I'm looking for an electric shaver, but I'm totally lost. I saw the Philips one, but I saw that I have to pay for the head every couple months.

What are you using and which one you would recommend?

Yes, exactly! I saw an old video of Philips and it does not have usb-c.

My Philips MG7930 has a USB-A to "shaver plug" cable, which means you at least don't have to travel with a charger. I charge it from USB-A port in my laptop.

It does the work, but I don't like power button placement/feel (I often press it by accident) and quality overall is mid.

What made me choose it is that despite it being cheap, there are some replacement parts available (combs, blade, cable) and if you're good with electronics/soldering you can replace the battery inside as well. With minor repairs it should last a decade or more.

I currently have one from Panasonic (non EU, unfortunately) which has USB-C. I previously had one with a USB A plug and a proprietary plug. This is far less annoying.

Also, no risk you could lose the cable and are then unable to charge it if it is just standard USB-C.
