Do you have to replace the cutting blades? If so how often?

No...proper maintenance would be just to oil them and to brush excess hair from the blades.

Mindy, Once you remove the deep cut housing from the machine it's very easy to replace the blade. You need to first take the housing out and then the blade screws in and out. You unscrew the housing to get the old blade out. Then out the new blade in and your back to crafting :)

Good question...I don't know. I know they tell you to use the brush and the oil to keep the blades going, but replacement blades would be nice.

My husband has had his razor of over a year and I am thinking about replacing them for him. I have just read someone saying that they took their shaver somewhere and had it cleaned and that this person told him that they only needed replacing every three years.

Yes you can. I never have, but I know Amazon sells a sharpener for it. I think it's cheaper just to replace the blade then buy a sharpener though. So unless you plan on using it a whole lot.......

I don't know, mine has never lasted long enough to dull the blades. I've gone through two of them thus far. Probably on the waring site.

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.

It depends on how much of the edge is gone. If they can be rehoned it would require special sharpening materials and considerable experience. I would recommend replacing them.

No, but I've had one of these for about ten years now, and it's just started having problems cutting within the past month. I looked to see if it could be fixed, but it looks like I'm better off just to replace it.

Braun states that you should replace this every 18 months. You will definitely feel a smoother and closer shave with the new blades.

very rarely. i use mine for about an hour of run time every month and oil it only if i notice the blades heating up more than usual.

I have had mine for 3 yrs or so...strictly used in a home setting. Probably not built to take continual use in an office. I have yet to replace any parts, including the cutter wheel. Real nice trimmer. Hope this helps.

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.

Hey, so it's been two years that I have this product.. I think I can finally say that I need to replace the blades (or actually buy a new one, it's less hassle and almost same price)It's not that it's not cutting anymore, rather that it feels it's 'pulling' more on the hair than it used to when it was cutting perfectly.I am using the trimmer on average once a week, sometimes more sometimes less,hope I helped

Good question. I've never done it but since the blades unscrew, I assume they will replace, but best to contact Leatherman to confirm. I've use their smooth and serrated blades a lot over all the years of use and except for scratches, it may take another 20,000 years to actually see wear. :) I love this product. Hard to top it.

I think the replacement blade is listed on their website but after having this mower for 3 years I have never needed one. If you have a dremel, you can flip the mower on it's side and sharpen the blade in 5 minutes. It's very easy. I do it twice a season and it's good as new. If you hit something big though you will need a new blade.

Probably but message the manufacterer. You would surely meed to replace the blade.
