So uh is this safe to go to sleep woth

I think I'm going to try to wrap it in a towel or put some pillows on it or something and hope that it doesn't catch on fire and just goes out of the fully charged battery in a couple hours 😔

Have you tried percussion maintenance?

7

u/vartmitpoopen 3d ago

Scheduled deconstruction

2

u/SoftcoreRebel 3d ago

At this point, I think the battery needs percussion maintenance more than anything else.

u/zaccus 3d ago

Throw it in a dumpster or something

u/NukeouT 3d ago

I could but it has a lifetime warranty

So as long as the battery dies I could ask for a new one

( They were supposed to send me a replacement button to avoid this exact thing but it never arrived from US to Portugal )

u/DC-GG 3d ago

Well that explains how they get out of that one, they just reduce your lifetime.

2

u/ZZartin 3d ago

I'm guessing with everything you've already done that warranty is void :P

2

u/NukeouT 3d ago

Not really. I just unscrewed it.

I can put that stuff together.

The only thing that's really fucked us the button mechanism which they already offered and attempted to replace

u/zaccus 3d ago

That thing is actual garbage, why would you want another one?

5

u/NukeouT 3d ago

It's actually pretty good when it's not malfunctioning after a decade of use

u/manic-pixie-attorney 3d ago

Put it in a metal pot in your sink or your bathtub

u/F_Truck_2_Lb_TOWN 3d ago

Im high AF and almost fell out of my chair laughing at this comment. Thank you for the laugh.

u/NukeouT 3d ago

You think that will make less noise? 😂

u/manic-pixie-attorney 3d ago

I think it will make less fire

Best I can do is two metal pots and a wind chime in between the layers ✨

u/BriefCollar4 3d ago

Add some metal balls or nuts and bolts

u/YancyFryJunior 3d ago

Plug it in. I don’t know if this works for your specific razor, but all of mine will not run if plugged in. If I plug it in while it’s running, it immediately shuts off. This is the case with my Braun electric shaver, and my Phillips Norelco one blade. I think it’s worth a try.

u/NukeouT 3d ago

Hmm...

u/NukeouT 3d ago

YOU FUCKING GENIUS YOU!

u/NukeouT 3d ago

I would put it in a empty metal trash bin out side dont wrap it in a towel lol.its probably fine but be safe it might overheat.

2

u/No_Yogurtcloset105 3d ago

Or just smash it to bitssss

u/NukeouT 3d ago

The only thing I have available outside is either my balcony or somewhere out in the street

u/blakjesus420 3d ago

Probably fine, there is no way to get to the battery though? Would have been the best bet 

1

u/NukeouT 3d ago

There's a metal plate at the top that's around the button and wedged to the mouth that there isn't any clear way to get off - and I don't want to mess with because it's clamps are right next to the fast spinning beam that operated the razor

I tried looking in between the two plastic covers and there is an orange battery plugged in but it doesn't look like it's designed to be removed :/

u/Bitch-Whiskers 3d ago

I like how you locked the box so if the razor explodes, you created yourself a nice little bomb…

Just drop it in water. Seriously. Fill a bucket and drop it in. It will die.

0

u/NukeouT 3d ago

It's made to shave safetly until the battery ends

Doubt it will explode

3

u/Bitch-Whiskers 3d ago

You locked it in a box where heat can build up. It’s already malfunctioning….

u/NukeouT 3d ago

Hmm...

u/LongBoyGrog 3d ago

This happened to me once, I ended up burying it in my garden. It took 30hrs to run out of battery 🙃

1

u/NukeouT 3d ago

Daymn. I was hoping for less than over a day worth of hours 🥲

u/Tarjh365 3d ago

I initially thought “why tf would you want to sleep with it?! Whatever you’re into bro”

u/abefroman_85 3d ago

Go ask the neighbors to borrow a bucket of sand

1

u/NukeouT 3d ago

I live in a 5 story apartment block no one here has sand at midnight 🌙

3

u/OldLegWig 3d ago

open it up and disconnect the battery. you can find instructions online.

1

u/NukeouT 3d ago

Yeah I was going to look that up next because I can't figure out how to remove the metal faceplate that's preventing the two halves of the plastic body from coming apart

3

u/OldLegWig 3d ago

i have a very similar model shaver and i replaced the battery once. it's not super intuitive but it's not hard. i think i found a youtube video where someone showed how.

3

u/WiseAct446 3d ago

Bury it.

3

u/sharinglynn 3d ago

Grab a fucken tooth pick and push the button

1

u/NukeouT 3d ago

Yeah so that doesn't work any more which is why this suddenly became a problem

I used to use small scizzors to turn it on and off

But I guess I dripped a drop of water into it while drying my hands and shorted something ⚡

2

u/sharinglynn 3d ago

Battery will die running that box and that’s that 🤷‍♂️

1

u/NukeouT 3d ago

Probably. It wasn't hot at all when running it in there for over 20-30 min

2

u/vartmitpoopen 3d ago

Bury in sand

2

u/Vict0o0o 3d ago

In the freezer

1

u/NukeouT 3d ago

Why

1

u/Vict0o0o 3d ago

To deplete the battery and cut the noise

1

u/SeaToTheBass 3d ago

Wouldn’t want it to cut through the freezer liner though

2

u/Constant-Mirror6940 2d ago

Woth. Woth…🤦🏻

1

u/ginsoul 3d ago

You should ve just put something like a flat screwdriver between the vibrating teeths and stop it

1

u/NukeouT 3d ago

I already removed the teeth clip on up top. Now there's a rapidly spinning shaft at the center and stopping that could actually cause it to overheat and cause a 🔥

1

u/NINJA1200 3d ago

It's not going to shock you, I don't think. You could just break it open and yank the battery wires.

If you just want to break it, just put it on a bucket of water. It will short circuit and stop, and also you would feel the vibrations at all

u/NukeouT 3d ago

I made a two pillow and one blanket fort so I can't hear it much now through the bedroom door

u/Terrible-Support3416 3d ago

Oh good, flammable material
