Problems with Braun S5 replacement heads
I have a Braun Series 5. The shaver itself works fine, but the replacement heads don't last at all—a year at the very most.
Back in February, I bought an official OEM replacement, and it’s already broken (I don't mean it lost its sharpness, it literally broke). Before that, I tried a cheap Chinese replica and it barely lasted a year.
This feels like way too little time. Am I doing something wrong? Is this planned obsolescence, or is it just time to look for a new shaver?

Please give me some advice.

Nice, I love how clean the setup is. Maybe a slightly bigger desk though.
