# The Remington RX7 Lasted Three Months

*Field Test · October 10, 2026 · Mark Cronje, Founder of March Headcare*

I had high hopes for this one. Better looking than the Pitbull, but it worked less well and stopped working after three months.

- Best for: Hard to recommend. If you want this style of shaver, the Pitbull does the job better
- Closeness: Fine at first, but it struggled and needed several passes once the stubble got longer
- Skin: Nothing to report
- Time per shave: Several passes on longer growth, so slower than I wanted
- Price: Around $127 RRP, often discounted to about $92
- Tested: Three months, until it died
- Verdict: Better looking than the Pitbull, but it worked less well and stopped working after three months.

I had high hopes for this bad boy.

It was recommended by some guys I know in branding and advertising, who happen to be bald too. We had a bit of a geek out on tooling, and reached a consensus that we both disliked the hideous pitbull logo on the Pitbull. They hadn’t tried the Remington, but had heard good things. So I went ahead and bought it.

## While it worked

It felt very light and cheap. But aesthetically it was much better looking than the Pitbull, so I was happy about that. The built-in clipper is a nice idea, but if you have a beard it’s moot. You can’t blend sideburns with it, so you still carry a separate tool, the Stamen or a small set of clippers. A bit superfluous.

The first couple of runs were okay. But once the length got a little too stubbly, it struggled through and I’d have to do several passes. I found it less efficient than the Pitbull. So, more pleasing to look at, but it didn’t work as well. Not ideal if you’re after practicality and utility.

## What broke

It just stopped working after about three months. I was keeping it as my backup in my locker at the gym downtown, charging it fairly regularly, and it stopped. The lights don’t come on.

## The verdict

I like the way it looks. It didn’t work. I can’t recommend it. I’d still take the Pitbull over the Remington for that style of shaver.

But I’ll point you to my [review of the Panasonic](https://marchheadcare.com/editorial/panasonic-es-pv3b-head-shave-review/). I’m a couple of weeks in and loving it. Epic. Foil, super close, tiny, and thank God, USB-C.
