This thing is super expensive and one might think after all the expense that they wouldn't have to shell out more money but leave it to Proctor & Gamble- Braun's Owner- to find ways to milk you for money!First you have to buy the cleaning trays which last only a month and will run you about $60 per year. Then you need a new shaving block after a year and a half which is another $50. And after shelling out all this money you will have a shaver that takes twice as long as a manual and will never shave as close or as well.
