[Electronics-Talk] Electric razor

[Gerald Levy]

No, it sounds like her hubby already has a Norelco or other rotary 
shaver.  The problem with Norelcos (I have about a dozen of them that I 
have accumulated over the years) is that once you remove the heads and 
cutters for cleaning, it is maddeningly difficult to properly reinstall 
the circular heads and align them exactly right in the round openings 
and then reattach the triangular retainer plate.  Newer models are even 
more difficult to clean than models from ten or twenty years ago, when 
Norelco made only one basic rotary shaver type.  Today, they make dozens 
of different models, and even the cheapest ones are a hassle to clean, 
and the most expensive ones are all but impossible unless you are a 
contortionist.  I have always been partial to Norelco because I used to 
work for Philips years ago and was able to purchase them cheap with the 
employee discount.  But I've become fed up with their increasing 
complexity, and so I have switched to Panasonic.  Their foil head 
shavers are very easy to clean.  You can just rinse the foil head under 
the faucet or remove it to expose the cutter blocks for more thorough 
cleaning with the included brush.  The foil head pops off with the press 
of a button and snaps right back on.  No tiny rotary heads and cutters  
to fumble with and lose like with Norelco.
