Men's Electric Shaver
-
I’ve had a Braun Series 5 model 8975 electric shaver for 16 years now and this thing has outlasted basically every other consumer electronic I’ve ever purchased. It just works. Battery still holds a charge. It’s great.
Sadly, Braun seems to have stopped making series 5 replacement foils and the non-OEM ones I’ve tried are absolute junk. I hate to give up old reliable when it still works, but sadly I think it’s time look for something new.
Before they stopped making replacement foils, I would have purchased another Braun in a heartbeat when this one finally gave up the ghost, but now I’m on the fence.
Does anyone have recommendations for a BIFL shaver? -

Plug-in Norelco. I can check the model number of mine later.
I like my Norelco too. Just a basic battery one that’s been around the world with me and lasted 10+ years. FWIW, almost all electric shavers owe their design to Braun. Read into Deiter Rams and his
