Personally, I fully accept that, but I am in the minority of genuinely not seeing anything wrong with it either.
It was roughly seven years till I had to replace the top cap on my Jagger. That cost £7.50 and came with a free pack of blades. I don't begrudge maintenance costs of £1 per year, on something that gives me fantastic shaves on a £30 initial outlay. Is £30 for 2000 shaves really so bad? Especially when spending a further £7.50 then gets you another 2000.
