Remington Electric Shaver Spares
Strengths: Close shave. Can use wet or dry. Uses AA batteries, so you don’t have to worry about replacing the whole shaver like most electrics that start losing their charging ability. Remarkably low price!
Weaknesses: None, other than it does not have a pop-up trimmer, but I assume that is possibly due to the high drain power on batteries.
Summary: I have been a faithful Panasonic electric “wet/dry” shaver user for over 25 years. I started using their shavers when I was a teenager. My skin was very sensitive, so I always suffered from razor burn when using twin-blade razors (ie, Gillette). I also tried various other electric shavers, including Remington & Norelco, but I just never felt I got a close enough shave, not to mention, I did not like splashing those pre-shave lotions on my face. Kind of made my face feel oily.
Most of you are probably too young to remember, but Panasonic introduced the first wet/dry shaver as a single foil shaver named “Mr. Whisk.” They showed a picture of the shaver running under water and another with a guy using shaving cream while shaving with Mr. Whisk. That sold me and I have been a loyal Panasonic user ever since. The ability to use shaving cream combined with an electric shaver literally saved my face.
