Thursday, February 13, 2025 Remington Balder Pro XR7000 Osage Rub This Remington is the most comfortable electric razor I've used on my head. I'm very impressed.

Nice. Glad to read that. That's what Philips appears to do with some of their heads is use minimal packaging. 48 hours? That's great service. Welcome aboard, by the way, Andrew. I'm glad I could help, and I look forward to more of your posts.

Email me at jim at electricrazorrap dot com with the images and I will help.

Thanks for the update! That's interesting—since the humidity was lower on the ship, you'd think the cleaning fluid might evaporate faster. One possibility is that the continuous AC on the ship maintained a very stable temperature, which could have helped reduce fluid evaporation. At home...

ifuwill, welcome to Electric Razor Rap. That's an interesting observation. It could be that the climate and humidity on the cruise were different from what you're used to at home, which might have affected how often the cleaning station needed to be replenished. Additionally, when you're at...

It looks like some of the slots are warped, like I see little notches where the slot should be straight.

I recently ordered this new razor and will review it once it arrives. The problem is (and I should have looked into this before I bought it) that the replacement heads aren't available, neither from the seller I got it from or any other seller. I'll have a look at where the head connects to...

I'd say no. I have several (eight) sets of Norelco HQ5 heads purchased on eBay. At the time, my contact at Philips in the Netherlands tipped me off that they would soon be discontinued, so I stocked up. This was in 2006. I opened a set recently and used it with my Philishave HQ5401. Perfect shave.

Perfect. I own two very similar cases, also bought from Amazon, for two of my Philips razors. And folks, I can't stress this enough. Lubrication is key. There's a huge benefit to lubricating the cutters of your electric razor. Listen to your razor when it is on without being lubricated, and then...

Proper storage and maintenance of your electric razor are key to ensuring long-term performance and durability. Let’s dive into how we all manage our razors when they’re not in use and share tips for keeping them in top shape. Here’s how I handle mine: When I had my Braun Series 9 Pro 9465cc...

Here's a new video where I clean the Remington Balder Pro XR7000 with hot, soapy water followed up with blade lubrication with unscented baby oil.
