Sometime ago, about three years, I bought two el cheapo battery razors from Kmart for $29ea. One for the van and one for home.The one at home finally gave up the ghost today. Looked on their website and are now $27. They have given good service for the price.
I would waste my money buying something like that. I have a light beard In fact, I have had it since I was 20. A mate and I were heading from Melbourne to Harvey Bay in QLD for a couple of months and we had a bet who could grow the best beard in that time. He gave up after three weeks and I kept going, so wone the bet and never shaved it off. I did trim it down though to what it is now and keep the neck clean. That was the only thing that annoyed me and still does. I have thought about shaving it off a couple of times but chicken out.
I gather by your comment that the razors are cheaper now, you got a couple of newbies?
Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

Yep, as you well know Doug, it's a throwaway world mate. They do give a reasonable shave though. I just thought I would put it out there for anyone who thinks the way that I do!!! I bought a couple of them and, at my age, I reckon they will see me out the door. I tried a few times to let the face hair grow but each time SWMBO nagged me to shave so, on the basis of happy wife, happy life, I surrendered!
Have a good day Doug and take care of yourself.
