    I got a manscaped electric face razor to replace another cheap one that was dying. It was the first electric razor I got that didn’t come with a tiny bottle of mineral oil for lube and even said in the manual that it didn’t need lube.

    I bet if I had listened to that BS, it would be dead already, especially because I have had it fail to start with full battery just from the friction of the blades (giving it a tap can get it going, adding lube makes it run noticeably better).

    Fucking liars. Let’s see if it lasts any longer than the other ones even with lube.

      Cars are the same way, with “lifetime fluid” that should really be replaced at regular intervals. Zero maintenance appliances are absolutely consumer traps.

        Yeah, probably a safe assumption that the intended lifetime for those is around the same as the length of the warranty.
