Remington Balder Deluxe XR7100, Head Rotary Shaver with Titanium Blades & Storage Pouch for Bald Men Wet/Dry Shaving with 5 Dual Track Flexing Heads and Pop-Up Trimmer

Excellent shaver and a reasonable price.

I've been thinning up top and decided to take the plunge and be a bald guy. I previously ordered the FlexSeries Freebird. It was great, my first experience went well. But after using it a couple weeks, it was turning on and off all by itself so I had to send it back.Enter the Remington Balder Deluxe. I noticed right away this thing is a little more hefty, and it chews through hair a lot more smoothly. You can just tell by how the motors spin up, there is an audible difference between the two razors. I would liken it to a mower; some mowers you can plow through tall grass and the motor will bog down, other mowers blast right through it with hardly a pitch change to the motor. This is the comparison I would make between the Balder Deluxe and the Freebird.I don't get the razor bumps on the back of my head like I did with the Freebird. And with the extra gear (the 2nd button that turns the motors faster) I can get the job done pretty quickly. For reference, I shave about every other day and I do it in the shower with a Cremo shaving lotion. I have blond hair that has a regular thickness to it. I'm only balding a little on top in the back. So I don't have super thick wiry hair or anything.Now, as far as packaging and presentation goes, the Freebird wins hands down. Really cool box and instructions, really nice case. A+ on marketing. But if the device doesn't last, all of the fancy packaging is for nothing. The Balder Deluxe came with a weak looking case and no other accessories, but it gets the job done.

Many recommended and I thoroughly disagree. The shaver is very unreliable and takes a long time to use, when it actually runs. Bought two, so I have one where I need em.. both are junk and identical problems. Fully charged, they just stop half way through and blink lights. Don't purchase.

For context I have razor shaved my head for roughly 10 years this is my experience. First thing is this is not a razor and the blades don't touch your skin so the shave is not going to be the same. There maybe some spots where there is a stubble no matter how hard you try. This does have a battery cut off feature when there is too much strain on the battery. Too much pressure on the blades straines the battery so physical down force and amount of hair, play a factor in this. For me every other day and a light touch is how I have gotten away from it shutting off on me. A circular shave pattern has helped alot with a better shave. I use 70% isopropyl alcohol on my head before I shave, I have found it slides better. I'm just assuming it's from my skin oils being dried out. It does seem more complex but no shaving cream, rinsing, nicks/cuts and no hair all over the place makes it worth it for a regular maintenance shave. As another commenter has mentioned I have also gotten razor burn on my neck and haven't figured out how to stop it, maybe sensitive skin? With that being said I will still use a regular razor for special events but just a regular maintenance shave I am sold.

It works fine and if I put in the time can get a shave similar to the next day after using a razor. All said and done though a razor is still less work and quicker. Also I made the mistake or using it on my neck, it tore me up pretty bad. I swelled and looked like a had been burned. To be fair the instructions say not to use on face or neck.
