An Excellent Shave
The shaver worked perfectly out of the box. It’s a nice size and fits comfortably in the hand and gives a fantastic close head shave. It was easy to clean and the bag is very handy to keep the shaver, charging cable and brush safe. The head is made of plastic and feels a bit cheap but overall very pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend it.
Shaves really close
So far so good. Have only used it a few times but the results are good. No rash marks or cuts to report.
Only time will tell. I had a pit bull skull shaver, good at first but then fell apart after twelve months. Waste of money and didn’t cut as well as this Remington. Wouldn’t touch pit bull ever again.
Always wet shaved for years and decided to go for the electric optionshould have done this years ago as this makes shaving so much easier, convenient, no mess and shaves just as close as a blade easily. Well recommended !!!!
Head shave
Best head shaver I’ve used. Had a few Wahl, pit bull gold pro & the Remington Rx5. The only 1 out of these that’s any good is the Rx5, but the RX7 is definitely better, smoother & cuts quicker. Only downside I would say is the blades get blunt quite quick, I’d say about 6 months. Had to buy a replacement recently for 25 which I thought was quite a lot. Also replacement blades are hard to come by. Found them in Argos but they don’t deliver & it’s an hours drive
Greta for ladies legs as well
These razor’s are great for ladies legs as well. Cut closer then a traditional
Women’s electric razor. And easy to hold in a hand for long periods of time to do legs. But is actually super quick and easy to get smooth legs with this machine.
Great head shave
I spent all evening reading reviews before going ahead with the purchase, didn’t place the order till 10.50pm, Amazon continues to amaze me, my shaver arrived at 7.50am the following morning!
Well packaged, it comes with a travel case, cleaning brush and usb charging cable. I left it to charge for the recommended 2 hours before using though it did appear to have almost a full charge already.
You can use it wet or dry shaving, but I decided to use it dry, so easy, no need to apply excessive pressure, especially don’t do this on the back neck area, really happy with the result, so much easier and less fuss than wet shaver and gel. After use the head face clips off to allow to tip the shavings away (it collects all the shavings efficiently) and you can then rinse the head and body under the tap as it’s waterproof, so again, very easy and quick to do. The head goes back together with a reassuring “click” after cleaning.
Early days, but very positive results so far, lives up to the reviews I read.
I must start by saying that I wasn’t completely bald before buying this Remington RX7 Ultimate Electric Head Shaver for Bald Men suitable for Wet & Dry Use with 5 Cutting Heads but, now I am. I recently decided to become a complete baldy after my hairless face started to become bigger and bigger. I checked out several models of head shavers from the cheap versions to ones costing over 100 before choosing the Remmington. I have to say that I am very happy with my purchase. It is very comfortable to hold, It gives a very close shave and the battery lasts ages. I bought it over a month ago, I use it every other day and have charged it three times. I’m still experimenting with wet and dry shaving. I do think wet is slightly better but often, when time is short, a quick dry buz over is sufficient to get my bone-dome looking and feeling smooth again. It comes with a handy travel pouch, brush and USB C charging cable but, no charger which everyone has lying around anyway. My phone charger fulfils this function. I give my razor a good clean after every use and use a drop of clipper oil on the blades to keep them sharp, especially after a wet shave.
I’ve got no complaints and would definitely buy another.
Positive points
1. Gives a good close shave
2. Quicker than my previous shaver
3. No irritant
Negative points
1. Battery life- Frankly pathetic
2. Re-assembling after cleaning – a major design flaw.
Conclusion –
I will reluctantly have to source a different shaver as the negatives are just too annoying.
This product is great. Like many people, I’d been shaving my head with regular clippers for years. I’d progressively moved down through the guards to using just the metal of the clippers. They were difficult to use, left a load of mess to clean up and didn’t get very close. As such, I could only be bothered with this once a week, leaving me with only a couple of days where my hair was the correct length.
This product has fixed all those issues. It’s so quick, you can fit a shave in whenever you need. I’m happily doing it every few days. It gets close, maybe not wet shave close, but very close. It cleans up in an instant. Just take the head off and rinse under the tap. The battery is great too, I think I’ve only charged it a few times in a couple of months.
