[Electronics-Talk] Electric razor

[Gerald Levy]

Is that so?  I happen to have the 7310 myself, and when you pop open the 
top and remove the triangular retainer plate to clean the circular heads 
and cutters, they will most definitely fall out right into the sink and 
disappear down the drain if you're not careful and close the drain 
first.  And once you brush out the stubble from the cutters and heads, 
then you have to reinstall the heads and cutters in the hinged top and 
align the tiny grooves in the heads exactly right or else the retainer 
plate will not lock into place when you turn the knob clockwise, and the 
heads may fall out.  And sometimes, if you press too hard to reinstall 
the retainer plate, the whole top will detach from the body of the 
shaver, and then you must reinsert the hinge into the slot to reattach 
it, which is a royal pain.  The newer 3100 is an even bigger bitch to 
clean because the retainer plate is even more difficult to align 
correctly when you attempt to reinstall it.

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.
