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?

    My modern philips model just has a little barrel plug for charging in the bottom of the handle so you could totally use it corded which I really appreciate

    But I also appreciate having a battery since I use my for trimming body hair in the shower- I really don’t get facial hair

    So if the battery dies in mine I’ll probably be modding it to have an extra long cable or something lol 😅
