Customer Reviews of Remington DA-307 Microscreen 100 Men's Rechargeable Foil Shaver
Customer Review: Good and Cheap
Summary: 5 Stars
Very good razor. Used Norelco Rotary models for 25 years and was fairly happy with them. That is all I had ever used or tried. Thought I might try a foil since it was cheap and had a 30 day return. Amazed at how much quicker it is than the rotary models. Shaves way closer...no comparison! I can't imagine getting a closer shave. For $25 it is an unbelievable shaver...not sure why anybody would pay more. My shave time was cut in half if not more. Rotary model was slow...foil very fast. One to two passes at most on face...Chin and neck take a little longer.
Weaknesses...makes a mess in the sink and doesn't do as well on the neck or under the chin, but neither do the rotary shavers. I guess I could pay more for the model that cleans with water. That might be worth it. Bargain price at Wal Mart.
Customer Review: I have used this razor for a long time
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, the other reviewers weren't so kind to the DA 307 model Remington Microscreen 2. I have used this razor for over a year and a half and have never had any problems. Granted, I am one of the lucky people that do not have extra-thick beards. It takes me well over 24 hours to get a decent "5 o'clock" shadow (and I am a 38 year-old Caucasian male). It has always provided me with a close, comfortable shave - not at all like the others here describe. I used to use Wahl electric shavers exclusively. This one made me 'convert' to Remington.... I am currently in the market for a replacement screen (the original one has lasted me this long) - and it's cheaper (on ebay) to buy a whole new razor than to buy a new screen.Customer Review: Great Shaver

I'm convinced that you can't get a better shaver for $25 than the DA-307. I've been using this razor for about 3 years. I've tried the other razors that claim to give you a super-close shave, ie: norelco 3-head, and I find that their idea of a super-close shave is to strip the skin off and give you razor-burn. This razor will give you a close shave but you'd have to try very hard to give yourself razor burn. It also has a flip-up hair trimmer which works great for the sideburns and stray hairs. I've replaced the blades several times and it still holds up well.Its small enough to fit in your carry-on and though I've never tested the limits of the battery, I've gone through 5-6 shaves without charging in between.Customer Review: Cadmium rechargeable battery issue
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very happy with this razor, for a short time.
The cadmium battery that comes with the charger has a very limited useful life.
Cadmium batteries, for those who do not know, have a "memory".
Unlike Nickel Metal Hydride batteries, the Cadmium batteries do not charge back to 100% and will continually decrease its charge capabilities over time.
My razor did not make it past the 6 month mark. I will charge it for days, and it will feel like the battery is charged at about 20%. 20% power does not effectively work.
Do Not Buy! Get a corded razor, or one with a Nickel Metal Hydride battery.
Customer Review: Excellent shaver
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the DA-307 several weeks ago when my 20 y/o XLR-800 finally gave out. It had always given such a good close shave that I was skeptical that a new one would do as well. I was wrong: the DA-307 is even better! It's the closest, most comfortable shave I've ever gotten from an electric. It's also lighter, less noisy and more maneuverable than the old one. Just remember to use no more than moderate pressure, keep both heads flat to the face (don't tilt at an angle) and clean the heads at least once a week. Observe these simple rules and you'll get the best shave you've ever had.
