Remington R970B

Advantages: Great performance and features. Easy to use.
Disadvantages: None to speak of.

...INTRODUCTION I went through a phase of sporting a goatee, but was finding it increasingly difficult to keep it tidy and well maintained. The problem with normal, bog standard, manual razors is that it’s very easy to accidentally cut into your beard, forcing you to adjust the other side to keep it symmetrical. If you make enough mistakes, your goatee starts shrinking and frankly, looking ridiculous. Much to my wife and daughter’s despair, I decided to make a long term commitment to facial hair by investing in a proper beard trimmer. With Nectar points to burn, Argos was the obvious destination, and I ended up in investing in Remington’s MB 320C – for no other reason than it sounded fancy and it looked good.

...What a great little gadget The Remington Fuzz-Away is, I remember the first one I got as a pressie about 15 years ago, I'm now on my third one due to the fact that the first one I owned was stepped on and the second was borrowed and I did'nt get it back! This little battery operated gadget is used for shaving off those unsightly bobbles that appear on your clothes, I've used it with very good results on socks, jumpers, tops, trousers and jogging bottoms, But it can also be used on cushions,curtains and bedding ect and isn't just limited to clothing. The Fuzz-away is simply a low voltage battery operated fabric shaver which is small and lightweight and fits nicely in the hand. It has a perforated mesh head which is glided back and forth over the fabric until the bobbles are removed. The bobbles are removed by... Read review
