Welcome aboard B&B, and like the above posters, I enjoyed the recitation of your shaving history. It shadows my own shaving history somewhat except I abandoned the Electrict Remington early on. I also received a Panasonic wet/dry ES in about 1991. I used it till the battery would no longer take a charge, then went back to strictly wet shaving. My total ES experience lasted maybe 3 years, and I'll be starting my 50th something year anniversary of shaving next month. It's been fun.
