I have an Aquatec. Bought about a year and a half ago? It no longer gives a close shave. Is that all the longer a NORELCO shaver lasts?

I've changed out the batteries. You have to buy them on line cause they are two AA sized nicads that are connected with soldered tabs and have two free tabs that must be soldered in place. That means you have to unsolder the old ones. Make sure you notice the + and - sides of the old ones so the new ones are installed the same way. The case is opened by removing 5 screws. Note how a black plastic clip on top of the motor is placed cause it will fall out. The motor has to come out with the batteries and the circuit board under the batteries. The motor is connected to the circuit board with fragil thin metal leads that can break. One of mine did and I repaired it by soldering a short piece of thin, insulated phone wire. Mine worked really well until I let it run too far down before recharging and now my red light is on, too. I did get it to recharge by dismantling partly and reassembling; may be a faulty connection cause it went back to the red light and wouldn't run until I whacked it a couple times on my hand. It now runs, but still have red light which may mean its not charging. Looking for a manual to see what the red light means. I've also had it blink with a red light several times which may be a diagnostic light indicaton. Here's a link for the batteries, but there are probably other sources http://www.interstatebatteries.com/estore/search.asp?details=1&bnd=Norelco&mscssid=6256X7VH67LW9JBSK6Q7RTJRKXCQA3N8&Ntt=norelco&N=4294600169&mdl=600RX&part_number=NIC0200&part_desc=Norelco+600RX+replacement+battery&Nu=Part+Number&Ntx=mode+matchboolean&Ns=product+Type%7C0%7C%7CRank%7C1&Ntk=SearchGroup&js=1

According to the Phillips website, it is NOT a waterproof shaver, therefore it is not advisable to use any liquids prior to or during shaving.

However, as a hairdresser and having experience with shaving men for many years, you can use the tried tested and true method of either shaving AFTER you get out of the shower so that your hairs on your face are softer from being in the moisture, or if you are not planning on having a shower, you can just use a hot face cloth on your face for a few minutes before you shave. This will soften the bristly hairs on your face and make it easier to shave.

I hope this helps. Please remember to rate my help. I would greatly appreciate it!
