Welcome December!!

Along with winter weather and everything Christmas, December also marks the official end of No Shave November, and since I happen to be the type of gal that abhors full on facial hair, the arrival of a new month makes this wife very happy. Goodbye coarse rough facial hair that scratches my own soft skin with every kiss. I want to ensure my husband has all of the best tools and body care accessories on hand to lose the scruff and once again reveal those baby soft cheeks, so I turn to Remington of course!

Remington is well known for their wide variety of electric shavers, groomers, and trimmers for both men and women alike. First established in 1936, Remington has become a trusted household name for almost a century and was the first company to introduce the multi-headed shaver, as well as the dry shave. Today their product line has expanded even further to include hair styling tools, hair accessories, and other forms of hair removal including wax and intense pulse light (IPL). None the less, Remington has never sacrificed quality or dependability, making them a brand that is both current in product development and key in customer satisfaction.



We received two wonderful Remington products including the Virtually Indestructible 15 Piece Barbershop Kit ($39.99) and the Hyper Series XR1330 Rotary Shaver ($84.99), to assist my husband in wishing No Shave November adios, as well as keep him looking his best all year long. As you can see he had obtained quite a caveman-esque style in the short span he went shaveless (about two weeks) and thus felt he needed both Remington products to clean up this his satisfaction.

He first decided to shorten the shag by using the Virtually Indestructible 15 Piece Barbershop Kit. It worked like a charm and we were both pleasantly surprised by how strong, yet quiet these clippers were compared to former brands he’s used over the years. This kit includes a set of 8 guides, barber scissors, cleaning brush, oil bottle, barber cape, blade guard and a durable storage case, which is absolutely everything a man will need to keep himself trendy and trimmed. The super magnet motor drives more power to the blades for a faster, cleaner cutting performance utilizes while the POWERCUT blade system makes for a smooth and even cut every time. Since my husband frequently shaves his own head, and has been doing so on his own for years, as well as occasionally gives James a close cut when the weather is warm, the Virtually Indestructible 15 Piece Barbershop Kit will be perfect for both my boys!

Next hubs decided to finish shaving with the Hyper Series XR1330 Rotary Shaver. He is not usually a dry shave or electric shave kind of guy, so he was a bit hesitant to give things a go. Within moments I heard a WOW from our bathroom vanity area and my husband instantly admitted how amazing his new shaver was. It gave him an instant smoothness with just a single pass over his face and worked so quickly that time will never again be an excuse for him to not shave!

The Hyper Series XR1330 Rotary Shaver is equipped with ActiveContour XL which means more contour and linked cutters keep the heads in close contact with skin on the neck and chin, HyperFlex Technology that allows the entire head to adjust to any angle on the face to help reduce irritation, and PrecisionPlus Heads with slots and holes that comfortably shave both long hairs and short stubble with ease.  All of that combined with the addition of a skin friendly pop-up trimmer that details sideburns and any facial hair style, the freedom to shave dry or in the shower with a gel or foam for ultimate comfort and a full forty minutes of cordless shaving certainly equals an amazing product for any lucky guy.

The Big Finish

So you may be thinking to yourself I thought this was the end of No Shave November, what’s up with the facial hair? I’d like to answer that. My husband always wears a goatee so that’s standard, and since this review was done during the month of November, he insisted on carrying on with MOvember for a few more days (insert eye roll about awkward mustache here). I am happy to report as of yesterday afternoon the stache is gone and all is well thanks to Remington!
