I have been in business for 3 years now and have yet to find someone reputable that can sharpen Swan blades. The metal is soft so a person has to be very gentle in order not to destroy the blade. If you know of anyone that can sharpen, please pass their info to me. We have just been replacing blades as needed.
Thanks so much.

Hey sugarpig!
What you really need to do is replace your blade.
Here is a link to a new blade (depending on which model you have)

And here is a blade installation guide video for Swan Shavers.

Hi sugarpig,
I have been sharpening the Swan blades with very good success.
I sharpen blades using a low rpm water cooled wheel grinder to guard
against changing the temper of the steel.

Please note effective 4/7/12, I have reopened my sharpening business and would like to thank all my customers for their patience.

I have many old dull Norelco rotary shavers in my bathroom drawer, that the blades cost almost as much as a new shaver. I decided to try to recycle them by sharpening the blades. I looked on the internet and found some gadgets and some articles about how to re-sharpen the blades. One said use a piece of glass and lap with tooth paste, the gadget was a abrasive cup that you put on the shaver and run the shaver. On one shaver I did the glass lapping, it was tedious, however it worked fine. On the second shaver I tried a different procedure that was easy and effective, here is what I did. Carefully removed the heads with blades from the shaver, keeping the blades with the original heads.
Cleaned the shaver with a small brush and each blade/head with water and brush, keeping the paired head/blade assembly.
I then took tooth paste and put a dab (1/4inch long as it comes out of the tube) in each head and installed the mated blade on top of it, re-installed them into the shavers head holder. From the back of the head holder I added 2 drops of water to each tooth paste dab.
Holding the shaving surface down so the water and tooth paste wouldn't run back into the shaver, I carefully closed the head holder, and ran the shaver for about 20 seconds in the shaving surface down position.
Keeping the shaver in that position I removed the head assemblies and cleaned the mated blade assemblies and their holder by running under the water tap. Dried all the parts with a towel and blowing out with my mouth, then re-assembled the shaver. I have had several shaves with it and it performs like new.
