Remington Heritage Series Shaver

I can’t believe I’m giving an electric shaver a 5 star review! However, I find this Remington to be a great product.First off, let's get one thing out of the way. If you’re looking for a shave as close as a blade, you’re not going to find it in any electric shaver. With that being said, I have used quite a number of blade and electric shavers over the years, so I can speak from experience.As with any new electric shaver, it takes awhile to get the hang of getting the best results from it. This particular shaver, once you’re used to using it, gives a surprisingly good shave with less work and skin stretching than say, a Braun. It’s louder than a Norelco (what isn’t) but it seems a little quieter than the Braun that I have. It’s pretty easy to use and clean. The battery life seems very good. I charge it once every week or two and there always seems to be plenty of battery life left regardless. It gets all of the hard to reach areas, under the nose, around the cheek bones, under the chin.I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the really cool, retro style! It has that 50s/60s Mad Men retro vibe. I loved the look and style when I bought it, but was a little worried that it may be more form than function. I am however, very satisfied with the performance. The cool retro look is a fantastic bonus!One thing, which is pretty normal for Remington shavers, the foil is very thin and can be damaged if you aren’t careful with it. Whereas a Braun will eventually get dull cutters, the Remington will wear through the screen instead. This is just a normal characteristic of the brand. Each brand/model has their own features like that.I think Remington has a real winner here and certainly would recommend it. I don’t know how it would work for a guy with a really heavy, coarse beard though. My beard is not like that, thus my extensive experience shaving since I just cannot grow a thick, heavy beard.

Reminds me of my Schick razor from the 1950's . Good feel, & good looking . Good buy ,too.Takes me 3-5 minutes to shave with this razor...........it's fantstic! and so close too. A great product I'm soglad I wenr ith Remington and this razor.1

Really like this razor. No its not as good as a blade. But its darned good for an electric. Holds a charge for a long time. Charged last week and its still going. Looks great. Love the retro look. Shaves close but if you wait a while and have longer hairs it can pull some. Hence the 4 star and not 5 star rating. But overall its a good razor that cut nice. Enjoy using it. Very nice looking in person and not too heavy. Good quality. I recommend it!

After only 5 or so shaves it began getting weaker. Could feel some hairs pulling so I assumed I needed to charge it again for some reason. Now less than two months after purchase, fully charged, it doesn't shave at all from either the flip razor or the normal shaver.Also the flip razor is awkward and flimsy, and does not do details well even when working correctly.This shaver is one of the worst products I've ever purchased (looks cool though).

Remington states this product is discontinued and you cannot purchase replacement foils or cutters though Amazon's listing says the razor in not discontinued. I enjoy the razor but have had to purchase a new razor when the foils and cutters wear out.

liked a close shave with minimal effort, lightweight and easy to clean

It really looks good and feels nice in your hand but the shaving quality is just not up to par for the price. If you do wet shaving with shaving cream or gel every time, then the shave is acceptable. However, if you try to dry shave, It is quite tough to get a good shave. You can spend significantly less money on a Braun 3 series and get a much, much better safe quality. If I paid the full something like $150 for the other model I would give given this two stars but since I spent significantly less on the model I bought. I've bumped it up to three stars

I purchased this shaver because for one thing, my dad owned one back in the 60s. He enjoyed it and this new model comes cordless. I used regularly, good product.
