Remington Clean X Change Disposable Foil Shaver Customer Reviews
This model has been discontinued by Remington, so it’s now available at a very low price. While I think it was way overpriced for what you got at the original price, at the current steeply discounted price it is well worth a look. (Some brick and mortar stores are selling it below ten bucks)
It gives a traditional Remington close shave. Remington foils are not nearly as gentle as a Braun or a Panasonic, but you’re rewarded with a very close shave. If you’ve never used a Remington foil before, be prepared for a few days where your face may feel a bit sensitive.
The head (which contains the foil and cutters) is designed to be disposable. Keep in mind that the indicator light that comes on is based on a simple counter – you can certainly keep using the razor after the indicator light comes on. To save money, you can just keep shaving with the same head until you feel that you’re not getting as close or as comfortable a shave as you did at first. I’ve found you can easily get 60 shaves per head without any problem.
The shaver itself is somewhat cheaply built – lots of plastic and no where near as solid as a higher end shaver. But, you’re not paying the higher end price either! The biggest drawback is that it is loud. Really loud. We’re talking leaf blower loud (OK, bit of an exaggeration, but this is not the shaver to use if someone else is sleeping close by).
I use it as my spare shaver, and my take-to-the-gym shaver. Just toss it into a bag and not have to worry about cleaning it ever.
Remington is not known for long-term durability. Don’t stock up too much on replacement heads since you probably won’t get years of service out of this. On the plus side, Remington has great customer service and will send you a new shaver if yours breaks.
At this price it’s worth buying two just for the spare heads (each razor comes with two heads). You won’t be wow’d with the quality of the shaver, but it provides a good, close shave without spending much money.
