    Travelling with your shaver - what do you use?

    I usually buy cases from AliExpress. They are zippered, and very similar to Phil's Manscaped case. I remember that in the 70s, 80s and early 90s, the Philips razors, at least, even the budget models, all came with hard plastic cases. I miss those days.

    Rotary Shaver Cleaning

    I'm with you, Shaverman. I'm a big proponent of manual cleaning/lubrication. Back when I started doing this, cleaning stations weren't a thing yet. Nothing beats a good manual cleaning.

I used Williams Lectric Shave years ago with my Philishave HS555 and it caused one of the decorative discs on one of the shaving heads to fall...

    Jim Elliott - how's the Aberlite Touch 2 working for you?

    Marcus, good to hear from you, and welcome aboard. The battery life is holding up well. It's 90 minutes. Now, with that said, a head shave can't be done in three minutes like on the face. More like 12. I get about seven shaves per charge. It shaves the back of my head well. I don't use a mirror...
