The Remington MicroScreen MS2-390 is a basic electric shaver without many bells and whistles, but reviewers say you can't do much better for the money. One review found that it performed nearly as well as the widely praised Braun Series 5 570cc (*Est. $190), which costs three times as much. User reviewers praise the Remington MS2-390 electric razor for providing a close shave and for holding its charge well. Noise is an oft-cited criticism, and the trimmer is called too bulky to be useful. If you prefer a rotary shaver, the Philips Norelco HS8420 Nivea for Men Razor (*Est. $75) also gets good reviews and can be used for a wet shave in addition to standard dry use.

ConsumerReports.org provides the most objective and thorough review of the Remington MicroScreen MS2-390 in a roundup that compares 17 electric shavers. User reviews at Amazon.com are plentiful. Though the majority are pleased, a significant number are less so, supporting the idea that satisfaction with electric razors is very much a personal issue. A video review at ExpoTV.com gives viewers a chance to see the MS2-390 in action.
