1138773	2010-09-21 23:25:00	I went old school about a year ago... http://badgerandblade.com/ you can get a nice new handle on trademe for about $40. $7 for a pack of 10 blades, each blade lasts me two weeks. takes a bit of time to get the skill, but very worth it.	robsonde (120)
1138774	2010-09-22 01:18:00	Electric razor is one of the best things I have ever bought, I'll never go back to a standard razor. I have just found that for the most comfortable shave I have to do it twice a day, still...it takes all of 30 seconds and is mess free. Same here. The Norelcos are junk. They nip and you bleed more from their electric than if you used a straight razor for the first time. Maybe the newer Norelcos are junk but not the one I bought in the USA in 1989. The electric razor that I have is a 3 head rotary Norelco (Philips). I have had it over 20 years, replaced the batteries twice and one rotary blade - and yes the other two rotary blades are original. Still does a great job. Norelco marketed the shaver has having blades that were "self-sharpening", and they must be I guess since they have lasted so long (must have been a profit killer as I don't see any shavers these days advertised as having self-sharpening blades. Last year Farmers had a half price sale on shavers, with a 30 day money back guarantee. I bought one, Braun I think, original price approx $200. My old Norelco/Philips was OK but I thought surely a new expensive shaver would be better. It wasn't. I returned it, much to the surprise of the guy in Farmers. Got my money back.	Strommer (42)

The expensive braun ones are far better than the cheap braun ones, as they use a different system. It is a case of getting what you pay for.	robbyp (2751)

Personal hygiene products should never be returnable/refundable/exchangable (unless they are defective). That's almost like saying, hey lets use someone else's discarded condom, we'll clean it first - so it's cool. Not cool.	Cato (6936)
1138777	2010-09-22 08:48:00	It's just a bit of old hair... Do you demand the barber buys new equipment every time you go to get a haircut?	Agent_24 (57)
1138778	2010-09-22 08:51:00	It's just a bit of old hair... Do you demand the barber buys new equipment every time you go to get a haircut? Would you buy a secondhand toothbrush off trademe?	Cato (6936)
1138779	2010-09-22 08:52:00	Would you buy a secondhand toothbrush off trademe?Depends what for. Certainly not for cleaning teeth with though!	Erayd (23)
1138780	2010-09-22 09:15:00	Would you buy a secondhand toothbrush off trademe? No, but it's not the same thing as a shaver.	Agent_24 (57)
1138781	2010-09-22 09:40:00	I'd consider a shaver and a toothbrush to be similar in that respect, no way in hell would I share either with another person.	Metla (12)