I can’t recommend this enough. I haven’t tried the more expensive options or the cheaper ones. However, this seems to do a great job and I think it offers great value for money.
The only slight issue, although this will apply to all these types of products, is neck irritation. I do find if I go over the neck line once too often, it can leave some soreness. Now I’m aware of this, I take my time and don’t press too hard, it’s not as bad as it was.
I don’t write many reviews, but when a product genuinely changes a previously dull and tiresome aspect of your life for the better, you have to take the time.
As close to the skin as you’ll ge
I’m not really a prolific review writer; I generally write when things are really bad, or as in this case, really good. Bit of background, I’ve shaved my hair since I was a kid – maybe 30 years now; I progressively got shorter, not due to hair loss but because I just prefer short hair. I probably own at least 3 sets of clippers, who all professed to cut super-short – but not as short as I wanted. I finally decided to buy the Philips One Blade Pro, and I’ve been using it for around 2 years – I thought that was as short as I’d get without wet-shaving. I was wrong.
Step forward and take a bow, Remington RX7. I’d seen it online a few times and was put off by some negative comments – mostly the irritation element. I saw it on offer here on Amazon and thought if it didn’t live up to the hype then I’d just send it back. I shaved my head as normal with the One Blade, as I had more than 2 weeks of growth (RX7 says no more than 4 days/2mm). Out of curiosity, I went over my head with the Remington, just to see if it would cut any closer. OMG..! The hair (or stubble) when I opened it up was like I shaved my face for the first time in 2 days; there was loads. First impressions were certainly way beyond expectations. I checked for any redness – nothing.
I’ve now used it every day for 4 days, with zero irritation; not even any redness. It still takes me maybe 4 minutes to shave my head, compared to the advertised 2 minutes, but that could just be because I’m being too careful not to miss any. I haven’t used a mirror to check the back, you can just feel if it’s done or not, without getting any loose hairs on your hand – they’re all caught by the shaver.
Cleaning is easy, pop the front off, empty into the bin and then wash under the tap. Can’t really comment on battery life or charging time yet, but I’m a few days in and it still shows 3 bars out of 4 on the battery indicator. I don’t care how long it takes to charge, it’s not like I’ll be waiting on it.
I have 1 negative – I made the mistake of shaving the back of my neck, directly under my hairline. Unfortunately it ripped my skin to bits, so I won’t be doing that again! It felt like sunburn, ie painful under warm water in the shower and painful when my face moisturiser got on it.
If you’ve done the same purchasing journey as me, in the quest to get completely bald without a wet razor, then this is the holy grail you’ve been looking for. I can’t sing its praises highly enough. Removing the cycle of shaving my hair every couple of weeks is great, and I look like me every day now.
The only time I’ll be using my older clippers from now on is if I allow my hair to grow beyond 2mm. The One Blade will be going on a popular auction site.
This is my second Remington.
The first one lasted four years with weekly use. One of the shaving heads broke so no longer worked. This time I opted for the usb charging model as it’s more convenient than the shaving socket two pin when travelling. Delivers the closest shave of these and much less expensive than the other similar types.
For those who prefer a smooth and clean-shaven head, the Remington RX5 Ultimate Electric Head Shaver stands out as a reliable and effective grooming tool. Designed specifically for bald men, this shaver offers precision, comfort, and convenience, making it a standout choice in the realm of head grooming.
First and foremost, the performance of the Remington RX5 is impressive. Equipped with five cutting elements, including three rotary heads and two additional trimmers, this shaver effortlessly glides over the contours of the scalp, capturing and cutting even the shortest hairs with precision. Whether you’re maintaining a close shave or tidying up your look, the RX5 delivers consistent results without pulling or irritation.
The ergonomic design of the shaver is another highlight. The curved shape fits comfortably in the hand, allowing for easy maneuverability and control during use. Additionally, the rubberized grip provides a secure hold, even when the shaver is wet, making it ideal for use in the shower or with shaving gels and creams.
One of the standout features of the Remington RX5 is its versatility. With both wet and dry capabilities, you have the flexibility to shave on the go or as part of your daily grooming routine. The shaver is fully washable, allowing for quick and easy cleaning under running water, while the included cleaning brush ensures thorough maintenance between uses.
