Customer Reviews of Remington R-9500 Rotary Shaver with Titanium Coated Cutters and Automatic Cleaning System
Customer Review: Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
My fiance used to have a Norelco Spectra and it never gave him the close shave he was used too from his old Braun shaver. I figured that I would get him a razor for our anniversary. Well, I will have to say that his face is smoother than ever. He did get a few bumps on his neck area, but he also has very sensitive skin and it seems everytime he switches to a new razor it does that too him. The self cleaning feature is great becuase he just hates to manually clean razors. he has not had any problems with the unit not drying quickly enough because about 5 minutes after he cleaned it he used it with no problems at all. I love the way this razor makes his face feel so smooth. He comes home with NO 5 oclock shadow which is even better. Definitly worth the price I paid for it.Customer Review: Save your money, use a wet razor

I bought this shaver about a month ago. I been using it fairly regularly to let my face get used to it. After that month I still get massive razor burn from it. It takes me at least 7 minutes to get a decently close shave with it and by 5PM I got shadow all over. I can do a better job with my Gillete Atra in half the time. I have tried pre electric shave lotions and after shave lotion but nothing helps, my face still gets red with razor burn. What is also bad is that the cleaning solution only lasts about 4 weeks and when I tried to order it from Remington directly they said there was a 3 week backorder wait time, they were out. No store seems to carry the cleaning solution at this time either. I guess if you have to have it, get it, but I prefer my old wet razor.Customer Review: Battery life is dead

This electric razor does the job when it comes to shaving. However, my one major reason for purchasing an electric razor was so that I could shave on the go. Unfortunately, this razor does not live up to the job because it never keeps the charge. When fully charged, the razor reads "60 minutes". So after a full day charging, I grab my razor and take it off the charger (stating 60 minutes) and as soon as I turn it on, it falls to "0 minutes" and does not work. Then if I plug it in, it still doesn't work. Now, please understand that this did not used to be a problem; this only happened after about 1 year of ownership. But, I would not expect this to happen after only one year, maybe after 5-6 years. Good luck to you, gentlemen.Customer Review: I wanted to like it but...

I used this shaver every day for the full 30 day trial period and found that it still required a lot of effort to get a decent shave. Achieving a close-enough shave required applying more pressure which in turn caused irritation. Even on the thirtieth day, the shave took seven minutes. I then passed over my face lightly with my old Remington Intercept and took off a significant amount of hair!. I thought the self-cleaning would be a great time-saving feature but with my old Intercept I could shave and clean up in half the time of just shaving with the 9500.
I didn't realize just how much damage I was doing to my face until I splashed on aftershave -- major burning with the 9500, none with the Intercept.
Customer Review: glad i ignored negative reviews
Summary: 5 Stars
bought it off ebay for $50 new. yes, it does take a little while to get used to---there's a good chance you will feel a little irritation at first-probably on your neck. But let me tell you something: this thing shaves a gazzilion times faster than my Braun did. I used to dread shaving, especially if i missed 2 or 3 days. This shaver is a breeze to use. I use the self-clean once a week so far. If you've ever used a Norelco, you know what a collassal pain in the butt it is to keep it clean. And it never seems to stay clean. This system is such a breath of fresh air. just push the clean button, and you're done.
p.s. I almost wonder if some of the horrific revues were written by the competition. seriously.
