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. ![]() --- sam | Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/ Repair | Main Table of Contents: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/ +Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/lasersam.htm | Mirror Sites: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_mirror.html Important: Anything sent to the email address in the message header above is ignored unless my full name AND either lasers or electronics is included in the subject line.

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. Michael |

The first one died from dropping it on the floor repeatedly. The housing came apart. |

I had previously been under the impression that they self-sharpened. I went through a set of heads about every three years, where the grill wore till it cracked. No matter how I cleaned them, they didn't last. Of course I had a VERY tough beard back then. I couldn't get through a single shave on one double edged blade. I had to shave three times a day while I was in the US Army, and went through four or five blades most days. Man, was I ever glad to get out of basic training! -- Service to my country?

years afterwards.Nowadays I let my beard grow for a few months and then I bush hog it with my electric hair clippers.No more razor burn for me! cuhulin |

There were tiny bits of plastic and metal found all over the control room of that 500 W TV station for months. ;-) -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it.
