My 8-year-old Norelco shaver died this morning. Norelco says to send to them for factory service, which will cost as much as a new shaver with paying the freight both ways. Found a new battery for $10 + $5 shipping that I could solder in myself - but it also needs a new $35 head.
I also have a 4-year old Norelco Senso touch, but like the old one better when my whiskers grow a few days. I've been using the Senso touch as a "clean up" shaver after I mow off the longer whiskers with the old shaver.
I can buy a new shaver at Costco for $60 that comes with an extra replacement head. However I found out online that is not a current Norelco model and has poor reviews. Costco ain't like it used to be with the new CEO; the old CEO never would have allowed selling obsolete/non-current models. Maybe the new CEO came from WalMart, which carries a lot of non-current models in different things. Costco has a top of the line Norelco for $180, but I'll pass on that one.
I think I'll just wait awhile and see what comes along in the future. I'll get by with my Senso touch shaver until I find something that I want.
