Those blades are self sharpening; they never need externally sharpened.
Ever.
Sharpening service for Norelco blades? That's funny. Mine last about
30 years. They just wear down gradually but remain sharp.

Au contraire, mon ami. I have several 3-head Norelco shavers with different
versions of the blades and both have not kept them sharp with use; I have
had to use a fine flat stone to 'hone' the blades which restores them enough
for perhaps a few months of use before additional treatment is needed.

I had previously been under the impression that they self-sharpened.

I have consumed 1.5 Philips shavers in 45 years, and have
not had to sharpen them ever.
The first one died from dropping it on the floor repeatedly.
