Have used this razor since Jan.'08 and it has been performing flawlessly since then. The June '08 issue of a leading Consumer Magazine has just rated this MS2-390 a "Best Buy", second only to the Braun 360 at $170.After the initial 2 or 3 charge/discharge cycles to improve battery memory, it provides me with over 20 three minute shaves every morning, which more than lives up to the advertised 60 minute run time. This will vary, depending how you choose to keep this unit charged. I run it down completely and use the cord to finish up if the batteries run out before I finish. Then recharge it for 24 hours for the next cycle. The red low charge light will come on about half way through and the speed will slow down perceptively during the last half of the cycle, but will still shave until batteries are fully discharged. If you use the quick charge feature, at least once a year fully discharge and then recharge 24 hours to prolong battery life. Be sure to brush the cutters and blow off the screens after every shave.(I do not recommend using water to flush out razor cutters.) Do not expect too much from the trimmer except to get the occasional whisker that escapes the daily shave or to trim the sideburns. It is too bulky to be of any further use. After all, this is a razor to shave whiskers with and not for haircuts and trims. This Remington should provide many years of use as did my previous one. Even after the batteries are fully depleted, this razor will still work via the plug-in cord.***** REVIEW UPDATE, April 16, 2011: I have just placed my order for another Remington MS2-390 Shaver to replace the one purchased in January, 2008. After a little over three years of daily service, the switch has broken and must be held in to keep the razor running. This has been the only mechanical problem so far, other than the battery run time has been declining over the past year or so, but that is to be expected with this type of rechargable battery. I have only replaced the screens once, about a year ago, and really probably did not absolutely need to do so at that time.Why am I buying another of the same model ? 1. It has given me very good service every day, over the past 40 months and at a cost of $60.00 still comes out to be a fairly good buy. (about $1.50 per month). The second reason: When I purchased the first model at Amazon.com in 2008, I also bought an extra set of replacement screens and cutters at the same time. Let's hope the new one lasts long enough to actually need them. R. E. W.> > > > April 20, 2011 : Upon reading my Review Update of 4/16, it appears that the switch became inoperative due to a defect, when in fact it was the rubber cover over the switch that deteriorated and was about to fall off. In an attempt to repair it, I put a drop of Duco cement in between the switch and the rubber. After I did that is when the switch had to be held IN to work. Apparently I messed up the latching part of the switch mechanism by inserting the glue. My fault and it should be noted that the razor itself is still in perfect mechanical working order except for the switch. Sorry if I mis-led. R. E. W.* * * * September 14, 2011: An Ounce of Prevention. If you notice a slight deterioration of the rubber that is the switch cover, here is how to fix it.1. Buy a bunch of fresh broccoli that has the stems held together with a wide elastic band.2, Cook and eat the broccoli (it IS good for you) and save the elastic band.3. Put the elastic around the razor to go over the switch. This should prolong the life of the rubber switch cover and if it should begin to go bad, it will hold it in place.Hope this suggestion is of some value to those using this razor. R. E. W.

I have now used the razor for about 3 weeks and am very satisfied with it. I bought a Braun first, and stopped using it after about two weeks, because of poor workmanship and poor shaves. I then ordered this razor and wish I had gotten it to begin with. I think this is probably the best razor I have owned in over 55 years of shaving (I am 72 years old).

I ordered this razor on Amazon and when I received it I quickly learned the pop up trimmer was broken. Now you're probably wondering why I would give it 5 stars if it was busted upon arrival. Here's why.I was so impressed with how close the shave was and given the little use I'd get from the trimmer I considered keeping it but decided to return it. I'm the type that likes to see what I'm buying so instead of dealing with shipping cost issues I decided to head to Target to find this razor. They do not sell this model so I opted to try the Braun 3 series 340 model. This has the Triple Blade (two foils and the cutter in between the foil meant for longer hairs.) Although the build quality seemed better the shave was not even close to as smooth and this went back in a day.I then stopped in a Fry's store and found the Remington MS2-390 as well as the Panasonic ES8043 model and decided to try the Panasonic. It boasts the sharpest blades and most aggressive cutting angle at 30 degrees along with a super fast 13,000 RPM motor. The Panasonic had the same Triple Blade Shaving system as the Braun 340 and the same type of shave.Both the Braun and Panasonic caused minor irritation and left significant amounts of stray hairs on my neck that required the use of the trimmer to clean up. After 2 weeks with the Panasonic and the use of my old Norelco rotary (shaver I'm trying to replace) to finish up the neck area, I returned it. I went back to Fry's and bought the Remington MS2-390 again. The pop-up trimmer works this time but don't expect it to fling into action. When hitting the buttons it slowly eases its way into position.With all this said the important thing is the shave. The Remington shaves soooo much faster and soooo much closer than the Braun and Panasonic. There is no reason for debate on which shaves closer. I realize that different beards require different types of shavers but the difference is so astounding that I can't imagine someone getting a better shave with the alternatives than with the Remington. One more thing to note is the cutters and overall head of the shaver is considerably wider on the Remington than the Braun and Panasonic so it requires a lot less time to shave.This is probably a lot more than you cared to read but take it from someone who has tried the shavers in this price range. GET THE REMINGTON!!!
