How often

How often should you replace razor blades?

About every 4–8 weeks

Cartridge razors dull long before they look broken. A typical home interval is four to eight weeks, sooner if you shave daily or the blade tugs.

Why replace it

A dull blade needs more passes and nicks more easily. Fresh cartridges are the bit Subscribe & Save brands sell as a subscription — you can track them without one.

Signs it is worn out

  • The blade tugs instead of cutting
  • You need extra strokes for the same patch
  • You see rust or a bent guard
