melsnet Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Needs 3 replacement rotating heads for my Phillips Phillishave electric razor. Can anyone tell me if they are available in Pattaya and if so where? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4.real Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Central dept store on Beach Rd has some razor spares upstairs. Robinsons at Sr Racha also stocks spare foils etc. I am still looking for spare foils for my series 5 braun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyride Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 You'll be lucky. I took mine to Ahorn (????) in the basement ot Tukcom who swore they could replace a lost blade. four weeks later the shaver was still gathering dust on the shelves. they'd accepted the repair rather than say 'NO' outright - TIT To be fair you don't see a lot of electric shavers in Thailand.

paulchiangmai Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Braun shaver parts are available from importer/distributor Diethelm on Sukhumvit Rd. Bangkok very close to Bang Chak Skytrain station. If you go there the sign outside used to say "Diethelm" but is now DKSH. Telephone 027908135. Very helpful people who speak English also. If the price of new heads is the same here as it is in Australia then it will be cheaper to throw the thing away and get a new one, I see three head Philishaves here in Chiang Mai for 2,700 Baht. Incidentally I have just thrown three Philishaves in the bin this past week as they were blunt, I can not get more than six months decent cutting from one.

nitnoymoy Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) Just bought a Philips hq6990rechargable shaver for myself by bidding off ebay .co.uk I won it for $21 us dollars about £13.50 including free postage to my house pattaya posted from china Edited December 8, 2012 by nitnoymoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is just me but can you explain how you get a shaver off a UK Ebay site but pay in $US and it is shipped free from China? That particular model (ie genuine new from Philips) retails in UK for normally over £50 although appears to be over 4 years old. You have bought a new one havent you......... Philips shavers here in China are normally more expensive than in the UK. I imagine that price would hardly cover the postage?

You know you are supposed to clean them regularly........ I find that I have to work a lot harder to get a close shave in Pattaya then I do even here in Guangzhou - and that is using the same shaver. The heads were/are supposed to be self sharpening but if you mix up the blades and cover when you clean them it takes a while for them self sharpen again - or so I was taught a long time ago.

uwe_rayong Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Cheap Philips shaver from China on ebay.co.uk The prices from China almost to good to be true... Maybe because of discontinued models or copys? Anyone ordered one of this shavers from China before? I've ordered a new Oral B Pulsonice toothbrush from Korea this year off ebay. Was also a lot cheaper then in Pattaya Central Beach store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can leave bid on a lot of stuff too.The prices are not fixed either,you will see the same item probably the following week up or down by 50% or so As far as I'm concerned it is genuine stuff,never been let down Edited December 9, 2012 by pinfold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinfold Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Impossible to get decent shave in the tropics using electric shaver. The oil on the skin through perspiration makes the cutters skim over the hair. Can use rubbing alcohol bought through pharmacies use as pre electric shave,it evaporates instantly leaving skin dry. The singer machine oil sold through many outlets is thin oil that a few drops on cutters lubricate them ,after 2 or 3 shaves it dissipates,enough for smooth shave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
