My Remington is two years old. I use it twice a week. Highly recommended.

I bought the Balder Pro and it's been two months with no problems yet. I do not rinse off the main unit with water, only the blades. I also followed the instructions of charge it first before using and only recharge when red light is showing. I also lube the unit frequently.

Sounds good! Hope you have better luck with yours then I did with mine…I’ve owned other Remington products in the past with no issues so I’ll just chalk it up to getting a bad unit.

Very good quick comparison, thank you. Skull Shaver has improved the reliability of its Pitbull range it seems. I myself started with the Remington RX-5. It cuts quite well but can be irritating to the scalp compared to the Pitbull (against the Pitbull Forte blade’s rounded blade edges). The RX-5’s battery life is not very good, either. It does, however, in my case, cut better behind the ears than does the Pitbull, with the Remington’s blade edges being closer to the edge of the cartridge and the slightly narrower profile of the cartridge itself. Lastly, I have the Pitbull Platinum, and have not had an issue with any chrome paint peeling off. I never use hot water when rinsing any of the parts that can be rinsed; only tepid water. I oil the blades every 2 to 3 weeks, and use the shaver every second day. The spare blades now come with a small bottle of oil, where once a month oiling is recommended, which is insufficient in my opinion. Dave, Australia (baby boomer)

Got a pitbull gold today, so much better than the remington rx9, kind of bought by mistake. The main difference other than the better shave was the lack of water mess. The remington was a shirt off kind of thing and the mess it left on the counter top while it was drying was annoying me. The water just seems to get out of the pitbull way better. It's so much nicer to use.

The Pitbull did a fantastic job. However, after exactly two years mine just stopped working. Wont charge, no light, nothing. I only used it maybe twice a month. Kept it clean etc. So I'm reluctant to by another one.
@style_45 Жыл бұрын
Sorry to hear that.. mine is still going strong after two years and I’ve thought if mine were to ever stop working, I would buy another one because it seems like Skull shaver and the Remington are the top picks for people who want a head shaver like this.
