Most recently, I invested more than I usually do in a Braun 9000 series shaver. That unit provided a quality shave, but needed to be repaired 3 times, and on the last time Braun told me they would replace the faulty shaver but only at my expense. I decided to move on to another brand as that response was not acceptable to me.I was interested to see how the Remington Balder Pro would stack up against a much more expensive unit. The Balder Pro compares favorably to the Braun giving my head a close shave if not exceeding it on the more rounded areas of my head. The unit also does well shaving my cheek and sideburn areas, comparable to the Braun. The shave on my neck area is not as competitive with the Braun. The Balder Pro does not do as well with these areas where the skin is looser and more difficult to apply the shaver head to.Overall, for 20% of the price of my last unit, the Balder Pro stacks up very favorably and I am pleased with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Head Shaver on the Planet, Makes Shaving Easier & Less Time Consuming

I've been shaving my own head for 8 years and its been great to not have to go to the Barber Shop and waste $20-30 on a haircut, or deal with waiting to get a head shave and sit still in somebody chair for an hour. I like keeping my head bald and my face shaved clean, so shaving myself was the perfect option since I don't worry about getting linings and stuff like that as well.I used some clippers that were made more for face shaving than hair shaving, so about a year after I started shaving I bought the Oster clippers device and it's the only thing that I've been using the last 7 years. They've been good for a long-time, but overtime the process of shaving with them sucks. They've slowly started to breakdown on me and they're not good for my skin as I've created so many ingrown hair bumps on my head and just a few on my face. My bumps bleed a lot, and so when I shave over them with the clippers it's a nightmare. It's really tough to shave on the back of my head because that's where a majority of my bumps lie. Then the clean up process of the hairs all over the sink is a nightmare to cleanup as well. It's just time consuming and I needed a different solution.I watch a lot of late night TV and one of the informercials that keeps showing up is this Remington head shaver and the first few times I was rather amazed, shock, but very cautious as well. I've probably seen this commercial for a good year or two now and stayed on the fence of getting them. Then one day, I decided enough is enough and it's time for a change, so I started to do extensive research on them and finally decided to try them out myself. Boy oh boy was I glad I finally made the switch.This shaver is great and is as advertised, it shaved my face and head so fast. It cuts close too like I wanted, so it feels like my face and head are completely shaved off. It doesn't hurt either as you don't got to worry about stabbing yourself or nicking yourself. It feels like a massager as it cuts very gentle on your face. It cuts rather fast too and for someone who has bumps, when I shaved over them it didn't hurt at all. This is really needed for people with bump problems like myself because when you shave with clippers they will hurt and make them bleed. I no longer have to deal with that now as I can cut any area and not worry. They cut pretty fast too as I usually spend around an hour shaving my face and hair together. It literally took maybe 10 minutes tops, if that long. I don't take any chances, so I still put peroxide over it since it shaves close. I was so thrilled with the results as I hadn't felt like I had a shave cut that close since the last time I visited the Barber Shop, 8 years ago. My old clippers never cut this close before.The cleaning process was easy too, I love how the hair is kept inside of the shaver and you can easily dump it afterwards. That's the best part to me is that it doesn't create a mess when you shave, you might still shed a few hairs and that's it. Hair doesn't fly everywhere, I've yet to use it for manscaping my privates or underarms, but that's gonna be great too. It's 100% waterproof so you can rinse it with water. I still use my Oster cleaner to spray just because of the bumps being contagious. If you're having problems cleaning, you're doing it wrong. Make sure you charge it whenever you can as well. It's portable so you can carry it wherever you go and don't got to worry about it being plugged in. Be sure to wash your hair after every shave.Guys this is device is perfect, don't hesitate if you have the money to purchase, the price is beyond cheap for something this great. There's actually a new one out that I plan on getting within the next year at some point. I'm going to get my moneys worth out of this sucker first.

First things first. no electric shaver on the planet can get you as close of a shave as a standard blade. This shaver will give me the head shave that feels like about 5pm after I blade shaved in the morning. that light stubble you can feel. it does not mean you look unshaven, to most people you will look fine, but you do not get the silky smooth feel from a blade. Not even a $900 shaver can do that. BUT, that is not what I bought this for. I got this for the days I do not want to bother with a blade shave and for travel. A full head blade shave while doable in a hotel room, sucks. TSA whines about my straight razer 100% of the time. I wanted something quick for a cleanup that will pass as well groomed for normals and this does the job perfectly and cheaply. when travelling for work this is what I pack and I use it in the shower. light soap on the dome, run it over to clean up, Pop the blade s off to rinse out in the shower and I am done in under 2 minutes. If the client wants to head out for dinner and drinks later I will dry run it over the dome in the evening as well. Works fantastic.I use this WITH a blade. It's a great tool for cleanup during the week when you dont want to do the full blade ritual, and for travel it's a godsend. Just understand it will NOT give you the glassy smooth shave that a blade does.
