Electric Shaver recommendation

Great shaver for the money, USB charging.

SweetLF 3D Rechargeable IPX7 Waterproof Electric Shaver Wet and Dry Men's Rotary Shavers Electric Shaving Razors with Pop-up Trimmer - Blue.
Available from Amazon.

I dislike all but the rotary blade on the Philishave. I tried one of those Braun foil jobs and it was absolutely terrible and struggled to cut. If you like a stubbly cut then a Braun might suit IME. lol

I do not know what model mine is, it has Speed-X on it but no model number. It looks like it is part of the 8200 Series possibly HQ8245 It's re-chargeable or corded and I use it mainly corded.

The genuine heads are very expensive but compatibles, which admittedly probably won't last anywhere near as long, are below £15 on ebay. I had it repaired under warranty no questions asked in the first 2 or 3 years, where the head retainer cracked/broke when I dropped it onto a solid floor. I have replaced the heads once. That is in something like 15 years.

If you consider £15 once every year it compares favourably to the expense of wet shaving. Or £38.99 from the Philips shop every 10 years for the genuine part.

These recommend replacing them every 2 years, they are less than half the price of genuine spares and are merely compatibles.
£38 on amazon for originals. More recent shaving heads are cheaper.

I do not get along with wet shaving and therefore will only use an electric shaver. Mine gets heavy use to get a close shave so it has lasted well.

I'm looking for another electric shaver. Every one I buy nowadays it rarely lasts more than 6 months before it feels like the hairs are being plucked or it fails to cut efficiently. Replacement foils and blades rarely seem to work well either.

There's probably a simple explanation why, I've bought my last three shavers cheap from Aldi!

Can anyone recommend a model which the cutters stay sharp for a long time OR

that replacement cutters can be bought cheaply and work as well as the original

BTW Aldi hardwares usually have 3 year warranties therefore it might be worth keeping the receipt and returning it if it fails. Free shaves for 6 months is very MSE and can't be bad IMO.
