Is A Woman's Rechargeable Razor Less Dependable Than A Man's?

Imagine this secnario if you will.
Your husband gave you a rechargeable razor for Christmas as a stocking stuffer. You told him that you needed a new razor and he bought you one.
Thoughtful husband wasn't he? He was trying to make your life a lot easier by buying you a top of the line product from a reputable, reliable and established company.
You obediently follow the directions and lo and behold when you start using the razor you notice that the one day recharge cycle only allows you to obtain 10 to 12 minutes of product use. You have to make the major decision of either shaving your legs or your armpits but not both.
Since December your shaving routine has been disrupted by a razor that apparently does not meet the requirements that a typical customer demands and expects. You ask around and other female friends and associates report the same results. Hmmm.
Could this be a product conspiracy? Have the razor companies, well established firms with their own Research and Development departments , inadvertently forgotten to poll women to determine if the product offered is adequate to do the job?
Do these same companies subconsciously want women to not buy their much advertised product and choose an alternative grooming method for their needs?
Should women purchase two such razors...one to serve as a backup for the other? A man's rechargeable razor only needs a few minutes of charging and he can easily get at least three maybe four shaves from the effort.
Admittedly a man's beard requires more power under the hood to do the job but a women's razor has more territory to cover in a greater amount of time.
What would a man do if his razor was this undependable? Would he use creams, lotions and facial hair removal kits to get the job done. Would he let his beard grow and become indifferent to shaving altogether?
Womens' razors used to be the kind you plug in the wall and use. The Lady Bug razor was one such model. Now the trend is towards rechargeables that allow you to shave in the shower safely. You may be able to shave easily in the shower but the time allotment to do the job has been sacrificed. That doesn't seem right.
Do the manufacturers of these products feel that women are too addle brained, too inexperienced to shave with a shaver that connects directly into an electrical outlet?
I wrote to a few manufactuers and am waiting a reply to this puzzling situation. I'll post the results at a later date.
It's amazing to me that women who are just as competent and flexible as men would be seen as being incapable of using a razor that could be plugged into a wall outlet and provide the power needed to do the job completely and safely. And they call this progress.
