Yes, you can shave with this razor when it is being charged. BUT I do not get the 17 hours of shaving as was advertised. I get about a week of shaves between charges.

You have to choose the battery type you are using and then it will start charging. Yes, everytime you connect it, it will want you to choose.

It works when I connect it to my laptop by USB to charge. Ie constant charge. I have not tried to use it when I plug it into the mains. I have always charged it from my laptop.

The razor does not come with a chord for charging, it has a charging cradle. I have used the razor out of town for eight days without charging, it works great. For longer trips I take the cradle.

Mine was working immediately after charging. You might need to replace yours.

There seems to be something wrong with how it works wrt charging and playing. I can get it to work whilst plugged in but not before it switches off- unplugging or plugging in power cord always disrupts it and means I have to restart it, but then it will work Ok still plugged in to the power.

No, longer chords are not available. However, you can purchase a different model that is battery operated. Hope this helps ~McGrath

Mine recognized the charging right away. Took a few hours to reach 100%. My only real gripe about this battery and cord is the cord has no "charging" indicator light where it connects to the computer, however, the internal battery indicator in the system settings recognized it and does work for me.

yes, it does work with the cord & the battery discharged. In fact, I believe most of my old chargeable razors such as norelco, panasonic, etc., worked corded with the battery discharged. Thanks for asking

It does work when it's plugged in, just kind of annoying and it recommends not to. But I have before haha. There is no battery indicator light either which is kind of odd, so you kind of just hope it lasts or that it's charging. Haven't had any problems about it not charging but its still strange.

Yes it worked that way for me. I just plugged it in and it began to charge.

Yes it will work while being charged. I haven't tried leaving it connected all of the time because the battery life is pretty good. There is a power switch. The speaker is very easy to connect and use.

I used the cord that came with it to charge both the phone and battery at the same time. I usually did this at night and both were charged within a few hours. You may have a defective one, unless you still get a full charge or 2 out of the battery pack with only 2 lights working. I am sorry I don't have a good answer for you.

Yes. I leave it plugged in since I use it at home. If the battery runs out, it will take some time before it charges enough to use again. I expected it to work as soon as I plugged it in but it didn't.

It did...it also just crapped out this morning when I was out for a walk. It doesn't want to charge or turn on. I'd keep looking for another option if I were you.
