Do the pencil shavings come out the opening if you put this in a backpack without emptying it first? I'm tired of cleaning messy backpacks. Thanks!

Put the sharpener in a Baggie so if some shavings escape, you only have to dump them from the Baggie, not the backpack!

it fits perfectly inside a particular prescription bottle like it was made for it. That's where I keep mine.

the top is made of hard plastic and includes the sharpening knife blade in a sturdy metal casting attached to the inside of the top.the top is kept on the bottom by precision molded threads and it can stay on if correctly tightened. This will not fall apart from being bounced around in a back pack. But the shavings and bits can escape through the pencil sharpening hole. Solution: put this inside a small reclosable plastic bag, or use a rubber band to keep some plastic wrap over it

Ha! That is a very good question, which I have never thought of before. Obviously if the case is loose or if it is violently shaken it will definitely leak some but in general the sharpener really does not make a mess. It is very good pencil sharpener that does not make much mess. Definitely worth it and your current backpack woes.

For the most part, they stay in the base. A few little very small lead slivers fall out.

I always towel dry my DE after taking it apart and cleaning it and the blade. I would say that if you towel dry your razor first that there should be ample space for it to dry if the flap is open for about fifteen minutes or so.

No. This is a one-time use item. Buy it, watch youtube to learn how to use it (so you don't open it), stash it in your backpack and leave it there.

There is a large opening next to the compartments for your hair tools. I usually wrap the cord to my hairdryer around the handle and my flat iron cord gets wrapped up and placed in that large opening.

Yes, my husband puts it inside of a coffee cup inside his bathroom drawer and it allows the brush to air out between uses. He also uses the Kinsley Shave Soap bowl with lid and Col. Conks soap, as well.

Mine has and i read that you have to stick a paper clip sized item into the drain hole to clean out debris. I did but I still have the drainage problem. I am trying to avoid buying a cleaning cartridge. Is it possibly the reason for the drain clog? I am disappointed that the charger base does not do it's job of draining out the water anymore. I now use the base unit to dry the shaver head and charge only.

No. There's only space for the pad. The only way I found to keep a pencil inside is to slip a small one into the spiral binding of a pad.

Nope! When you take the head of to clean it will because it's full of shavings but otherwise it's tight, secure, neat and gives the best shave I've ever had from an electric razor; almost as close as a four-way shave with a safety razor. I'm not kidding. Baby smooth using Williams Lectric shave and a Remington shave stick. I had to switch do to starting blood thinners and I've no regrets.

I haven't actually used one of the pencils down to the end yet. But I remember attempting to sharpen one out of idleness and it sharpened... But don't do it unless the top piece is completely finished! Cause it gets messy otherwise lol

I had no problem! I hold the handles and shake, and it slides right out. Of course, the deeper it is into the bag, the harder you have to shake. I found it easier to gradually pull it out a bit as the bag gets fuller. It's also easier if you crush the leaves down every so often as you are filling the bag. I start out with it on its side, and as it gets full, place it upright to finish it off.

You have to turn the handle where it attaches to the sharpener. It is quite easy to get to and clean when necessary.

There is one little spot that I put my extra exacto blades in which might be able to fit a small sharpener. But there is only one spot so it would either be a sharpener or an eraser. I guess it would depend on the size of either.

Yes. The 2 buttons push together and it slides out holding the pencil . As it sharpens they move back towards the sharpener. I love this sharpener!!!!

Yes, as Heidi mentioned - sharpening regular pencils to clean the blade and oil from the Prismacolor pencil buildup is a plus. Awesome sharpener.

That part is supposed to come out. As you sharpen the pencil, the grip brings the pencil in, and the metal part retracts back to the point at which the pencil is as sharp as the sharpener will make it.

YOu simply screw it off, turning the top counterclockwise. It may have created a vacuum and thus be hard to remove. It works great--no leaking in a backpack.

Yes, there is a sharpener located on the top tier. It is removable to allow for disposal of crayon shavings, and also to make more space for the crayons.
