5.0 out of 5 stars Pricey but worth it, January 8, 2005

By	L. A. Kane (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

The manufacturer recommends replacing the foil screen and cutter block every 18 months for maximum performance. I wholeheartedly agree. This cutting system seems to last a little longer than older models but it certainly doesn't last forever. While it might not be exactly at 18 months, you can readily tell that the blades are getting dull when it takes longer to shave and/or you begin experiencing skin irritation. The set is pretty expensive but Amazon.com seems to have a very competitive price (a lot cheaper than I've seen in any brick & mortar store). Having said that, it really is like getting a brand new razor each time you make the change so it's very worthwhile doing it. Not sure if you can even buy them separately, but changing both parts at the same time ensures a closer shave with less skin irritation because they work together as an integrated system.

5.0 out of 5 stars New blade = better shave, October 14, 2005

What else can I tell you? Remember how great a shave you got when you bought it? Get a new foil+cutterblock and you can get it back! The manufacturer says to replace them after 18 months but I found 12-14 months to be more accurate - and I don't shave weekends either!!!

Not matter how often you replace them (within reason), it's still cheaper than disposable razors.
