There are quite a few hi-tech razors and shavers on the market these days. Some of them are simply over the top. For example:
- The Braun Pulsonic System 9595 with LCD Screen costs about $200. Why does an electric shaver need an LCD screen?
- The Gillette Fusion Power Phenom razor has a five-blade shaving surface, battery, and on-board microchip. Why does a hand-held razor need a battery and microchip?
Hand-held razors like the Gillette Mach3 and the Fusion Power Phenom are actually fairly inexpensive initially. However, the cost of the replacement blades over time gets very expensive.
Instead of a hi-tech choice, The Low-Tech Times recommends a simple safety razor. The Merkur razor is not dirt cheap; however, the much lower costing replacement blades easily make it the most economical choice over time. This Merkur razor and replacement blade 30-pack from Amazon.com are highly recommended:
