I have a Remington shaver. Looking for new blades for the PR1235. Costs
64 cents less to buy a new shaver on amazon than to purchase just the
blades. No wonder we have a landfill problem.

I used Norelco for near 60 years. The last 2 did not cut well. Maybe
if you have real fine hair or something.

My dad uses a $30 Panasonic shaver. Replacement blades and foil are $28.

They sell the shaver at a price point and make their money back on the replacement blades.

I usually get about a year out of the heads. But I remember when a chorded Norelco was $40.00 and the head kit was $12. Now the price point is so close what do you do?

Not me... I do have a little $14.98 portable I keep in the glive compartment of the wife’s car. It’s a little 2-Head that duns on 2 AA BATTERIES. It’s handy for a quick tune-up when we’re going somewhere.

I agree with that. The old Norelco's worked well. The new ones not so well. The one I have now has a light that comes on to tell you it needs new heads. That was a few months ago. Don't notice any difference. Still using the old heads. Not near as good a shave as the old ones.

I think the cutters are screened so no skin is caught, but prevents lots of
hairs going in the cutters. The Remington looks like an old style Norelco
head.

With a little electronic ingenuity you could probably rig up that razor so it would work off the
cigarette lighter.
