A phone charger!!
OK........we are making progress, but what is a phone charger.......???
I thought you were going to say: The USB port on your laptop.
You don't need this cord, but that's the charger!
A USB charger!
They are cheap!
So............Can I just order any USB adapter on Amazon......??? Are they all the same.
These are a good choice, just a basic USB block! The shaver will come with a cord. The ends that go into the block are the same!
Looking back at the shaver, the one that is $10 more comes with the USB block and and extra head!!
Shavers usually have their on charging cord and a little stand so you can leave it sitting on the bathroom vanity. The one you posted doesn't, have to buy an adapter that plugs into a wall outlet.
Plug in adapters like Pearl posted are handy and cheap. Just buy the ones that can accept your cables. I have several so I can charge phones, laptops, bluetooth speakers, radios, in different rooms. For example, I can charge my phones in the livingrm, kitchen or my bedrm.

Just to add... you can also buy usb charging stations, usually accept usb2 and usbC cables. They come in different wattage ratings so you can charge multiple devices at the same time at one location.

I just replaced several of the electrical outlets in our house in strategic locations with the one below.

It's pretty easy. Just make sure you flip the circuit breaker before you replace it. And, remember the white wire (neutral) connects to the silver screw post, and the colored wire (hot, usually black) goes to the gold screw post. The bare copper wire (ground) goes to the green screw post.
The "Prison Cell" that they had me in this past summer had those wall outlets, I wondered what they were for. I thought maybe for plugging in European Appliances.
Thanks. I canceled the $16.97 one and ordered the other one for only $10.00 more. Thank You, big bunches.
It's one of those newfangled plugs designed to confound anyone over 26. 
Not only that but you have to pay attention to the "small" plug that connects the appliance. Some (newer type) are oval, while others are kind of rectangular. I'm on the verge of opting out of electronics for the most part.

Yes, I was going to say that and forgot. My razor still has the "old kind" with a regular wall cord that plugs into the razor with some sort of two prong plug.
It's a moot point now that you've changed your order to buy one that includes the charger, but in general you need to watch these Chinese made things with poor English translations. For example, in the description of the product they say:
"What You Get - LOBINH PA188 electric razor, USB-C cable(No adapter) ..."
But if you look at their pictures of the product, it comes (with no charger) but with a cable. That cable is USB-C on one end (the end that plugs into the razor) and USB-A on the other end (the end that plugs into your charger). So when they say it "comes with a USB-C cable", many people might assume that means they need a charger with a USB-C port. I mean, that's what the description said isn't it? But that is wrong for this razor. You need a charger with a USB-A port, not a USB-C port.
The description says you can use it plugged in. I certainly wouldn't tempt fate like that with a $16 Chinese razor. You might want to have a friend standing by to throw the circuit breaker when it lights you up, and start CPR. There's got to be a reason this thing costs less than a Big Mac Meal, and I'm betting that is not engineering design, quality control, and UL certification. Battery use in dry conditions is probably fine, but I still wouldn't get it near water. Cheap unprotected lithium batteries (that's probably what it uses) are not friends of water either. Remember that the Chinese equivalent of UL certification is "Give the device to ten people. If at least one of them survives, call it good."

What you need to do is grow a beard like the rest of us.

I searched Amazon for a new beard trimmer last week. While reading the Amazon descriptions, I had to ask my wife, "What the heck is manscaping?" She said, "You don't want to know. Just don't google the term."Maybe he's not shaving his face!!

Ding-Ding-Ding...........We have winner.
I shave my head bald. My face I shave with a safety razor. I alternate between a full (white) beard or bushy (white) mustache.
Gorgeous women ask if I am Sam Elliott.......
I tell them he is my older brother.

Ha! We all form mental images of our online friends, without having any idea what they really look like. I imagined you more like the picture below, except maybe a little more gray.
