 Best electric shaver ever! Feb 27, 2008
By Lisa Shoup
Without question this is the best electric shaver I've ever used. I read the warnings about how it might take 3 weeks before I got a close shave but I have to say that the very first shave was just about as close as I could get from a regular razor and now, 2 days later, I can just barely begin to feel some stubble. It's comfortable, a nice weight, it holds a charge well and it recharges super fast! It's also easy to clean, comfortable in my hand and I just couldn't have asked for anything better! I'm completely thrilled with it. As someone else said, don't bother spending more on a "fancier" shaver, because this one will give you everything you could want. I recommend it without reservation!!

Outstanding! Takes a Licking and Still Works! Jun 30, 2008
By delicateflower152
I was so tired of replacing razor/blade heads on the Schick and Gillette non-electric models that are sold in the grocery/big box stores. The blades alone were close to $5 for replacements, so I thought why not try an electric. So far, I'm delighted. This razor shaves smoothly in the shower and I experienced no razor burn on either my legs or underarms. I asked my husband about this complaint and he said the user was pushing too hard instead of letting the shaver glide over the skin's surface. Maybe that will help someone else. Anyway, the first time I used this, I dropped it - my hands are a bit klutzy. I was really upset because I thought I'd ruined my new shaver. Fortunately, it was simple to put it back together and it ran just fine after my accident. My only criticism is that replacement blades and a replacement head are more expensive than just buying a new razor. Guess when the head and blades need replacing, I'll just junk the old razor and get a new one.
Six weeks of using this razor have only confirmed my initial opinion. It shaves smoothly, without irritation, and does an outstanding job. I use it in the shower, soaping my legs before I shave, and I've had no issue with stubble or razor burns. In fact, you'll find yourself shaving more since it's so easy. I'm definitely a happy camper!

It's just like my first one ! Sep 17, 2007
By R. Kauffmann
My wife was looking for a new Ladies shaver at about the same time I was for a mens shaver myself. I found a Remington Mens shaver that I liked and my wife wanted a Lady Remington just like the one she has had for over 5 years , so I ordered hers at the Same time A Remington WDF 1600 Ultra Shaver . She has been very pleased with it, and asked that I get her a second one for our daughter so she can get hers back, my daughter likes it as well. My wife is a satisfied Remington WDF 1600 Ultra shaver user, oh yes and so is our daughter. A great ladies shaver at a great price.

 Disappointing Sep 18, 2008
By Gary L. House
I purchased this razor based on the reviews I read. I noted that one woman complained about irritation and welts, and that another woman said her husband claimed that the woman experienced irritation because she pressed down too hard with the razor. That husband doesn't know what he's talking about.
I tried my new razor on my underarms using almost NO pressure. The irritation was horrible, and I was left with red welts. Bravely, I used it on my legs. I had no irritation whatsoever on my legs, and got a very nice shave.
The underarm irritation lasted over a week. Once the irritation was gone, I tried the razor again. (I thought that maybe the irritation came because it was the very first use of the razor. Also, the instructions say that it takes three uses for your skin to get used to the razor.)
Unfortunately, I again experienced irritation. It was not as bad as the first time, but was present for over a week.
I don't know if eventually the razor will stop irritating my underarms or not, but I am disappointed in the product. I have owned electric razors in the past (dating back to the 1970's) and have never experienced irritation like this with a new razor. This is the first electric razor I have purchased in at least a decade.
I gave it three stars because it does shave nicely on my legs (and even the bikini area - if you are gentle and careful), but I really needed it for my underarms (the hair grows faster and is more obvious there.)
I hope this review helps you make an informed choice.

Update: I have used this razor several times on my underarms, and it is not getting any better. It pinches and "bites". I would never have purchased this razor if I had known that I could not shave my underarms with it.

I agree, this is a GREAT electric razor for women Jun 18, 2008
By Kelly
I bought this electric razor mainly based on the great reviews I saw here on Amazon. I had not owned an electric razor in about 15 years, mainly because the razor I had didn't do a very good job (it wasn't a cheap one, either). But there are times when you want to be able to shave your legs quickly without the shaving cream and all that, so I decided to try to find a better razor this time around. THIS razor; however, is great. It shaves close and I found it very comfortable. I like that it is rechargeable, cordless, and easy to handle. The price is great too, no need to spend more ....