Comfort is a top priority with the Remington RX5. The shaver is equipped with advanced ComfortPivot heads that flex and pivot to maintain close contact with the skin, reducing irritation and discomfort during shaving. This feature is especially beneficial for those with sensitive skin or prone to razor burn.
Another noteworthy aspect of the Remington RX5 is its long-lasting battery life. With up to 60 minutes of cordless runtime on a single charge, you can enjoy multiple shaves without the need for frequent recharging. Plus, the convenient LED battery indicator lets you know when it’s time to recharge, ensuring you’re never caught off guard.
Overall, the Remington RX5 Ultimate Electric Head Shaver for Bald Men is a top-notch grooming tool that delivers on its promises of precision, comfort, and convenience. With its advanced cutting elements, ergonomic design, versatility, and long-lasting battery life, it’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to achieve a smooth and clean-shaven head with minimal effort.
I don’t normally write reviews, but this is an out standing product. It is comfortable and simple to use and gives a great short bald cut. I’ve had no issues with back of neck cuts or rashes, as the instructions say you do not need to press hard. Battery life is good and again you need to read the instructions and do the first two hour charge out of the box to condition the battery. You do not get a charger in the box just the USB charging cable so you can plug into anyone of the dozen USB chargers around your house or even your laptop to charge. Again the instructions are clear to only charge when it gets to one bar on the meter to again enhance battery life. Nice carry case to to drop in bag when away from home. Apparently is fully water proof but not tried that. For the price vs other brands that cost way more this is an excellent buy.
So, I’m newly bald. I have been using razors which was giving me a heat rash. Resolved that by wet shaving and then washing head with freezing cold water.
Started looking at head shavers to save some time. Was considering forking out for The skull shaver, purely as it’s so advertised and expensive. However after watching videos on this and taking a punt knowing it can be returned I can confirm it is FANTASTIC.
Slow circle motions, very light pressure and you’ll get an incredibly close shave and done in half the time. No need for the cold water wash after either, which is super surprising as I have very sensitive skin. If you’re considering buying this, then do so without any further delay. Super impressed. 10/10
Edit1: After 2 months on item no longer turns on. I used it every other day and noticed battery not lasting quite as long until now it won’t turn on at all. Very disappointing
Edit 2: Issue was with the head/blades and not the device. Basically, the device wouldn’t turn on as it went into safe mode, confirmed by turning it on with the head off. Ordered a replacement head (20) and issue was resolved. I will make sure its cleaned regularly and I shave more frequently to avoid any trapped hair in the blades that can cause a repeat of this issue.
Impressed
Been toying with one of these for a while now. Opted for the Remington for both price and solid reviews. Photos show head using clippers on left and the closer shave of the Remington the next morning. No contest! Delivery was super quick in under 12 hrs!!
No cuts no nicks.
Really recommend this if you’re sick of cutting your head. And paying out for good quality blades. Then is worth it might not be as close as a razor but it’s way way safer. I used it’s with shaving gel. Only thinly applied cuts down on friction on your scalp. And leaving a nice smooth head
Fantastic
After years of using clippers to shave my head, I wanted to try something different after my last set broke. I went for the Remington RX7 after seeing lots of positive reviews and I couldn’t be happier with my choice.
What used to take 20 odd minutes with lots of mess now takes less than 5 with no mess and gives a much closer shave than previous products I have used.
It is easy to clean and the battery life is great. All in all, this has been a game changer for me.
So I decided that I wanted to give an electric head shaver a go as was totally fed up cutting my head when I wet shaved it. I was a little apprehensive given that I didn’t think it would be as closer shave as a wanted however, I have been so surprised and have to say I won’t be returning to a wet shave. The shaver itself it compact and lightweight and glides across my head with ease. It comes with a handy travel bag also. For the price this Remington is certainly worth a try.
