Originally it was possible to buy just the replacement foil for your Braun electric razor for about £5. Dear enough for a piece of pierced metal.
Then they brougt a new improved razor but one could no longer buy just the foil. The whole head had to be replaced, at a cost od around £30. Extortionate.
Now they have another new improved model razor and the replacement foil/head is £86 ! Is there no limit to their greed?

A while ago I decided I'd had enough of appallingly expensive Braun parts.

I went back to a rotary razor, and although it takes a while for the face
to 'acclimatise', it was worth it.

I think I've had the razor 6 or 7 years, and I haven't had to replace
anything. I did buy a multi-use sharpening kit for a few quid, and I
sharpen the cutters every 3 months.

Philips razor (lots of models)

I assume you mean for the sharpener. Had it about 4 years, so who knows
what the supply/price is like now. I think it actually came from Canada.
The make was 'Vollco' - just looked.

Amazon seem to sell some in the UK. Google should be easy.

It is always as great as your stupidity to buy their product.

Two years ago I bought an old fashioned safety razor for about £20. I am
on my third set of blades. Total cost so far for 2 years shaving is
about 25 quid on the razor. Still on the same bottle of aftershave, but
I have got through two cans of cheapest shaving foam.

I mean how dull is shaving? You just need a cheap effective quick way
way to get the stubble off.

The rest is marketing bollox.

My Philips razor cost me about 25 quid. The sharpeners cost about 15 quid.

Total cost so far for 6 years or so shaving is 40 quid. Excluding the
minimal amount of electricity.

In my experience battery shavers, seem to not get blunt well not the
Remington ones, but no matter how smart the tech, the battery life seams to
be only about 3 to five years. This either implies poor charging design or
crap batteries. The latest ones keep up their speed until suddenly stopping.
One supposes some kind of low voltage motor is used with control circuit
tto achieve this, but I'd imagine this masks the problem of age making one
or more cell die first reverse charging tem and hastening the life time of
the cell reduction mechanism somewhat. To my mind it would be great if these
batteries were in packs so they could be replaced, but no, nearly all
shavers I've seen that are rechargeable seem to be self destructing if you
attempt to get in to put new cells in.

I've got a Braun fruit juicer which I bought abroad (in Europe, not that

it's a good model which I've had many years I thought I'd buy the part
rather than scrap and replace the whole thing. The gear is about 2cm
dia and weighs next to nothing. I got online and found the part number.

Braun UK wanted 14 quid inc. shipping.

Braun Deutschland wanted a more reasonable 6 euro plus 12 euro shipping.

Braun USA wanted 28 cents plus $40 international shipping. Shipping to
US residents was free, so I got a friend in Florida to order two and
post them to me at a cost of $1.20

Fitted it, works perfectly and there's a spare taped to the inside if it
strips again.

It was satisfying being able to fix it at a modest cost.

yes

the actual cutting part of the Philips heads is fiddly small

I assumed that it would require quite a specialist sharpener to work

Had it about 4 years, so who knows

The fault here is USAns insistence on "Shipping" even if putting it in a
Jiffy bag and trusting to US mail is sufficient.

I once received an interview confirmation for a US job (a single sheet of
paper in an envelope, interview was in London BTW)) by UPS. I almost didn't
actually get it before I had to leave for the interview, as, of course, it
needed to be signed for and I was out on the day they came.

I have a Remington rotary. Sharpening it costs near zero. A bit of plate
glass and some Autosol chrome polish. About every six months.

What does the whole razor cost?

When my Braun 3775 needed battery replacement, I was able instead
to get a whole shaver for £35, but it is sadly now completely
discontinued.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Braun-3775-Interface-Excel-Shaver/dp/B0000D86RV

I was able to get a compatible foil from the far east for £5.99
delivered, which works as well as the original for the areas I
shave around my beard.

One of its real advantages is that it works fine on ac or dc from
12 V to 240 V. This means that, with the aid of an adapted lead,
it can be recharged when I am in the caravan and without hook-up.
As I now have two identical, if aged, shavers I may well
investigate opening up the older one to see if the rechargeable
cells are suitable candidates for replacement.

part
rather than scrap and replace the whole thing. The gear is about
2cm
dia and weighs next to nothing. I got online and found the part
number.

Braun UK wanted 14 quid inc. shipping.

Braun Deutschland wanted a more reasonable 6 euro plus 12 euro
shipping.

Braun USA wanted 28 cents plus $40 international shipping. Shipping
to
US residents was free, so I got a friend in Florida to order two and
post them to me at a cost of $1.20

Fitted it, works perfectly and there's a spare taped to the inside
if
it
strips again.

It was satisfying being able to fix it at a modest cost.

but does it shave your genitals well ? ....


Does the hair or the lack of it on his ******** interest you?



not n the slightest .....just saying

Just saying what?

It looked more like a question than a statement.



just saying a question then...



Talking ********.

other people, so much so that he's followed me here from
uk.radio.amateur, leaving a trail of slime behind him.

The fault here is USAns insistence on "Shipping" even if putting it in a
Jiffy bag and trusting to US mail is sufficient.

It adds to their bottom line. Like the ebay auctions selling stuff for
a few pennies then charging 50 quid for postage.

I think it has more to do with deep suspicion of USPS as a socialistic
federal government enterprise motivated to destroy the Free Market by
failing to deliver.

More that they have a completely different system for
delivery of stuff within the US, which sees free delivery
without using the USPS and they don't bother to consider
what makes sense when sending stuff out of the country.

Unlike with china.

Well, as a follow up to this, I have just ordered something that, quite by
chance, turns out to be shipped from the US

a small connector, 6 pounds 40 including shipping (that was the best price
that I could find)

I have a DHL tracing number to follow which has so far been to 6 different
US locations (though they are probably simply different departments in the
same building)

so I don't know where 40 dollars shipping can come from

It's Braun adding their own markup on shipping (what we call P&P here).

Gillette marketing - give the razor \away for free, make loads of profit
on the blades.

For some reason, the US postal system doesn't seem to be trusted by US
firms. Where you'd happily just pop something in the post here, they seem
to want to use couriers or whatever. Even when not making a profit from
P&P.

I've tracked stuff from DigiKey and it seemed to go all over the USA
before finally landing at East Midlands airport. Then Dartford (local
depot), then me.
