I have a Philishave 955 electric shaver from Philips (one of the ones with the three round shaving heads in a triangular pattern).

Should I be oiling it? If so, how often? And what type of oil?

p.s., I don't have the manual anymore.
 
Modern ones have sealed motors and require only a cange of the blades and heads every 6 months.
 
Go to a reputable razor store and just buy the oil. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. I have a foil type razor and use a spray on the heads once a week.

Could also just read the instruction book and see what it says.

No need to do that.

Simply run the blades (while the razor is running) over some sandpaper (lightly, dont press too hard).
This will sharpen the blades for years to come.

I do it daily and I've had the same shaver for years
