Hello, if anyone can help that would be great. Does anyone know where I can get the replacement springs for the shaver? I took the shaver off to clean and 1 spring fell out and I can't see it anywhere. I've only just bought it and Remington said they don't stock the part. Thanks in advance.

[@shavingadvisor]

@SaqMatador Damn. I can't think what spring came out. The best company to try is Remington, but you said you tried them. I think it is best you return it for a replacement from where you purchased it or Remington.

[@SaqMatador]

@@shavingadvisor Thanks for the quick response. There are 2 very small ones underneath the coils which I'm presuming are for the flexibility etc. They are opposite each other under 2 of the coils. Best way I can describe it 😞 Remington's response was a bit meh to be honest. Never even mentioned to me to return it etc.

[@shavingadvisor]

@@SaqMatador I would return it honestly. You should not have to get parts if you have not long had it.

[@shavingadvisor]

@SaqMatador If the spring it part of the blade system, which it sounds like it is, then the other option is to but a new blade replacement. However, you are entitled to a replacement head shaver.

Recently purchased one and had my second head shave today. WOW, what a shaver. Really put it to the test today and shaved after a week off hair growth and it was just stunning. Such a great shave. I did get a bit of a redness on my neck the first time when I started the shave at the top and moved back but this time I started at the back with less pressure and it was so, so much better. No itch or burn. Perfect Shave. And only took about 5 minutes. (never used the turbo at all) 😊👍🏻👍🏻💯

[@shavingadvisor]

It's good to hear the RX7 is going well for you. Thanks for sharing 😄😄😄

[@the4dudleys]

Thanks for the review, just purchased one and had the best head shave yet barring a wet shave! And it was lightning fast! Very quick!

[@shavingadvisor]

That's great. If you shave every 2 days, it makes head shaving very easy and fast. Razors are closer, but the ease and speed of using head shavers is great. 👍

[@Shrekeo]

Thanks for the review, ive been using the RX 5 for around 3 years, im on my 2nd one as the first one packed in and my 2nd one is making some funky noises now. I've found the RX 5 didn't cut very well unless i used it wet with shaving foam. I think this RX 7 will be next for me after watching this.

[@shavingadvisor]

Thanks for your comment. Some users do get along better wet shaving like yourself. I liked the upgrade to the RX7, but there is no difference in closeness, etc. Longevity and closeness of shave are the biggest issues with any head shavers. Thanks again for your experience and good luck with your next shaver.

[@LorenzoManera78]

I'm going to buy the rx7 and your review was very very helpful to decide! What I understand this model is one of the best in the market... So... Let's see

[@shavingadvisor]

Excellent and good luck. It's in the top 3 I have used. None are perfect. I have will have some more videos coming up on head shavers during 2024, but most I doubt before even getting them, although I will put up the Pitbull Gold Pro and Palm, which are others I like --out of all so far. Most are just becoming replicas. Thanks for letting us know, and I would like to hear how you get on with the RX7.

[@dianabriscoe4186]

Ladies, after grabbing a random guy in the isle and getting his opinion on this and another three head electric shaver, I choose this one because he Saud some of his friends really like it. Finally. The search is over. I went home and immediately dry shaved my legs. Both legs from knee to toe. Two minutes tops. Not quite as smooth as a razor, but pretty darn close. Every woman needs a shaver like this one.

[@shavingadvisor]

I guess you just have to keep your husband well away from borrowing it to shave his head. Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad it works well for you!

[@vEGAlen]

Bought this shaver after checking your review, never used one before, But man back of the neck is burning afterward the shave, but the machine is brilliant, super easy and fast! Thx 👍

[@shavingadvisor]

Sorry to hear about the neck burn--it is common at first. This should stop after a few shaves and often happens while the skin adjusts to a new type of razor. You could do a couple of wet shaves with cream, soap or foam and then return back to dry shaving. Glad all is good with the shaver otherwise.

[@vEGAlen]

@@shavingadvisor Thx mate I will try this out and going to the store to get some after shave and se how the skin reacts!

[@mjf1975]

Argos (UK) sell replacement blades for the RX7

[@shavingadvisor]

Excellent - thanks for letting us know. It's great to see that availability is - well, available now. 👍

[@buzok]

How often you have to change the blades?

[@shavingadvisor]

Remington states every 6 months, but each person's mileage will differ.

[@jesse0george]

I bought the the RX7 and have no complaits what so ever, the clipper is as you mentioned useless. If you need for some reason a replacement shavinghead you can use the RX5 shavinghead, it fits like a glove on the RX7

[@shavingadvisor]

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad it's going well for you with the RX7. 👍

[@bartoszkawalec5701]

Hi mate. The only but constant problem I've always had with Remington products is the lack of replacement blades you mention in the video. They are hard to get a hold of and once a product gets discontinued they are even harder to get. How did you cope with that issue?

[@shavingadvisor]

Yeah. Replacement blades, as I mentioned on the website, are the biggest challenge. This almost had me not recommending them. The RX7 blades are available at Argos at the moment. My fallback is contacting Remington, which I did when I first bought and reviewed the RX7. Remington was willing to send them out even while that was not shown as available on the Remington website. Hope that helps!

