How long does a replacement razor cartridge last?

I must be an oddball exception, because I can use these cartridges (as well as disposables) for a YEAR or MORE before they start to draw blood. Granted, I don't have the thickest of stubble, and I mostly shave after a shower when the hair is softer and easier to cut, but I seem to be getting way more mileage out of them than average. (I also clean the gunk off between the blades when done, so it doesn't have a chance to harden.)

In my vibrating Quattro razor, I get about 12 shaves per blade...maybe more. They're expensive but really last. Also, less cuts and nicks. I love the vibrating razor.

They will last longer if you dry them with a towel or denim cloth and then let them air dry. Wipe them against a cloth in the opposite direction that you use them to shave. The cartridges I just got were the best because I usually cut my face up with a new cartridge, but not with this batch.

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.

I have had my razor since July 2014. I used the unit twice a week and have not had to replace the foil yet. This unit works well for day to day usage such as a 5 o'clock shadow. If the beard grows out, he will need to cut it down prior to using this razor. The long hairs will definitely wear the unit out.

My wife uses it. The razor will last a lifetime. The blades last about a month for her.

The cleaning cartridge goes in the cleaning base and tap water goes in the water tank in the cleaning base...The razor head is cleaned, rinsed and dried in the cleaning stand...The cleaning cartridge last me about 30 days, I cleaned my razor after each use...The razor can be charged without using the cleaning base...The cord is simply connected to the razor when traveling or on vacation rather than connected to the cleaning base...

They say the cartridge lasts for approx. 100,000 gallons. It is adjustable, though, so your mileage may vary some. I opened mine up slightly (so it will get used up faster) and I've found that it lasts between 4-5 months. That's with 2 showers a day, on average, sometimes a third.

Depends on a lot of factors. If you shave frequently it will last longer than it will if you are shaving longer and stouter 2 day growth. The key to maintaining ANY razor is to dry it off after use. The best is to blow dry it, but a single shaking and towel drying helps too.

If it is left unopened and out of the sun, it will last years, when you use it, this bottle will last for about 8 - 12 cleanings. I notice a huge difference when I clean my razor.

I have a cheap hair dryer that I use to dry the blades well after each shave. That Cuts reduces oxidation and my blades usually last three or four weeks.

I use mine for 3 weeks for about probably 16 shaves. They can probably last longer and it depends how thick your beard comes in.

I only use the cleaning system when the razor is completely out of charge. Prior to that I either brush out the razor after each shave or I rinse it under water after i shave. I think I change the cartridge after about 12 cleanings (3 months).

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.

Had mine just over three months. I use it with hot water and hand soap. The blades are definitely less efficient than they were, although still better than my last razor.Out of the posters on this thread, three indicate a life of 3-4 months... Interesting. Guess I'll try the "Tom's brushless cream".J. Thayer, how old are you and how hard is your beard?

Recommended is 1 yr for the foil and 2 yrs for the blade I believe. I needed to replace the foil early due to a small hole and replaced my blades at the same time. Blades are cheaper than the foil. My replacement blade was better then the blades that came with the razor.

I haven't had the razor long enough yet to have to change the cartridge. Maybe it needs to be cleaned out with a high pressure spray.....maybe use something like a keyboard cleaner spray can or something like that.

The life of the cartridge depends on how often you use it and how large the areas you use it for. I purchased mine over 1 year ago and use for underarms and face every 3 weeks. I am on the 3rd cartridge. hope this is helpful.

I haven't had to replace mine yet but you can order them her on Amazon. That was one of the reasons I bought this shaver. It is extremely popular so replacement parts are easy to find.
