How long does the blade last?

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.

3 shaves on average however be aware this razor lasts about a year before the chrome platting falls off. The company does not cover that on the warranty.

I shave everyday and usually flip the blade halfway through the week. Most of them will last a week or a little more. Every blade is different as is everyone's shaving demands. However the blades are far cheaper so theres the pay off.

The blade I received seemed sharp, I have been using it over a year. I had the original blade sharpened for $6 and can put it on when the replacement blade gets nicked up.

My wife can use hers about 5 times before it starts to lose it's edge. I would assume it depends on what blades you use and how thick the hair is that is being shaved. I like to use a razor that is a bit more aggressive when I shave my face but mine only last about three or four shaves. it doesn't really matter to me though since you can buy a couple months worth of blades for as much as a cup of coffee at starbucks.

If you keep the blade wet, it should do the entire job. I started with a spray bottle of water, gave the blade frequent shots, then trickled more into the cut behind the blade. As long as the blade is continuously lubricated and cooled with water, it will last a long time.

Never have tried it.....the makita blade lasted a long time...I abused it and it kept on going...100s of cuts...

If your blade is dull, any oscillating tool will fail to cut. Make sure that's not the problem. I also bought a Dremel MultiMax first. It lasted about six hours. I have only used the Rockwell for 1-2 hours, but it does seem to cut better than the Dremel ever did.

Mine is over 2 years now and still the one kitchen tool I would not ever give up. Actually, I had their 2-handle version before I bought this one; the 2 handled one lasted over 9 years. I only replaced it because the one handle was really fantastic.

I started using one in October 2014. It's February 2016, and I'm getting ready to switch to the second one. Like any razor, these will be super smooth at first, then go through a break-in period after a week or so. If you can put up with being careful with it for a couple of weeks, it becomes smooth again. More pressure required than a new blade, but you won't cut yourself like when it was three weeks old. I generally get 12 to 24 months out of one. Saves lots of money.

Hello,We purchased this item about 4 months ago, Just used it three time and love it.Just make sure you wash the salt water off and dry the blade before storage it will last for a long time.

Replacement blades are inexpensive for a mach 3? I had one, and I'd probably go through a blade every 10-14 days... at that rate, you're better off buying a new blade/foil kit for this razor 9-12 months or so.

If youre only grooming one dog or your own dog it will last a forever, oil the blade and take it to get sharpened when It gets dull cost like 5$. But if ur a groomer doing mass amounts of dogs it can last maybe 1 or 2 years. This is if ur purchasing a good quality blade as well

I can't say how long the blade lasts for sure but it does have a 10 year warranty so if it breaks before 10 years, just call the company. My sharpener lasted a little over 3 years in an elementary classroom that sharpened more than 20 pencils a day. (I do not allow the children to use the sharpener and do not sharpen colored pencils with this sharpener.) When the sharpener quit, I called the company and had a new sharpener in a week. Highly recommend this sharpener and company!

Hi, I have been using mine for the last 4 months on a weekly basis. The blade shows some wear, but is still doing fine. I have not had to adjust it downward yet due to it getting smaller. I did buy a replacement blade to have on hand, but at this rate it may be awhile before I need it. Has been a very good tool to date. Hope this is helpful.

Hi, Mine is at least 3 years old. The handle is perfect and the blade is as sharp as when it was new. I never leave it outside. I always sleeve it inside the pouch and bring it inside the garage. It's a great tool. JLM

Although I have not timed it, I used the cutter for one half hour or so and and I actually began tiring out. Then, I pressed a button on the battery pack and it indicated that only half of the initial charge had been used. For me, it lasts plenty long enough.

I haven't timed it but it holds a charge for at least 2 hours of constant trimming I use it to cut my whole front & back yard grass & trim the edges twice before recharging hope that helps :)
