Is it best to start with a new blade and/or will it recondition older ones? How does it work anyway? Something on the molecular level?

A used blade is best and who knows how exactly it works. It seems to sharpen the blade by removing layers of shaving cream and hair that has stayed on the blade after use.

All it does is true up the blade by removing microscopic nicks and dings. The surface in the box is essentially a piece of mirror, which by its nature is extremely straight/smooth/true (so there are no distortions when looking at your reflection). Running a warm razor blade over this extremely true surface presses tiny dings in the edge of the blade back into line. I have one of these and highly recommend it but in truth, any piece of mirror will do the same thing.

Don't know exactly how it works, used it on a used razor blade which extended it life for about 6 weeks of daily use

Very simple. Just pull up on the front of the blade and it will pop out and put the new one in the same place.

Sorry, I don't understand the question ... How can a blade work with another blade ?

I'm not sure. In my case, the motor does not work any longer, so replacing the blade wouldn't matter...

Do not believe you can buy a replacement blade anymore, company went out of business a few years back. But, another did buy the leftover inventory and had some units for sale, you have to buy the complete unit. I got another last YEAR, WELL WORTH THE MONEY.

I just wrap the old blade up and put it back in the box. Will wrap box in plastic before putting in the trash. The used blades are still good for razor blade scrapers. I use them to remove paint from windows after painting.

For future readers, you can YouTube this and easily and quickly remove the blade with a screwdriver. I just did it. And I'm an old chick. : )

It is possible that the blade is not all the way in. Mine had to be turned a little and carefully pushed in to the appropriate position. But once I got it on and tried to start it IT froze up on me. I could 't get it appear and ended up sending it back dirty. I DIDN't get another. I got a different brand. I hope you have a better experience than I did. Good luck.

I took the blade off to clean it. Be advised the blade is very sharp. Watch how u handle it.

Bill, the simple answer is no used blade storage but here is what worked for me. I use a small plastic bottle? That came from a supermarket spice jar and for a while another small jar. That worked safely for me. Then a friend gave me a little white container he bought online with a slot, works great And will store used blades for a year? Hope this helps

Yes, I did and it did not work and I try it on discharge and it did not cut that good . I finally took it out and install the old blade back and all my problems were solve.

It works perfectly for me. No problem opening the blades, you may want to oil it and work the blade a few times.I always buy Schrade. They have not let me down.

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.

Reviews say that the 3 blade is better, which is why I ordered it. Amz says they will replace the 2 blade they sent me & swap it out w/the 3 blade. I don't know much else, I suspect the more expensive 3 blade will be more powerful, I should know more soon.

It is a high carbon blade, so it will require some maintainence but nothing too extreme. Just keep it dry when not in use.

I also don't know. I read once that the replacement blades are under a different maker, I just don't remember. Sorry

I love those knives and keep them even when they break, wether because I dropped them or use them much for any reason cause I can use them for spare parts... if you didn't lose the part you can fix it youself. I often call these people to report fails too, hopefully they'll improve it... it's a great knive... not perfect though.
