thanks. I am pretty sure the lv65 and lv95 are literally the exact same shaver, just one comes with the stand and the other doesn't, so we are good on that front.

(For future ref) used this tutorial (it's kinda mid but) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCE7eXV2uVM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCE7eXV2uVM) and this battery [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B351PC9D?psc=1&smid=A1Z74S8KTUFMH9](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B351PC9D?psc=1&smid=A1Z74S8KTUFMH9) (but many other batteries will work). New batt part number is WESLV9ZL2508. The one I got is technically an ES-LV65 one, not an ES-LV95 one (mine), but they appeared the same.

no, don't change anything. you are a genius. Ebaying this from japan is literally half the price of a new one form america, even with import fees. you were on to something, and I just found out for myself. decided to try it out for myself now after finding out. it feels like I just opened pandora's box, and I have you to thank.

you buy things directly form japan? I never really thought much about that. cool. I do say that if your skin is sensitive, I do recommend changing the foil more often than I do, i am just crazy when it comes to stuff like that. like to use things until they just stop working entirely (or just stop working properly). not always healthy for the skin, tho. I admittedly never used the cleaning machine aspect of the stand, just the charging/drying aspect of it. the thing uses actual detergent that does more than a simple cleaning? if your skin notices it, I wonder how it helps the shaving process. ebaying used things is not a bad idea. I once found the razer in an almost unused sate, complete in the box for only around $60-$70 about a year ago for someone.

If it works it works fr. I’m feeling silly now for swapping blades on the exact interval the manual recommends, maybe just an ipa soak in an ultrasonic or an old brush like you do would be better, gonna try that next instead, maybe only swap em out half as much. I don’t even have that much facial hair. If I don’t swap the detergent in a timely manner in the cleaning machine part tho I DEFINITELY notice skin fuckery, but that too, I should find a cheaper alternative than eBay-ing shit from Japan once a year or so
