Hoping someone here will have had similar experience and can provide a recommendation.
Dad, who is now in a Care Home, has for many years used Philips Electric shavers the sort with 3 floating heads (other brands and styles available).
In last few months, as his Dementia has progressed, whilst he's still perfectly capable of shaving himself he increasingly struggles with cleaning the razor and invariably ends up unclipping various retainers within the shaving head then losing them so the floating heads no longer float but instead fall inside the razor rendering it useless.
I live some distance away and only visit monthly and no matter how many times I ask that he gets staff to help or leaves it for me to clean, every visit I find it in a changed state of disrepair.
Its hard to source the clips and as a result he ends up with a new razor (of same style as existing one) every few months.
Doe anyone know of another brand /style of electric shaver without any accessible moving parts that he can access/lose ?
We have tried suggesting that staff look after it and only give it to him to shave and then give back but he , understandably, sees this as a further infringement on his personal space so reluctant to go down that route unless we can find no alternative.
He also steadfastly refuses to grow a beard , though I think he looks rather good with one - he's never had one and I think views them to be in the same class as tattoos, ponytails or piercings !
Any suggestions appreciated.
