Question

How do I know when its time to change my razor?

Answer 1

When its dull and stops cutting the hairs on your legs. Or if you have one of those cheap disposable razors they only last like 4 times and then they start to rust.

Answer 2

ur suppose to to throw it away after the 3rd use that what i do

Answer 3

1] for best shave, and less nicks, change blade or razor every three-four shaves

2] never share razors with anyone - even a spouse! [ staph infections ]

3] shave at end of shower [ or after 15 min in bath ] - pores open, and hair is softer

4] use a shave gel - extra protection, or sensitive skin. NOT soap or lotions - cream rinse or shampoo works nicely too.

5] shave three strokes, overlapping each one - then rinse off razor. Repeat.

6] pits - shave up and down for best results

7] legs - shave from above ankles to knees; then above knees to groin;

then straighten leg to shave kneecaps, then point toes up towards knees to shave achilles tendon [ behind ankle ] to avoid nicks.

Answer 4

When it's rusty or flat.

Answer 5

You are supposed to change it every 3 uses.  To prevent ingrowns in the bikini line, you are supposed to use a fresh razor every time.  They are expensive though, I know.  But 3 is the standard according to women's magazines.

Answer 6

after 10 uses

Answer 7

Every week is good.

I do it every sunday.

Answer 8

wen it look nasty and u still have hair after shaving

Answer 9

well when it's rusty and giving you septic infections in your shaving cuts its probably a little too late...

try just changing it every 5 uses, or every 2 weeks, depending on how much you shave.

Answer 10

when it starts to be a ltittle less easy and it might start to hurt. every 1 and 1/2 weeks should be good if its a good quality razor. and those are probably the only ones that will do a great job anyways. also if you see any rust on it no matter how long you've been using it...THROW IT AWAY! plus the more often you change it, the fewer razor bumps you'll get.

Answer 11

when its rusty

Answer 12

you should probably change it after 10-12 uses or if it was a bad razor to begin with, when you still have hair after shaving.

Answer 13

That really depends on the razor's quality and how many blades it has.  The more blades, the longer it lasts.

I throw mine away when they start to drag on my skin rather than glide or when I have to go over the same spot several times to get rid of all the hair.

Answer 14

lol when it doesn't work good anymore
