I am sure I started shaving as an adolescent with an electric. I can remember a brand called Norelco. For years when working overseas, I reverted to disposable blades. Today though, I found an archived photo of my most recent shaver when it was still in the package. Wow, that was eight years ago! I recall buying new, branded Philips heads once and being sort of shocked by the cost. More recently, I ordered several cheap Chinese sets on eBay. They worked but didn't stand up very long to daily use.
Although the old device still seems to hold a charge, I got quite a deal on a newer style Philips model. I saw it in the London Drugs flyer but ordered online just to ensure they don't run out before I get up to the store. They did state, "While quantities last!" Rather than shipping to the house, I asked for store pickup and already received my email confirmation. As we were uptown this morning, I'll probably wait until tomorrow to drive up. I'll review the model #S5420/08 in a later post.
