Third. I got a Philishave 6890 (as far as I can tell, it's the same as one of the Norelco 7000 series - at least the same cutters fit it) in 2000, and it's still going strong. It was one of the first with a NiMH pack and it still gets 55 minutes runtime (it had about 65 new).
..
It'll also charge on almost ANYTHING - it has a mini wallwart type thing, and I'm pretty sure it says it'll take 12-240v AC or DC. Way cool.


My el-cheapo Phillishave 5801 is ancient -- got it back in mid 1990s. It has a built-in NiCd pack, which still keeps an excellent (2-3 weeks) charge despite daily use. Simply amazing that they manage the battery that well.

Built-in charger, and just a detachable skinny coil-cord (no wall dongle/wart). Charges from pretty much any source over 20V AC/DC.

Cheers
