How hard is it to switch between the different blades and the shaver?

Well, it's not like putting a top on a pen but after a few minutes of practice to get the angle right you'll be changing heads like a pro.

No problems at all. The different heads just click into place. Just push em in at an angle.

I am not a 100% sure about the numbers being there for QC but the general consensus seems to be so. About changing the blade sides; That is a beginner OCD myth that I fell to myself when I began DE shaving. See, you really do use all the blade sides anyway and with continued practice, you will know when it's time for a new blade and blade usage varies from person to person and technique to technique. In my blade rotation, the last Astra I used lasted me about 10 days, good to the last drag... whereas, for me, a Voskhod is only good for 3 shaves.

As long as you have a Current Converter you should be good to go. I have to say that the shave is really smooth and thee ability to clean the blade wit water is an added bonus. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Me, too! I had very little trouble adjusting, though I was also nervous to switch,but it is much better for the environment. There are many videos on YouTube but just make sure you use a slick, glycerin soap, keep the area wet and soapy, and keep a light touch, letting the razor's weight do the work. Be extracareful around bones and curves. Find your favorite blade by trying sample packs available online. Good luck! You can do this!

Never. Very smooth comfortable shave. And very close to shaving with a razor as far as the results go. Don't hesitate.

Gerald,Changing blades is quite straight forward. Hold the razor in the middle of the handle and turn the knurled part of the handle shaft at the bottom until you can lift the top part of the head from the body.You will see that this mentioned top part of the head has a thread shaft that screws into the handle.Once you do this the rest is self-explanatory; nonetheless just slide the blade onto the threaded shaft, insert the blade and top head into the handle and tighten.

No. Another reason it didn't work for me. Very cumbersome. And uneven shave.

We believe you will be very satisfied with this shaver. Remember, it takes about 30 days for your skin to adjust to new shaving methods.

to be honest with you Michael i dont bother changing the blades.they Probally would be just as expensive as the razor ,However i did find one solution that helped to a Degree.the razor comes with an extra screen so once the Razor starts to show signs of not working like it did 6 months ago, just replace the screen that comes with it Carefully and you will see a Difference in Sharpness.i buy a razor liek this every 6 months or so and im happy.

Laura, re your question, I am not sure. I like the razor as it has 3 different shaving screens and I use the closest shaving one. If I let my beard grow out more than a few days then I use the trimmer to cut it shorter then I use the razor part.I like the razor except for the switch problem. Maybe you can try it out and if happy with results, great. If the results are not good, be sure to return it within 30 days for Amazon return.

In my case blade shaving irritated my skin. The electric will do the same if you press too hard but it is the convenience of not having to lather up but can shave on the go at most any time that appeals to me. An electric like this will not shave a beard unless you buy the one with a built in trimmer.

No. I bought this set with intentions to eventually update some of the pieces for my husband and bought a Merkur Model 180 Long Handled Safety Razor for him to switch between regular shaving and safety razor. He loves it!

Yes it is very easy. This razor is a 3 piece razor. You merely unscrew the handle from the head to replace blades. It takes less than a minute. Make sure you dispose of your used blades properly because they are sharp.

I have not tried switching the handle, however Badger and Blade dot com is a fantastic Shaving community.

Please check the specs for the types of blades included with the unit. I have not changed them, but from what I have read, and what I can see, the blades seem very easy to change.

I shave my face and my head about every 3rd day or so, and I change the blade after every 3rd shave. They'd probably last a lot longer than I use them, but I don't wait for it to dull.

It is easy (I'd youtube the videos because I'm a visual learner) BUT, I would caution you when changing the blades. Obviously you wouldn't put your fingers on the part where the razors stick out. But, even the sides of the razor (the unsharpened sides) can still cut your fingers if you put pressure on them when unscrewing the head.
