Customer Reviews of Remington MS3-2700 Titanium 3 MicroScreen Ultra Cord/Cordless Mens ShaverCustomer Review: Terrible battery life - they wear out after a few months Summary: 1 Stars
This is my 2nd Remington shaver. The first one I bought was battery only. Its batteries died relatively quickly. I took it apart and wired directly from the rectifier to the motor, but it runs very slowly when shaving, and hardly at all with the trimmer engaged.
So I bought the cord/cordless version thinking cord operation would be available when needed. Once I got it and read the manual, I noted that battery lifespan would be degraded if you operate corded. So I operated it on battery until fully discharged. Still, the batteries degraded rapidly - after a few months its less than a minute.
I suspect a corded only version would work fine.
One of the 2 razors had its trimmer pop upwards and outwards at an odd angle **the first day I had it** upon pressing of the activation button. It popped back in but periodically did that throughout its life. I developed the habit of putting my finger over the foil, sticking out over where the trimmer would be so it couldn't do this.
Oh, and the cap doesn't stay on at all, which allows the foil to get damaged. Hardly any razors I've had over my adult life have a decent cap that doesn't fall off if you put it pretty much anywhere it'll be touched by anything.
I do like the shave it gave and the trimmer works well enough.
I compare it to numerous Braun razors I've had over the years: batteries are fine (several years), but they don't tend to shave my particular face as well.
So: good shave, terrible battery life, mediocre quality.

Description of Remington MS3-2700 Titanium 3 MicroScreen Ultra Cord/Cordless Mens ShaverMens Titanium MicroScreen Shaver, Cord/Cordless, Quick Charge Remington produced the world?s first electric shaver in 1937, and continues to be a leader in shaving technology. Ergonomically styled with a no-slip grip, the MicroScreen Ultra promises a superior shave even on tough spots, thanks to three independently flexing screens that hug face and neck contours. A three-position trimmer, coated with titanium for superior strength and cutting ability, pops up to work in tandem with the screens, or alone to quickly trim a beard or mustache. 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 provides 60 minutes of shaving time, while a five-minute charge is enough for one shave. This model features a green light that indicates the shaver is either charging or charged, and a red low-battery light. Cleaning the razor after each shave is simple. Just squeeze the two release buttons, pull off the head, and blow, brush, or rinse out any stubble. A cleaning brush is included, along with a zippered, padded carry pouch, protective head guard, and a removable cord that stretches to about five feet. The shaver 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
