Summary: Disposable electrics
Comment: Amazon is currently offering this Remington at the same price as a replacement foil for my Braun. Since foils are lasting me no more than six months, I'm "auditioning" this Remington rather than purchasing the part. After six months I'll know better which foil I want to replace. So far the Remington has the edge--the shave is just as close as the Braun, it's faster, its more ergonomically designed, the trimmer is more practical. On the downside, the Remington's high-pitched buzz is a bit noisier, but who couldn't use some additional help waking up? And perhaps the battery doesn't last for as many shaves, but I leave the shaver plugged in so that's really no concern. So it looks like Remington will get my foil vote. On the other hand, with the rising cost of replacement parts and the deals on new shavers, it may be more cost effective to order a new shaver--maybe a Norelco (even though the latter is shaped more like grail than a lance--not reassuring to the male ego.) If nothing else, this is becoming an interesting research project, an extra incentive to get up in the morning.
[Since writing the above, I see that Amazon has increased the price by thirty percent, still twenty-five percent under the cost of my Braun and at a deep discount from the retail price. My Braun, moreover, has only a single screen. So my recommendation remains Remington--still handily outclassing its competitors in this price range.]

Summary: The foil doesn't last.
Comment: I began shaving daily with this shaver on February 13. The foil has a hole in it (which renders the foil useless) as of March 30. The shave quality is so-so. It does get close, but it misses a lot of hairs on my neck. This being my second Remington that has sucked, I'm going to try some other brands. Maybe a rotary. At least it was cheap...

Summary: You get what you pay for
Comment: This razor does an adequate if unremarkable job of shaving your face. The battery recharge life is the shortest of any electric razor I have ever owned - after three shaves you definitely need to recharge. The darn thing even quit mid shave on me once - not a thrill when you are getting ready for work in the morning. It's also by far the loudest electric razor I ever heard. If you can live with the noise and constant charging then it's okay for the price. Personally I doubt I will wait too long before I replace it with a higher quality razor. I'd have given only 1 star if the price wasn't so low. I shouldn't have been so cheap & gotten something better to begin with!

Summary: not good enough
Comment: i bought this shaver because i had had several of the round blade shavers in the past, and had good experiences shaving with the microfoil style in the past. however, when i shaved for the first time, i was very dissappointed. for some reason, the shaver seems to cut 9 of 10 hairs in any particular area, leaving very sparse untouched hairs all over my face. after going over and over my face for close to 10 minutes, the hairs were never cut. I had to finish it off with a disposable razor. having experience with many other electric shavers, i dont think my technique was lacking.
Also, this shaver seems extraordinarily loud. dont plan to use it while your roommates or neighbors are sleeping.
I wanted to return this item, but apparently my packing slip was thrown away...
