I bought a Norelco rechargeable razor three years ago.
Truth be told, I wasn’t looking to impress ladies — but if they chose to take their clothes off for me for saving the environment, that’s OK. I just wanted the convenience of walking around the room shaving and reading IMAO.
Well, it turns out that those rechargeable batteries hold a shorter and shorter charge as time goes on! A recharge that used to last for days now lasts for only hours. And I look like Dr. House.
I don’t know how much resale value my electric razor has now. (Of course, I don’t know how much it ever would have had.)
I don’t even know if I’m allowed to send the damn dead toxic thing to a landfill.
But, I’m looking to buy an electric vehicle. Any suggestions?
Suggestions? Don’t use it to shave with – the tire marks would be off-putting…
Recomendations:
1) Replace your razor heads annually
2) Replace the battery of the razor
3) Electric Car: New Bright RC 1:9 Scale at Target, $65.
I love my 10yo Norelco rechargeable. In fact I wish the battery in it was in my phone. Car? I’ve always thought a hybrid would be cool…at least that way I could go Half-Green.
Based on the data shown, stay away from any Norelco EV’s.
May I suggest an American Built “Baker Electric Model V Victoria.”
I just stopped shaving that close. I use one of those beard/hair trimmers to get down to a nice stubble and if I’m feeling frisky I have those kind of like a razor but not really a razor. But I do have a real electric I use maybe once or twice over the course of several months. The interns love it.
2nd the beard trimmer and the stubble look.
Story time, worked at a grocery store in college. Saw my bi*** store manager send a fellow student home to shave (costing him a couple hours of much needed pay) because he had a 5 o’clock shadow, even though his shift literally started at 5 o’clock and he had shaved that morning before classes. I was pissed and onery. So, having the next couple of days off, I didn’t shave, then before my shift I shaved my neck and cleaned up the cheek line leaving the face stubble. When I got to work she tried to send me home. I politely pointed out in the rule book that we were required to be “Clean shaved or have a well trimmed beard”, and told her to “look at those clean lines, and beard don’t get much more well trimmed than that”.
And then, “Make me a sammich!”
That’s nothing. I once loaned my e-shaver to a friend and when he returned it he still had the same beard. He left in a hurry before I could ask any questions.
For the record, I was kidding about the electric vehicle — just enjoying the razor as a metaphor.
Seems more like a simile to me…
How many hours does it take you to shave??
Nothing beats a good, well tuned straight razor.
My son got me one for Christmas 15 years ago. Had it refurbished two years ago after the handle cracked.
Nothing more Zen than scraping your face with naked steel and a Marlboro hanging from your lips.
I heard only Gays use an electric Remington shaver but, you know, a person can hear just about anything. Never-the-less I have always avoided them like the plague. I bet Obama has hundreds of them though, gifted to him from the Gay Cartel.
The same holds true for your cell phone and any batter operated device. If you check the battery on your cell phone settings, it basically tells you that a 100% charge is based on the current useful life of the battery, and not 100% as if it were new. So, like a $1.00 bill, the value ain’t based on what is was when the ATM gave it to you, but what it is today after sitting in your pocket for 24 or more hours!
Here’s a suggestion. Throw your crappy electric razor in the trash.
OK, I will.
But what does one do with one’s electric vehicle?
Keep it far away from your house as possible.
