I saw a couple really negative reviews on here and I suspect that individual(s) either had a defective unit or simply lack the most basic of cognitive functions. This shaver works seamlessly without any bleeding or cuts or pain. Just like on the commercials. I use it in a circular motion and it didn’t take but a couple minutes for a complete head shaving. Usually I’ve used head clippers or more recently a beard clipper, which worked well, except sometimes the teeth of the blade dig into the scalp resulting in cuts and bleeding. I like the length of ‘stubble’ left over. I’m not going for a shiny razor shined shave but this brings it close enough I don’t have to hit my neck with a bic razor afterwards to tidy things up. Charges fast as indicated, well packaged minus the labelling error for the model number which see others noted, but you can clearly see this is the newer model by comparing to pictures. Also super fast and easy to clean. Pop the blade off hold it up side down and put the brush to it briefly and blow on it and success you’re done and ready for tomorrow….. or the next day. Also note it’s not designed for long hair more than 2mm so shave it once to get it short then maintain with this Remington device. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I don’t usually rate reviews, but my husband loves this product and when it stopped working within the first month or so of having it, I thought it was going to be a long process of getting things fixed. However, when I contacted the Remington phone number listed on Amazon, I spoke to the most helpful customer service representative I’ve probably ever spoken to. She was so helpful and taught me how to troubleshoot and reset the shaver. They’re sending me a replacement head just in case the one I currently have stops working again. It went from me, thinking the product was a total bust to being so impressed with the help and support I received that I will always be a Remington customer. Thank you for the great service!!

This shaver works very well, no complaints so far.

I’m fairly new to shaving my head, only been doing it for about a year. These clippers tore my scalp up for the first several weeks I used them, which is odd because they don’t give me a very close shave.
I kept it past the return date hoping it would perform better once my skin became more accustomed to the harsh abrasive feeling it gives.
I had a Chinese off-brand that gave a closer shave, and eventually it died out so I got this hoping it would last longer and perform well. It absolutely did not.
First issue I noticed is that I have to empty it and clean it half way through my daily cuts, or else it jams up and won’t operate, even on ‘turbo’ mode. I do not produce a lot of hair so I’m not sure why that is.
It does still operate – but only for 2 minutes (tops) before the battery dies. This is not nearly enough time to shave my 24hr stubble. It took about 8-9 minutes when it was brand new.
So the battery is now completely degraded, I’ve never gotten this thing wet, and I’ve operated it according to the included manual.
I’m assuming these positive reviews are from people that are lying to themselves to convince themselves they didn’t get ripped off of $100, or they are reviewing without giving enough time for failure.
Absolute trash. I’ll be buying a cheap alternative from now on and just trash it when it breaks. Rather than spend so much on what I was hoping would be a higher quality item. This thing isn’t worth a third of what I paid for it.
It looks shiny. So if you like shiny, overpriced, name brand trash- here ya go, this is your best option.
Ps. Good luck looking professional at your business meetings with a half shaved head when it spontaneously dies mid cut. Keep a razor on hand to finish the job.

I have been shaving my head for a few years now and always hated the process since I used my Panasonic shaver, which was initially meant for face shaving. Well I figured it was time to get a dedicated head shaver that wasn’t some generic Chinese knockoff and figured I’d splurge for the Balder Boss. And I have to say, thing thing exceeded my expectations. Immediately, this thing started shaving down my head without too many passes and in fact got my head to an ever so close shave. In fact I think this thing does a better job than my barbers when I occasionally have to get it shaved down when it grows out too long. And the best part, besides the close shave, is that it only takes about 5 minutes!
I have used this thing for 2 weeks now, with a shave occurring every 1-2 days, and it’s gotten the job done effortlessly. It is extremely easy to clean and comes with a small amount of oil to keep it operating efficiently. If you follow the instructions on its upkeep, I’m sure no one will have any issues. I actually look forward to shaving my head now since it’s no longer the hassle it used to be.

SHAVER WORKS GOOD AND I WOULD GIVE IT A 4 OR 5 STARS BUT THE PROBLEM IS I CANNOT FIND REPLACEMENT BLADES FOR IT EXCEPT THE TITANIUM ONES AND ALL THE REVIEWS SAY THOSE ONES DONT CUT WELL SO I MIGHT HAVE TO RETURN IT IF I DONT FIND SOME ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT BLADES. IM IN CANADA BTW. THEY HAVE EM IN THE USA BUT THEY DONT SHIP HERE…

