Remington Titanium SmartSystem R-9500

Pros: Baby butt close shave, and automatic cleaning!

Cons: Flimsy pop-out sideburn trimmer.

The Bottom Line: Just buy it! Clean, close shave. Self cleaning. Great price.

Review: Well, well, well... the old Norelco has led a long and glorious life, but she just doesn't "cut it" anymore. I'm in the market for a new electric shaver! I spent hours, on Consumer Reports, reading epinions.com reviews, looking over the stock at ...

Pros: Nice design, digital, clean smooth shave, cleans itself and holds its charge a long time.

Cons: None

Review: I got this Remington Titanium shaver for my husband for Christmas. This is the first electric shaver that he really liked. The rest he just trashed within a few months cause they never cut right. With the Remington Titanium, the shave is close and ...

Pros: Great shave and self cleaning.

Cons: Cleaning solution is expensive but worth it.

Review: I have been a Norelco man my shaving life with my recent purchase being a Quadra action which didn't shave close at all. I purchased this Remington shaver 2 months ago and it has been awesome. The closest shave I've experienced with an electric. ...

Pros: Self-cleaning feature is very easy and effective; quality of shave is good.

Cons: Cleaning fluid will cost about $50-$60 per year, plus the shaver is expensive to buy.

The Bottom Line: The self-cleaning feature (which gets the shaver VERY clean) and good quality shave make this a very good shaver. Expect to pay about $50-$60 a year on cleaning fluid.

Review: This shaver is a 3 rotary-head shaver with a unique feature: It comes with a base that allows it to clean itself. I've had mine for about 7 months now, and it's been reliable, giving a moderate to high-quality shave with minimal skin irritation. ...

Pros: It looks cool, It self-cleans, It looks cool!

Cons: Flimsy trimmer, cleaning solution can be hard to find

The Bottom Line: It's not great, its not a Norelco, but I like it. It just depends on you skin and your facial hair. Some people it may work better for then me.

Review: I know the razor you use depends on your skin. For me, I purchased the Remington R-9500 because it was self-cleaning and the ego thought it looked cool. If I could do it again, I would go back to a Norelco. For me, the Remington shaves close and ...

Pros: Close shave, superb cleaning system, looks 007 ready

Cons: Loud, trimmer looks ready to break, cleaning cost could add up

The Bottom Line: Recommended product for anyone looking for a great, easy to use and maintain electric razor.

Review: When I first started shaving in my teen years, my father used an electric razor (non-rotary style). I tried using that for a while and found that the good old fashion blade was a better option for me. Well recently, life has gotten a lot more hectic ...

Pros: Close shave. Self-clean works with a replaceable filter.

Cons: Battery of units on sale now may be old and not hold charge

Review: I bought the unit 16 May 2007 and tried it for almost a month. The battery would not hold its charge more than 12 minutes. Battery should hold charge for full 60 minutes (handy when travelling). I also experienced a close shave with razor burn on my ...

Pros: Nice looking, decent cleaning system, holds a good charge, 2-yr warranty

Cons: Prone to razor burn my skin, doesn't shave close, wet/dry seals apparently aren't the best

Review: I had many problems with this shaver. First, it never did shave closely and (second) I got *major* razor burn, even after using the razor for a year and a half. If I spent more time trying to get a closer shave it was worse. I looked like I got third ...

Pros: Easy to hold and shave with.

Cons: Not a close shave, doesn't clean well or hold up over time, VERY loud.

The Bottom Line: Buy it if you want a self-cleaning unit but don't expect great results.

Review: I got this shaver for Father's Day 2004 and have had it for over a year now. This is my second attempt at a self-cleaning shaver. I had a Braun self-cleaning shaver before (which wasn't too hot either). I have sent this unit back to Remington and ...

Pros: Shaver by itself very good. It gave me a close shave

Cons: The so called cleaning cycle did not work at all. Very poor design.

Review: I found that the cleaning cycle of this Remington shaver was very poor. In fact it did not work for me at all. I found the shaver to be just as dirty after the cleaning cycle as it was before I cleaned it. For the price I paid I thought the feature was ...