[@johnbartlett3288]

Just ordered one from eBay £52. Good review cheers.

[@shavingadvisor]

Thanks. Hope it all goes well with the shaver for you.

[@pyroitalia3439]

Thank you for the review! Very nice quality of the video.

[@shavingadvisor]

Glad it was helpful! 👍

[@anarawad6017]

Thanks for review. Just tried first shave very pleased with it

[@shavingadvisor]

Great. That's good news 👍

[@bobfromtadley1867]

Closer and smoother shave if you wet head and use a conditioner

[@shavingadvisor]

Thanks for the comment. I agree that using a lubricant is a smoother shave and more comfortable. I've never had a closer shave with any electrics shaving wet with lubricant, though (or maybe it was not significant enough to notice).

[@johannes5000]

thanks for all the info! getting the rx7 now :)

[@shavingadvisor]

Thank you. Hope all goes well with it for you. 👍

[@SebDab-dp3qn]

It's a good shaver, get a USB A charger, spare head with blades and you are set, bought 2 rx7 plus 2 spare heads with blades.

[@shavingadvisor]

Great. Thanks for commenting 👍

[@AgoraphobicNews]

Can you buy blades for it?

[@shavingadvisor]

Yes. They are easier to buy now from Argos, Remington and Amazon.

[@danielthompson9659]

Ive got the 7 and the 5 and neither are as good as a razor if you're wanting a clean shaven head...works better when head is wet with shaving gel but its never gonna beat a razor

[@shavingadvisor]

Yeah, agreed. They will never get as close. As you probably know, there are other reasons why some guys use electric shavers. Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@agostonkovacs3317]

Possible to use it on the face as well? Haven't found any reviews yet. I would like to have one machine for both head and face.

[@shavingadvisor]

It will shave the face, but it's not best suited. A higher end facial shaver will do better at both, but ideally, using both shaver types are better. Has a lot to do with ergonomics, among other things. Thanks!!

[@justinkase1360]

Thanks for the video. I have generally been maintaining a buzz cut, but I'm thinking of shaving regularly. I purchased a Braun Series 9, but was actually not impressed. Everything was fine, but for whatever reason, it would miss hairs. I think all of my gray hairs, which must be more flexible and not poke up into the foil as well. I'm hoping this style of shaver might do better in that regard. Are you able to get close to your ears without needing a touch up from another shaver? How many days growth can this unit handle? I would preferably shave twice a week.

[@shavingadvisor]

You should get a better job done with a rotary head shaver. Around the ears can be tricky, but push them back and be prepared to line up your sideburns with a razor. I always shave now with no more than a trimmer/clipper length with no guard. They are not great on heavy growth but will do the job, slower of course. Twice is good, but use a trimmer first if possible. Daily or every 2 days gets the job done quickly with these, but every 3 days is fine. Hope that helps a little.

[@justinkase1360]

@@shavingadvisor That helps, thanks! Three times a week, then. I'm trying to avoid using trimmer/clipper.

[@alenkucelin7408]

Hello, sorry for my bad english.... Sometimes when I put back head on shaver and try start it thay just no work?? First and last battery level light is blinking for 5sec but shaver don't start?? Than remove head again clean it and try again. Sometimes it work sometimes I have same problem for 10 times?Battery is full... Can I pull every blade and clean it or this is imposible?? I don't knew what is problem 😢😢

[@shavingadvisor]

It is hard for me to be able to work out what is happening without something visual. It kind of sounds like some part is jamming when replacing the blade head. I don't see any way the blades can be taken apart separately. Are you within the warranty period? If you have the warranty I would contact Remington. I have found Remington helpful.

[@19BATMAN7]

Trying to get hold of replacement head, Remington told me that not available at the moment and that i will have to wait, if i would have known i would of purchased skull shaver 😢

[@shavingadvisor]

That's not right is it. I had this concern myself about the replacement head as mentioned in the website review. I contacted Remington, and they told me they were not available but when I need them to contact them again and they can be sent directly from them. I am guessing you contacted the Remington UK website and got a reply via email?

[@waynemorris7820]

Nice review! I just got a Balder Pro here in the US for $50 and I love it. I will definitely consider upgrading to an RX-7 at some point in the future. I'm a little concerned about the "cost creep" up to $75 US. Have they really improved on the Balder Pro that much? Or is Remington just trying to re-position their profit-per-razor closer to Pit Bull's $100-200 per razor? 🙄

[@shavingadvisor]

Glad you are getting on well with the Balder Pro. It has not been improved lots, but as I stated on the website and video, the feel and shape of the body are improved, and with an additional runtime and a couple of other things, it was worth the extra. Now, you have the Balder Pro --I would probably stick with that as it's going to do the same job minus a few perks. I doubt Remington will produce a $100 head shaver, and at the moment, they are testing the RX7 in the UK and Europe, so they won't land a $100 shaver on you yet.

[@richardspeed7135]

Good review mate

[@shavingadvisor]

Thanks 👍

[@cod4787]

How often do i need to replace the blades if i use it 3 times a week? ( Scalp and face). Thanks!

