I must have had this shaver for about 20 years and it has never let me down. After using a foil razer without much success I bought this Philips one and it is brilliant. Battery still lasts forever. Unfortunately Philips no longer make replacement blades for this model. Sadly I have had to put away my good razer for ever now. The prices of a decent Philips shaver are well out of my range so unfortunately it's back to disposable razer's. Sad really.
