Remington RX7 Ultimate Series Head Shaver for Men - 100 Percent Waterproof, Cordless Bald Head Shaver with Pop-Trimmer, XR1600, Black

Product Information

Some may disagree, but I consider them to be safer, more comfortable, and more practical, even though a blade will probably get you the closest possible shave. A) Wet-shaving my face and head in the shower with three days’ growth using a Quattro refillable razor blade (with a cruelty-free brush and Proraso shaving soap) The clipper is fitted with a Li-ion battery for up to 40 minutes of cordless operation. However, it will also work with the cord plugged in which is a major bonus. Wet and Dry– The shaver may be used wet or dry and with shaving foam, soap, or cream. Remington state this shaver is 100% waterproof.

It’s the reason why we don’t see any of these rotary shavers + guards — this setup doesn’t work. On the other hand, a guard works great when paired with shearing blades — beard trimmers, hair clippers and so on. I started off I buying the Remington XR1500 to start with, but wasnt that pleased with how close the shave was. Tried a Skull shaver platinum next which was even worse, fortunately I had no problems returning it to Pitbull UK. So I ended up with the Andis profoil and have been using that ever since. I always thought that shearing blades are shearing blades, i.e. that the only time you get a different length cut is if you add on guards. Am I wrong?

Highest Rated in Rotary Shavers

Remington state this is not a facial shaver, so that’s a disadvantage over the Skull Shaver. It will shave the face; however, it’s possible this will affect the longevity of the blades. The truth is, none of the dedicated head shavers are great for facial shaving as the design and large blade areas do not work well, excluding the Skull Shaver Palm and any other head shaver that only has three rotary blades. I’ve got to add my 2 cents here so that others don’t make the same mistake I did in buying a Skull Shaver product. You can achieve this by either using one machine (like the Philips Norelco QC5580) or by having two separate ones. For example, a basic/cheap hair clipper and a shaver (rotary or foil). You can even take this one step further and instead of a regular hair clipper, why not get the ShortCut Pro from Remington? That one will be even better for what you need with the wide and curved blade. And it gets really close, so you’ll have your work cut out for you when you follow up with a shaver. As I mentioned in the review, the Andis ProFoil will get you the closest shave, but it won’t be as easy and fast as using a rotary shaver like the Balder Pro.

Handle/Body –The body of this shaver is the handle. The sides of the shaver are rubberized for grip while shaving. Considering my particular use case and needs, I’m zeroing in on the Remington HC4250. (It’s a pity those rotary shavers can’t be used on slightly longer hair – they look dead simple to use. But I don’t like having to do multiple passes, and it looks like they’re pretty rough on skin anyway.) You’re spot-on about the downsides of electrics: a less close but often acceptable shave, ergonomics of holding the shaver to reach everywhere take some getting used to, and diminishing battery life. To get a closer shave with an electric, I am thinking about buying a finishing razor like the Wahl Finale, which a barber showed me once. I was nearly convinced until I just read your review. Your assessment might have swayed me to look at the Andis instead. I have a question for you about this at the end of this long comment.While the Skull Shavers as mentioned above have the upper hand in the ergonomics department, I have still found the RX5 very easy to use and move around any part of my head. When choosing what should be the right head shaver for you, make sure you’re taking into account the specific qualities of the razor in relation to your needs. For example, if you cleaned your shaver with water and didn’t allow it enough time to air dry completely, that can have a similar effect. Cordless Operation– As with most shavers, the RX7has a built-in rechargeable battery that you recharge via a power supply lead. The power cord is USB without an attached plug. The Series 9 is a powerful shaver and one of the most comfortable and forgiving you can currently get.

I saw in another comment that due to everyone’s negative experience with Skull Shaver, you weren’t going to recommend them anymore but they’re still the #1 and #2 recommendations on this list. I was specifically looking at the ES-LV67 as there was a recent special on it here in AU, but I just missed out on the special price, so I will have to wait again until it’s on special again if going with that model (unless you say the Panasonic Arc 5s wouldn’t be any good for head shaving). I was also looking at the Braun 9477cc which was also on special, but it is double the price and still a bit out of my price range (not sure if there is another Braun 9 series I could look at that is cheaper, but similar in performance?). For example, a head shaver like the Skull Shaver Pitbull is practical and will give you that smooth, bald look, but it will only work if your hair is short.With that said, there are a few options out there when it comes to choosing the type of shaver for your head. Choosing the right electric head shaver From the products I recommended above, the Remington ShortCut Pro can deal with any length of hair. Lubricating your shaver once or twice a week should suffice. Final word on choosing the right head shaver Regardless of the type of shaver you’re using (rotary, foil, clipper-style), it will likely take you longer to complete your shave and the result won’t be as smooth as it can be.
