Remington F 520

Advantages: Great clean shave, quick charge time, funky colours
Disadvantages: Design and position of on/off button is infuriating!

...I used to have an old Remington shaver and since that lasted about 4 years before it finally gave up the ghost, I decided to go for another. I plumped for the F510 F5 because it was on special offer at Amazon, so I got it for £29.99! Extra features for no extra cost were a big lure I have to say! Normally the Titanium series shavers come in at over £60, which would be a bit much on my budget. But let's see what you get for the extra money. The main selling point is that the F510 uses Titanium coated foils, which is meant to give a better "cutting performance" and they're supposed to last longer. Initially I was quite sceptical as I don't believe anything can replace the feel of a wet shave, but I was surprised! These titanium foils are brilliant!

...to find an alternative ceramic hair straightener… I spent well over a year deciding which hair straightener to go for and it's about a year since Ciao added this Remington product after my request and I'm glad to see there are already 3 User reviews.

I did consider other straighteners like the Hai stik straightener, which is America's top selling hair straightener retailing at around £85 making it just marginally cheaper than GHD's. The reason I... Read review

Advantages: WET TO DRY
Disadvantages: not so goog on dried hair

...I brought this wet 2 dry remington s 8001 hair straightner one year ago , from comet.for £65. It is grey in colour, it has 8 holes on the top . it has silver metalic plates. It has 2X protection . Its made in CHINA. It comes with a styleish case. and some hair clips. When I first brought this hair straigtener , I thought it wont last long , beause of my perivious experiance with other brand hair straigteners. But REMINGTON proved me wrong , its being a year and its still in the same condition as I brought it ,I also use it nearly every day. The experiance I tend to straigtend my hair when it wet, remington is very good straigtener to straigten your hair when its wet, it is very easy to straigten your hair when it wet with remington. It worms up very quickly when you first swich it on, and after straigtening your hair... Read review