Just the job
I’ve been shaving my head now, for over 40 years, mostly wet shaving. I have tried other normal electric shavers, which are mostly designed for shaving the face, but this shaver is awesome. Almost as close as a wet shave, but it’s really hard to tell the difference . It’s going to save me loads in razor blades and shaving gel. It also comes with a protector for the blades, and a handy little pouch for when I go traveling. I’ve given it 4 stars for battery life, because I haven’t really had it that long, but I have no reason to doubt that the battery will last a while.
Just received and used for the first time. Having had a skull shaver pro gold for 5 months which has now failed I can say this is without doubt better, everything seemed better from the off. Also if you are considering the skull shaver, be warned, they do just fail and you will not hear anything whatsoever when you try to claim on the warranty, they will just blank you. This shaver is at least 3 times as quick, the skull shaver requires many passes on certain areas from different directions, not the case here, I’m sure after a few goes I can get the job done in around 3 or 4 minutes. It givers a super smooth shave very quickly and is also much easier to hold than the skull shaver. I have found it a little rough on the back of my neck, which was maybe slightly red for a few mins after, nothing a little mousteriser didn’t help and strictly on the back of my neck, nothing at all on my head. This is the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars. Next time I’ll turn off the turbo setting on my neck, but I would still 100% choose this over the skull shaver, especially considering the price difference, just wish I’d gone for this one before wasting over 100 on an inferior shaver from a company with zero after sales service. Buy this but just watch the sensitive areas.
Suffering the woes of uneven hair loss I shave my head. I have wet blade shaved for years, but the costs are sky high now. Decided to try electric. After much investigation I went for this one. Brilliant piece of kit. Shaves really close, feels lovely, not shiny skin smooth like wet, but pretty near. Fits great in the hand, easy to maneuver around the old noggin. I used to nick behind the ears with wet blades, not anymore. Shave every 2 days, my head takes about 3 minutes to get done, takes about 2-3hours for full charge and lasts about 3-4 weeks. Totally waterproof. Pop the razor foils head off and simply rinse it all under a running tap.
If you’re searching and investigating for the best, try this one, I would definitely buy it again if needed.
I bought this to replace my skullshaver platinum which had finally broken after 3 years of service.
On reading the instructions I was initially dismayed that it was not recommended for both face and head as I’d wanted one shaver to do both (like my old skullshaver) and felt a bit miffed that the item description on amazon didn’t make this explicit (looking at the product photos it’s implied as all the guys are bald but bearded).
That said, in use, it’s excellent and gives a faster, cleaner shave than my skullshaver ever did – only on my head though. I did try it on my face and neck and on the first day it was fine, however after three days my face and neck were really red and sore so I’ve had to order a separate shaver. Can’t blame the product for this as I defied the instructions! I suppose whether you can use for both depends on individual sensitivity.
Battery life seems great and it’s so easy to clean after use compared to the skullshaver, so I’m definitely keeping it for my head.
Comes with a USB charger, too, which is more modern than some and a nice little travel pouch.
Great shave for the larger handed among us
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.
*skip to the asterisk for TL;DR
I’ve been using a trimmer to bring my hair down to 0.5mm approx.
This usually irritated my head and I had to vacuum the debris. No biggie at the time.
I was hesitant to buy this Remington. I recall buying something similar a while back and didn’t get the results I was expecting.
This was cheaper due to Black Friday deals and I felt a bit mischievous with my wallet.
I’ve had a hard lesson of reading manuals. Even if the product is easy and functions with a pinch of common sense.
* Okay enough mumbo jumbo. Stats
Pros:
Design 5/5
Battery longevity 5/5
Results (smooth baby head, tiny stubble) 5/5
Ease of use 5/5
Durability (used it 3 times so far so good)
Con: temporary redness but *not* the devices fault. It’s metal against skin. Not much can be done. Advice is use aloe Vera or something after. Maybe wet hair a tad during use. Mine usually lasts about 30 mins tops with no treatment. Don’t press hard on your head. Seriously.
Yes. I love it. No debris. Quickly emptied in the bin. Smooth results with just rotating the device around my head for a few minutes. Contemplating life choices.
The instructions are important. My take is
– Don’t press hard on scalp.
– Don’t use on hair more than 4 days old ie long (I did before reading that. Was fine but still worth mentioning)
– Empty after a few uses
– Direction doesn’t matter. Just run it over hair.
