I lost the cable of a baby bliss trimmer. They have proprietary plugs that are about the same price as the trimmer. Moved away from them when ASAP...

Coincidentally, I just got a knock-off Soda Stream from Phillips. It's over $150 cheaper and works 2x-3x times better. I wanted to build something similar for a homemade soda bar concept, and discovered how truly cheap it can be to make soda and carbonated water at home. I was shocked at what a simple concept it is, and how much of a profit these sodas water companies make. Phillips even charging $50 for their system is a total rip-off.
Truthfully, I think the increase in quality in the Phillips machine is due to fewer parts is an "exception that proves the rule" as these in-bottle carbonators seem to work better with fewer parts. It's just a pressure hose connected to a co2 tank. Literally, all of $6 if you were to build one yourself from parts on Amazon (or $3 if you got he Alibaba route)
I truly believe that the fewer parts the better in any DIY or commercial product due to the less chance of a failure in a part if there are fewer parts. This works fantastically for the "lower quality" producing companies, like Phillips.
My inventive and engineering entrepreneur friends and I call this "fewer parts the better" concept, a "Murphy's law compensator" as the fewer parts there are, the fewer parts that can statistically "go wrong"
Also very environmentally unfriendly. Shame on you, Philips!
From what I can tell, the non-USB OneBlades charge at 4.3V, not 5V.
It's probably a small enough difference that a 5V charger would work fine for the 4.3V shaver, but it wouldn't work the other way around.
Any change in the dc input/amps? Because that’s the only reason I would give any credence to it.
Please update the post with the facts from the data sheet OP
Remington also have different plugs for different models.
I saw a phone company make a trimmer, they used to do the same but now they are using USB c
After realizing both shavers and cordless toothbrush chargers are going this route, I gave in and installed these in the bathroom

The electrical code in my area requires using GFCI outlet for outlets within a certain distance of water source. I don't remember precisely the distance (and it likely vary a bit by jurisdiciton), but i know that in my bathroom, there's nowhere beyond it.
In order to use that sort of outlet in a bathroom like mine, it would have to have GFCI protection as well as USB, be a second outlet wired to the GFCI protected terminal of a GFCI outlet, or be wired to a circuit breaker with GFCI protection built in, in the electrical panel.
I have the cheapest Philips shaver. It is pretty mid. It came with its own charger. On the shaver's side it looks like a standard ungrounded 220V female connection. But it actually is some propriety DC thingy. Very annoying. Why not just use USB-C?
Yep. It's not too easy to find usb-c shavers yet though :/
My travel trimmer takes a AA battery and I just keep a little USB charger for that.
I've seen rechargeable batteries with micro USB ports in them so you can charge the battery directly, you don't even need a charger. I thought that was pretty nifty.
