Remington Power Clean System Electric Shaver

I chose this razor due to its self cleaning feature and guarantee to cut very close. Reviews prior to the purchase were excellent and it received high marks. Styling was attractive (compact and light - albeit flimsy compared to other brands in my opinion). It had plastic chrome with a rubber feel wrap/trim. To disassemble the foil from the unit to expose the blades was easy but putting it back took a bit more time to do correctly. The unit could be charged in a docking station or through a plug. It comes with a case, foil cover and brush. The power indicator was good although I really never depended upon it on a frequent basis (it was always being charged except for one 7 day trip). I have to say that the battery life was good (lasting 7 days without a charge). When the energy runs low, it doesn't have enough juice like the Panasonic Linear that it replaced. Operation is simple and the buttons are responsive. The trimmer is quite effective and one of the only features to st... Read more

I was burned many years ago and that experience left me very difficult to shave, even with no obvious heavy scarring. The skin on my face is extremely sensitive and to compound matters my beard is course and grows extremely fast.

Either or both of these methods usually left me looking like the victim of an industrial WeedEater accident with many deep and noticable red blotches far worse than most cases of Rosacia. Highly embarrassing. Enter the MS500. Sick, tired and thoroughly FED UP, I bought and went through a number of different brands and models in rapid succession. This one is the BIG WINNER!!! The difference was like day and night. As the title says, I'm looking for a backup right this very moment. Yes, it is very noisy - but I bought it FOR THE GREAT *SHAVE* not the sound. Sorry, I'm RESULT ORIENTED and I'm not one of those folks who knit picks every feat... Read more

I had high hopes for this shaver, however, I am sad to inform you, that the shaver is extremely noisy, has heavy vibration, the shaver screens are easily damaged, and two plastic pieces which hold the shaving head to the shaver break easily. Additionally, the cleaning system doesn't really work so good. Lastly, the shave is not nearly as close as it should be for the price.
