How often should you replace your shaver to prevent hidden bacteria? i use intuition, i have really sensitive skin. and i love it. thanks dr.

Intuition is fine: The frequency with which you change a razor really depends upon how dull it is getting with repetitive use. Organisms on its surface are less likely to produce infection than the organisms on the surface of the skin.
