Pros & Cons
Pros
This is a terrific very light and small shaver that packs a punch. The remington cuts the private areas excellently and the guards work flawlessly. Great gadget to have in your bathroom cabinet.
Philips qp2520 has 3 length combs, the remington 4. Remington durablade gets the stubble length just right for my skin. At the moment i have a goatee which i trim with the 5mm comb, cheeks are clean (use without comb) this remington beard trimmer is e... Read More
It is easily recharged from any usb socket via the short lead supplied. I borrowed the adaptor off my samsung camera and plugged it in. Holds it's charge for a good length of time.
Cons
It takes several passes for a clean shave, or even trimming, the remington due to this is much harder to use. This results in difficulty cutting new hairs.
Some of the recently marketed super wet shave blades are total rubbish. It's just about okay at the edge work, although not easy to control where you want it. It performed no where near as well as my regular wet razor.
Highlights
Quality

Competitiveness
The remington solves all of this, it's small, easy to use, light, a doddle to clean and gives the perfect length.
I just hope the blade lasts as long as they say as its unremovable.
They really sound to me like competitors trying to sabotage sales of rival products by poisoning reviews.
I am unsure of the statement that blades never need to be replaced, but there is a 5-year guarantee.
