked after a few months. I just put my food processor away in the garage. Another blade doesn't seem worth it, but hand chopping herbs is very time consuming.

This is one of the long cutting blades. The higher the number on the blade, the shorter the hair cut. This one cuts about 3/4 of an inch long. for the summer I use a number 10 or 15 blade. As long as you take care of these blades, your trimmer will last a long time. Be sure to clean it after each use and spray it with the blade oil before putting it away. These blades are great!

I occasionally use a steel for two or three swipes just to be sure no small burs are left on the blade. Probably not really necessary, but old habits die hard. Very little metal removed and the sharpened blades seem to hold their edge for at least a month.

I find that the blades will last for up to two weeks with proper care. The trick is that they get dull from corrosion, not from use. If you can get all of the debris off of the blade, and get the water off, they will last a very long time. For my safety razor, I loosen the head as much as possible, then clean both sides of the blade with hot water. I then tighten and shake vigorously to remove as much water as possible. Living in a dry climate, that is all that is necessary for me.

This is not normal based on my experience. I used my first foil for 3-4 years before replacing it when I replaced the cutting blades. There was nothing visually wrong with the foil at replacement. It was cutting efficiently, also. The second foil has been in use for about 3 years and is still OK.

Sometime in the future you may want to buy replacement blades. I use mine everyday and get about 12 to 15 months before I have to replace them.

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

It comes with one blade and it can last several shaves depending on your skin, your hairs, etc. Some men get 4-5 shaves out of a single blade, I use mine 1-2 times because I have very sensitive skin and thick facial hairs. But at a few cents per blade, using them even just once is a steal compared to cartridge razors.
