I wonder if people know that electric razors last like … ten years. I’ve owned, I think, two electric razors in my life, and I’m in my late thirties. I never have to replace any part of it.
But sure, they do last forever.
These were the inexpensive mail-order discount razors and the special shave butter they advertised, I forget the name of the company but it was the first one I was aware of that bypassed the Gilette racket by doing everything via mail. (edit- DollarShaveClub?)
Smooth or not, I'm sticking with my electric razor.
I'd say it gets very very close to a manual razor in terms of smoothness.
I’ve never replaced any heads on my shavers either. I lose them before that.
I got a cheap one sub 20 and it lasted 3 months.
I tried getting a wired one hoping it will last a bit longer.
It may just be me, my hair is really hard.
