How much does it cost to maintain my shaver? What's the difference between cordless & cord/cordless? How long will it take to repair my shaver? How much will it cost to repair my shaver? Can I change the rechargeable batteries myself? Why does my shaver foil wear out so quickly? How often should I change the screens and cutters?
This is most often asked, and most difficult to answer.
Changing the screen and cutter is a judgment call. For foil shavers you should change the screens every 6-9 mths. and the cutters once a year. The replacement
parts costs varies with the models. A set of Braun, Remington or Panasonic screen and cutter range in price from $30.00 to $45.00 (depending on the shaving system). Rotary head shavers require
fewer replacements and may be more economical to use. Philips rotary shaving heads will last approx. 2 years. They range in price from $35 to $50 for a set of 3. Always clean and
lubricate your shaver to make these heads last longer.
Most shavers can be repaired at a reasonable cost. Most Philips rechargeable shavers can be repaired for approx. $40.00 (battery replacement) If your shaver
needs repair at the same time that the heads need replacement, it may be better to buy a new one. Braun cordless models require a new circuit board when the batteries are defective.
Cordless shavers only work when the batteries are charged.
Our average turnaround time is 48 hours from the time we receive your shaver. Depending on the shipping method you choose, your shaver should be back in less than a week. If parts are required and are not in stock, or on backorder from the manufacturer,
this could take longer.
Whenever possible a flat rate repair charge will apply.
Changing shaver cells should be left to trained technicians only. These cells are soldered onto the circuit board, and improper or careless installation could damage your shaver beyond repair. It really isn't worth it. You'd be better off letting us do a proper job, besides, we'll clean and lubricate your shaver as well. It'll work and look like new!
If you apply too much pressure while shaving, the screen will wear out more quickly. Make sure that the cutter gets replaced yearly.
Screens are very delicate, so proper handling is most important as they can be easily damaged. Using a shaver lubricant after cleaning will reduce friction.
