I've had a Braun Series 5 model 8975 electric shaver for 16 years now and this thing has outlasted basically every other consumer electronic I've ever purchased. It just works. Battery still holds a charge. It's great. Sadly, Braun seems to have stopped making series 5 replacement foils and the non-OEM ones I've tried are absolute junk. I hate to give up old reliable when it still works, but sadly I think it's time look for something new. Before they stopped making replacement foils, I would have purchased another Braun in a heartbeat when this one finally gave up the ghost, but now I'm on the fence. Does anyone have recommendations for a BIFL shaver?

Nice! Thanks for the info. Looks like Costco has a bundle on sale right now too so I may give it a shot even if I end up with a more expensive shaver as well.
