Remington Remington Replacement Head for Xr1500 SPR-Rx5 Razor - 200 g

Product Information

Cordless operation – As with most shavers, the RX5 has a built-in rechargeable battery that you recharge via a power supply lead. The lead has an EU two-pin plug which buyers of the UK and other countries will need to use a Type G plug adapter with the plug lead to charge it up. The RX7 only has a USB cord that can be used worldwide with the correct adapter (sold separately). It can also be attached to a laptop or other device to charge.

The RX7 has had a complete redesign, and while there was nothing wrong with the simplistic, ergonomically friendly design of the RX5 (Balder Pro), many will find the RX7 slimmer design is better. It’s useful having a warning light to let users know when the battery needs recharging, as half a shave isn’t too good is it? Around 50 minutes runtime advertised by Remington seems about right in my experience. Although I did not time it exactly, it stayed charged for the whole month I used it (shaved every 2 – 3 days).Detail Trimmer – A pop-up detail trimmer can be released from the front of the shaver for trimming near the sideburns or removing any other hair stragglers. Cost is an aspect of the comparison that matters. The upgrade of the RX7 won’t be worth a big price increase on the RX5.

While using the turbo feature, some users may benefit from this. It might be that those who shave daily use the RX7 at the lower speed. However, I just kept the turbo switched on as I want the maximum power –always. The RX7 has a slightly advanced LED indicator which Remington calls a fuel gauge. It’s better than the RX5 as the light reduces in percentage increments, so a user knows how much power is left. The RX5 is more simplistic and just shows a red light when the battery is low and green when charging. Wet and Dry – The shaver may be used wet or dry and with shaving foam, soap or cream if you choose. More about both of these methods while using the Remington RX5 further on. Remington state this shaver is 100% waterproof.
