The Remingtomn was purchased at Amazon. It was shipped rapidly and as odered. The razor is an inexpensive model and does a good job. Model number SF-3 is a single ricipricating micro screen unit. This is the second one I've had. It gave good close shaves. The trimer extention never held up and couldn't be used after a short time. The replacement screens are exorbanently priced and not available in local stores. by. Remington MicroScreen SF-3 Electric Cordless Shaver

This is about the third or fourth razor of this model that I have owned. I do not use it everyday but am very happy to have it for a quick touch-up etc. Often if I am rushed in the morning and don't take time for a "wet shave", I'll take it with me and shave in the car on the way to work or where ever. It does not give me razor burn although shaves very close. It is easy to clean and the battery lasts a long time. The small profile of the head makes it easy to shave under the nose. It likely would be a fine razor for eveyday use.
It's a good product and I recommend it.

My elderly dad requested this item. He loves it! He can use it all by himself even with his nerveousness. And he loves how his face feels, when he is done. He said top ratings.

The SF-3, which has a single-head cutter, is OK for light beards, but not for heavy or 2-day beards, and I found the trimmer to be almost useless for cutting longer hairs. The older models ,eg, SM3 2700, have a 3-head cutter and a 2-position trimmer that could be used by itself for sideburns and longer stray hairs, or in conjunction with the cutter, which is very effective in shaving, say, a heavy beard or a beard of 2 days growth. Of course, the older models are more expensive to manufacture. It is unfortunate that corporations are willing to make inferior products to maximize profits. Such is life in a faltering economy...

Let me say that I loved this shaver since it makes it easy to do around beards etc with it's small single foil. Problem is, they don't always run properly. I've had two that did exactly the same thing. Sometimes they run fine, other times they run very very slowly like the battery is dead (but it's not). All my attempts to figure out what was wrong failed. In the end I just had to ditch them and buy a Panasonic. I still like the smaller foil of the SF3 better, but I just couldn't rely on it to work when I need it.
