Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
Braun electric razor packed up this morning. Got slower and slower then stopped. Batteries show fine. Finally got it apart and the motor has failed. Hardly runs even with no load.
Searched the net and no spare available so I'm going to have to buy a new one.

You will be amazed how good a shave modern electrics give you, assuming your Braun is super old. I went from a Braun to an expensive Philips one and was shocked how much better it was, now don't use as I have embrassed the trimmed beard.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
The Braun 3 series (5415) is less than 10 years old. I've temporarily resurrected my old Braun 1508. Just needed the battery replacing.
Though its only a single foil I feel that it did a better job than both its successors.

No substitute for foam and a blade. Electric razors are crap.

It’s not due for renewal until the 28th, so later in the week I’ll get some quotes for comparison… |
Did some investigating around like-for-like quotes (moneysupermarket, Halifax, Skipton, (got bank accounts/ISAs with them), Admiral (multi-car policy with them), Saga, NFU, and a couple of others - they all came out more than the DirectLine renewal quote (some just slightly., like Admiral and Halifax, others nearly 50% more, like Saga).
Called DirectLine, and got it reduced to £262, so, if not a win, not such a big loss…

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
Blame the actuaries. They are the ones who work the figures out. Apparently around here there have been some claims so that affects premiums for others in same area.
NFU quote was so far above the others that while I would like to use them it wouldn't be sensible (233% of the figure we chose to go with).
Like you I called existing insurer and negotiated down but ours had increased because we had made a claim.

If you get a choice of either the numbing spray or sedation I'd go for the sedation every time. I didn't get on well the spray at all. I couldn't tell if I was swallowing or not. But i hope it all goes well.

This will be my 3rd. I have always just had the spray due to the fact I want to just leave after. I hate it tbh as my gag reflex must be pretty bad cuz I am retching on the pipe for a good part of the procedure. Might go with sedation this time though
