To maintain the effectiveness of your electric shaver, it is important that your home maintenance program include the proper maintenance for your electric razor.

 Maintenance Task:  Replace blades

Replacement heads (blades) can be purchased from specialty stores in many shopping malls, or from some manufacturers.  If you don't have the instructions on how to replace your shaver's heads (blades), a store clerk or the manufacturer's website may be of assistance.  When replacing the head (blades), inspect the comb or foil (which houses the blades) for any dents or nicks which can dull the blades; replace as necessary.  Also use the shaver brush to clean the cutting area before replacing the head (blades).

Dull blades are less effective and tend to "pull" rather than cut.
