Braun's mid-premium shaver makes sense at a daily cadence: the 8567cc kit costs $229.99 at Braun and on Amazon, and a head every 18 months plus a cartridge every two months adds about $70 to $77 a year.
Waterpik's countertop Aquarius answers a dentist's water-flosser recommendation with 90-plus seconds of water per fill and ten pressure settings, priced at $59.99 against a $99.99 MSRP in September 2026.
The Pro 1000 makes sense when pressure feedback matters more than extra modes. Allow about $26 to $50 annually for CrossAction heads after the included one, using Oral-B store prices.
Waterpik's WP-580 puts three pressure settings, a 45-second reservoir and a magnetic charger into a waterproof handle for $99.99. It solves counter space and travel; it does not solve the refill problem.
The Truman handle now ships as the $15 Original Shave Set with three five-blade cartridges and a gel. The set is a loss leader; the $2.50-a-cartridge refills are the product.
The handle costs $19.96 and lasts years. The heads it takes must be replaced every three months, and Philips does not publish their price on either product page.
At $15.97 for 16 ounces — about $1.00 an ounce — the tub delivers the ceramides, sodium hyaluronate and petrolatum its label names; the open-jar format and unpublished concentrations are the catches.
