I have this old electric razor that was long dead…
It wouldn’t hold a charge, so the rechargeable batteries were shot. I opened it up and luckily the thing used the standard “AA” size.

razor w/ new batteries
Got some cheap replacements from Fry’s and soldered them in. Works like a champ!

old batteries
It’s frightening how these razors collect so much hair over the years. I used a shop vac to suck out most of the micro follicles. Ewwwww!

You are a regular Mr. Fix-it! I need to get a soldering iron…got some projects I want to do that will require a good one.
For goodness sake. Just get a new razor!
What can I say, I’m too cheap!
All of the little whiskers grossed me out when James used to empty his. He uses a razor now and I’m glad!
i think its great.
why buy a new razor when you have the skills to repair a perfectly good one?
not to get all ecological and everything (well, ok, maybe just a little), but at least this razor is not filling a dump somewhere…
Rob, I like your new colors here. It looks really good. I am hiding at the computer because James is trying to plumb the new bathroom and I’m hearing a lot of frustrated noises coming from in there. Thought I’d stop and visit your site. Guess I’ll go check on him now!!!
I HATE PLUMBING!!!!
Rob, was one of the questions on the eHarmany survey, “What would you do if your electric razor quit working?”
A. Purchase a new one
B. Switch to disposable Bic razor
C. Grow a beard
D. Replace the batteries
E. Tear it apart, take pictures, and post on your blog about it.
You my friend are perfect the way your are.
Ahh, shucks, Mary.
You’ve boosted my fragile ego tonight. The timing was just right too, as I burn the (near-)midnight oil, toiling for the Man. But it’s worth it. Next week will be a short one. I can’t wait to see you folks too (”y’all” as the locals are wont to say).
Cheers!
