Andis 17300 reSURGE Electric Lithium Titanium Precision Foil Wet/Dry Rechargeable Shaver, Black

This product is truly remarkable. How did this small Andis company get so many things right when the two major players, Braun and Norelco are missing the boat?Let me tell you what I mean and about the best features.DesignThe razor is packaged like an Apple device. Opening it provides the customer with a sense of confidence, as the product oozes confidence in its tightly integrated box.The design of the razor is sleek, beautiful, minimal and as a result is super easy to use. The razor has a soft touch area on it, is matte, and it has beautiful gold colored metal accents. It is the perfect size and it’s straight (non curved) design allows it to be packed in a Dopp kit easily.There is one button. It controls on and off. It is also used to lock the device to inadvertently keep it from turning on in a luggage. To lock it press and hold for 5 seconds until the light flashes. To unlock press and hold until it turns on (about 5 seconds). This also makes it an excellent travel razor.There are three LEDs that show charge level and status. Charging is done in about an hour I believe. I believe you get two hours of use but this razor will work in less than half of the time as it’s competitors (more on that below).There is one USB-C port (more on that below, as well).There is also a cover that magnetically attaches to the top to protect the foil.Under the magnetic cover is the foil. The cover (foil) removes easily but is secure at the same time. Cleaning is super easy with an included brush. Simply brush the foil off into the sink. The plastic used on this razor is thick and feels premium.UseAs mentioned it is simple to use. Press the button to start and the motor hums alive. Press again and it is off. The shaver shaved extremely close. In about 30 seconds I shaved my entire face so close that I thought I used a blade, or as my wife said, it felt as though it was waxed. I tried my chest next. Super fast and again felt waxed. The shaver feels like it shaving so close it will give you razor burn but it doesn’t. I have super sensitive skin.You can also use this as a wet razor but I only used it dry. So in theory you could also wash the razor off in a sink.My Braun and Norelco razors (both only a couple years old and about $100 and $200 respectively), required longer shave times going over the spots multiple times. With the Andis razor one pass shaved the area clear of hair. This razor shaves a good solid stubble to absolute smoothness on one single pass. On longer hair (say 1/2 inch) it would be best to trim that with a different razor or keep passing over it until it cuts it. I tried it on longer armpit hair and although it eventually cut it, it required multiple passes.USB-CThe most magical part of this razor is that it comes with a USB-C charger that plugs into the wall. I will only use the wall charger when home and plan to bring a simple USB-C cord with me when on the road.The big razor companies are missing out using proprietary chargers or building special holders that charge the razor and clean the head. I would imagine most people don’t want this today, as they crave simplicity. No one certainly wants to travel with a huge charging holder that is proprietary or bring more cords on the road, let alone have to keep track of that stuff at home.Plus, all of these companies tout being “green” but the lack of USB-C and giant plastic holders that use special cleaners show their true motive.What is MissingThe only thing missing on the sleek packaged, amazing Andis razor is a tight and small case and a small sideburn trimmer. Even if we had an option to buy a case afterwards, that would be welcome as this razor is an excellent travel companion. I also don’t mind not having a sideburn trimmer as I have other options and soon I hope they will be Andis options.Bottom LineI love this razor and I have already told many people in the first few hours of ownership about it. This product will make me consider other Andis options. I hope Andis takes on Philips Norelco’s OneBlade. I love the OneBlade product, but it could use massive improvements including more power, faster charge times, sleeker design, USB-C, and closer shaving capability.Andis is a top end company and this razor proves it.

This is my second Andis cordless rechargeable shaver. I bought one after my barber used an Andis for touch up work during my haircut, and my first Andis was by far the best electric razor of any kind I had ever used. My lady friend and I agree it provides an amazingly close shave. Quite reasonably priced, too. I bought the Andis reSurge Professional, because I thought the different design would provide better travel portability. Much to my surprise, the reSurge Professional actually gives an even better shave than my original Andis. Interesting observation, I think: The shaver comes in a LARGE and very fancy box. This box gives you the impression of something a fancy watch (or several fancy watches) would come inside of. A surprisingly large Prime shipping box was needed; I wondered if something else was in there!

I looked around for a replacement for my old Andis when it was time to buy a replacement blade/foil. I tried top tier alternative but found it awkward with my small beard and moustache. I hadn't searched for an Andis so I missed seeing this Andis 2.0 reSurge. It is definitely a big improvement. They have kept the two-tiered blades which makes shaving around a beard very easy. Cleaning is a 'snap' and the magnetic cover doesn't dislodge like the old standard Andis shaver. And the shave is very close (the blades are heavier and redesigned). Overall evidence of thoughtful/useful redesign.

Shave is adequate. I've used it at least 8 times without recharging it! The longer body allows me to grip it with 2 hands, a must for a guy with a tremor.

I bought this to shave below my beard line, but all it did was chew on my neck and gave me an uneven stubbly shave. I tried using it twice and both times it left my neck irritated, nicked and bleeding in several places. This was my second attempt using it (with shaving cream.) The first time was even worse. Some of the cuts and welts still hadn't gone away before trying it the second time a few days later.The main culprit is the middle blade that's supposed to shave longer hairs, which mostly works. The problem though is that it wants to bite off too much and take some skin along with it!They send this to you in an unnecessarily fancy box and the shaver itself looks very sleek and modern, but it's clearly all just to trick you into thinking that you got your money's worth. This thing is awful. I'd rather use a straight razer on my neck than use this again. Returning it for a refund immediately.This is my first time reviewing anything on amazon, but I had to try to warn other buyers of how awful it is. Protect your neck and avoid this one at all costs!

Bought the hype, it will irritate scalp more than my 5 year old braun series 7. (argubly the best braun, but still had hopes for a nonconsumer brand with years of tech to beat it.)

The best shaver Ive used. Usually they last less then a year its been much longer this time and its still going. This is because no water damage for it cuts so well you have it near the water much less. Cuts very close to and doesn't bother me to much with redness. Leave it leaning up to drain water.

I love this shaver. I use it everyday at work. It charges quick and it’s pretty quiet and quick!
