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. Other electrics gave spotty results at best and frequently required a secondary shave with a standard bladed razor.
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 feature or lack thereof. I didn't buy the MS500 because it's beautiful and high tech looking with the lighted "charge time remaining readout". I didn't buy it for the technogeek cleaning base that turns the razor on and off during ultrasonic cleaning and then recharges the battery automatically. Nope. Those features are just means to an end. I use it because it WORKS and it WORKS WELL!
It's robust and feels solid. The design is comfortable and ergonomic. I've used mine for over six months and haven't had a single glitch nor problem. The two extra built in pop up trimmers - one mini head precision foil for the upper lip and/or above the mustache plus a wide flat ctrimmer for straight edging mustache and sideburns - work wonderfully. I've had no problems whatsover. I do use a can of compressed air to pre-clean the heads and screen. Not one nick or pinch ever.
There you have it sports fans. If you're hard to shave or simply want a SUPER SHAVE, then THIS IS IT.

Sadly I love this shaver. I have bought 3 in the last several years of which: one broke in half, one the head would no longer attach, one the fasteners that hold the head on both snapped off. Repairing one with the parts warehouse I have amassed with another head and then the rechargable batteries failed. I have no choice now but to give up on this shaver. It gives one of the fastest shaves with the fewest passes and does really well on difficult neck stubble. I have tried a braun 360 and it didn't compare with this remington so I am sad to lose it. Other issues: noisy, base cleaner doesn't do a sufficient job, do not clean the base with water or the motor will freeze up use alcohol.

This is agreat product. I have one curently and when it finaly goes I wanted to have a spare, as I think remington is not selling them any more.works great shave is as good as a blade and not as hard on the skin. the cleaning station will spill if you are not carfull moving it, but it works well.

Dont buy from APEX
I bought this razor from APEX and it would not hold a charge. I emailed APEX and they would not return it for another. They instead sent me a label to send it to Remington. Read more
