    Default My razor stopped working,WTF??

    So I bought a new Shick a few weeks ago...up til today it was the best razor I'd ever had. Its manual,not electric.

    Today I go to shave and ..nothing. I cant feel the blades on my skin,no hair is touched..its as if I still had the cover on it. I've never had a razor do this before...its the oddest thing.

    May seem silly of me to say but have you changed the blade yet?

    This happened to me once when my ex knocked the razor off the edge of the tub and the blade popped off; when he replaced it, he put it on upside down. Is the blade on right?

    The blade is on and right side up. I have very thin fine hair so razors usually last me awhile and I just got this one a few weeks ago.Its just odd

    I'd say it's time to change. Maybe their just not great long lasting quality.

    The blades arent dull..they are new. Hubby owned up to knocking it down in the shower this morning and having to pop the blade back on..so he prob put it on upside down.

    Blades only last about 10 uses or so before they lose their edge. I actually just posted about cryogenically treated blades in the Infinity razor thread, but I'll repeat the advice here. I get 'em from greatrazors.com and they're a good deal, and the blades last 3x longer than regular blades. Totally worth the money.

    Which reminds me, I need a refill.

    Did they just come out with a "new' blade? I find that I'll get a hold of something that works well, then they'll come out with a new, fancier, more expensive blade, and suddenly the one that worked so well doesn't work so well anymore. I think they dip the quality of the old blades to get you to buy the new ones. Has happened several times to me so far.

    You might want to consider changing blades more often anyway because they are a breading ground for bacteria that can cause all kinds of skin irritation.
