Summary: Not bad for a cheaply priced shaver....
Comment: I bought this Remington DA-307 Shaver to replace a Wahl Shaver (Bump-Free) that I had just returned to the company because it shaved too close. I have always been a Remington man, but when they discontinued the Ultra Smooth ES-1000 Shaver in 2007 (I have one that was purchased in 2003, and it still works except for the shaving head coming off when used), I eventually bought the Wahl, and later, this Remington model. It is not bad in terms of the shave that it provides, but to best utilize it, you may have to use both the shaver and the small trimmer in the back of the shaver to get the close shave that you want. Just be careful to not scrape your skin with the trimmer...go lightly over your face. The shaver doesn't cut short curly hair very well, so this is when the trimmer has to be used besides shaping mustaches, sideburns, and thick beards. One notable setback is the regular charging of the battery before you shave, based on the instructions that came with the shaver (In fact, Remington told me to charge initially for 24 hours every six months and 16 hours in between when I called their toll-free number). I was hoping to pick up the shaver, turn it on, and shave without always charging beforehand. With the Ultra-Smooth and the Wahl Bump-Free, I would get, at least, three shaves between charges. This shaver seems to give me two shaves per charge, probably because I go over the same areas repeatedly. Also, it provides 40 minutes of shaving, so it's important to time yourself when using this shaver. I have ingrown hairs that grow in different directions, so by washing my face with warm water and drying it, using the beard lifter comb that came with the Ultra-Smooth, and putting on the Face Shaver Talcum Powder prior to shaving, it helps the shaver glide over the beard easily. Afterwards, I spray with the Shaver Saver Spray to lubricate the cutters and microscreen to keep things running smootly. While I am still experimenting, I hope to master this shaver soon. In fact, knowing Remington's reputation, I think it's a possibility. In fact, for daily shavers, maybe you can reduce the charge time to 3-5 hours instead of the full 16 to cut corners, even if you charge overnight to make the best of this $29.99 shaver.

Summary: Not bad at all
Comment: First let me say that I am one of those people who say "no way an electric razor shaves as close as a blade"! And although this razor does not change my stance I must say it is by far the closest shave I have experienced outside of a blade. I use it for quick shaves or maybe at the end of the day when I don't want my stubbles to sandpaper my ladies face. Great electric razor and if I had to give up my blade it would be for this razor. Yes I have used many other popular electric brands. I won't knock them but this one is the best I have found.

Summary: Remington DA-307
Comment: I had been looking for the same style razor I previously used for 20+ years (i.e. a DA-107) which is the same body sytle as the DA-307, just not rechargable. The plastic head piece that holds the screen had broke. The charges on the DA-307 would only last about 4 or 5 days. After ~2 weeks using the DA-307 and losing a charge in the middle of a shave, I could'nt take it any longer. I swapped the new head, screen, and blade onto my DA-107 and presto - back in business. I never really wanted to get a rechargable in the first place. Other than that, I really like the Remingtons.
