Most shaver ranges are sold on specs: more blades, more modes, more numbers on the box. Remington has flipped that with its Ready to Choose range, which skips the tiering and sorts six shavers and clippers by the one thing that actually matters, what you want from your shave.

Want one tool for head and beard? That’s Flexible. Chasing the closest finish? That’s Close. Cutting your own hair at home? That’s Control. Durable, Clean and Comfort cover the rest, with prices running from $59.95 to $169.95. Every model is 100% waterproof and USB rechargeable, so the real decision is which priority sits at the top of your list.

Here’s how the six line up, and which one suits your routine.

At a Glance

The black and blue Remington Balder Head & Beard XR8000AU five-head rotary shaver with its T-blade beard trimmer attachment

1. Remington Balder Head & Beard XR8000AU

The Balder Head & Beard is the pick if you keep your head shaved and your beard on. Five flexing blades driven by Remington’s DURADRIVE motor are built for a whole-head shave in under two minutes (on one day’s growth), with a Turbo Boost mode when you need more grunt.

The point of difference is the full-size T-blade attachment and combs (0.4 to 5mm), which turn it from a head shaver into a beard trimmer without reaching for a second tool. Remington quotes 80 minutes of runtime, or over a month of daily two-minute shaves, from a two-hour charge, and there’s a five-minute quick charge for mornings you forget. At $169.95 it’s the most expensive of the six, and the most versatile. See the Balder Head & Beard.

  • Price: $169.95
  • Blades: 5 flexing blades, DURADRIVE motor, Turbo Boost mode
  • Beard trimming: T-blade attachment and combs (0.4 to 5mm)
  • Runtime: 80 minutes, over a month of use based on 2 minutes a day
  • Charging: 2 hour charge, 5 minute quick charge, USB rechargeable
  • Waterproof: 100% waterproof, with a less mess hair pocket
  • Warranty: 3 years, premium travel case and travel lock included

2. Remington Balder Head & Face XF8000AU

If you want everything gone, head and face, the Balder Head & Face swaps rotary heads for Microscreen thin foils, the format most guys reach for when closeness is the priority. Remington says it delivers a clean-shaven look in as little as three minutes on a day’s growth.

The FlipFlex head flips between two positions, so it handles the curve of your scalp and the flatter planes of your face, and an intercept trimmer catches longer hairs on the way through. It shares the Head & Beard’s 80 minute runtime, quick charge, travel case and three-year warranty, at a lower $129.95. See the Balder Head & Face.

  • Price: $129.95
  • Foils: Microscreen thin foils with intercept trimmer
  • Head: FlipFlex design, flips between two positions
  • Runtime: Up to 80 minutes, up to a month of use based on 3 minutes a day
  • Charging: 2 hour charge, 5 minute quick charge, USB rechargeable
  • Waterproof: 100% waterproof, Turbo Boost mode
  • Warranty: 3 years, premium travel case and travel lock included

3. Remington BuzCut Hair & Beard Clipper HC8005AU

The BuzCut Hair & Beard Clipper is for anyone who has worked out a buzz cut costs a lot less when you do it yourself. The 25-piece kit includes 12 curved guide combs from 1.5 to 25mm plus left and right taper combs, so you can run a fade rather than one length all over.

Remington’s XL PowerCURVE blade gives 60% greater coverage than its HC5035AU, and the DC motor is rated 33% better cutting performance than the HC1500AU. There’s a separate XL beard trimmer with a 45mm straight-edge blade, a five-length adjustable comb (1 to 5mm) and four nesting guide combs. Runtime is up to 80 minutes from a USB-C charge, an LED countdown shows what’s left, and it carries the longest warranty in the range at five years, for $129.95. See the BuzCut kit.

  • Price: $129.95
  • Kit: 25 pieces, including 12 curved guide combs (1.5 to 25mm) and left and right taper combs

The Remington DURACUT RC3370AU rotary shaver with its three-head Twin Track cutting system

4. Remington DURACUT Rotary Shaver RC3370AU

The DURACUT Rotary Shaver is the entry point to the range at $59.95, and it’s built around stamina. Remington quotes up to three weeks of use between charges (based on four minutes every second day), and a one-hour USB-C charge or five-minute quick charge when it does run flat.

A DURADRIVE motor with twin speed settings drives the Twin Track cutting system, and the IPX7 rated body means you can shave wet or dry. A pop-up trimmer handles sideburns and edges, and the anti-slip grip and three-stage LED indicator are welcome touches at this price. See the DURACUT.

  • Price: $59.95
  • Motor: DURADRIVE motor with twin speed settings, Twin Track cutting system
  • Battery: Up to 3 weeks of use before recharge
  • Charging: 1 hour charge, 5 minute quick charge, USB-C

The Remington WASHUP RC4380AU rotary shaver with its RapidRinse wash-out shaving head

5. Remington WASHUP Rotary Shaver RC4380AU

If emptying a shaver over the sink is the part you hate, the WASHUP Rotary Shaver is designed around it. The RapidRinse wash-out system flushes the head under the tap, and a less mess hair pocket with an antimicrobial coating catches clippings until you’re ready to rinse.

It’s IPX7 rated and fully waterproof, runs for 60 minutes from a one-hour USB-C charge, and Smart LED alerts tell you when it’s due for a clean or a charge. A click-on trimmer, travel lock and storage pouch round it out for $79.95. See the WASHUP.

  • Price: $79.95
  • Cleaning: RapidRinse wash-out system, less mess hair pocket with antimicrobial coating
  • Waterproof: 100% waterproof (IPX7)
  • Runtime: 60 minutes

The Remington SENSICUT RC5390AU rotary shaver with its pivoting Twin Track head and pressure sensor ring

6. Remington SENSICUT Rotary Shaver RC5390AU

The SENSICUT Rotary Shaver is Remington’s answer for guys whose skin doesn’t love a daily shave. A dedicated SensiSpeed shave setting dials things back, and a pressure sensor lights an LED ring green when you’ve got it right and red when you’re pressing too hard, which is where a lot of post-shave redness starts.

The 360-degree pivoting neck and floating blades keep the Twin Track heads in contact along the jaw, and the blade surrounds use Nano Shield with an antimicrobial additive. It’s fully waterproof, runs 60 minutes from a one-hour USB-C charge, and comes with a premium travel case for $99.95. See the SENSICUT.

  • Price: $99.95
  • Skin comfort: SensiSpeed shave setting, pressure sensor, Nano Shield blade surrounds with antimicrobial additive
  • Head: 360-degree pivoting neck and floating blades, Twin Track cutting system
  • Runtime: 60 minutes
  • Charging: 1 hour charge, 5 minute quick charge, USB-C
  • Waterproof: 100% waterproof, pop-out trimmer
  • Warranty: 3 years, premium travel case, travel lock, head guard and cleaning brush included

How to Choose the Right Remington Shaver

Start with what you’re shaving. If it’s your head, the two Balder models are the only ones built for it: the Head & Beard if you’re keeping facial hair, the Head & Face if you want it all gone. If you’re cutting your hair rather than shaving it, the BuzCut kit is the one, and our take on whether you should get a buzz cut might tip you over the line.

For face-only shaving, the three rotary models split on priority. The DURACUT is the budget pick with the longest time between charges, the WASHUP is the low-maintenance option, and the SENSICUT is the one to buy if irritation is your main complaint. Rotary heads tend to suit thicker growth and a quicker shave, while foil heads like the Balder Head & Face get closer; our guide to the best electric shavers for men breaks down rotary vs foil in more detail, and if your beard is staying, see our pick of the best beard trimmers.
