| ziprz's Full Review: Remington MicroScreen DA-407 Electric Shaver |
Hey, this is by far the most well designed electric razor I've used. I just want to know one thing, why does the charge last under 2 minutes? Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Maybe the internal battery on this thing is one of those ones with a "memory". You know the ones where you have to use it completely up before you charge it back up again. In any case, as soon as I unplug this razor from the wall it sllloooowwwwwllly starts wearing down, until finally it doesn't even run anymore.
OK, so you have to shave plugged in. I didn't need the cordless feature when I bought it anyway. This razor is outstanding. It is extremely comfortable in your hand. It has a really nice looking design. Not that you're going to want to walk around in public with your travel bag unzipped just so everyone can see the shaver that you're sportin'.
You get a very close shave from the two foil system. It seems like I have to go over the same spot more than once to get really clean shaven, but I've come to expect that out of any electric razor. The foils last far longer than my Braun ones ever did.
The sideburn trimmer is the best I've ever used. It flips out with a little switch and and extends out from the side of the razor. This clearance makes it easy to see the cutting head as you make precise cuts. This trimmer cuts coarse hair very well on the first pass.
All in all this is a great razor. If cordless is important, I'd look elsewhere.
