About this deal

Before using and reviewing the Remington RX5 I made sure I was well-informed about what this electric shaver could and should not do, to give it a fair review. The Ultimate Series RX5 Head Shaver gives you a Close Cutting Performance for an easy, skin-close head shave.

Shave your whole head in less than 2-minutes* with the 5 cutting heads, and enjoy up to 50-Minutes’ runtime that gives you up to a month’s worth of haircuts†, with a skin-close cutting performance of 0.The RX7 is not yet available in the USA, and my guess is Remington is possibly testing sales results in Europe first. Like most electric shavers, bits of stubborn stubble are left when I rub my hand on my head after against the grain, which I am fine with when using an electric-type shaver. Bald-headed guys that want to make shaving their head to the wood easier without getting the clippers, razor, and creams out will enjoy using this shaver. The shaver is specially designed for the purpose of being used around the various contours of the head, unlike facial shavers.

When it comes to the longevity of battery life, most rechargeable types will begin to lose charge quicker after longer-term use, which will eventually be the case with the battery on this shaver. It’s better than the RX5 as the light reduces in percentage increments, so a user knows how much power is left. The whole body fits in the hand, and the sides of the body have rubber-type grips that help with holding the shaver while shaving, even when wet.

However, if it weren’t for these Remington shavers being better head shavers than a few others I have used, tested, and reviewed (including — Bald Buddy, Freebird FlexSeries, and Groomie BalderPro), I would not recommend them –based on the inadequate blade replacement service outside of the US and lack of information. Although I did not time it exactly, it stayed charged for the whole month I used it (shaved every 2 – 3 days). It’s useful having a warning light to let users know when the battery needs recharging, as half a shave isn’t too good is it? I guess the blades are made to work better on soft hair rather than thicker facial hair and the design of the rotary baldes head is too big for the contours of the face and neck.

However, while they might have improved it somewhat, I still find it close to useless, as is the case with most attached trimmers on electric shavers. uk/browse/health-and-beauty/mens-shaving-and-grooming/shavers-and-shaving-accessories/shaving-accessories/c:29257/type:replacement-heads/" on this server. The shaver is named Remington RX5 Ultimate Head Shaver (model XR1500) within Europe and Australia; however, within the US and Canada, it is known as the Balder Pro Head Rotary Shaver (model XR7000). I did try it on facial hair (Remington states it’s not for facial hair), and it wasn’t great or a close shave.The Remington RX5 (XR1500 or XR7000) Ultimate Head Shaver is a shaver that was developed with only head-shaving in mind and not for facial or any other hair.

The end result is always a shave that is close enough, but of course, not the same closeness that razors give. The blade flex of head shavers is important for maneuverability around the various contours of the head, and both Remington’s flex very well. uk/browse/health-and-beauty/mens-shaving-and-grooming/shavers-and-shaving-accessories/c:812451/brands:remington/" on this server. These cookies allow us to analyse site usage so we can measure and improve performance of our sites. Putting a product on the market without any information about the main replacement part that has to be changed is pretty incompetent.

While the Remington RX5 does not have ergonomics that are quite as good as the Skull Shavers brand it is easy to hold and maneuver around the head, front and back. Its intended use is not for facial hair or other hair, and it should not be used on hair length longer than 2mm (get your clippers on it first if it is longer). With a Hair Pocket that collects the hairs you cut, you can enjoy skin-close results with minimal mess.
