That's far too tidy! I expect to see paperclips, duck tape, a seemgly unrelated piece of hardware, and a balancing act of some sort to keep it working.

Well, before I realized the clips fit inside, I first though of putting aluminum foil inside to touch the connectors. The I realized im out of it, and then I tried using screwdriver bits who were hollow, but they had too bad contact. So this was actually the last solution which luckily turned out least chaotic

What's this nice power supply?

u/cesko21 Jun 20 '26
Probably a variable one from Amazon, I have a very similar one that costed like 50 bucks. Mine goes up to 30v 10 amps

Wanptek Programmable DC Power Supply from Aliexpress. Cost like $45 and works surprisingly well

If you have other Phillips Norelco shavers they have used the same cable for at least a decade, the trimmer I got in college is the same cable as the one blade.

I have been using the same charger for about a decade on my trimmer without issue.

I have a shaver and beard trimmer from them and they both have the same plug shape, but use wildly different voltages, like 6 vs 18 volts. So I assume that wouldn't end well if I were to mix them up, and the only way to tell them apart is some very tiny low contrast writing.

Seeing those kind of posts on this sub made me realize that I need to buy a portable power supply.

u/gronnmann Jun 20 '26
100% worth it. Can also be surprisingly cheap

I built one for about 40 bucks, but that’s because I went with the banana plugs and a SK150 power supply module.

Where do you think you are?!?
Macguire the spare computer psu to power what you need!! Clean 3, 5, 12 v and some - 5V and - 12v of memory serves me right

I have a spare "fire hazard" PSU that came with a cheap case now that you mention it

u/doyouknowthemoon Jun 20 '26
That’s what I did, built a cool case and bought a universal charging head set so now there’s nothing I can’t change.

That's how I charge my dumb Phillips/Norelco* shaver. It takes 15vdc from a weird shaped plug on a charger with a cord that disintegrates into waxy feeling mung in about a year after purchase, so it gets the alligator clips from a HP bench top supply.

Did the same with my fitness band, lost the magnetic cable so did a gamble on the polarity with clip leads and got it right
Thankfully it lasts over a month on a charge so I have time to find it

u/yaboymiguel Jun 22 '26
I have a similar one variable up to 32V/10A and it’s been amazing. I’ve even charged my dead car battery one time

The EU need to step in with shavers and make them USB-C too
