Customer Reviews of Remington MS3-2700 Titanium 3 MicroScreen Ultra Cord/Cordless Mens Shaver
Customer Review: Planned Obsolescence!
Summary: 2 Stars
When the internal rechargable battery dies so does the unit.
The power cord will not power the shaver once the battery can no longer hold a charge. You cannot replace the regargable battery yourself!
Sending the unit for factory repair after its warranty will cost you more than buying a new one.
As for the shave: not bad, but not exceptional either.
The cutters a very tiny, not built to last, and are not durable.
All rechargable batteries have a limited life depening on conditions on how they are used.
This shaver may last you a few months - a year, 2 to 3 years will be a stretch. I also have a braun and a norelco, the norelco is 10years old and running fine, the braun is 15 years - both have original cutters and foil - I heavy duty clean them in 97% alchohol about once a year, and brush out debris about once every 7 uses, these units dont have batteries and this is why I purchased the remington to have acess when there is no power plug available.
The Remington shaver really needs to have it's cutter blades cleaned (brushed off or washed) after every use (what a Pain)!
I find this shaver to be a waste of money as it is more akin to being a disposable electric shaver - than one that will last.
Customer Review: One repeated problem time and again.
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been kinda exclusive to Remington MS3's for a few years. They've just been had inexpensively here and there so that's the main reason I've stuck it out. But in all honesty, these seem to cost me more than I've thought in the past.
Like other reviews have stated, this razor takes effort to get close. Hair does collect on the foils and thus as I've noticed, causes the blades to bind on stubble. I'm a patient person, not usually in a hurry to shave, so again not too big a deal after a quick cleaning.
But here's the weakness: the foils are like paper, and flake holes in them.
I just purchased the 2700 right before the holidays for about 25 bucks (a good deal I thought for a microscreen 3). My other 0003 was shot and running on a foil or two (once a hole developed, and I'd rashed up my neck accidentally, I removed the bad foil). I'd bought one foil pack before and gradually went through those. So I thought a new unit was the trick.
Well, now just three months later, the new 2700 has burned through two foils and is down to two (used a foil from the 0003 when the first went out). My bathroom is riddled with these things. My patience is now out and I'm headed back to an old faithful: Braun.
Customer Review: Best shaver I've ever used
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll keep it short & to the point: this is the best shaver I've ever used. I have a thick, heavy beard that grows long quickly AND I have sensitive skin. I am recovering from surgery and needed a shaver that gave me a decent shave without a long adjustment period (because I am unable to manipulate a blade-type razor). This thing absolutely blew me away the FIRST TIME and every time I've used it since. I am 42 yrs. old and couldn't imagine getting a shave like this. It could be the era I grew up in and it HAS been a long time since I've tried an electric razor, but this thing is GREAT. Make sure you follow the instructions and I'm pretty sure you'll have good results.
1. Keep the shaver clean and lubricated (it doesn't hurt to do the same with your face and neck).
2. Use the trimmer for longer beard hairs (face & neck); pull your skin flat and use a semi-circular stroke. DO NOT press down harder to get hairs that prove difficult to trim or shave; rather, use the method stated previously.
And, oh yeah: I haven't had a problem with the indicator light. I haven't noticed it and it doesn't affect functioality.
In my opinion, this is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Customer Review: Great electric shaver for sensitive skin!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using electric shavers for 6 years now and regular razors at the same time. It was hard for me to find a balance between the two for a perfect shave. I used razors for a great shave but it took a lot of time to trim around certain areas. Electric razors were perfect for times when I was in a hurry and wanted a quick shave but electric razors have always been lees than perfect. I've always had problems with electric shavers causing burns on my neck and being difficult to shave around my go-tee. This new Titanium shaver has been a miracle. It brings together the perfection of a razor and the ease of use of an electric razor. It was great on my sensitive skin making it very easy to shave without any razor burn. The Titanium trimmer was perfect for shaving around my go-tee and did a very excellent job. I've wasted a lot of money on other shavers including expensive wet/dry shavers in my time but I've finally found the one I always wish that they were going to invent. Highly recommended!Customer Review: Excellent shaver with no downsides?
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this shaver for several weeks now. I usually let me facial hair grow a little, so I shave every 3rd or even 4th day - that way I use both components of the shaver the so-called trimmer as well as the triple blades. So, here are my comments on its performance (not necessarily in the order of importance):POSITIVE
1) Very minor skin irritation, if any at all.
2) Shaving closeness very good, but a few strokes are necessary to achieve smoothness (as is the case with every shaver).
3) Quickly rechargable.
4) Stylish-looking device and accessories.
5) Trimming works well, followed with triple blade shave.
6) Comes with a storage case/travel bag.
NEGATIVE
1) The middle blade falls off on occasion when the cap is removed to clean the blades with the included brush. Unique manufacturing error?
2) Somewhat loud.
Overall, it is worth your money. To date, I have not regretted buying it and I hope that I won't for a long time.
