Title: Me Braun shaver
Post by: GROWLER on September 24, 2007, 12:19:13 PM
Had it for seven years, and it's been great. Got a re-chargeable battery in it so I can have a dump and a shave at the same time. Been a great time saver over the years.  happy088

Sadly, the batterys' charge isn't holding as much any more, which is to be expected I suppose, so I trolled off to Boots to see about a replacement.

"Sorry, it's a sealed unit so you can't replace the battery.
You could try contacting Braun to see if you can get a replacement shaver under warranty".

Yea right. ::)
It's  SEVEN years old ffs. surrender:

It's sadly destined for 'The Box' in the loft.  sad32:

Buy a blowlamp. Quick and cheap. Also special blowlamp shaving mask.

Alternatively, grow a beard.

Have a quick surf before going to casualty with a screwdriver through your hand.

I can't be bothered to look it up, but there are people who "Re-Cell" rechargeable gizmos of all kinds, for a fraction of the price.

Worth a look.

If you are going to try and open it yourself, put the camcorder on first.

The '"You've been Framed" payout should more than cover a new shaver.
