Does this shaver actually shave your legs good? Does this shaver last? I've had a Remington and only lasted for a month.

I have been using this razor for over 3 years. It is by far the best Razor I have used, better than anu of the many electric razors I have used and equal to any single or multi-blade hand shaver. The battery type last a very long time, as the batteries can last months. The blades are very long lasting also, I usually change when I feel the shave is not as close as it should be, about 3 months.

Yes, the shaver still works with the cord after the battery no longer works. That is what happened to my last Remington shaver. It wouldn't hold a charge, so I just used the cord.

I can get an average of 4 really nice shaves out of a Feather blade.. That's pretty good cause there is not a blade that last me long. Feathers give a nice smooth shave

I used Gillette disposables (not cartridges) before getting this razor and personally, there was almost no learning curve for me. First shave with it I drew no blood :) The blades you use will be harder to figure out as each blade brand works differently for different beards. You will be spending a couple/few months finding the blade that works best. Start off with large sample pack, try those, see what is available near you and try them. One brand will shave you very different from another brand, each beard is different. Make sure you have some sort of blade bank for your used blades, I use empty Alt*ids cans that I tape up when full. Make sure you are using soap and brush for lather, you will not like the shave from this razor with foam/gel. A great resource for info on wet shaving is badgerandblade dot com. Buy this razor, you will not regret it and the environment will really appreciate it.

I gotten up to 10, but then I switched to another brand of blades to try them. I think at about 10 for my beard was the limit. I've only returned to DE shaving since mid-December, and I've tried 4 different brands. The Feather and Wilkinson Sword seem best for my needs. I have friend who has been using DEs for decades, and he says he gets them to last a long time, but he did not define the length of time.

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.

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 think it may depend on how long you want it to work well--facial hair is tougher on blades than the rest of your body hair is, so you'll just dull the blade extra fast. There are plenty of shavers made for facial and head hair if that's what you're looking for, and I think they'll do a better job for you.

Ditto on the other responses..... A great razor....blades last a long time!!

I'd like to respond with authority but I have no basis to determine its effectiveness. I have an average beard an need a shave at least once a day. The Braun didn't work well for me and I would not recommend it for anyone. My old remington works the best...even better than the new Remington. So much for the newer the better.

I would say it works best on legs, but that being said it's still not quite as smooth or long lasting as shaving. It left several stubble spots on my legs that no matter how much time I spent would not go away. It also left my legs looking ashy and feeling a little raw.

Good question. My wife actually used it yesterday and said that it was better than her two shavers and also better than my Norelco's. She used it dry but you can also use it wet. She said that she recommends it. The nice thing about these shavers is that you have 30 to 60 days to try them out since it needs to get used to your skin.

The shaver will actually tell you when you need to clean it. i always clean it when it goes from 100% power to 40% power. That way, it seems to give me the best shave

Being a man, I don't shave my legs, but if shaving your facial hair is any clue, I can get 10 very good shaves and about 4 or 5 more acceptable shaves from one good news razor, I hope this helps

I purchased the "shave ready" one - and it is great - been lasting a long time. I just strop it each time. It's a great starter razor.

I can only tell you thyat I paid $200- for the one I bought and the shave it gives me is very poor. I constantly look like I last shaved 24 hours ago. They said it takes about 4 weeks to get used to the shaver but I've been using it over 2 months.
