Norelco Rotary Shaver Sharpening
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. JR HOME PAGE: http://www.seanet.com/~jasonrnorth -------------------------------------------------- |

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 Mrs H. -- John H. |

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 don't need all the fancy cleaners and such, but those just seem to be the only ones that can give me a shave close enough to satisfy Mrs, JW and she is the judge.. Really, next time you are out looking, try one. They are very hard to find in traditional brick and mortar retail though, the last one I had to buy on line, but it's well worth it.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Which one? http://www.101shavers.com/landing/ca...tml?cid=3....- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Mine is an 8078 8 but it looks like this is the same thing, pretty much... http://www.101shavers.com/related/10...s-ES8077S.html mine is actually he http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-ES80.../dp/B00153UPKG But again, they both seem to have the same head. |
