Remington DuraBlade Lithium Hybrid Trimmer and Edger

So I have bought this trimmer several times through recent years because certain events caused me to lose them, and I was a bit bummed when I could no longer find it on store shelves. I tried the Oneblade as well, which was the direct competition of this, and I was less impressed with the consistency and performance of that trimmer, even despite how close it was able to get. Recently, I took to Amazon to see if I could find my beloved durablade again, and was pleased to not only find it, but to find it a good deal cheaper than I had previously purchased it for. So for starters, this will give you a very close shave, but not quite as close as a Oneblade or a standard razor, however, the pivot of the head and the built in guard do more to prevent nicking. Using a thin shave gel, I was able to attain an extremely close shave on my face as well, though I normally do not do so with. Now onto the thing that impressed me: I had a quick thick head of hair, and decided I would give this a spin at removing it. I cut my hair down with scissors first, and then spent some time with this trimmer on top and the result, while nowhere near as quick as clippers designed to the task, was excellent. Long story short, it can manage your head if you are patient and attentive, it's quite good on the face, and it's also very effective on other regions too. the only real regret is that these do not come with a charging block of their own, so you will have to provide one for it. that isn't such a big deal.

I finally needed to replace my nearly 10 yr old battery operated trimmer. After much searching, I settled on the Remington Durablade trimmer. This version has the interchangeable small detail attachment, which is great for everything from fine trimming on my goatee to even ear hair. For the price I have zero complaints about the quality. The battery life is good, and the ergonomic design of the handle with it's rubberized exterior handles great wet or dry. I read the reviews regarding closeness of the shave and was not disappointed there either. Yes, although it's not shaving as a close as a blade, if you're like me and don't prefer the smooth skin look,the you'll love this trimmer. It charges quickly, and holds it's charge for over an hour thus far. I don't shave everyday as I like some stubble, so I anticipate a longer use time between charges than someone who shaves down to the skin daily.Great buy for the money and with the 5 yr blades I will more than get my money's worth.

Bought as a replacement for the same thing I bought last time. It works well to give you a 2-day beard. The button spot (the button is under the rubber) is hard to press when new. It gets easier in time and then the rubber breaks through after a couple years which is why I replaced it. If you shave in the shower it would be a concern. Doesn't have replaceable blades that you have to buy and it seems to shave the same after two years, probably could get another year or so but I was concerned they would discontinue it.

I've been looking for something like this for a long time, finally found it. I've been using a OneBlade for a few years, their "4 month blades" last me 2 weeks, tops. Wouldn't be a problem if they weren't so dang expensive. The DuraBlade supposedly lasts years. No, the cut isn't quite as close, but for the savings on replacement blades I'll accept the 5 o'clock shadow with a smile.

Bought it on Amazon.. So far.. Amazon has been brilliant!.. So I bought this purchase as i have had the smaller one from else where here in Cyprus, & I liked it.. So I went for an slightly better model.. So I went to charge it via the manual.. (same as my other Razor of the same company, Remington...).. Nothing.. No Life.. No light to see if its charging.. So I managed to find another person who had the same model.. which he used to ages.. The Unit was very hot from his USB cable, from the same model.. But no charging light was showing, so to me the thing I was sent was a dud.. Even when it seem to come sealed.. Well the Shaving component seem to be sealed to the packaged.. Which I Assumed maybe the customs the boxing inspection, as i live in Cyprus.. So its not worth me sending back, but i wasted my hard earned money.. for it.. So I'm a bit annoyed.. As I could accept a faulty USB cable.. which it wasn't.. I'm a bit miffed to say the least.. It would cost me sending it back, so I'm taking it as a loss..

I used the Durablade for a week now and as for now I'm very pleased. I was looking for a strong machine that can handle the hair growth on my face after weekends instead of using a shaving machine that can't handle it. I was not expecting powerful shaving capabilities, but more a trimming capability. To my surprise the machine came out as a long hair trimming predator that can clean you face from hair in a matter of few minutes. As for shaving, it also came as a surprise since the output regarding shaving was very good. It doesn't apply the silk face output, but it gets not very far from it. As for now I stopped using my shaver and I use only this machine for all my needs. All in All it's a powerful all rounder. In order to reach a good shaving result you have to trim the facial hair at first and with no extra care or caution, but without applying pressure to the face or getting very close, just a fast trimming process. The next phase is to start using the machine close to the face with a bit of a pressure but with extra caution and slow movements. This will result in quite a good shaving output.
