Doe's anyone know if it's possible to sharpen rotary shaver cutters ie philips

Thanks Roy

I solved that problem about 40 years ago - I grew a beard!

At , say 5min shaving time per day, I reckon that it has saved me around 50days of my life standing in front of a mirror. ( If only I had used that time profitably!)

John ( bogstandard2 ) Thanks very much They are titanium so it took more than a few strokes but it worked

The Phillips type are designed to stay sharp by rubbing on the underside of the foils ( and self sharoening according to the Phillips rep) so always take them off one at a time, clean and replace in the original foil. They last a damn sight longer that way !

Just about to start growing a moustache for "Movember" charity drive for Macmillan

Do the cutters and heads only need to be kept as matched pairs after they are put into use?

Until they are used, aren't the cutters all the same and the heads all the same?

In September? That's cheating!

yes until you "wear them in" the unopened ones are fine. Once you start to sue keep them paired up. It's still ofter cheaper to buy a new razor on offer than get the spares ( currently about £36 for a set of 3 !)
