New NiCd battery in small appliance, internal charger/inverter. Should I discharge it, then fully recharge for best long-term performance?

Purchased a new NiCd razor. It has an old-style external (1.5 volt DC wall plug-in/cheap Chinese) charger/inverter.
No apparent "controller" or regulator like the more modern LiOH batteries and regulators.

Will I gain anything useful by fully discharging it to 0.0, then recharging? Or just plug-in-wait?
