Costco. Infinite return policy on items like this, so just in case the product stinks you can return it. The downside is that they only carry a few shavers. But the ones they sell are decent ones.
Saw a dear friend in his final days get a shave from a homecare worker with a cheap electric shaver. They can,t use razors for liability reasons. BS. Anyway it looked so red and agitated later. I stick to wet shaves.

Costco was where I bought my Braun many years ago. It also came with a second AA battery-operated lighter one which is handy when used for travelling. For the electric one, I had to replace the foil and the cutter once a few years ago and now it needed replacing again. But I couldn't seem to be able to find the replacement foil/cutter anymore. Might have to get a brand new model from Costco again.
I don't know about Braun specifically, but the Phlips units (at least the one I have) is manufactured in The Netherlands. One thing to keep in mind is to give the razor a good hot rinse with soap (or the special cleaning fluid) inside and out after a shave to get all the dirt and oil off the head. Don't want to rubbing that junk on your face every day unless you really like acne.
I bought my first Philips electric razor in 1986 and never had a problem with it. Had to change the cutting blades I think 3 times in 16 years. Dropped it on the floor and it broke or I'm sure I would still have it. Bought another one and have only changed the blades once since I got it. First one was a gift from a gf and paid $90 for the one I have now.

Not sure why you had to change the cutting blades. In my Braun, it is the outside foil that I have to replace. It developed a very small break, and that was enough to cut my skin when shaving. The replacement kit contains both a foil and a cutter, but I require only the foil. Now, I couldn't even find a kit that fits my shaver.

I've always used Philips and never had an issue. Never replaced blades either. I just buy a new spiffy one for less than $100 every once in a while..... maybe every 5-6 years. I also always buy cord/cordless so it can run both electric power plugged in to the socket or cordless. Cordless only models can be a pain because if the battery runs out you're toast. They won't run even if you plug it in the wall. You have to wait until it charges.
But those of you on the fence, electric shavers aren't for everyone. They aren't good for people with thick hairs, and you got to shave frequently so it goes smoothly. It won't work well if you get lazy and let your beard grow out a lot. It'll just clog the circular blades. You also have to open up the face and give the blades and round covers a good wash by taking it apart and rinsing it with a gentle cleaner, hot water and a tiny brush. An electric shave will never be as good a s a good close straight blade either. But then again, I find electrics fine and you never have to worry about cutting yourself. You can be a total idiot and rub that thing on your face while you're drunk and you still can't F-up.
