Great razor for decent price!, May 6, 2005
This review is from: Remington WDF-7000 Smooth & Silky Rechargeable Womens Foil Cleaning System (Health and Beauty)
This razor is pretty decent for the money that you're paying. It has gold foils so your skin will never be irritated. The shave itself is pretty close, I think it does a better job dry than wet but both options work pretty well.
It has a built in cleaner system that you plug the razor into and in 25 minutes, woila! After a cleaning the razor is an EVEN BETTER shave because it gets a special coating on it. It does a great job cleaning but you dont even need to put it to clean that often you can usually just open up the head and blow inside and you're rid of the hair!
The price is $69 dollars but it's worth it because it is the best women's shaver out there and comparing to men's razors which are from $100 to $200 dollars (I would know since I bought my boyfriend one for the holidays!)I think this is a very good deal.
I don't regret buying it, and it shaves your entire leg in around 3 minutes rather than shaving forever with those dispozables that cut and leave your leg bleeding. It's also good for the underarms, bikini area, and anywhere else you'd need to shave
Definitely good razor:
Pros:
1) Gold Foils-no irritation
2) No cuts ever again
3) Cleaner system that does a great job cleaning the razor
4) Affordable shaver
5) Works fast and saves time
6) Use in or out of the shower-wet/dry
7) Easy grip and smooth design
Cons:
1) It makes a bit of noise(nothing that too irritating though)
2) Some people consider $69 too much
Personally I think it's a good buy and it's definitely the best razor out there and it is the ONLY one that has a cleaning system out there when it comes to women's razors :)
LATER EDIT: The blade heads get dull after some use and it's very loud when being cleaned so if you want to spend more money on the blade heads which are somewhat expensive then do a little more research first.

Beats bleeding, December 12, 2005
This review is from: Remington WDF-7000 Smooth & Silky Rechargeable Womens Foil Cleaning System (Health and Beauty)
This was the first electric shaver I ever owned. After a few months of using it I can safely say I will never go back to a disposable razor again. I get a much better result dry than wet, and have never been cut or experienced any irritation even though I have extremely sensitive skin and ingrown hair.
I give it four stars because the merits of the cleaning system are dubious - it sometimes looks dirtier after the cleaning ends. little hairs that were rinsed off before putting it in the system reappear after the cycle is completed, which sort of makes sense since it is swishing around in the same tiny vat of solution, and you'd probably have to change the solution every day to avoid this (they suggest in the manual that the provided bottle of cleaning solution lasts through about 25 cleanings). Also the two slender rubber strips on either side of the foil area over the blade are almost completely worn away after about a dozen or so uses. I think these were anti-irritation comfort strips or some such, but I still haven't been cut now that they're tattered and torn.
I did experience annoying stubble in the first couple of weeks after switching from a blade but don't notice that anymore. I need to shave every day thanks to the ingrown hair situation, but this isn't the razor's fault. All in all I would recommend this product to people with sensitive skin and ingrown hair who tend to cut themselves with a blade every time they shave. If you have normal skin and don't experience this problem, you may want to save the money.

Great Women's Electric Shaver, January 8, 2006
This review is from: Remington WDF-7000 Smooth & Silky Rechargeable Womens Foil Cleaning System (Health and Beauty)
I have only ever used electric shavers and this one is by far the best I have ever owned. It gives a very close shave on the legs and does just as well with a few weeks of growth as with a few days. The under arms are closer than with any other electric shaver though I was not as impressed as I was with the leg results. The shave is close enough that I can go several days before I have annoying stubble popping back up. The blades are gentle on the skin too. The cleaning system is an ecellent bonus and keeps the shaver irritation-free. Also, this is the first electric shaver I've bought where the carrying case has enough room for the charger plug! I'm glad someone finally recognized that if you're taking the shaver somewhere in its case you'll probably want to re-charge it too...
