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.

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

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.

What an improvement this sort of crap makes to rec.boats, eh?

You gave a 15 year old shaver to your brother?
Gross...... buy the man a new one...you can easily afford it on that
military pension.