[@shavingadvisor]

Remington uses a rough estimate of 6 months when used regularly. As you are facial shaving as well as head shaving, you might get a little less mileage. I would aim for six months and watch out for them starting to take longer, getting the job done, which is a sign of wear. One way of testing the effectiveness of the current blades is buy a spare head asap, then after 3 months try the new head and if you see or feel a significant difference you can choose to ditch the old blades. Good cleaning and maintenance will make them last longer and keeping the hair trimmed down to clipper no comb length before shaving. Like cartridge blades on razors they just won't perform as well when worn but will still get the job done. Have you got the RX7 yet?

[@cod4787]

​@@shavingadvisor Not yet, I might order it now after watching your great video. Thank you very much for your time to answer me.🙂

[@vBDKv]

How long do the blades last? I've never used these machines on my head or face, so I truly have no idea ow long they last. Thanks.

[@shavingadvisor]

@vBDKv Remington uses a rough estimate of 6 months when used regularly. As you are facial shaving as well as head shaving, you might get a little less mileage. I would aim for six months and watch out for them starting to take longer, getting the job done, which is a sign of wear. I only use head shavers for head-shaving as they don't make a great facial shaver, but if I was traveling or something and had no other razor, then I would use it.

[@vBDKv]

@@shavingadvisor Thanks! It looks like it's nearly impossible to find replacement blades for these types of shavers, even the older RX5. Think I'm gonna pass and just stick to my regular clippers.

[@shavingadvisor]

Yeah, replacement blades are a big issue as I have mentioned on the website. You've saved yourself some money for now. ✌✌ @@vBDKv

[@ach6973]

This interaction helped me to decide not to get this one.

[@vBDKv]

@@ach6973 I even wrote to some websites that specialize in shaving - They just sell the device, and that's pretty much it. No replacement blades or anything.

[@FAF4567]

Remington RX7 or Pitbull Gold Pro?

[@shavingadvisor]

If not based on saving money, the Pitbull Gold Pro. If I was going for value to save money, then the Remington RX7.

[@igordok959]

it won't work for me when I clean it under water, when I remove the head, then it works, I put the head back, then it won't work again, where am I going wrong

[@shavingadvisor]

It should just work while the head and blades are under water. It may have a fault if not. I'm not sure you could be doing anything wrong!

[@stephenramsey2]

You can buy replacement blades at Argos for £30

[@shavingadvisor]

Yes. Thanks for the heads up. Since the video, they have become available 👍

[@michalmicha2660]

Guys please can I shave my face with it?

[@shavingadvisor]

You can, but it's not best suited or designed for facial shaving. The Skull Shaver Palm I review in another video is about the best I have used that is easier on the face. Check the video out if you like!

[@stephenstriffler8877]

Can you use shaving gel/cream with it?

[@shavingadvisor]

Yeah. You can use the gel or cre you already use. 👍

[@donjohn2239]

Can you use this under the shower?

[@shavingadvisor]

Yes. You can use it in the shower and wet shave with shaving cream or foam. It helps to wet shave with it at first for the skin on the head to adjust easier to the new shaver being used --reducing irritation. When wet shaving, I would always use a lubricant (I.e., cream, foam etc.).

[@primopanciera4486]

In italia il prezzo piu' basso per RX 7 (XR 1600) e' su Trony 64 euro senza spese di spedizione. Io l'ho acquistato e rade a zero . La testina di ricambio su Ebay a 53 euro ....

[@shavingadvisor]

That is a good price for the RX7. 53 euros seems expensive for the replacement blades (head), though. Maybe look at other stores to see if you can find the replacement blades cheaper.

[@primopanciera4486]

@@shavingadvisor Le lame specifiche per l'RX7 sono difficili da trovare solo su un sito italiano di Ebay le vendono a un prezzo molto alto. Ho visto su un sito tedesco la comparazione del RX7 e RX5 dove dicono e fanno vedere che le lame di ricambio del RX5 vanno bene anche su RX7 e costano molto meno.

[@primopanciera4486]

@@shavingadvisor Ps se si mettono le lame di ricambio del RX5 su RX7 si perde il miglioramento che c'e' stato tra i due modelli dicono del 30 %..Forse tra un po' scendera' anche il prezzo e si potra' trovare in vendita su vari siti diversi.

The blades for the RX7 and RX5 don't match. They are slightly different. Another option to get replacement blades is to contact Remington. it.remington-europe.com/Assistenza

Made in China

[@kendallbond1573]

@@shavingadvisor Thank you for being honest. I'm not interested in buying anything made in China.

[@shavingadvisor]

@kendallbond1573 You're welcome. I have the same issue --based on supporting western companies, however, while many of the products are made in China they are US, UK, etc, companies, which means China are only doing the manufacturing work outsourced to them. The ones I don't support are the Chinese makers selling on Amazon and other distribution places as these are taking advantage of the western market and making Western companies/sellers lose trade. I'm not sure if that makes sense. I think all of the head shavers I review are made in China, but designed and sold via Western companies.