– It’s not a toy. Not suitable for infants.
Hope this helps.
Close shave
Brought this for hubby who has tried all types of head shavers, he is really pleased with how easy it is to hold, the close shave and that it doesn’t pull hairs like other shavers have.
Very fine cu
Pleasantly surprised how good this shaver is, the cut is super fine. Like others i experienced a razor burn effect on the back of my neck. Would definitely recommend if you want a very fine bald head shave. I still prefer to use a razor for the face.
Incredible!
Oh my! I’ve been wasting so much time and effort wet shaving my head. This head shaver is absolutely incredible! Honestly. I’ve just done my head in 1 minute and it’s ever bit as close as a wet shave. I just can’t recommend it highly enough! What a game changer.
Having started losing my hair a few years ago, I’ve found myself using a traditional set of hair clippers to keep it short ever since. I was aware of these types of head shavers at the time but never bought into the hype due to lots of negative reviews, and therefore continued with what worked for me. That was until recently, when my curiosity got me having another look which led me to finding this product by a reputable brand. I bit the bullet, made the purchase and after just one shave couldn’t be more happy 🙂 I find this so much easier to use it cuts my hair shorter and does so much quicker and smoother than a traditional head shaver. This has encouraged me to shave daily, particularly because I can do so anywhere (on the couch, in bed if we’re to choose to do so) and because what used to take me 10-15 minutes can now be done in under two minutes – its just super convenient.
LIKES
* Dry & wet shave – I prefer to dry shave and haven’t experienced any stubble rash by doing so.
* Two speeds – normal to turbo with the push of a button.
* Much quieter than my traditional head shaver.
* Super easy to clean by running the detachable blade head under running water.
* Good build, feels and looks like quality.
* Reputable brand.
* 2-year warranty, extended to 3 years if you register online, which is really easy to do.
* Fits very comfortably in your hand.
* Makes for easy maintenance and super quick – If I shave daily I can do my whole head in under two minutes.
* Decent battery life and charges with a USB cable, allowing you to take & use it practically anywhere in the world.
* Value for money – for me personally, I consider this to be worth every penny.
DISLIKES
None.
It’s too soon to comment on the longevity of this shaver, however if the performance and build quality are anything to go by then I expect it will perform for some time to come (if not, the 3-year warranty provides adequate peace of mind).
If like me and you’re thinking about whether to give this head shaver a go, all I can say is go for it! It’s powerful, compact and makes shaving your head quick & effortless. I certainly won’t be using anything else moving forward and highly recommend!
Good enough I bought a second one
I bought one of these about five years ago and it was the best head shaver I’d had; it gives a nice close cut.
Unfortunately I dropped it recently and broke an important part, but I didn’t shop around for a different model as I liked this one so much. I definitely recommend it.
No issues with the seller either; quick delivery and appropriate packaging.
i am telling you i have used about fifteen different head shavers lots have broken, lots i have i sent back,so many doesn’t shave the back of my head properly some have fell apart when i open to clean .I even went back to the barbers for a short period. Then i found this beast i is totally out of this world as you may tell im not a writer i don’t do reviews im street i need to buy another one unless i can get replacement blades not checked that out yet ,two mins and this bad boys cleans my head front back and face, as they say on the stock market buy buy buy sorry i have to give credit where its due
Build quality is good
Turbo function for RX7 is a gimmick
Ordered cheaper RX5 model and it shaves like butter, has a nice build and just works.
RX7 is a downgrade in my opinion.
Fantastic shave
Can’t beat the quality compared to other, more expensive shavers. My partner’s really impressed with it. Easy to clean, gives a great close shave wet or dry, quick to charge, would recommend.
Wow
All I can say is the best shaver I’ve ever had, shaved 4 days of growth on my head in less than 1 minute.
Beats all my other shavers by a mile , I recommend this if you want a close shave.
Great alternative to raze
I got this because I get skin reactions to razers. I would normally buzz cut but it’s not the same as a clean shave. This thing has been great for me as it does not cause irritation and its much faster than shaving too for the same shave result. Battery life is good and is comfortable to use and hold.
