Customer Reviews of Remington MS-5500 PowerClean Titanium Foil Cleaning System Rechargeable/Corded
Customer Review: 4 stars for one reason
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't disagree with any of the other reviews here, though I have so far been fortunate not to brake the screen, which I found easy to do with a previous titanium model.
Yes, this thing is noisy, and it takes multiple passes. I tried the Panasonic Linear system and that was much quieter. I also tried a nice Braun. But they both kept tearing my neck up. I could choose either not have a close shave, or live with horrendous red marks for the next 4 hours if I did.
I then tried the MS3-2700 by Remington and was pleasantly surprised. I used it in conjunction with the Remington FaceSaver, a powder pre-shave (also sold on Amazon), which really works well. Finally I had a system that didn't tear up my neck. I was impressed enough with it that I decided to grab this more expensive Remington MS-5500 because I liked the idea of not having to clean the thing by hand, or running it under the faucet every day. (With the powder the MS3-2700 had to be cleaned all the time.)
So the noise bothers me and it is not a perfect shave. But the cleaning solution works well, and adds a mild lubricant that enables the same shave as the MS3-2700 without having to use the FaceSaver powder. You have to replace the solution about every 3 weeks, but this is easier than having to run it under the faucet each day.
Also, the cleaner does have a typical male cologne smell, and though it doesn't bother much, I would prefer it to be odorless. I don't really notice the smell on my face after shaving.
In conclusion, I have to give it 4 stars because it doesn't tear my neck up, and I'm very happy about that. If they'd pop a Panasonic Linear motor in, and made the screen and blades more durable, this thing would be ideal.
