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.

I leave the shaver at home when I go fishing. *Wish the Chinese would knock
off Norelco, probably could improve it too.
They've knocked it off. WalMart sells a knock off for about $35. My last
Norelco lasted me more than 15 years, although the battery doesn't give as
many shaves as it used to. My kids bought me a new one for my birthday, so
I gave the old one to a brother. He'd never used an electric razor, and
couldn't believe how close it shaved.
Before I grew a beard, I shaved with a straight razor for more than
twenty years.. Cost me maybe a buck a year for soap. Had a J A Henkles
razor.

here is a great straight razor set that will make sure you have a sharp
blade for every day of the week. *Great for when you are traveling.

You can save a bundle by not buying replaceable blades.- Hide quoted text -

With a little math, and even with my more costly Fusion blades, it'll
take about 15 years to get a return on my money, and that's without
factoring in interest.


did you notice I was almost choking with my tongue in my cheek?


Doubt it.
