Customer Reviews of Remington MS3-1000 TCT3 cordless shaver

Customer Review: High Quality Product, but average shaver
Summary: 3 Stars

That's how I ended up choosing the Remington MS3-1000. The replacement foils/blades are easy and cheap to obtain, and the packaging advertised that you could clean the shaver by running it under the tap.

The MS3-1000 itself is a very well made product, that I'm sure will last a long time. Battery life is exceptional, easily lasting well over a week. It is also easy to use, as far as shaving goes.

Cleaning the MS3-1000 isn't as easy as I thought it would be. While both the foils and cutters can be run under the tap, Remington advises cleaning the cutters with a brush, and seems to discourage running the cutters under the tap to clean them. Actually, the user's manual kind of contradicts itself on this issue. On the one hand, it says cleaning the cutters under running water is OK, but on the other hand it says not to immerse the shaver in water, leading me to believe that it's probably not a good idea to rinse the cutters under the tap, unless you remove them from the shaver first (which would be a pain if you had to do THAT every time you shave). So at first I tried to rinse the foils and -brush- the cutters clean. But the cleaning brush Remington includes is hard to use on the cutters. The bristles of the cleaning brush are so soft that they easily get caught in the cutters while you are trying to clean the shaver. This makes cleaning the cutters with the brush difficult.

As far as shaving goes, the MS3-1000 works good, but does NOT shave as close as Panasonic foil type shavers and Norelco rotary type shavers that I've used in the past. This is not just noticeable right after shaving, but also at the end of the day, when I have more (late day) stubble than I'm used to.

Overall, the MS3-1000 is a good shaver for the price. I'm used to shavers that are a bit easier to clean and offer a closer shave, but I'd gladly settle for this Remington model that offers adequate performance in a package that isn't too tough to clean or find replacement blades for.
