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.


Yes, but the cages wear out, too. And when they wear out, it jams
the blade and strips the gears in the head, wrecking the razor. Now
that the razor is trash, the savings evaporate. DAMHIKT.

Don't step over a dollar to pick up a penny. At least buy new heads
every other time - it might work once, but not forever.


Please define "every other time", Bruce.
