  I’ve seen rechargeable batteries with micro USB ports in them so you can charge the battery directly, you don’t even need a charger. I thought that was pretty nifty.

    Could get those. Might be a good option for some. I just have a lot of rechargeables already for smoke alarms and clocks and what have you. I think I would find plugging in every battery individually to be more trouble. Even finding micro USB cables around the house is becoming a challenge.

      Totally understand. I just wanted to mention them because I thought they were a cool idea. I don’t own any myself, just standard rechargeables. That said, most of my devices that take AA batteries last so long at this point that I rarely have to change them. I’m guessing a shaver is a lot more power-hungry than most though.

        I don’t actually know how long it lasts; I’m unusually vigilant about swapping batteries. I just put a fresh one in the razor, I’ll let it wiggle itself to death and tell you how long that takes.

      Maybe it’s time to get a microscope
