Remington R-7130 Flex 360 LCD Cord/Cordless Rechargeable Men’s Rotary Shaver Review

The Remington R-7130 Flex 360 LCD Cord/Cordless Rechargeable Men’s Rotary Shaver is a pivoting electric shaver that could deliver a clean and comfortable shave even at awkward angles thanks to the Remington’s advanced Pivot & Flex technology.

To get a clean shave, the shaver rolls over the chine and jawbone easily and blades maintain constant contact with the skin with the help of the flexing mechanism.

The Remington R-7130 blades are made with titanium coating and Teflon protection that deliver a nick-free shave. The titanium blades are resistant to dulling and their Teflon surface helps to prevent cut, scratches and irritation.

More area can be covered by the three rotary heads and this also ensure a much faster shave. To make shaving comfortable, each of the heads move and flexes independently. The blades are completely washable and they can be rinse quickly and easily under running water.

The R-7130 is easy and comfortable to grip thanks to its ergonomic design. Apart from that, the handle is covered in rubber to ensure secure grip while shaving. The shaver also features an LCD that displays the battery life and a pop-out trimmer to trim sideburns.

The shaver is powered by a NiMh rechargeable battery when operated cordlessly and the battery requires only two hours to fully charge in order to provide up to 60 minutes of cordless shaving, enough for 30 shaves. The shaver has also a quick-charge mode which gives the battery a time-saving boost.

The R-7130 accepts universal voltage so it can be used worldwide and it comes with Remington’s two-year manufacturer warranty.
