For the first time in ages, I can actually say I enjoyed having a shave! The reason for this is that you can hardly feel this shaver; the head is made of Teflon so it feels smoother and it also pivots, so you can shave anywhere around your face very easily. Even around the usually troublesome neck area - you get great results! It is so good that I almost got away without using the trimmer at all - which is a first! The end result is a smooth close cut and this is remarkable considering you don't feel like you just had a shave. Other plus points are it being cordless (obvious but still a great point), the sleek design so it is easy to hold, the smooth operation so it is quiet, the LCD screen which tells you how long the shaver charge will last, the easiness to clean (just rinse the head assembly with warm water) and the ability to quick charge or to use it directly from the mains through the power cord.
My only worry is the price it will cost to replace the head and cutters once they wear out. Remington says it would take around 12 months before they need replacing so if that proves to be the case then it shouldn't be a big concern. The actual shaver has a full two-year warranty. Final Conclusion - This electric razor gets the job done! It gets all the stubble and then some. My face feels almost as smooth as a razor and cream shave. Easy to use, easy to clean, and I would definitely consider this as my electric razor of choice. This shaver is truly amazing, it makes shaving an easy task and maybe even fun!
Quiet, Smooth Shaving, Cordless Razor
Best Rotary Shaver

The Remington R7130 gives the best shave I have ever seen from a rotary electric razor. I work in a hospital and shave many people, so I have used a wide array of razors. I would highly recommend this to someone looking for a rotary electric razor. No, it will not give you as good of a shave as a blade, or a foil shaver, but it is gentler on sensitive skin, and faster and easier than shaving with a razor blade. My first impression was that it looks cool, and it was comfortable to hold. The body is lightweight, but sturdy, and the rubber grips on the side are a nice touch. To test it, I shaved half of my husbands face, and then I had him shave the other half to get his opinion, as well. He has sensitive skin, and can grow a beard while you watch. After shaving with this, his skin felt smooth, and he was surprised by the lack of irritation to his skin. We were both happy with the closeness of the shave, and the ease of use.
It arrived charged, so I was able to use it right out of the box. The LED readout shows how many minutes of shaving time you have left on the battery. The three heads are flexible and move around, plus the piece that they sit on pivots in all directions, facilitating very good contact to your skin, even on rounded areas of your face. I think this improved contact is what makes for a closer and consistently better shave, than I've seen with other three head rotary razors. The Teflon coating seems to really work. My husband's skin gets irritated very easily and he had no problems from this razor. I loved that you can rinse it out to clean it, and that it isn't as noisy as similar razors that I have used. The heads are easy to remove and replace. You just hold them down and twist to the right to remove them. To replace them, a small dot shows you where to line them up to twist them back into place. The pop-up trimmer on the back is handy, too.

My husband had been shaving with a Norelco, but like all electronic shavers, the blades don't stay sharp forever and he's never ever replaced blades, he just gets a new razor, usually in December. I know, because I'm the one who buys them, wraps them and puts them under the tree. This year I got a shaver and needed to review it, so he got his razor a month early this year. I did wrap it though. So, how did he like it? He seems to be liking it just fine. The Remington has a digital display that counts down the minutes remaining of the battery's charge, a nice touch. It can run corded or cordless, and the charger is compact. A full charge lasts 60 minutes and takes 90 minutes to charge, with a 5 minute quick charge available if needed. The shaver is also water resistant and can be rinsed out under the sink after every use.
It only takes an hour and a half to charge and it stays charged for an hour, so if he's traveling, he can just toss the razor in his overnight bag, knowing he's good to go for a week or more. He says the shave is as smooth as any he's ever received from an electronic razor and he likes the pivoting, rotating heads, the way they glide on his face and he especially likes the little digital screen which tells him how much time he has left on his charge, that's a nice touch. And he says it takes less time to do the job than it did with his Norelco, and it must be true, because it seems like he's only in front of that mirror for a minute or so. So, all in all, all things considered I have to say this is a five star razor.
