I done it! Have 2 700 series corded Norelco triple heads. Unwilling to
fork over 25+ bux for new heads, I cleaned them, and then sharpened
the blades by rotating them in reverse direction with medium pressure
against some wetted 4000 grit paper on a flat surface. Worked like a
charm. They cut like brand new.

Very interesting, I'm going to give it a shot. I just can't ever
remember which model I have when I see the heads for sale.


Here's where I got my last set:

I don't use my Norelco a whole lot, I prefer a razor, which by the
way, if you do too, try the Gillette Fusion. Costly for cartridges,
but man that thing will give you a barber shop like shave!


Like you, I prefer a razor. But, unlike you I am basically too lazy to mess
with it. With the Norelco, I can shave while getting the coffee going,
getting dressed, letting the dog out, etc., and not worry about waking up
