That is a whole other issue of course. There is no reason why rotary shavers
based on modern direct drive motors, small versions of those used in drones
and dvd players, cannot be set up to work well. Its just penny pinching and
crap batteries and power supplies.

I have a 12 year old Philishave and a 3 year old Lidl shaver, both used
only very occasionally, Philishave in the house, Lidl in the caravan.
Each has a charge remaining display and both will still show 100% if
unused for many months.

Best electric shave I've ever had was from a mains only Remington shaver
with a proper 240v motor, cutters moved violently side to side at 50Hz.

These whizzy electric motors and cams (or whatever) don't have the force
(mass * acceleration) to undo my cave man look.
