It depends on peoples beards .people beards grow differently some can be curly or flat or grows in all sorts of directions .so some people will benefit better with a rotary shaver while others will benefit better with a foil shaver .the bruan series 9 pro cuts great for me very close .the arch 6 is like a proglide blade when used wet but still cuts very good dry .so it depends on your beard I don’t think rotary blades would be great for me since bruan works wonders I haven’t tried a rotary shaver but normally if a foil shaver ain’t good for someone a rotary shaver works wonders for them I seen people saying rotatory savers don’t work for them it useless and I have seen people saying foil shavers is useless on them so as I said it all depends on the way your beard grows but technically if people have the beard for a foil shaver foil will defeat rotary blades

😯Cleaning the individual heads like that ruins the sharpening of the heads because you're shaking it against the glass.. Also, grease is a good thing.. You don't want to get rid of it with vinegar.

Thank you for the video. Pls do give some info as to how one should lubricate the blades of time permits. How often and with what brands of oil? I have a Braun 9290 shaver and they say to add a few drops of the Braun shaver oil before putting it in the clean and charge station if the shaver is often used with water instead of dry shaving. I use Wahl Clipper oil and do this once a week before I put it in the clean and charge station which also lubricates while cleaning.

Used this trick today to deep clean my shaver. It looks completely brand new. Looking forward to trying it out tomorrow. Edit: I actually changed the battery, used vinegar to degrease the heads, then resharpened them with toothpaste. It cost about £11 for the new battery and few hours to dismantle, clean and sharpen the blades, but the results are excellent. It's like a new shaver.
@martinscopes39146 ай бұрын
I watched this video and said to my self that’s not good shaking your blades in a jar because they will hit the glass and it probably would hit the sharp part of the blade. Like the other review use a soft tooth brush and when cleaning brush the same way the blade go and not the other way because the brush will get cut and it will blunt the blade. If any one wants to sharpen there blades grab a piece of glass or small mirror put silicone metal polish on the mirror the turn the blades against the sharp edge just turn it round and round don’t press to hard your see the polish change colour do it for about two minutes then do the other two you’re know when they are sharp. This doesn’t need to be done a lot may be once a year or so.

It is important to keep the blades and heads matched hence I would suggest doing them one at a time. Foil shavers need to be oiled, there is nothing in the manuals for these that says to oil them. oil can trap the hairs and clog up the blades so i think best to keep them clean.
