None of our testers thought it was on the level of a Braun—but then again, it costs less than a quarter of the price. Look for the DWYM seal for products that are the best in the category. Disassemble the Remington MB4040 and clean any dirt and debris that have accumulated over time. The zoom wheel is used to adjust the height of the blades.
It left way too many rash scratches and cuts which I’ve never had before on any other shaver and left my skin feeling raw and attacked. I have an old Braun 5070 About 15yrs old which sounds like a buzz saw when switched on that leaves the skin silky smooth from a dry Philips Norelco Shaver shave. I could tell just turning them on together just how weak this Remington was. But even so it didn’t have a speed setting so I assume that’s the only speed it can go and if it’s that slow I can’t imagine many men’s necks being too happy with the Remington R4.
Otherwise, you can get better results for less elsewhere. It’s also waterproof (so shower-friendly) and fully washable, even if you use it with shaving gel/foam. Removing the blade takes a little force, but once you do the whole apparatus is easy enough to keep clean. The buildings, at 60 Main St., were home to the electric shaver company for decades, but had been vacant since December 2004.

The most obvious difference that sets the Series 7 apart from other Braun models is the flexibility of the shaving block at the top. The Series 5 remains fixed, the Series 6 pivots up and down, and the Series 7 pivots up and down and left and right, keeping the cutting block in contact with facial curves more of the time. For a consistently close shave, plus the convenience of an included Philips Norelco Shaver automatic cleaning system at a reasonable price, we recommend the Braun Series 7. In addition, we weighed each model and measured the noise of each razor during operation. We didn’t test battery life, specifically; all of the models we picked were capable of running for about an hour on a full charge. The top-of-the-line Philips Norelco model is the best rotary shaver we’ve ever used.
Plus, this rechargeable shaver runs on a lithium battery that drives maximum torque and power to the motor for a consistent shaving performance every time.
