Product Description

Amazon.com

Remington produced the world’s first electric shaver in 1937, and continues to be a leader in shaving technology. Titanium is the company’s latest break-through. When coated with titanium, blades stay sharper longer than stainless steel for an extra close, comfortable shave. This rechargeable rotary shaver features three round heads that float independently to hug face and neck contours. These ultra-thin heads allow blades to get as close to the skin as possible. A nifty one-inch trimmer pops up to define sideburns, mustaches, and necklines. An added benefit of this razor is that it can be used either with the 5-foot stretch cord or without, and features quick charge. A one-hour quick charge gives 40 minutes of shaving time, while a five-minute charge is enough for one shave. This model features two indicator lights--one glows green during charging, and the other red when the battery is low. Weekly cleaning is simple. Just pull off the razor head assembly and blow or brush out any stubble. A cleaning brush is included, along with a zippered carry pouch and protective head guard. The high-performance 8,500-rpm motor automatically converts to other voltages worldwide, making it great for travel. Remington covers the shaver with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a two-year warranty against defects.--Ann Bieri

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Razor!, April 16, 2004

I absolutely love this electric razor. I had a Norelco, which completely went dead a few months ago. So I decided to purchase this razor. I used to spend around 15 minutes each time shaving with my Norelco, because it would not give a nice smooth shave. With the Remington R-960, I get a close smooth shave in about 2 and a half minutes - NO KIDDING!!! This is probably the best razor you could ever own. I love the one hour quick charge feature and the red light that lets you know when the razor needs charging. This item may be a little expensive for some people, but trust me, you WILL be greatly surprised with the results.

This is the first time I have ever posted a comment about a product, but I am so enthusiastic about this shaver that I feel I must share my experience. With the first use of this product, I felt as if I had come out of the dark ages of shaving. My most hated daily routine has become a joy! I migrated from blades to foil shaving 5 years ago, and thought that was a remarkable achievement, in addition to conserving blood and possibly saving my life. Although the last Consumer Reports test showed that there was virtually no difference between foil and rotary shaving, I got the bug when a local store put all their rotary shavers on sale. They assured me that I could return any shaver for any reason, so I had nothing to lose. After reviewing online comments, and wanting a cord/cordless, I narrowed my search down to the Norelco 7885XL and the Remington R-960, which was quite a bit less expensive than the Norelco. I brought them home, waited for 2 days growth of beard, and performed a "face-off." (Pardon the pun) I shaved one side of my face with the Noreleo and the other with the Remington. I felt my face and noticed no big difference. But later, I noticed that the Norelco side felt slightly irritated. I was warned that there might be a transition period from foil to rotary, so this didn't concern me. But, I never did get an irritated on the Remington side. The next day I felt my face and could clearly tell that the growth on the Remington side was less than the Norelco side. My conclusion was that I got a closer shave with no irritation with the Remington--and for far less money! My lifelong belief that price does not necessarily equal excellence in a product was again reinforced. After the first few days I went back and got another R-960 for travel, and I have been happily shaving for the first time in my life because of this great shaver. The R-960 appears to me to be better built, certainly more stylish, and comes with a sturdy, high quality case. It has a good grip and requires absolutely no pressure on my face in order to get a close shave. And no more stray hairs that my girlfriend usually discovers after it's too late to remove them. I never in my life believed that I would look forward to shaving--but now I'm in shave heaven!

I have owned Remington electric razors for over 30 years and I have always been satisfied with their quality. This is the first rotary shaver I have owned - I always got the square shaped triple foil type before this. The battery on the last one finally died and the foil cover wore out after about 12 years. The first time I used this new razor I thought something was wrong with it. It is so quiet that I thought the motor was malfunctioning. The cutting action was so smooth that I assumed that it was not working at all. Surprise - it was giving me a great shave and I never even realized it. Quiet, gentle - a great shaver... I'm guessing this one will keep me going well into 2015!!!
