Customer Review :

Nice idea poorly executed.

While I think the idea sounds great in concept, there are a few issues with this shaver that prevent me from giving it a positive review.

First of all, the razor does not shave as well as other ones that I have previously used. I find that I have to go over the same area twice as many times as I would have to with other brands (even other Remington's that I have used). It does end up doing the job, but I waste more time on a good shave with this model.

Secondly, the foil seems to leave a coating of dirt on my skin after use. I can see this result because I always use an astringent with a cotton square to wipe my face down after a shave. The cotton square is literally black after I use this razor. I even tried my old electric razor for a few days to see if it would be just as dirty -- it was not. I can only guess that it has something to do with the nanosilver technology used for the foil, but the way it is represented as "preventing bacteria growth" I would have expected the cotton square to be less dirty.

One aspect I don't understand about the replaceable razor head is you never have to clean it, just throw it away when you it fills up. I know on previous electric razors I have used, when I clean them after every shave, I have to run a small brush between the blades because hair easily builds up in that area (preventing a closer shave). Since you can't get inside to clean this, how is this build-up between the tiny blades prevented?

At any rate, it's not a perfect razor. If you don't mind a longer shave and a dirty face, the idea of changing the razor head every month may just appeal to you.

Great Shave

This razor gives me the best shave that I have ever gotten from an electric shaver, and I have tried many of them both foils and rotary. It is priced right and you don't have to buy special cleaning products, just replace the head every 30 days. The heads are also inexpensive and you have a new razor every time you change the head. No clean up, the head catches the whiskers and since you change the head every 30 days there is no mess. The only drawback is that the razor is loud, but I still rate it a five since it gives an excellent shave and a very resonable price.

Very god job

I've found this to be the best electric shaver I've owned since my great uncle gave me my first one over 40 years ago. There is no razor burn on the neck, and the face feels as smooth as the throat. My wife loves it, and after all that is why we bother to shave in the first place isn't it, to get closer to our women?

Perfect for lazy shaver

This razor is perfect for a lazy shaver like me who gets careless about cleaning the razor.

DON'T BUY THIS SHAVER

I have had a rotary previously from another brand which worked fine. The RPMs on this one are way TOO SLOW, so you have to move it slowly over your face and still it pulls on the whiskers, not a pleasant feeling dragging something over your face that is getting caught on the whiskers and tugging on them.

And I have a less than average beard, certainly not a heavy beard, hate to think what average or heavier beard feels like w/ this shaver.

I'd give it zero stars, but Amazon makes you give at least one star just to post your review.

Poor choice

Amazon wouldn't print my first review. Have no idea why. This was not a lemon folks. I foolishly exchanged this item 3 times to prove it. The exchanges were done without problem.
The razor is powered by a single AA battery. The battery's life decays quickly in the first thirty days making it mandatory to recharge almost daily. It will not work corded. You best bring your charger unit with you even on short trips.
The exterior design is good. The weight and feel are good as well. The shave is excellent for the first few weeks but after that, it's all downhill. The country of origin may be a factor.
It wouldn't cost much to correct the problems and make this a great razor. Add another battery,use a Mabuchi motor, change the circuit to allow corded use and install better quality cutter heads. Are you listening Remington ??

Poor Remington quality

I purchased this shaver to replace an existing Remington shaver that I had for a couple of years. I couldn't find any replacement blades for my shaver so I decided to buy another Remington, assuming the quality would be as good as the one I had. Wrong, this shaver is so crummy I had to do a double take to make sure it was actually a Remington. It needs a charge every other day and even fully charged it runs like the battery is completed discharged. Into the trash it goes. No more "anything" for me with this company's brand on it.

Good shaver

I have an average beard and have used remington rotary shavers for 35 years. Two years ago, I bought this r450 not noticing it was not a lift & cut. As a result, it doesn't shave as close as my previous razor. Other than that, it is a good, reliable, economical shaver. It lasted 3 weeks on a charge initially and after 2 years still lasts 2 weeks. II'm just now buying new blades. FYI, I tried a foil shaver last year and was so disappointed that I'm back to the rotary. (The foil shaver cuts nice, but drops cut whiskers everywhere and, if I skip a day, it has a very hard time--misses several whiskers regardless of how many times I go over it. Not so with all the rotaries I've had!)
