Questions & Answers
It's small and simple to operate. There are probably smaller shavers on the market, but I've been using this one for years with no problems.
This item comes with a brush, which you should use first, followed by removing the shaver head and dipping it in alcohol to sanitize it, then drying it before reattaching it to the shaver handle.
Ascertain that the top is pointing in the right direction. As you're putting the top back on the razor, press the small release buttons on the side. That ought to be sufficient.
This isn't supposed to be taken away.

I charged it the day before I left for my honeymoon, and it was still charged last week! It appeals to me. It was extremely effective! But here's a tip: shave either before or after you get in the shower or bath. If your skin is dry, a battery-powered razor will shave closer. I wasn't planning on using it as a wet shaver, but I discovered that using it as a dry shaver results in much better hair removal. When I used it before I got my skin wet or damp, my legs were much smoother and softer. The color is exactly how it appears in the photo. It appeals to me. I've always used a disposable razor, but I decided to upgrade and try a battery-operated one, and I'm glad I did!.
However, you should be aware that Amazon does not sell replacement heads. This is my first electric shaver, so I'm pretty excited about it. I'm prone to ingrown hairs, and I'd tried everything else before this: Waxing, depilation creams, and manual razors are all options. I even tried a half-laser, half-razor device I found on Amazon, but it didn't work. This method was slightly more effective than the others. After using this shaver a few times, I did notice a slight improvement in my ingrown hair problem (though I'm not sure if it's because of the foil shavers in general, or because of this one in particular). I liked that it didn't hurt most of the time, and that, unlike a traditional razor, it was easy to use and almost enjoyable. It is relatively simple to clean. It appears to be attractive. The charging station is spacious and well-designed. I've never run out of battery power while shaving (but I always keep it charged when not in use). Once I figured out how to use it properly, I was able to get a pretty close shave. Especially on the legs (photos taken today, about 4 hours after using this shaver)br>br>- But, for two reasons, I'm returning it. One, the replacement heads are not available on Amazon, and they cost around $26 on the Remington website. That's completely absurd; I'll just keep buying new ones if I have to. Two, despite the fact that it works well on bikini lines, when I tried to do a 'Brazilian' shave down there, it cut me very badly in some of the most painful places. And, I don't know about you, but I'm in desperate need of a shaver that can get rid of it all. It's not just about the edges. br>br>If you only want to shave your legs and don't mind spending a lot of money on replacement heads or buying a new one every month, this is the shaver for you. It's fantastic for legs! I would go somewhere else for more intimate shaves. It's not as if there aren't any places to look! I've spent hours searching the internet for a new shaver, and nothing compares to this one for my needs. It's starting to irritate me that men only have to shave about one thing and have a billion different electric foil shavers to choose from, whereas women have to shave practically everything and have no normal shavers to choose from! More choices are needed!.
This is fantastic for all-around enjoyment. Days smooth out the wrinkles in the most delicate areas. In every way, this is far safer than using a razor with open blades. I like that I can use it in the shower, but it also works well for touch-ups. Ups should be dry (a little powder will help). Because it has to be used slowly, I don't use it on my legs in the shower, but it's great for dry, out-of-the-shower skin. touch of the shower- Legs-ups are a great way to get your heart rate up. It's simple to maintain and use. We'll have to wait and see how it turns out in the end.
I finally decided to spend a little more (in the $20 range), and I am so glad I did. I don't have to shave the same spots over and over like I did with the cheaper shavers. This shaves my legs in a matter of minutes and is very easy to use - Neither too light nor too heavy; neither too large nor too small. It's just right, and it's a great value for the money!.
It was purchased as a gift for a adolescent. She appreciates the fact that it doesn't "pull. " She has extremely sensitive skin due to eczema and has had no problems with this razor as she has with previous razors. Granted, no electric razor can shave legs as well as a traditional blade razor, but it still provides a great close shave. I borrowed it from her and was blown away by the results. This purchase has exceeded our expectations.
Smooth glide, and it works well with the shaving soap I buy at my local health food store. It appears to be of a reasonable weight. The almond oil strip is one of my favorites. I understand why some people object to the noise, but electric shavers are loud. In comparison to my old Ladies Norelco dry shaver, which I've had since 1977, this one does not appear to be as noisy. It's important to remember that this is only used for about 5 minutes three times a week, depending on how quickly the hair grows, so the noise is tolerable. This is one I'm not returning!.
I was let down. It wasn't even close. Even with multiple passes, it misses hairs. It comes with a carry/storage bag, but it's barely big enough to fit everything in. The screen/blade keeps popping off the head of the machine and has to be snapped back on.
I had the older model of this razor for 8 years, and it was fantastic until it died last month. I needed a replacement and thought this would be just as good, but after only one use and disinfecting it with alcohol (due to an unfortunate toilet accident caused by my eight-year-old) and allowing it to dry completely for a full 24 hours, I noticed it had already started to rust, whereas my old shaver had never rusted in all those years and certainly not after just one use. Buyer beware; it's possible that they've changed the type of metal they use or something else because it's not the same.
