Following on from my previous review of a Remington shaver (see That was a Close Shave 1st June 2002), I needed to buy some new blades for it. I went to the Remington store in the McArthur Glen Outlet Shopping Mall in York (North Yorkshire), where I bought the razor.
When I asked about buying the 3 replacement blades, the very helpful assistant pointed out to me that for about Ģ6 GBP extra I could purchase a brand new shaver. This I did and bought the Remington Fasttrack Titanium Rotary Shaver Model R-950. Alright, the sales assistant got a better sale, but the pop-up trimmer on my old razor had stopped working. So, in the end, I think I got a great deal. The cost of the Remington Fasttrack Titanium Rotary Shaver Model R-950 was Ģ47.99BGP which is Ģ12.00GBP cheaper than the normal recommended price.
My personal choices of the main features of the Remington Fasttrack Titanium Rotary Shaver Model R-950 are:
Cord/cordless rechargeable shaver. I find this is great as it can be used for mains and non-mains use, especially when I want a quick shave and I am not near a mains plug.
A green light charging indicator. This is good, in my opinion, as this lets me know when the razor is charging.
16 hour charging facility that gives up to 40 minutes of cordless shaving time. I can vouch for this, as, while it takes me about 3 to 4 minutes per shave, the full charge lasts me about 2 weeks or sometimes longer.
The razor has a 100-240 volt range. This means that I can take it anywhere on holiday, such as to Europe, US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
One of my favourite aspects of the Remington Fasttrack Titanium Rotary Shaver Model R-950 is the easy to use pop-up trimmer on the back of the razor. I can flip it open to trim my sideboards and around my ears when my hair starts to annoy me there.
One of the best reasons why I purchased the Remington Fasttrack Titanium Rotary Shaver Model R-950 is that it has a unique Fasttrack cutting system. This means that the razor has 2 sets of blades in each of its 3 floating heads. I have found that I get a really close shave, thus enabling me to look clean shaven for longer during the day. This close shave comes from the speed at which the rotary heads spin. This speed is 3300 rpm, which Remington claim is more than some of the other rotary shavers on the market.
The other main reason I bought the Remington Fasttrack Titanium Rotary Shaver Model R-950 is that it comes with Titanium blades. On my previous Remington the 3 floating heads were separate, thus I would have to buy 3 sets of blades. In the Remington Fasttrack Titanium Rotary Shaver Model R-950 the floating heads come as a single unit containing the Titanium blades. Again, Remington claim these are supposed to last longer than the conventional blades. I cannot say if this is true at the moment, but only time will tell.
The Remington Fasttrack Titanium Rotary Shaver Model R-950 comes with its own soft carrying pouch and cleaning brush. By the way, I find it is very easy to open and clean the blade area, and have got into the habit of doing this once a week.
The final great deal that I have come across with the Remington Fasttrack Titanium Rotary Shaver Model R-950 is that it has a 2 year guarantee.
I can certainly recommend this razor to any potential buyers.
