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.

Shavers are such small loads that you could get one of those tiny
inverters to run one.

Have you looked at Tim lately? I'm thinking he'd need about 12amps.

It's a Remington, must either be a gun or a razor.
