To Keep Your Skin Clear and Beautiful, A Replacement Blade is a Must-have
We surveyed our customers to compare a 3-year-old blade with a new one.
“I repeated the same motion to shave my beard with an old blade, but the replacement blade allowed me to clean it with just one stroke. I felt the sharpness and the close shave; it will be less time-consuming. I doubted whether it was necessary since I couldn't see how dull the blade was, but now I want to use a replacement blade regularly.”
The difference is clear.

Using unhygienic or worn-out blades can cause skin problems, such as bacteria getting into your pores. To ensure that the blade you use is skin-friendly, clean the blade every time you use your shaver and use a replacement blade regularly.

Even a high-quality shaver whose blade should be gentle on the skin can be compromised by using an old blade. A nicked blade can even damage your skin because it does not shave your beard smoothly. Use a replacement blade regularly to ensure the desired performance of your shaver.
