Balder Pro Shaver

I was wet shaving with safety razor and an expensive cartridge system on my face and head. My wife gifted me an electric razor for my birthday. While it shaved my face very well, on my scalp it was great but laborious. Then in the summer of 2023 I purchased this to try on my scalp as the Braun S7 was frustratingly inconvenient for my head. I was happily amazed. That was 21 months ago and it is still going strong with daily use. I do charge it full after each shave. Both wet or dry no issues at all on my head, neck or face (I just don’t press too hard on my neck). If I use it wet, I prop the trimmer open to let the water drain out, and then dry out before recharging it overnight. Compared to my Braun it is not as close a shave, but is far quicker. My typical routine is a few minutes of this followed with a quick (max two minutes) touch up with my Braun. I find that this gives a wet shave a decent run for the money. While a wet shave is still a closer shave, it is not as convenient or as rapid. Both wet with clear shave gel or a quality soap, or dry alone or with a dusting of Gold Bond powder, work quite well. I bought a replacement blade set at 1 year and I’ll do so again in a few months. A few weeks ago I thought the gears were giving out (loud gear grinding sounds with frequent stopping). I removed the four screws holding the head cassette together and discovered a ton of debris - ? hair trimmings, dead skin, soap residue, spent silicone grease? …. A quick few minutes of cleaning with water and a toothbrush and I had the plastic gears clean and turning again like new. It’s been dropped too many times to count but just keeps on going. Highly recommended.

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.

I’ve been using the Remington Balder Pro XR7000 for about six days now, and it has been a total game-changer. Since Tuesday, I’ve used it three times, and the results are incredible every single time. This is my 1st ever Razor for a bald head since I'm just going bald 6 days ago. It gets me "bald to the core" with zero effort. I haven't had a single nick or cut, which is a huge relief. The unit is surprisingly lightweight and easy to maneuver around the back of the head. Cleaning is a breeze. it is very simple to pop open and rinse out, which saves me a ton of time in the morning. The battery life is holding up great and feels very reliable for a cordless unit. The unit vamedbfully charged also and I haven't had to charge yet. If you are looking for a smooth, irritation-free shave that’s quick and easy to maintain, I cannot recommend this enough. 10/10 – very very happy with this purchase! Also I've only used it wet and not dry yet so I'll try that next.

Recently decided to go bald, and when I was looking into shavers, this ranked fairly high among the shavers in my price range, and I went with it for one primary reason: quality control. The Bulldog was pretty consistently considered the closest shave, but there were reports of them starting to turn on randomly, occasional faulty parts, and sometime dying outright within a year. Not had this one for a year yet, but so far it's holding up pretty well. I get a nice close shave that's only a fraction of a millimeter less close than a razor, but in significantly less time and with less mess. I did have just a little issue with skin irritation initially, but I had dry scalp anyway so I'm not blaming the shaver. I started using Bee Bald Heal balm, and it works great. The battery still seems to be holding up pretty well, I shave twice a day and it usually lasts about 3-4 days on a charge. I do have a couple issues. A single LED that turns red when the battery only has a few minutes left is not great design. Even just having 3-4 lights would be a huge improvement. If the red light turns on in the first few seconds of a shave, I really have to hustle to get a good shave before it starts getting noticeably weaker. Cleaning it can be a pain, the brush that comes with is only does a mediocre job and will never get it completely clean. I've taken to just hitting it with my waterpick a couple times a week and leaving it to dry overnight. I used compressed air for a while, but those cans aren't cheap. And lastly, the middle blade clogs way too easily. Even as often as I'm doing a thorough clean, it feels like every other day the middle blade gets clogged to the point that it no longer spins, and then I get streaks in my hair and I have to spend twice as long shaving. All that said, i went for an entry level shaver, not a luxury one, so I wasn't expecting perfection, and I feel like this is a good shaver for the job at this budget level.

I don't normally leave reviews on Amazon, but when I received this product and first tried it, I was amazed at how well it works. This is my first head shaver-style electric razor, and I had stopped shaving my head down to the skin because I didn't like doing it with an actual razor. This shaver lets me get the clean-shaven look I have been wanting and is very easy to use and maintain. After I used this the first time, I gave it a full charge, which took a little over an hour and a half, and I was good to go for the next 6-7 shaves. It is easy to clean; just wash the blades under warm water, let them dry, and reassemble. You are supposed to oil each blade head after each shave, but the oil is provided, and it takes no time at all. A handy travel case is provided to hold everything, as is a brush to assist in cleaning. I would have bought this sooner, but I was trying to decide between this model, an upgraded model in this line, and some models from other lines. I finally decided on this one because it cost to value ratio, and I am glad I settled on this one. If you are on the fence about buying this model, go for it; you will not regret it.

I have had this shaver for about 3 months and I am very happy with it. It will not shave as close as a blade (which I think is a pain to use), but is way better than clippers. It has been erratic for a few days, and it completely stopped working today. I have brushed it out daily, and oiled it weekly, as in the instructions. A little research and experimentation taught me 2 important things. [1] If the shaver turns off and will not turn on, this is probably due to the blades being jammed with oil and shavings, so the motor can not turn. If the motor can't turn, it draws a high current that will burn the motor out. This shaver has a safety turn off mechanism. Pull off the head, and see if the motor runs (it likely will not). Then plug in the charging cord to reset the shaver. You will see the red light briefly, then it will change to green, indicating that it has reset. It should now run well with the head assembly off. Note - it will not run until you remove the charging cord. [2] Next hold the head assembly up to a bright light. You should be able to see light around each of the shaving heads. If you can't, you need to clean it. I added a drop of baby shampoo (that is what I had, probably any detergent will work) to each head, scrubbed it with an old toothbrush on both sides, followed by rinsing in it the shower. Mine was so dirty, it took about 5 tries to able to see light around each of the 5 blades. I dried the head assembly and the base thoroughly, and put it back together. Viola! It is reset, clean, and working like a champ!

Excellent Product ! I've been using the Remington Shortcut Pro with no guard for my haircuts and wanted to try a clean shaven look without dealing with a razor. I tried this on closely trimmed hair and, while I’ve never used a traditional razor to compare it against, the end result is a clean shaven look. It takes just a couple of minutes to finish a full head shave, and it captures all the hair keeping everything clean without making a mess. Hoping it will last longer ! 100% recommend if you are looking for a fast, effortless, razor-free result.

Ok as a body groomer. Does not work as a skull shaver. At least for me. I'm bald by choice have thick head of hair. Shave every day. Will not work for me. Glad I bought with points and didn't actually spend money on it. I guess if you have thinning hair and want to keep it short may work for you.
