Ok, I bought a brand-new Norelco razor today at Shopko.

In the package, etc.

Ok...

I pop the "head" off, there is a light dusting of whiskers inside.

Is this unusual?

1. There's still Shopkos?

2. Well, there still is one at least, here in Sheboygan.

We have not one though, but two of those Wal-Mart superstores.

6. Here in the Fox Valley

There are 9 of them within 20 miles of where I live.

3. Maybe it was a return?

I have never heard of anything like this though.

4. that was just Q.C. testing

a guy uses all the razors for a month before they're sold .If the whiskers aren't bloody you're safe .

5. I think so

I've never had that with a new Norelco. They would never test each razor on a face before they sell them.


Take it back for a replacement if it bothers you enough.

7. I'll be keeping it.

I brushed it out well, and it works just fine.

(Lot quieter than my old one!)
