I've had this a couple years, never replaced the blades. Any indicator when you should replace them? Seems to still work fine.

Depends on your beard type (heavy, light, etc) and how well you maintain the razor. I take care of mine but have to replace the blades every 6 months or the performance suffers.

Haven't changed mine yet, but will place an order soon. It's taking longer to get a good shave, so that's my indicator!

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

From what I've gathered the replacement parts are it. In some cases they're not easy to get a hold of either. The electronics store here in town that sells thousands of these things, in all makes and models, carries not one set of replacement blades. For a while after I bought my first apache s109, there weren't any replacement blades/kits for those, even at the manuf website they didn't exist. I think the ones less than 20$ are supposed to be disposable but I've invested in the replacement blades sets and they're worth it if they engines are still good. The biggest learning experience for me though was learning that some models/makes SUCK right out of the box and its a total loss:(

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

Same here. Looked into it and it seems they carry a limited lifetime warranty on their blades. Others indicated positive experiences with their customer service department, so I would say you're in good shape. I think the warranty is also listed in detail on the KA-BAR website.

Mary,I've not found replacement blades for this pencil sharpener. But, get this sharpener. It works great! One review I read said after 2 years the sharpener still works. For the price, if you can't find replacement blades after 2 years, buy another sharpener. Gregg

I have purchased replacement blades, it's not too difficult to find them, but be shocked by the price. I think I had to pay about $50, which was the cheapest price I could find.

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!

I understand the CutterPillar blade does not need replacing, at least not "for years." I have not tried one, though, and they seem to be currently sold out. Just thought I'd add- they do sell some refurbished models on ebay.

I being using mine for over 8 months and I haven't replace the blade yet, but if you need replacements STD sells them and are easy to replace

Mine last about two years as well. It just doesn't cut the same and hurts. Replaced the blade and had a professional barber "zero" it in. Slight helped but still kinda hurts. Always kept mine well oiled. Going to purchase another one as this device has paid for itself time after time by allowing me to cut my hair at home.

Need to remove both blades. Always replace both blades at the same time and a website called banggood.com has all replacement parts cheap with free shipping

We haven't had to replace the blades, however when we did have a problem with the unit, we were able to get a replacement from the same vendor. Fast service. They answered our questions quickly via email and were most helpful. I am sure that they can either get parts or help you get a replacement. Be aware though that there wouldn't be any warranty so you would be better off, as we were, by getting the replacement. They can send an entire new unit for a special price, probably cheaper than a part would be.

I wish I could help, but I've never had a problem with the blade cracking. Perhaps, there was a flaw in the one you had.

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.

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.
