Remington Heritage Series Shaver

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.

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.

Glad Amazon will take this back. I did not think the trimer was good enough. It was also awkward to push up the trimmer in position to work. It wiggled more than other razor/pop-up trimmers I've had, like on the Braun. It also feel BIG in your hands. The Braun 3040S trimmer is very firm and sturdy and only cost me $35. The old style design on this Remington was not worth the extra money.Glad I switched to a less expensive Braun model.

It's an average electric razor and no replacement parts are available even though the price is high. It's basically a cheap razor made in China. My opinion is that the company is going to file for bankruptcy or "reorganize" and this is a last ditch cash grab. As a Remington customer for over 40 years my advice is to avoid this product.

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

ok

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

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