I just got a free one from the hot deals forum and see the replacement blades are not exactly cheap....how often do you guys change them out?

Not very often.

I'm getting a new razor though, the Mach3 tears my face up. Did the same for my boss.

When I shaved I would change the blades every 2-3 weeks, depending on if I chose to shave every day or not ;) If I tried to shave with one of those now I'd probably need several blades just to shave once :p

They last a good long time, I don't have one anymore, I moved to the Quatro (nice and smooth) but when I used it I only changed them once every 2 months or so, and I shave every day.

I only shave once or twice a week, and I've been using the same Mach3 Turbo blade for half a year I think...

the moisturizer strip has worn out, but every shave is still nice and clean w/out any cuts at all

I always know its time to change to a new razor when my 5 o'clock shadow looks more noticable. Shaving with a new razor keeps me baby smooth and postpones the shadow till the next morning. Usually I try to change the razor before it gets too dull or else it pulls and irritates my skin instead of shaving smoothly.

It depends on how picky you are about a sharp blade. I've used a blade for upwards of about 2 months and a half, but I can feel a noticible difference in the sharpness after about 2 weeks. I usually chage it every month though.

I usually get about two months out of one blade with shaving every day. I've got enough blades to last me a couple years.

I shave every other day and I replace once every couple of months.
I heard a commercial saying you should replace a mach 3 blade weekly. LOL.
