I buy a $40 Norelco Triple Header electric shaver every decade or so

The batteries on my rechargeable Philips ( Norelco ) have just
died, I bought it at least 5 years before I retired and that will be
13 years ago next month. The replacement Philips does not do
anywhere near as good a job as the motor runs much slower.
