Remington R-91 Rechargeable Travel Shaver Review

Finding a travel shaver which is suitable for your needs is often easier than finding a regular shaver due to the lesser amount of choices available in the market and also less features to consider. The Remington R-91 is a rotary travel razor which comes at an appealing low cost. It's the number 1 selling Remington Shaver in EU, which instils confidence in consumers that it delivers.

Key features of the Remington R-91 Rechargeable Travel Shaver

• Two Independent Floating Heads
• Dual-track Cutters
• Rechargeable
• Ideal for travelling or touch-ups

Aesthetics and Ergonomics

Aesthetically, the Remington R-91 has an attractive appearance. The use of silver and black contrasts very well to create a modern look. Ergonomically, Remington have got things spot on. The shaver fits well into the palm of your hand without feeling too small or large.

Rechargeable

The good news is that this razor is rechargeable so you don't have the hassle of packing batteries before you go travelling. Unfortunately, this means that if you want to take it places where there is no electrical power you cannot charge it which is a big drawback if you're travelling for longer than 1 week. Charging times are rather disappointing as a full charge needs 16 hrs, which provides you 30 minutes usage based on 3 minute shaves. The instructions state that the NiMH battery cannot be replaced after it reaches the end of its lifespan which is a little concerning regarding the long term use of this razor.

Performance

The two rotary heads provide a good amount of coverage, as they move independently to follow your facial contours for enhanced comfort. The dual tracks are effective at cutting through your stubble at a fast rate to allow you to shave in a minimum amount of passes.

Shaving performance itself is high quality for shorter stubble, giving you a close shave and smooth skin. As expected, the shave isn't as close as higher-end rotary shavers, but is very good given the low price and compact size of this razor.

Travel-use

The Remington R-91 isn't particularly travel-friendly if you intend travelling abroad because it only accepts 125v power input. There is no travel-lock so the possibility of it turning on whilst inside your bag could occur.

Summary

The Remington R-91 is ideal for those who are looking for a simple, low cost travel razor which does a good job in providing you a close shave. One of its main drawbacks is that it has such as long charging time, so you need to decide whether you can live with that.

It isn't the most travel-friendly razor in the market mainly due to its 125 voltage input. Therefore if you often travel to a lot of countries, you'd be better off purchasing a battery operated razor such as the Braun M90.
