These must be about the only electrical consumer 'gadget' that never comes down in real terms!
The question is, why the **** not?

Dunno. They are useless and no matter how much you pay you never get a decent shave.

Ah, you see that's not environmentally friendly. All that packaging, plastic, metal etc. Still, if you want to open your pores to all sorts of bacteria using a wet shave and razor, go right ahead.Originally posted by bogeyman View Post

They use no electricity, do not contain batteries full of cadmium, lead or other toxic metals. I generally tend not to shave in water drawn from my sceptic tank so not overly worried about bacterial infections.Originally posted by BolshieBastard View PostAh, you see that's not environmentally friendly.

Given that the first one I bought in 1970 something cost around 20 quid they ought to be given away with Cornflakes by now

And why does anyone pay £200+ for a shaver?
This thing is £244 and is too big to take on holiday. What's the point of that? It's even on a "BUY NOW, PAY 6 Months LATER" offer, FFS!
The Philips Arcitec RQ1095, "* Save Over £5.00 *" (like, wow) at £243.69
* Arcitec combines flex and pivot action
So it wobbles.
* Unique flex and pivot action
Repeating features? That's weak.
* Triple track shaving heads providing upto 50% more shaving surface
Wow! 3 = 2 x 1.5. Who'd have thought?
* Ultra slim handle - for easy use.
So you can't hold it with wet or soapy hands. Great.
* Numeric shaving time display.
WTF is the point of that? Are we now supposed to shave for 90 seconds, like when we're teeth-brushing?
* LED multi-purpose display - numeric display of remaining shaving minutes.
FFS, you can hear how much charge there is left in an electric razor as it slows down. What is the point of this feature other than to point out you should have taken the charging stand with you on holiday?
* Plus 4 LEDs cleaning and charging indicators, travel lock and shaving head replacement indicator.
Repeat the features! Make them sound like there's more!
'Shaving head replacement indicator'? What, so it tells you when it isn't working? How thick do you need to be to need one of those?
* Luxury Jet Clean system.
Does that mean you can rinse it under a tap?
* Luxury power pod (charging cassette).
Bugger. A separate charger. How naff.
* Carbon fibre moulding and luxury lacquer finish.
Plastic with spray on paint. Classy.
I'm bored now.
I could buy a 2nd hand van for £243, FFS.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