First, worth noting is that this is a review of the newer Remington BALDER BOSS head shaver, not the older Balder Pro model.
When the razor arrived, there was a rattling sound heard inside the box, so I was concerned that the unit had arrived broken – however, this turned out to be the cleaning brush and small bottle of lubricating oil (more on this shortly). Still, if yours arrives with typical Amazon packaging, I recommend carefully checking the unit to make sure it arrived intact.
The first thing noticed was that the label on the razor’s box it arrived in said “DESCRIPTION BALDER PRO” instead of “BALDER BOSS” (see photo), so I immediately thought that I had been incorrectly sent the older “Pro” version which I didn’t want (after reading numerous reviews concerning build quality issues). Adding to the confusion was that the “MODEL/REF” number on the box’s label said “XR7100” which was different from the “XR7120USD” model number on the Amazon page…but the label’s SKU did say XR7120USD. So I didn’t know which one was correct – and when I tried to look on the Remington website itself to verify, I discovered that the Balder Boss model isn’t even mentioned, just the Balder Pro (as it turns out, for some reason Remington keeps info on the Balder Boss on its own separate website with the same URL as the Boss name).
I opened the Remington box to check further, and found that – as others here have also mentioned in their reviews – the small bottle of lubricating oil, while sealed, had somehow still leaked all over the inside of the left-hand accessories compartment, soaking through the paper manual and leaving the bottle only about an eighth full. I do wonder if this was due to the unit being bounced around in the box in transit.
Adding further to the confusion, the paper manual also said “XR7100” as the model number instead of XR7120USD.
The razor itself appeared to be fine, and based on photos I had seen I could visibly confirm that it was indeed the Balder Boss model I wanted. It feels solidly built and not flimsy, and fits very comfortably in my hand.
I charged the unit for the full 8 hours the first time per the manual. Note that this unit does NOT come with an actual charger, just a USB charging cable with a proprietary end for the razor itself instead of standard USB (disappointing, as it means needing to get a new cable from Remington if it fails, and can’t be replaced with a standard USB cable).
So – about the razor itself: I love it! While it doesn’t give that mirror-smooth kind of shave you get from a regular razor, I will say that it’s dang close. I have thick hair that grows back quickly, but even so: I would say that the Balder Boss provides a very close and comfortable shave that feels like how my scalp feels about 4-5 hours after I shave it with a regular razor, which I feel is impressive.
I am dry shaving with the Balder Boss, but I get no skin irritation afterward at all, which is also surprisingly impressive. For me the key is not to try to bear down too hard with the razor and just lightly press it to the scalp, shaving with both straight and circular motions. I also check how my scalp feels with the other hand to make sure I don’t miss any spots. I am able to completely shave my scalp in about 3 minutes or less.
I’ve tried the faster Turbo mode, and it works just fine. But honestly I find I’m happy with the shaving closeness with just the standard speed.
I’ve now had the razor for about a month, shaving every 2-3 days, and the original first charge only just today went down to the one remaining flashing bar, which the manual says is the best time to charge the unit (and not after every shave).
The razor is super easy to clean after each use, which is great. Simply remove the shaving head, brush both it and the inside of the motor unit (which holds all the cut stubble), thoroughly rinse off both in the sink with warm water and allow to air dry. Per the manual I use the oil (or what’s left it….) to lubricate the blades, which is just a simple matter of putting a drop of oil on your finger tip, gently rubbing it into the FRONT of each of the five circular blade unit guards (not the back/inside with the green plastic blade holders), then wiping off the excess and letting it air dry.
Worth noting that the XR7120USD model number Balder Boss does NOT come with a storage pouch – which as I’ll explain in a moment is important to know. I was able to get a generic one here on Amazon that fits it and its cables just fine.
So, I decided to contact Remington via the support form on their website, to ask all of these various questions in hope of getting some clarity about the confusing model names and numbers on the box and paper manual, as well as try to find out about which is the correct replacement head to use for the Balder Boss specifically.
I was pleasantly surprised to get a quick response from them the following day, asking if I could send them a photo of the label on the outside of the box – they appeared to be equally confused about the different numbers I saw on the box label, paper manual, and the Amazon website too! I sent them the photo of the box you see here, as well as a screenshot of the model number on the Amazon page.
Long story short: while they had no answer as to why the label said “BALDER PRO” instead of “BALDER BOSS” – Remington support said that the only real difference between the “XR7100” and “XR7120USD” is that the XR7100 comes with a storage pouch, while the XR7120USD does not. Otherwise, both are still the actual Balder Boss version, which you can also confirm by seeing that it has a red stripe around the unit above the rubberized grip, has a circular power button (instead of the rounded rectangle power button of of the Balder Pro), has the smaller Turbo button above it, and has 5 white power lights configured in an arc.
Remington support also confirmed that the correct replacement head to get for the Balder Boss specifically is the Remington Balder Titanium Replacement Head for Electric Razor (model number SPR-XR7100-T), also available on Amazon…not to be confused with the “Balder Pro Head Rotary Shaver Head Replacement Assembly | SPR-XR7000”.
All in all, I’ve been really happy with the close, comfortable, and fast shave I’m getting with the Balder Boss! I hope this additional information I received from Remington support will help clear up any confusion you may have had like I did as well.

Similar form factor to other brands. First use today was promising. Other brand(s) tried in the past took forever to get only a non-satisfactory shave. This Remington first shave was quick and fairly close. Testing continues.
