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.
Got some cheap replacements from Fry’s and soldered them in. Works like a champ!
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!

All of the little whiskers grossed me out when James used to empty his. He uses a razor now and I’m glad!
For goodness sake. Just get a new razor!
What can I say, I’m too cheap!
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!!!
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.
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, 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.
