So they don't sell replacement parts such as razor or foil? I guess it's cheap enough to justify $15 every few months but... you know, cheap.

I don't know if replacement parts are available. At the rate I'm using the razor, it could be a year or two before I will need to replace the foil and blades. I wouldn't be surprised if they cost about the same as a new razor, so it would be a tough call whether to buy the parts or a new razor.

I had the better Braun Pocket for about 6 years before the foil cracked. This time I bought this razor and the Panasonic. I like both of them equally well and I alternate them. I am sure replacement parts would be more than the cost of the razor itself.

I always have a couple spares laying around, but the razor seems to last forever. I have one that is over two years old and I have never yet tonot get a nice, close shave from it. They are the best - especially for the price.

Looking around online, it appears there is a foil here (I don't know the retailer...) and I see them on ebay too (again...not sure). The price is only a little cheaper than the entire shaver, so it's wasteful but it seems like the marketplace just wants us to buy new ones.http://www.shavers.com/product-p/bm60foil.htmAlso looking around online, it seems like people say that the foil lasts 9 months, a year, or longer. So, not too bad of a deal compared with other razors where even the replacement foil costs more than $15.

It is a very cheap product, it wouldn't make a lot of sense fiscally to spend half the cost of the product to ship a part. But you would think for customer service they would work with you.

Yes blade replacements are needed occasionally (more often if you are cutting thicker material). Blades are anywhere from 8-15 dollars depending on where you purchase, and if on sale or not. Simple replacement, diy.

There's a youtube video hack of how to replace the blades with standard double-edged razor blades. The baKblade 'cartridge' is just 3 of those in a plastic shell.

I don't think it would be economical to replace the blade as the squeegie is cheaper or as cheap as new blades. and no I don't think it can be replaced anyway. Unless you clean windows more than once every 2 months (how many people do that? lol) it's worth its cost.

I wish I could help but I've had three of these great little razors over several years. The only thing that seems to wear out is the foil. I have never been able find replacements.

check out www.goodmans.net. I think they're connected to other suppliers. I haven't dug into my records yet, but I believe this site was where I finally located the parts I needed, but somehow it was a Nebraska supplier I finally dealt with. So I bought two foils and two sets of cutters. I ended up having to place my order by phone. As I recall, this outfit also specializes in repairing older razors. I'm sorry my recollection isn't complete on this, but if I can get more info on this Nebraska outfit, I'll post that as well.

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.

I doubt parts are available, and why would you bother? It's basically a "throw away" device. The non-replaceable nickle cadmium battery has proven poorly and does not age well. For $20 something buy a new one (best to choose a different brand so as to avoid the battery charging issues you can read about in the reviews).

I have replaced the foil and cutter at the recommended intervals using products from Amazon. They are much cheaper than what is locally available, and the razor shaves like new again with them.

They've been really good about sending us replacement parts when I contact Lifetime directly. However, I've just stopped trying, because I have to order new parts every couple months. Boo to poor quality parts.

I have searched and searched, but cannot find anywhere that sells replacement blades. I've had mine for a couple years now, and use it regularly. I used it a whole lot when I first got it. The blades are still good. I wish there were a way to replace the blades, but it looks like there is not.

For the price they have it for the part . It most likely would end up costing the same as a new one.

I have been using mine everyday for well over a year, and I have not needed to replace anything on it. I have not looked to see if there are any replacement parts available, so I can't give you a good answer on that. All I know is that I love this thing! This is one gadget that works like it should, and that is coming from a mechanical design engineer.......

My initial battery lasted several years. Since this is a lower priced razor I found it cheapest to by a new one because the batteries should only be replaced by an authorised service station and a new one also comes with a new $27 head which should be replaced every year. I use the old razor as a spare using the charging coard for an electrical power source.

Like the others said. And I even spoil myself a bit: I replace them every 2-3 shaves. I buy the persona blades (made in the US). 100 blades for $12. This style of shaving is sooo cheap you don't need to worry about "making the most of your blades."

Anywhere you can find them. The replacement heads for these are the RQ12. For some reason they are about $130 a piece AND they are sold out everywhere. Or don't buy the replacement heads at all and buy a new razor. Unless you like the idea of paying $130 a year.
