Electric rotary shaver

I don't doubt I could replace internal batteries so long as the thing came apart cleanly but I suspect many simply bin them when the charge retention gets to be annoying. Come to that many could just be used on the charging lead although I know some won't work that way.

I looked at the price of a replacement head and decided to buy a new cheap shaver at around a third of the price they wanted. It works well enough and I won't feel any compunction to look for replacement heads or take it apart in the hope the batteries can be replaced at less the the price of a new one.

I still consider £150 for a shaver to be taking the mickey.

They actually do an even cheaper one but I see that has a single poor review.

Argos Phillips travel shaver, about £15, takes 2 AA ( can be rechargeable ) batteries.
After a few weeks, buy another, and use it for "best".
When either are no good, buy another, and bin the oldest one.

There's a lot to be said for investigating whether the IPL hair removal system works properly and safely on men's faces. Shaving must be the biggest waste of time that men have to endure on a daily basis!

Capn Birdseye lookalike! I've had a two head Philips rotary (mains only) for must be 20 or more years now. I sharpened the blades about 5 years ago using Brasso and a sheet of glass. It has a flip out trimmer which sadly no longer works, so I bought a Remington foil which has a very good swivelling trimmer set. Unfortunately it gives a terrible shave, so I shave daily with the Philips and trim weekly with the Remington. When I need a good shave as opposed to a daily light mow, I use pre-electric solution(?) with the Philips. I have a tough wiry beard and use them for "man scaping". Short answer- sharpen the blades, see sentence 2 above!

6 months ago I switched from wet shaving to the Phillips OneBlade - absolutely love it.
