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?

    Oneblade looks interesting. I’ll have to check that out. Do you dry shave with it?

      Yes, and use a combination of various attachments for grooming, and even got a third-party nose hair trimmer attachment that works pretty damn well, too! LOL

      I tend to have really sensitive skin, and the OneBlade helps a lot. Philips says that you can use it wet or dry, with foam or gel, but also say that the best results are when you use it dry.

        Nice! Thanks for the info. Looks like Costco has a bundle on sale right now too so I may give it a shot even if I end up with a more expensive shaver as well.
