I understand this is a 2 piece razor ( Bottom plate permanently attached to handle) if I was to drop it by accident, will they separate (broken?)

No. Dropped it yesterday on to metal floor from 5 feet, sounded awful but didn't even dent it.

The handle was already attached, i haven't tried to remove it. if you did remove it, you would have a gapinghole at the top.

Nope. One of the handles has broken off already. It still works but you have to be reallly careful when you flip it over to take off the heating plate part.

This is a single unit with handle and blade and are disposable. The blade and the handle cannot be separated. With each set I get about 4 to 5 good shaves before I dispose it.

You should call the company to get one. I broke my handle (by dropping) they sent me a new one right away.

Yes. It's held by tension pegs and can pop off the base. The rest of the handle is held together by wing nuts. So also fairly simple to deconstruct to components.

Yeah, when I did there seemed to be little to no damage to the razor. Though the razor is not in my possession anymore due to it being a little skewed in the razor alignment. Though that was just me, you should have a good time with this razor if you are to get it.

No, I have both razors and it is a totally different mechanism on each one and they are not interchangeable.Sorry,

You can do it, but it's not designed for it (Braun even says not to) so Braun will not repair or replace it if it is damaged that way. Then again, how could they prove you were using it in the shower rather than just rinsing it? I wouldn't ever use it in the shower. I love this razor though. Nothing beats a Braun.

It does appear that the head and handle are separate pieces. I'm hoping that since OXO is a reputable brand that I won't have the problem with them separating later. I hope not anyway!

I have had no problems. This is such a simple mechanism and the razor is so well machined that I cannot imagine what could go wrong. Usually this is some kind of user fault, not a fault of the materials.

There is a plastic tab that holds the bottom blade in a stationary position. The bottom blade will move when the tab breaks. I bought new blade heads but the tab broke on them also. I don't recommend this product.

Exactly what part broke? I know you can buy spare blades from the same company. It should be in the related items.

A better question: When the foam tears off completely, can I still grasp it by the metal part of the handle or is there a problem there?

Jenny the handle should not have broken and the vacuum should last much longer than several months. It should be completly useable for years. I imagine you can return it if it's in that condition after a few months. I love mine and never have a problem with it. I have had it for years and it gets daily use.

No, the system is basically a spring that forces the blade into pins that hold it in place. If you remove any part of the system, the blade will fall off the pins.

I don't see how the screw portion would fail unless you really over tightened it repeatedly. It's very well built. I can't fault this razor at all.
