Making their product live longer is not usually the top priority for manufacturers. I like the initiative, of course, but I’m sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Sounds too good not to be a greenwashing gimmick.
They make money on blade replacement cartridges. If the base unit lasts longer they still make more money in the long run from consumables. A lot like electric toothbrushes.
Source: I have this shaver and buy replacement blades a few times a year.
Yep they basically give the handle away for free anyway just to get you on the blades. Giving away accessories at no-cost-to-them is totally on brand. I doubt many other companies will do it, as accessories are usually moneymakers.

Avoids tariffs if you print them yourself
Where does the filament come from?
I get mine from a filament spaghetti factory
Uhhhh the filaments trees obviously
There’s enough plastic around to recycle it… PLA, PETG, ABS… can all be shredded, crushed, and recycled.
Well that certainly makes a lot more sense now. I wasn’t familiar with Philips shavers with replacement blades. 🙄
