how often do the blades need to be replaced?

Depends on how often you use it.I haven't had to replace it myself just yet. I actually only use it when I'm traveling.I've used it over many times (around 2dozen) and the blades still seem just fine to me.It's depends on the person. How fast does their hair grow? How often do they plan on using it in a week? Is this simply for the face or are you using it on the body as well? These factors are going to have a big difference on how often you need to change the blades. I'd imagine anywhere from 8-15 months from constant use on the entire body.

I've been using my XR1370 for about 8 months on a daily basis and cutting heads are still working perfectly. To answer your question more comprehensively, there a a few variables to consider e.g. the nature of the beard, light, medium, heavy; how often one shaves; wet or dry (I started using my shaver dry then decided to try "wet" i.e. with shaving foam - gives a great shave!; cutter life also depends on how well you look after the shaver i.e. cleaning the cutting heads - I do on a daily basis rinsing out under the tap. Hope this helps. Remington recommend replacement about every 12 months and for me that will probably be about right - on previous Remington shavers I've had the heads last 15 months or more.

Although I dont shave daily. The original ones seem to be as good as ever. (In other words I dont know or I didn't even know they were replaceable or that they wore out. Lol)

I've never had that problem (over 3 years since I purchased it), although my blades did break, and needed replacing, after about a year.

It is recommended to replace once per year, but it also depends on how frequent and how thick the hair is you shave.

It's recommended that you replace the blades every year and the outer foil every two years. Both are very easy to change.

The blades are not the best. It depends on how much you use them and what kind of wood you are planing. You will have to replace them after a short time.

Not sure if blade could be replaced...Mine has never worn out...so the need to replace hasn`t come up..

I replace mine once a year. A lot depends on how clean your house is and if you have pets that shed hair. I have two cats.

I've replaced the blades sometime after the razor stopped reminding me to - on average that's about every 15 months. As others have written I have not yet replaced the foil although it is recommended to do so after a couple of blade swaps. I figure that the razor will need replacing sooner as the battery life has dropped over the 4 years that I have had it and the foil cost is a significant way towards a new shaver!

The razor blades last about 1 year. I've found that the cost to replace the blades and screen is very close to the cost of a new razor, so I opt just to buy a new one.

I haven't had to replace the blade yet.This is my second one as I gave my first to my son since he kept borrowing it.

Hello Ajax,My husband just received the razor in the mail and is wondering, too, about how often one needs to replace the blade. One per week would be a minimum of $520/yr, that is if he bought two blades at a time and didn't have to pay shipping.

Hi R.S. Wanat,I would say about ten times or more if you space it out with shaving every two to three days to make the blades last longer. They really do a good job getting rid of the stubble. The blades are super sharp so please shave gently. After awhile just like with any blade you will start to feel a pulling sensation(dull blade) which is a signal to change to a new blade. Wishing you many happy shaves.

I haven't replaced them. Most of the time I shave with a blade, however I use the electric when I'm feeling really lazy....And, as I've had this for a while I find that its just a so-so razor. Nothing works like a real blade. Good luck!

Depends on your hair really. Typically a blade lasts me about a week. I make it a ritual to change my blade every week regardless.

A LONG time. It was years before I had to replace mine, but I don't use it every day. Maybe a couple times a week is all.

As I purchased this for a friend, and am a man, I presumethat one would change the blade every one to 2 weeks. Depending on how often you shave your legs

I just bought extra blades but I have cleaned and sharpened them before. Hope this helps.
