Remington DA-307 DA307 Rechargeable Shaver

I consider this razor to be a good bargain. It gives me, rather quickly, a closer shave than other models. Slight drawbacks: it is comparatively noisy; and when it is being cleaned, if you do not hold the shaver blades carefully in place, they are apt to come off. Then, until you get the knack of it, they are tricky to replace. Price is great: I shopped and compared.

Excellent portable electric shaver with great battery life.

I bought my first one of these about 20 years ago and it was a stalwart until fairly recently when the battery died. I immediately bought another and, although the performance promises well, there was a defect on this one where the black internal oil made its way up through the cutter foil onto my face numerous times despite many cleanings as the protective rubber shoulder grommet I've become displaced. No matter what I did I could not correct it so have sent it back. I shallprobably buy another one in hopes that is properly aligned.

This is the third Remington DA-307 I've owned. I was prepared to spend more and get a newer model, either by Remington or somebody else, but after thinking about how dependable and useful the 307 has been and then reading some reviews at Amazon, I decided to stick with it. And I haven't regretted that decision!In this age of 3 or more cutters in a shaver, 2 may seem old-fashioned, but they do the job nicely and keep shaver bulk down. The 307 fits in the hand well, the trimmer works well, and parts continue to be available. (Regarding the latter, can anyone tell me why the standard replacement kits include a screen and a cutter? It's recommended replacing the screen every 6 months and the cutter every 12.... You do the math! I have been able to find just the screens online, fortunately.)I give this fine shaver 4 stars instead of 5 due to a couple of minor shortcomings: It's fairly loud (seems a little louder than my older one) and it's strictly a rechargeable type--if you run it down before finishing a shave you're out of luck, because recharging takes hours. I have learned to get around this fact by keeping my old shaver fully charged and using it on weekends when the new one gets recharged. Small price to pay in my book to have an inexpensive product that gets daily use and does its job very well.

The Remington DA-307 as been around for longer then I have been shaving,I'm 68.It started out as a non re-chargeable ( my father had one ) It gives a very close shave once your beard gets used to it.But you must replace the the foil screen every six months.Here's a tip, a new shaver cost about three dollars more then a new foil screen.You can get about five shaves or more on a charge but I like to shave with a full charge.Wash your face,then dry it. Apply some talcum power with a soft brush.I use my wife's old make-up brush but you can use the old fashioned shaving mug brush.More often then not one or two hairs that you missed on your last shave have grown too long for the foil to capture it so I touch up with a safety razor on my dry skin.The side pop out trimmer is great for us guys that sport a mustache.Don't be turned off my Amazon's low price this is one good product for the price.
