How long does a replacement razor cartridge last

It depends on the quality of razor cartridge that you install. Better steel quality = longer lasting = higher priced. You have to ask yourself, how sharp do you really need it?

If you use it all the time, the cartridge lasts about a month. My son, whose pen it is, uses it only in emergencies for that reason.

For me, at least a year. I keep my pen in my purse attached for easy access.

Wish I had an answer for you, but I have yet to replace the cartridge. Really like this pen on my keychain, though, a convenience any number of times.

I find one site that sells cartridges (houzz.com) says "Each filter cartridge should be replaced within 45 to 60 days depending on usage. Today I talked to the UnitedStatesian distributor (not the Amazon distributor in Canada), and he says it's good for roughly 6-8 months showering 2 times a day.

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.

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.

Just back from a 10 vacation and took just the razor. Never needed a charge at all. As for the blades discussion - the razor will tell you when you need to change them. They should last about 18 months. When I returned home I put the razor in the cleaning station and it asked for an intense (long) cleaning process.

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.

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.

I've found the cartridges last significantly longer than when the printer indicates to replace them. Often a month or two depending on your printing style and volume.

The razor comes with a two-year warranty as per the manual (page 25). I found a customer service telephone number on the internet if you have any questions. The number is 800-680-3082.

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 too would like to know. How long do the rotary blades typically last on Norelco razors?

The razor itself can use either a two blade cartridge or a 3 blade cartridge. It comes with 2 ea. of the two blade cartridges and one 3 blade cartridge.

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 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.

I know this was asked in 2010, but it takes time to answer this kind of question. I've had mine since 2011. The battery is showing wear and needs to be charged more frequently than when it was new. When new, I would charge it once every month or so. Now, I'm charging it once or twice a week. Based on how often I recharge the razor in 2014, i'd expect it to last another 1-2 years before needing a full replacement. So, the guesstimated longevity of this razor could be up to 5-6 years. My use is every weekday as a dry shave, never wet. Not used on weekends. I wash the razor about once every 2 weeks and it gets oiled nearly every shave.

I have owned several Phillips razors for many years, I am 82 years young. They are very reliable razors and each one of them lasted a long time. I let the razors battery run completely down before recharging, this seems to make them last longer. I only have two concerns, one is that if the razor does eventually go dead it does not have a replaceable battery. You have to buy a new razor. The other is that to replace the cutters on the new model razor, that I purchased, you cannot buy individual cutters as was the case with earlier models, you have to buy the complete head assembly. I hunted all over my city for a replacement head and finally had to get one from the internet. They are costly. I have owned several Phillips razors for many years, I am 82 years young.

The replacement blade works well. I might have been smarter to buy a new razor for the batteries do not last as long as they did when I first bought the razor.
