Remington F9 Ultimate Series Rechargable Foil Shaver, Electric Wet and Dry Razor with Travel Case - XF9000

Very good price over the cost of standard wet shaving. First time out a bit rough still, however, you need to grow out a wet shave beard, then use it as it should be used. Perfect finish and smother than a standard wet razor. The Remington F7 is approx £42, the cost comparison over a year:Remington F7 no extra cost.Standard wet razor blades £195.50 on current prices for a5 blade top brand.No contest. Remington wins and you get a smooth shave at no extra cost. Highly recommended, be patient and save quickly. Easy to charge, Very efficient shaving at cheaper cost and just as good as any wet shaver. But this one does both..best of both worlds.

A foil shaver works best for me so I have gone back to one having used rotary for years. Remington has quite a good name and this is a mid-range machine in the Remington portfolio. The shaver foils give a good close shave and pretty quickly hoovers up all the bristles. So far so good. However, the battery could last a bit longer I feel and when putting it on charge you need to double check that it is connected otherwise you could come back an hour later to find that it has just been sitting there without getting on with the job. The foil protection cover comes off far too easily. That is a design fault. The shaver comes with a cleaning brush but do not let the brush go anywhere near the foil. It will ruin it I promise you and the temptation is great because the bristles collect at the ends. To clean the cutting heads etc no doubt Remington will have a cleaning fluid costing a small fortune for a few milliliters but I knock out most of the debris and give the heads a couple of squirts of 99% isopropyl alcohol. You can buy a litre of the stuff on line for less than £10 and can use it for 101 other jobs such as giving a squeaky clean finish to your camera or phone, computer, CDs, torch lens, the windows of your house etc. I am told it is also good for cleaning delicate equipment such as electronics but I have not tried that.

This is a replacement for a very older model. Used Remington's for about 35 years. Still good shavers and battery life at the moment seems good. Not charged it from new and still going 3 weeks later. My last one lasted about 10 years before the battery life was lost, see if this lasts similar life. Saves close and smooth skin after a shave.

A*. Well done Remington! This is a reasonably priced razor (£49.99 here on Amazon) which shaves both fast and close. But that's not all; the travel of the foil over the skin is really smooth, which was a welcome novelty. The build quality is excellent and it just looks great too, not to mention the nice digital battery display. This is a top quality product, excellent on all the important points. I could deduct half a star for the stand and the way the charging cable protudes from the side (it sticks out a long way, see picture), but hey, at least it's got a stand (many don't), and it's a folding stand too if you happen to need that feature. But these are minor points - this quality as this price deserves the full 5 stars.

The battery indicator stopped working properly after a few weeks. It goes down 4 or 5 minutes a shave until it gets to about 30 or 40 minutes and then goes to Lo.Something is now rattling about inside the body of the razor.The razor never gave a good close shave but now is even worse. It feels as though it is trying to pluck the hairs out from my face rather than shaving off.I had a Remington razor before this and it was fantastic. A really good shave and lasted well over 10 years. This one is such a disappointment.As it is defective, I will be seeking a refund under warranty.

Best electric shaver that I’ve had. Took me back to the 60s when I remember dad using a Remington.

Bought as replacement for Remington rotary shaver (Mains powered) which did a good shave. I find this ones performance somewhat lacking, it takes twice the time to get an inferior shave. Hairs are missed, to get close I have to repeatedly shave the same area leading to soreness, it's also noisier. The fold out clipperis smaller and like its predecessor's one it can only be used in a downward motion. The rechargeable battery has a long life when fully charged.

After using the shaver on a fully charged battery it shows a low battery although you can continue to use. Battery indicator is not reliable. The shaver is not as good as my previous Remington shaver. If honest I’m very disappointed
