How often do you change the blades?
I've been partial to the Philips style rotaries for about 45 years.
Blades last me about 5 years.

Just looking at mine, it's now Norelco Phillips.

I recommend this type too. The heads not only have holes but also have
slits. Makes it easier not to miss a hair.

With the screen type vibrating razors which also work well if a hair
slips by and gets longer it may no longer be cut by the screen and you
end up with a stray hair.

Last time i bought an electric shaver, i accidently bought a corded version instead of battery oprerated. Turned out to be a good mistake. It has plenty of power and never had to fuss with charging and changing batteries. And i have never traveled to a place that does not have power at the sink

I had to toss an old Norelco because of this. When battery gave out it
would not even work when plugged in.

The new one however can be used even in the shower as it is essentially
water proof. They recommend washing it with hot water after shaving.
