I still have and use regularly Abercombie & Fitch's '60-second razor' an A&F green, very simple and splendid foil-head thing, no batteries, that I bought when it was first introduced, probably mid-1960's. I used it daily before growing my present burden of facial hair 5 or 6 years ago, probably somewhere around 300-320 shaves a year for 35-6 years, aroun 11,000 shaves. And with a clipper head on the same shaver, I trim my beard weekly, another 350-400 uses. This little device has never required servicing of any kind, just cleaning the hairdust out periodically. Pretty impressive. And I have a new 'back-up'. When I bought mine, I bought one as a gift for my dad. He didn't like the shave it gave him, favored a Norelco (Phillips) and gave it to me in favor of a different gift. His A&F 60 second thingie is still virtually new in box!
