" ... Like the close shaving you get and able to use in the shower. ... "
" ... It was a tad clunkier to wield and took a tad longer to get a decent shave. ... "
" ... Now I am replacing a 10-15 year old Braun, but this razor is much quieter. ... "
" ... Great for head shaving ... "
" ... Battery charge lasts for at least a weeks worth of shaves. ... "
" ... A decent electric razor. ... "
" ... I have owned both Remington and Braun shavers. ... "
" ... Had norelco, this is a much better shave. ... "

" ... The center trimmer works and cuts all length stubble well. ... "
" ... I have used Remington razors for many years, and this one seems to be the strongest yet. ... I also love the fact that I can just plug it in and keep shaving once the battery life ends. ... "
" ... I like that it shaves my grand pop beard well ... "
" ... Seems to work just as well as my higher priced Braun. ... "
" ... I was skeptical about the "Intercept Technology" for cutting longer hairs, but, it works! ... "
" ... Best Remington razor I’ve ever purchased . ... "
" ... Would reliable cut hair. ... My Phillips Bodygroom that has a single foil shaves closer than this double foil, unfortunately. ... For my facial hair, I would much prefer a smaller, nimble shaving head. ... "

" ... Battery lasts through multiple shaves. ... Battery indicator is quite useful. ... "
" ... I have had another Remington for about 15-years and it still works great, but battery is shot. ... "
" ... It has a charge indicator. ... "
" ... This one falls towards the top of my price sweet spot., but it has a nice battery charge gauge and works as well or better than more costly shavers. ... It has one feature that shavers in this audience mostly do not have: a nice battery gauge. ... "
" ... I also like that there's a battery meter, and a quick charge function in case you forgot to plug it in and need to shave right now. ... "
" ... This razor actually does what it's supposed to, no razor burn and awesome battery life. ... Love the battery life indicator that tells you when to charge. ... "