I’ve been using it for about 6 months now and it’s never let me down. It’s easy to clean and store too.
It is slightly expensive but oh boy it was worth it. Overall amazing product.
Cutting and sharpness.
This peace is awesome. Literally chop up hair in less than 5mins and I was done. Recommend to anyone anyday. Such a silent noise when in use and super fast charging. Money well spent and pleased. I hope its durable enough.
Fabulous value
Been using shaving clippers for years
Just purchased the Remington and Wow !
What a difference closest head shave I’ve ever had & I can use for a face shave..
Quality product at a reasonable price
Highly recommend: 5 star produc
Used it right out of the box, really happy with the closeness of the shave. Closer cut than clippers and alot easier to use. Only issue was my neck. It made it really sore. So next shave I will use a little shaving gel to help with the friction. This should cut out the soreness.
Super close head shave. As short (maybe shorter..) than my barber gets with a foil shaver. Very quick. Arrived charged and cut my hair in under 5 mins (about a week’s growth) which after reading the instructions was not advised, but still cut without problems. I shall be using it every 3 days. I don’t think you can physically get a closer cut unless you wet shave with a traditional razor. 0.2mm is close enough for me. No mess or fuss and I like the pop out trimmer for a bit of beard tidying. It’s a great product.
Excellent Value
Ive just switched back to the Remington RX5 after “upgrading” to a Pitbull which I’ve since returned.
The Remington outperforms the silver pro in every department. The product feel, power and most importantly the shave are far better at half the cost of the supposed superior product.
Pretty good
Its pretty good, it does miss the odd hair and don’t shave the back of your neck because it will be sore and red raw after.
But other than that, its grea
Ok first: to do a good job it will take 10 minutes per head not what they say in the advert. Other than that yes it’s a close shave. Easy to hold, the battery life is ok, easy to clean.
Straight out of the box I was able to use this shaver. It is very easy and comfortable to use.
It is also very quick.
I have been using clippers for years and this shaver is far better. Also I am able to have a shave with it as well, though not the best of shaves.
A minus point because it needs a euro adapter which I bought (3.59 TYUI Shaver Adaptor Plug UK Charger Adapter)
You will need some after shave cream or balm. I use Aveeno daily moisturising cream.
There is a pop out sideburn attachment which I immediately decided was to fragile for use.
Overall I really like this head shaver and it does a great job.
This shaver is OK but I didn’t expect to have to go over some places with a either a body shaver or a dry razor to get a completely even shave. Admitedly I used the razor Dry as I have with the three previous 3 head machines I have had in the twenty five ish years I’ve been shaving my head but still at the price I am a little disappointed. To get a completely clean shave I will still stick to foam boiling water and a wet razor this one leaves a slight sandpaper finish which is OK.
I would probably give it a 3.5/5 rather than a 4 (but can’t do that in Amazon). It works really well in the top of the head, but it is a bit of a pain trying to do around your ears, and for some reason it causes a bit of irritation on the back of the head and neck. I watched a review that mentioned the same, but I can’t work out why. They used the boost for the back of the head, but I didn’t.
I would recommend using it in the shower. I did this for my second use and it didn’t irritated nearly as much.
The battery life is better than I thought. I’ve used it 3 times without charging it so far and I thought I would have to charge before every use.
I like the close cut, but, wether it’s because I have the kind of hair that grows in an unwieldy spiral, or because my machine is not very fast, it takes me about eight minutes to get a clean cut all over my skull. And, I have found that I always use the speed boost to keep it that quick, also I found that because I used a product(Bee-Bald) to help with shaver rash(which I only needed for the first three cuts), I found that it gummed up the shaver(it caused the two end lights of the four charge lights to flash), and I had to soak it in some warm water, so that it would run easily again(I only use a moisturiser, straight after I have shaved my skull, so that there’s no residue left to gum up the works when I shave the next day or the second day), and I wondered if that was the problem which made some people return the shaver?
Overall, I like the machine, even if it doesn’t shave as fast as is claimed, and it doesn’t sound like it’s running at the speed they say it should run, and it seems like it’s a good deal for the money, as long as it doesn’t breakdown too soon(I will update this review later if it does)
