So to a new electric toothbrush.
Is there a toothbrush out there where I can
a) easily replace the battery
AND
b) buy biodegradeable replacement heads.
I'm generally coming up with one but not the other.
Am in the uk

That's a fair comment!

Most of the things I try to fix are more complicated than that - I don't always succeed but I usually learn something along the way 🙂

I watched that video to help me get the toothbrush apart and once I saw the word unsoldering I was like nope, theres gotta be a better model.
