When and how to change the blades of your Braun or Philips shaver
If you notice that your shaver no longer shaves as closely as before or starts to cause irritation, it is very likely that its blades need changing. Both Braun and Philips recommend replacing blades regularly to maintain optimal performance. At Electrotodo, we offer original spare parts so that your shaver works like new.
Braun shavers: maintenance for German precision shavers
Braun shavers are known for their foil technology, which allows for a precise and even shave. However, over time, these foils and blades wear out, affecting the quality of the shave.
When to change the blades of your Braun shaver?
- Every 12 to 18 months, depending on frequency of use.
- If you feel you have to go over the same area multiple times.
- If you notice irritation or pulling when shaving.
- When the foil breaks and the blade "nips" you while shaving.
Tips for keeping your Braun shaver in perfect condition
- Clean the blades after each use to prevent hair buildup.
- Use special lubricant to reduce foil wear.
- If your machine uses an automatic cleaning system, periodically purchase the Braun cleaning liquid.
- Replace the entire head when you notice a loss of effectiveness.
- Always buy original spare parts to ensure compatibility and performance.
Tips for keeping your Braun shaver in perfect condition
There are times when you notice that your Braun shaver blades "wear out prematurely." You might have a very coarse beard, so sometimes this can happen. Consider buying a higher-end Braun shaver: TRUE, they are expensive, but it will be your face that appreciates it the most. Let's be honest: If you're older, your beard is getting coarser: it's no longer for cheap shavers. It's a shame, but it's true.
Philips shavers: rotary technology (which also wears out, by the way)
Philips shavers use a rotary blade system, designed to follow the contours of the face. This system offers a close and smooth shave, but over time, the blades can lose their sharpness.
How to know if your Philips blades need changing?
- If you feel that the shaver is dragging more than usual. You'll notice it's harder to move and sometimes nips you. If this has happened to you, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
- If there are unshaven areas after one pass. It will get worse.
- If you notice increased friction on the skin.
- If the shaver makes more noise than usual or a blade has started to spin "out of sync."
How to extend the life of Philips blades
- Wash the heads with warm water after each use. Some Philips machines have their own device with cleaning liquid.
- Apply a little lubricating oil to the blades every week.
- Replace the blades every 12 months for optimal performance.
- Only use original Philips spare parts to avoid compatibility issues.
