The Remington R-7130 Flex 360 LCD Cord/Cordless Rotary Shaver provides a very close and comfortable shave and cleaning it is a snap!
>> Comfort
- Shaving -
The shaver provided a very comfortable shave the very first time I used it. Unlike some electric shavers, I did not feel pinching or pulling on my hair during shaving and my skin did not feel irritated after the shave.
- Holding the Shaver -
The shaver is fairly lightweight. I only have one complaint: The rubber ridges on the sides of the shaver are supposed to help you maintain a firm grip on the shaver but the rubber feels more like hard plastic, which makes holding the shaver a little uncomfortable.
>> Performance
- Rotary Shaver -
The Remington R-7130 gives a very close shave. In fact, it does as good a job as my Braun Series 7- 790cc (9595) Pulsonic Shaver shaver, which costs considerably more. I was unable to see or feel any stuble after a shave. The shaver also did not leave any patches of hair, which is a problem a lot of rotary-type shavers are reputed to have.
- Pop-up Trimmer -
The pop-up trimmer does as good a job as the best dedicated trimmer you can find out there! The width of the trimmer is “full-sized”, and not scaled down like it is on my Braun. It was delightfully quick and easy to trim my sideburns to keep them looking kempt. The shaving compartment is deactivated while the pop-up trimmer is in use so the shaver won’t inadvertently take off any hair, which is a problem I have with my Braun.
>> Ease of cleaning
Cleaning is easy: The hinged comparment holding the rotary blades pops right open and you can rinse the blades under running water.
>> Looks
Despite the shaver being constructed almost entirely of plastic, it looks rather elegant and sophisticated. The shaver does not come with a charging stand, so the front and back plastic might incur some unsightly wear over time if you’re not careful to lay it on either of its rubberized sides after use.
>> The Verdict
Personally, I really prefer a foil-type over a rotary-type shaver because I find that I’m able finish the job much more quickly with the former - but that’s only because I lack practice with a rotary-type shaver. With that said, I will not penalize the Remington R-7130 Rotary Shaver based on my personal bias. In fact, I am very impressed with the outstanding shave/trim the Remington R-7130 Rotary Shaver delivers — it definitely deserves five stars!
