comment
" ...  Shortly after I got the heads to stay in, the pinions started to slip. ... The Good: the handset is excellent, a little small for my big hands, but that has always been true. ... If your face is perfectly round and smooth, and you use gently pressure, you are good to go.  ...  "

comment
" ...  When that happens, if the top piece falls off, the heads, retainer rings, and other parts end up all over the place. ... I open the head assembly and take it all apart and re-assemble it and the problem may go way, but it sometimes comes back.  ...  "

" ...  The fix is to stop the shaver, pull the head cover off, find the orange retainer, reseat the cutter head, and snap the retainer back in place. ... I don't know why the new orange retainer rings are weaker, but they are.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It turns out that the cheap orange plastic blade retaining rings are a very poor design and don't hold up. ... I wish Norelco would issue a product recall or start making the retaining rings out of metal instead of cheap plastic. ... But a cheap piece of plastic causes problem after problem. ... At the rate I'm going I'll be spending $60/yr just replacing the plastic retaining rings.  ...  "
