I have recently bought the Remington TCT Fasttrack R9100 razor. This model is both mains and rechargeable. The main features of this product are:
Full-width pop-up trimmer.
Charging light indicator.
Recharge warning light.
Easy grip handle.
Washable blade area.
Deluxe travel pouch.
Quiet to use.
One of the best features about the Remington that made me buy it, is that is has a unique blade system.
Instead of having the conventional 1 set of blades in each of the 3 floating heads, it has 2 sets of blades in each head. With this facility I have found that I get a really close shave. (The ''TCT'' in the description stands for Total Closeness Technology). The closeness of the shave also comes from the speed of the rotary heads. This speed is 3300 rpm, which Remington claims is more than other rotary headed razors. The flexible heads adjust perfectly to run over every part of my face where shaving is required.
As I mentioned earlier, this razor has 2 sets of blades in each head. this has the effect of the following: The outer blades cut the problem bristles, whilst the inner ones ensure you have an incredibly close shave. I can definitely vouch for this.
The stainless steel cutters are washable under slow running water. The razor has a safety plug, thus no water is able to get into the main part of the razor. I find this feature particularly helpful, as with my previous razor I sometimes did forget to clean the head area, until the razor slowed down due to it needing emptying.
Other features of the Remington R9100 include: A 3-minute quick charge facility for a one-off shave, or a 60-minute full charge. The latter gives up to 60 minutes of cordless shaving, which I find to be approximately 20 days @ 3 minutes per shave.
Another excellent feature I have noticed is the automatic voltage selection, which is very good for taking the razor abroad, especially to the USA. The final good thing about the Remington R9100 is that is has a 2-year guarantee.
The price of this razor is £109.00GBP (suggested selling price). I actually paid £79.00GBP from the Remington outlet shop in the McArthur Glen Outlet Shopping Mall in York (North Yorkshire). I can surely recommend the Remington TCT R9100 razor to any person wanting to buy a new one.
