Nice idea. Now make the batteries replaceable in things like shavers, and stop making the replacement foils the printer ink of the personal grooming consumables world. For those that don’t know, you can buy a battery operated shaver for say $60 and the replacement foil and cutter will cost $30-40. Half the cost of a new shaver for a small bit of plastic and metal.

    Also, allow the blades on the newest model to be reversed. The old version could be reversed, so when the leading edge got dull, you could flip it around.

    With the newest version, it's nearly impossible to use the back edge because of the curve of the handle. Clearly designed to reduce blade life by half.

    Dude, Just buy a a Wahl clipper set and avoid that headache.

    Mine has a big beefy wall-plug one, and one that runs off two AA batteries. Also sturdy as fuck and I've abused and misused the damn thing for like 15 years and they are both still going strong.

    I just don't buy battery operated stuff that doesn't have to be battery operated. That's why my bathroom has electrical outlets. K.I.S.S. principal.

    I tried to find an electric shaver that plugs into the wall two years back. I gave up and got one that takes AA batteries (rechargeable ones may be expensive but still cheaper per use than proprietary bullshit)
