Remington AQ7A Wettech Rotary Shower with Lithium Technology
Here is one disclaimer that anyone considering using an electric shaver needs to get in their head from the get-go: they WILL NOT ever be as good as the manual blade razor shavers. EVER. PERIOD. So don’t have overinflated expectations of them. Sure, one day we may design a fully humanoid shaving hands that can approximate (or even outclass) the human barbers, but until that day comes your manual electric shaver – even the best one on the market – will play a distant second fiddle to your humble razor. (While we are at speculating about the future, maybe one day will develop a shaving pill or something of that sort.)
So once we have that big caveat out, let’s take a look at how this shaver performs compared to the other electric ones that I’ve tested. The shaving action is decent, and unless you are going out for an important business meeting or a date you can get away with it. The shaving didin’t irritate my skin, but this is where individual differences might come in play. I’ve used it both in the shower and in the “dry” mode, and haven’t noticed much of a difference. Charging is effective, and if you put it back in the charging cradle after each shave it should be a non-issue. Cleaning is OK, but here I definitely prefer soem of the self-cleaning electric shavers. The shaver feels solidly built. It’s relatively compact and convenient for traveling purposes. I would definitely take it with me on a quick two-day trip somewhere.
If you are like me and generally don’t use the traditional shaving razor more than once every two to three days, then a shaver like this one can be a useful extra accessory to “bridge” between the full shaving days. It’s easy to use, especially if you do it while showering. Some of the more advanced electric shavers have a moderately better shaving outcome, but you also pay a lot more for them.
