Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With three screens that flex up and down and side to side and more blades than regular shavers, this electric razor from Remington delivers a fast, smooth shave while operating either plugged in or on its rechargeable battery. Its trimmer has three positions: one retracted, another for cutting long hairs before the screens cut short hairs, and a third for trimming mustaches, sideburns, and necklines around a beard. When shaving and trimming is completed, you can rinse this shaver under running water, a distinct advantage over shavers that require meticulous brushing. For a single shave, the electric razor charges in just five minutes. (A full charge takes one hour.) The shaver fits the hand comfortably, and it comes with its own travel pouch. Remington offers a full-refund satisfaction guarantee within 30 days, and warranties the shaver for two years against defects. --Fred Brack

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for its price, comparable to costlier models, September 16, 2001

I had the opportunity to compare the Remington MS3 2000 with the Braun 6520 Flex Integral Ultra head to head (literally!). The Remington was easy to use because of its contour compared to the Braun. Despite the latter's pivot head it wasnt as comfortable to shave the chin and neck areas. The Remington had much smoother controls, especially the mechanism of the trimmer. Both models gave close shaves on the first day itself, however, the Remington was smoother and less noisy. Considering that it is the cheaper model, it certainly is value for money. In addition, it can be washed which is an advantage.

4.0 out of 5 stars nice shave...for an electric, October 6, 2002

I have a really thick beard and have used a REAL razor for 10 years. I was getting a close shave, but that was a problem for my skin. I would get razor burn on my neck if the shave was too close. I decided to give electric razors a try back in June. I started with the Remington Microscreen I because it was cheap. It gave an OK shave and without the razor burn. I also took off my full grown beard of 6 months and carved it down to a goatee with a mustache (fumanchoo). The electric razor wasn't powerful enough to tackle wiskers longer than a couple days growth, so maintaining my goatee was easy. However, I wanted to upgrade, so after a month I traded it in for a Remington Microscreen 3 and was even more pleased by the performance of this model.

This razor cuts closer than the Microscreen I because it has 3 blades as opposed to it's predecessor's 1 blade. And, like the Microscreen I, it does not cause razor burn. It is functional as a mustache/beard trimmer also and is great for maintaining a shaped goatee. I use baby powder before I shave because Remington says that this will smooth the skin and the razor will cut better. However, it is possible to shave with this without prepping the skin.

The downs are that it is a bit noisy and that it can only shave with the rechargeable battery...when the battery dies you have to recharge for 5 minutes to finish shaving rather than just plugging it in. However, a full charge of 16 hours will last for a good week.

The ups are that it shaves close without leaving razor burn. It's also great for maintaining a beard/mustache.

I would definitely recommend the Remington Microscreen 3 to a friend!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Good enough - but only if you don't ever use the trimmer, August 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Remington MS3-2000 MicroScreen 3 TCT Men's Shaver (Health and Beauty)

I've had it for a bit under a year - no real problem with the blades, and the trimmer is decent as well, but if you use it, stubble will fall down into the locking mechanism that holds the trimmer down when not in use. Within 3 months it builds up to the point that it prevents the locking tab from engaging, meaning you'll have the trimmer in the way 100% of the time - and all the washing/shaking in the world won't dislodge it; its disassembly time. 6 small screws and a couple of pieces that are pretty nasty to hold in place while reassembling.
