A high-quality electric razor that’s well-maintained can last for years. They may cost more upfront, but over the life of the razor, you’ll save money over a cartridge razor even if you factor in the cost of replacement foils. Most foils only need to be replaced once or twice a year. There are several quality electric models at an affordable price that provide a good shave. When you factor in the cost of replacement cartridges, a mid-priced electric model will still save money.
