Good shaver but requires a transition period to get used to it., April 16, 2006
This review is from: Remington R-950 Titanium Rotary MicroFlex Cord/Cordless Mens Shaver (Health and Beauty)
I wasn't sure what to make of all these conflicting reviews but I needed a shaver and this shaver represented a pretty good value. I took a chance and I don't regret it.
Having switched from straight edge to electric in the past, I knew my skin needed to adjust to the new treatment. Right in the box from Remington is a red warning tag that says exactly that. The first few shaves were rough ... my skin felt and looked raw in a few patches. Not a good experience and frankly it's what I suspect most of the negative reviews here are based on. However, having made this transition in the past I was intent on completing the adjustment.
Well, it's been two weeks and shaves are fine. Better than fine, the shaves are very close leaving a wonderfully smooth face. The irritation is almost completely gone and really only appears when I'm too vigorous on parts of my neck with tender skin. I consider this more my fault than the shaver's.
Electric shaving isn't for everyone. Furthermore, there are shavers which will treat skin more tenderly but not produce as close a shave. Given the variety of faces and shavers there is no "one size fits all". However, if you like rotary electric shaving, you don't have overly sensitive skin, and you want a really smooth close result then you should consider this shaver.

One smooth shaver!, February 27, 2004
This review is from: Remington R-950 Titanium Rotary MicroFlex Cord/Cordless Mens Shaver (Health and Beauty)
I bought this shaver for my fiance for Christmas. He loves it. He is normally a blade-shaver and was very happy and surprised to find that he could get such a close, smooth shave with this razor. It fits comfortably in his hand and holds a charge very well.

Best shaver I have ever had, May 23, 2006
This review is from: Remington R-950 Titanium Rotary MicroFlex Cord/Cordless Mens Shaver (Health and Beauty)
I purchased this shaver - I admit I was a bit concerned with some of the other reviewers complaining about it being rough on the face and neck. This shaver is awesome and I have had no issues with it being rough. It is very light weight and cuts my beard quickly and easily with very little pressure applied to the skin. I VERY lightly run it across my face and neck and it gives me a very quick close shave. I'm done in no time at all. I have used Braun and Norelco in the past and this shaver beats the previous shavers I have had hands down. I would highly recommend it.
