RemingtonRX7 Electric Head Shaver for Bald Men (Cordless, 60-Min Usage, USB, 5 Cutting Heads Skin Close Results (0.2mm), Turbo, Wet & Dry, Easy Clean, Waterproof, Pop-up Trimmer, Travel Pouch) XR1600

After doing my research I decided to get this head shaver. Not only is the price more than reasonable compared to its competitors, it absolutely wiped the floor with them on performance.Shave wise, it has given me razor close shave, it’s easy to use and is comfortable. I read some reviews mentioning people had nicked themselves whilst using. I honestly have no idea how people have managed this. You will have little to no idea that it is shaving your hair… it’s SMOOOTH.Outstanding piece of kit. GET IT!!

Only used once but will update.I had a few days growth and it does say 1 to 2 days so I did put it through its paces.Shaved my head dry and it was easy and good. I did need to go over some spots at the back of my head as its thicker but that's normal and around the ears.Only thing was I got razor burn like a really bad rash on the back of my neck. I put post shave cream on but after a day its still red.Maybe I pressed on too much or I'm just over sensitive. Will update after my next couple of shaves.If I keep getting a rash on my neck I'll send it back.I'm used to wet shave my head but never liked the time it took and the shiny look of 1st doing my head. Like some growth. Even looking into Micropigmentation SMP.I've head this product is good for that.Update after using a few times now, I find that I'm not getting a rash if I don't shave too low on my neck and go light, letting the shaver do it's thing.Would recommend.As I said I'm going to get Smp Soon and I'm hoping this shaver isn't overkill, meaning I need some stubble to work well with the head tattoo.It is a close shave, almost like a wet shave.UPDATE 7 months on.Still great shaver, only thing is cleaning the blades fully out, rinsing with just water and banging hair out won't work.You'll need to look up on YouTube a video of someone taking it apart. It looks complicated but it's actually easy.Have 10 mins every few months to strip it all down and clean. It'll run like brand new again.Only 2 springs you could lose that are really small, so I suggested doing this on a table or counter top. Lift the rubber seals and then it'll all be really easy. It's super easy putting it all back together again. After a couple of times you'll get used to it. The amount of hair still clogged up inside the blades was a fair bit. I found the battery wasn't lasting aslong but that's because of all the hair inside it, runs the battery low as its working harder for the blades to spin.I added a drop of oil to the blades afterwards and it cuts clean. Argos are still selling the proper heads to go with these. The manufacturer says every 6 months to change the heads. Will I noticed from then that it wasn't running great so like I said I cleaned it all and it's brilliant again.My head is that smooth after it's like I've wet shaved.

I have revisited my review of this head shaver. Downgraded from 5 star to 1.Unfortunately over the week I have owned it, increasingly won't power on; displaying two opposite charge lights when trying to tun it on. You really have to fiddle about to get the thing to start and run. All this despite cleaning thoroughly after each use. The two charge lights means safety cut-out because of excess battery load.Excess battery load with a completely clean shaver and freely-rotating cutters strongly suggests that the electronics are wrongly calibrated for the factory installed battery IMO. Battery sag or voltage drop tripping the cutout.I'll see if this can't work itself out - If not it must return it.-------I just received this. This RX7 Ultimate head shaver is very effective. After two full and thorough head shaves in about a thirteen hour interval I love it!I normally use a Wahl 1919 clipper to cut scalp stubble when it is too long. I wet-shave to get smooth bald.Sometimes you just want a quick and easy way to go for a convincing bald look.So …It is very apparent that little pressure is needed on the Remington RX7 for a good scalp-close shave.We all know what we are doing, of course. But for the RX7 I would suggest this - Start with low pressure/hand force initially. Shave your head completely. Use Straight lines, or circular motion as you need. Then run your fingertips all around your noggin to feel for high spots. Just like you would do with wet blade. Run the RX7 lightly over those areas again. Up-Down, Left-Right, Circular - It is your preference according to your hair growth pattern. You'll work it out after time. It's easy!Now - I always use a good balm after a scalp or face shave. It's good to smell nice and fresh, and feel cool. I use Nivea for men Protect and Care immediately after a head or face shave. I read several reviews where irritation is an issue with all head shavers. So I would recommend immediate application of a good quality aftershave balm that you trust and prefer, always.Then put on some high factor sun cream if you are a baldie outdoors. You know it makes sense!The RX7 is surprisingly lightweight. Not cheap-feeling. All plastic body construction.Comfy in the hand and in use.Whilst being USB cable charged and therefore easy to find a charge source globally - The shaver-side plug is proprietary. USB-A to proprietary 2 pin. You can get replacements from your Remington service centre apparently. I would hope they are free but probably not. It is probably worth securing some of these if you are a jet-setter and always plugging and unplugging.Something else to consider is that this shaver does not support USB passthrough. So you can't use it while it is on charge. The downside of this is that when the battery is beyond its service life, the device is useless. Unless you have the means to replace the battery. Or opt for the extra 1 on top of 2 year warranty.My initial thoughts are that this is a great shaver.

Bought the waterproof version recently as I was fed up of nicking my scalp when wet shaving, I have to say I had reservations as I am not a fan of electric razors for my face but I am honestly very pleased with the product.It provides a very close shave almost as smooth as wet shaving and most importantly for me does not tug or pull at the hair, I barely noticed it. I did use a bit too much pressure the first time using it which gave a little bit of razor rash but second time round I had a perfect bonce with no irritation at all. Being able to shave while showering is a gift too!It is also incredibly easy to clean, just pop the blades off and rinse. Took about a minute to do.The only point I would raise is I imagine for people with smaller hands it may be a bit more difficult as the handle is quite bulky. Other than that, I fully reccomend the razor if you're in the market for one.
