Shaver Hints

Welcome to the SHAVER HINTS and SHAVER SPARES LINKS page.

SHAVERS: These can be surprisingly expensive to replace these days, especially the ones with fancy features, like a cleaning station. If yours is a well-known make, like BRAUN or PHILIPS, then you should be OK for some spares, such as foils, cutter blades and rotary blades, for around £10 (try OLYMPIC SHAVER CENTRE). If yours is a mains/battery (re-chargable), and the battery will not hold its charge for long, then you MIGHT be able to get it fixed if the battery is based on one or more of the standard sized (AA) solder-tagged NiCad batteries. MAPLIN sell a NiCad AA tagged battery (VN39N, at £2.49), and a longer lasting NiMH one (VN19V) for £3.99. They sell higher capacity tagged ones too, if yours needs a C size.You will find the biggest problem is getting the shaver apart (very small Philips screws), and there may be some plastic “latches” to defeat. Use a piece of double-sided tape to hold the new battery firmly on to the circuit board, so that it does not detatch if dropped, then solder in place. For more specialised battery requirements, try this site link below (NOTE:although these are Philips shaver spares, some of the batteries will fit other makes too, but check the size of the originals): http://www.abtecparts.co.uk/ukPhilishave_%20batteries.htm
