OT Wahl razor problem

A neighbor with stronger hands?

I bough a Wahl trimmer but it's not bump-free. In fact it includes 20 free bumps.

But I haven't had occasion to try to take it apart yet. In fact I didn't know you could, or maybe this model you can't. Maybe mine is for trimming beards and yours is for shaving.

If possible - try a little pressure - in the opposite direction - on the head assembly - as you depress the release button < to ease the tension on it >

Not sure but you say button and I thought it might be buttons on both sides to just grab and squeeze.

Yes, mine's for shaving, not trimming.

This razon just has one button. Instructions say press button and the head comes off.

not sure if this is Ken's model :

Maybe using a pen or something similar would help assuming there is only the one button.

I see - press button and pull head. I have an el cheapo battery screen razor where head just pulls off.

Looks like a single protruding button on the side releases the head. Perhaps try to use the eraser end of a pencil and push on the button while shaver is on it's side on the counter.

Yep, that's it.

Didn't think of that! I'll give it a try. Perhaps I can put more pressure on the button that way.

Tried it this morning. Pressed button down even with side of razor. Wouldn't go down any farther. Head still wouldn't come off. I think there's something wrong with the release mechanism.

I emailed Wahl support last week. Still no response. Guess who's never going to buy another Wahl product! I may try sending them a letter - but if they chose to ignore the email...

Removeable batteries ? ... maybe they want you to remove the battery <s> before removing the shaving head ? ... some kind of interlock .. Just a thought. My little Wahl trimmer cost me about $ 12. ~ 20 years ago - it uses a single AA battery that lasts for months ! I've dropped it on the floor a few times ... no problem with the brand from my standpoint. John T.

I am sending them a letter today. If I don't solve this problem soon the razor will stop working because the head is filled with hair clippings. Then ~$40 down the drain. I'll probably go back to my old Norelco.

Frankly, I'll be surprized if I get a successful response. Or any response.
