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?
I had that same style of Braun for quite a while!
I have had a Panasonic Arc5 electric razor for 7 1/2 years now and it’s not showing any signs of slowing down.
I replaced the blades in 2022, even though I didn’t feel like I had to, and it was like getting a brand new razor.
