Today, I had the opportunity to try out the Remington PF7855 Virtually Indestructible Foil Shaver for my first head shave with this model. Coming in at a modest $40 USD, I was curious to see how it would perform compared to my usual high-end razor, the Braun Series 9 Pro 9465cc.
It took approximately 15 minutes to complete the shave. While this is a bit longer than I’m used to, the end result was satisfactory. The foil razor did a commendable job in providing a close shave, although I did experience some minor discomfort along the way. The sides of the razor are rubberized, which provides a good grip, especially useful if you’re planning to use it in the shower—a feature this shaver supports.
If I had to use the Remington PF7855 as my regular head shaver, I wouldn't mind it. It gets the job done, albeit with a bit less finesse than higher-end models. However, it's crucial to note that I certainly wouldn’t mistake this razor for a Braun Series 9 Pro. The Braun offers a superior, more comfortable shaving experience, but it's also significantly more expensive.
As always, your mileage may vary. It's essential to try a few razors to find the one that works best for you. Whether you prefer foil or rotary, or a mix of both like me, there’s a perfect razor out there to meet your needs. For more in-depth reviews and tips, stay tuned to Electric Razor Rap.
