Remington MS 280 REVIEWS

Remington MS 280 Excellent shaver for a close shave
Remington MS280 is definitely an excellent electric shaver. It gives you very close shave without any irritation to the skin. I had a bitter experience with Braun shaver before, I couldn't complete shaving at least once with that and it irritated my skin a lot if I apply more pressure. I know elecric shavers requires a little skill and each shaver will differ on how much pressure you apply to have a closer shave. Remington definitely suits me, I can have a very close shave within minutes with out any irritation. I love this shaver and I bought another for my dad.

Remington MS 280 Good shave, disappointing foil life
I purchased this shaver with the hope of getting more life out of the foils due to it's 'titanium-coated' foil. Well, forget that...the first set of foils lasted about a month.
And believe me, when they begin to wear through, you DO NOT want to keep using them. You may end up with nasty scratches on your face!
((Mind you, I shave my head too, so your foil life may be longer than mine.))

That said, this IS a darned good shaver, performance-wise. It shaves faster and every bit as close and comfortably as my Panasonic 8228 which was 4 times the cost. Another plus: the replacement foils/cutters are quite reasonably priced at around 20 bucks...AND they are available at most department stores. (Unlike Panasonic.)

Remington MS 280 Great shaver, great price.
I was not pleased with the performance of the Panasonic shaver that I bought. I found this Remington for $26 and based on previous experience with Remington, I bought it.

It is not as quiet as a blade or a Norelco. Duhh.

It shaves close, so close you may draw blood if you use it improperly. If you draw blood, you have gone beyond shaving your beard and are now removing skin. You don't need to use a lot of pressure. Move a little slower to get that closer shaver.

A triple foil shaver would be the only improvement, but at a higher price. I have one and compared it to this shaver. The triple foil gives a quicker shave, but that's the only advantage.

If I had to buy another shaver, this would be it. This model or one above it.


Remington MS 280 Titanium Powerful and useful when wielded correctly
This electric shaver is like a very sharp kitchen knife. In the hands of a skilled chef, a sharp kitchen knife yields quick, precise, and efficient results. In the hands of a novice, it yields bloody stumps where fingers used to be.

If you have terrible dexterity, skip this razor. It's too powerful for you.

But if you have decent hand-eye coordination and you can understand the phrase "moderate pressure", then this shaver is as good as it gets.

I have used every type of electric shaver from every major brand, and I have settled on this as the most efficient in terms of cost, time, and results.

In 3 minutes, this will deliver what takes over 5 minutes with a $130 electric shaver. And instead of hassling with blade replacements and deteriorating battery life, you can just buy a new razor every few months because the MS280 is so darned cheap.

Bottom line:
This electric shaver can quickly deliver a great shave and it's cheap.

All around, it's the best electric shaver I've ever owned.

Remington MS 280 Titanium A great shave at a great price
I've used a Norelco for years but wanted a second electric shaver for travel (and to see what I might be missing). I saw this Remington, looked at the price and made the purchase. I'm glad I did.

Pros
The price is unbeatable. I did not have to take out a second mortgage to buy this shaver.
You'll get a great, close shave.
It's a tough, no frills shaver. Think muscle car and manual SLR.

Cons
The first charge takes hours and hours. (After that, perfect.)
It's loud. Some neighbors might think that you're mowing your lawn. The crazier ones will wonder why you put sod down in your bathroom. Better to avoid them.
It's not a toy. Press too hard against your skin, and shaving becomes surgery.

Bottom line: Would I purchase it again? You bet. Great value. Great shave.

Remington MS 280 Shaver Perfect!!!
This is the exact same razor that I currently have. I bought this one to travel with. The shipping was great the price is right and I love it.


Remington MS 280 Best Price, Works Fine.
It works fine. It seems to give me a good shave.Very pleased with the product.It's an improvement over the last one I bought thru Amazon.

Remington MS 280 Best Price, Love it.
I love this razor. I get a fast close shave for a fraction of the cost of those expensive foreign razors. It shaves closer than my old rotary razor. I charge it on Sunday and it lasts all week. The razor fits my hand good. I would highly recommend this razor.

Remington MS 280 Best Buy, Liked it so much, I bought another one
Gives a superior, close shave even when I go a day without shaving. The shaver feels comfortable in my right hand. Love the two-position pop-up trimmer. Yes, it may be loud, but I think it's because of a powerful motor. My old one (had for years) needed replacement so I immediately bought a second one. It is the only electric shaver I've ever used. The only drawback is that the blade screens are not as easy to replace as the instructions indicate. Replacement screens & blades are available at my local Target store and maybe other stores as well but I've never looked. Shopped all online outlets and Amazon had the best price. The charging cord is coiled like a telephone cord so it stays neat.
