Having been told about foil razors here http://www.customerssuck.com/board/s...ad.php?t=24356 here is the tale about rotary units.
Rotary shavers are quite delicate in their mechanism, you have a cutter than sits in the head and you can have up to three in an arrangement. The cutters, as previously mentioned, rotate to cut the hair when it gets caught in the slots/holes. Once the hair is cut it generally falls into the shaver and eventually finds its way into a litte holding chamber.
Eventually
This means there is the opportunity for some hair to become lost and stay in the cutter assuming of course that the unit gets emptied occasionally. If it doesn't then the following happens.
Hair falls into razor, falls through rotary system into collection chamber. Chamber becomes full. Hair ends up in rotary system.
This is where the 'fun' starts you see the rotary system is driven by a plastic driveshaft, not metal, plastic. This is to save both weight and money. However is sufficient hair is present eventually it compacts.
Let me tell you how had hair can be. Its the filling in cricket gloves.
Eventually you end up with a solid mass of hair in both the chamber and the cutter system. This causes all the teeth to shear off the driveshaft causing major damage.
Approximately 10% of all returns of rotary shavers I had had this type of damage, yet management would not let me refuse the refund, tell me if you had spent this much http://www.customerssuck.com/board/s...ad.php?t=24356 on a razor wouldn't you at least clean it out? (washable wasn't an option when I was selling them) Where did people think their hair went, or did they think the shaver was a minature tardis?
The mind still boggles.
