Thanks

Hi Alex,

You are absolutely right. However, on the flip-side it might not actually be just the usage time that is the issue for a lot of people. If you don’t clean and oil the cutting blade after use, or you put the trimmer away wet, this can all lead to a dulling of the cutting edge – which can over time build up?

Thanks. The reason I ask is because Panasonic recommends changing the blades after 3 years on this nose an ear hair trimmer and their beard trimmers. But they don’t mention usage time. This is a very low lifespan. If you would use this nose and ear hair trimmer 4 times a month(once a week) for 5 minute max on the ear and nose hairs( even 5 minutes is long for both ear and nose) that would be 20 minutes a month(5 minutes a trimming session*4 times a month). Per year that would be 240 minutes(20 minutes a month * 12 months). 240 minutes is 4 hours. So 4 hours a year. In 3 years that would be 12 hours(or 720 minutes). A very short lifespan for an ear and nose hair trimmer.

Hi Alex,

I have been using mine for a few years and it is still cutting effectively. I guess I use it a few times a month…The volume of hairs it actually cuts is very low, and the frequency of use is also very low, so I can see it lasting a few more years at least!

Thanks. How long do you estimate that the Panasonic ER GN30 K will trim effectively until you would need to replace the blade?
