What you need to know about the Heritage model?
- Foil shaver - this shaver is predominantly about its iconic look. It is the electric shaver your dad used to use with some added technology. It has a chrome die cast finish with the Remington brand and the year 1937 proudly stamped on the front of it. The foil is named by Remington as a LiftLogic foil. The principle behind that is that a central foil grabs hairs that grown in different directions and cuts them. That saves you having to do repeated passes and avoid skin irritation.
- Wet & dry shaving - You can use this Heritage shaver for dry shaving. You can also use it for wet shaving if you prefer to shave with a gel, soap or shaving cream. You can also clean this shaver under the tap.
- Replacement foils for Heritage shaver - You can purchase the foil and cutting heads online and it is around £32 for the full set of these. We could not find the foil on its own. You should replace foils and heads if they show wear and tear, or you feel the shaver pulling at hairs. You should also replace the foil and cutters if you notice the shaver starting to irritate your skin.
- Charging - It takes around 2 hours to fully charge this shaver. On a full charge you can shave for around 60 minutes. At around 5 minutes a shave that is enough to last you for a couple of weeks if you shave once a day. This shaver has a low, charging and full indicator. You can also use the shaver while it is charging. It is worth noting that this shaver comes with a 2 pin shaver outlet plug. If you want to use it by plugging it into a socket you will need an adaptor. We would recommend the Masterplug Shaving Adaptor which costs around £1.50
- Trimmer - it also has a pop up trimmer for the sideburns, moustache trimming or for detailing facial hair. That is located on the rear of the shaver.
- Cleaning - This shaver is not IP rated but it is classed as waterproof. You can wipe the outside of the shaver with a damp cloth. For a full clean the head of the shaver does come off with a push button head release. You can then rinse the cutters (underneath the shaving head) and the shaving head itself under warm running water. It can be used for wet shaving using a shaving soap, cream or gel.
