How often should I change the blade on my razor?

Asked a year ago
We recommend changing the blade on your razor every 5-10 shaves, or whenever you start noticing any discomfort or a decline in performance. The frequency may vary depending on several factors, such as the coarseness of your hair, shaving technique, and personal preference. Dull blades can cause irritation, nicks, or an uneven shave. To maximize your shaving experience and maintain optimal performance, regularly inspect the blade for signs of wear and tear, such as dullness or rust. Our Gillette razor blades are designed to provide a close and comfortable shave, ensuring you always look and feel your best. Remember to keep spare blades on hand, so you're always equipped for a smooth and effortless shaving experience.
