The Remington X-System Precision Rotary Shaver (Model R3151AU) is a corded electric shaver designed for a close and comfortable shave. It features a rotary shaving system with three independent heads that adapt to the contours of the face, ensuring efficient hair removal.
Function Description:
The primary function of the Remington X-System Precision Rotary Shaver is to provide a smooth and precise shave. It is designed for dry shaving and is not suitable for use in the bath or shower. The shaver operates by capturing whiskers in its cutting chambers and then cutting them close to the skin. The X-System Precision technology aims to deliver an effective shave with minimal irritation.
Important Technical Specifications:

- Power System: Corded
- Voltage Type (adaptor voltage type): Worldwide 100-240V
- Replacement Part No. (for Shaving Heads & Cutters): SP-4141AH

Usage Features:
- On/Off Switch: Located on the shaver body for easy activation and deactivation.
- Rotary Shaving Heads: Three flexible heads designed to follow facial contours for a consistent shave.
- Pop Up Trimmer: A retractable trimmer (not shown in the main image but listed in key parts) for detailing sideburns and moustaches.
- Power Port: Located at the base of the shaver for connecting the power cord.
- Corded Operation: Ensures consistent power without the need for battery charging, making it suitable for continuous use.
- Shaving Technique: Users are advised to hold the shaver at a right angle to the skin, ensuring all three heads touch the skin with equal pressure. Short, circular stroking movements are recommended, especially in stubborn areas like the neck and chin. Stretching the skin with a free hand helps hairs stand upright, facilitating entry into the cutting chamber. It is important not to press hard, as this can flatten whiskers and cause irritation or faster wear of the cutting surface.
- Adaptation Period: As with any new shaver, an adaptation period of up to four weeks of daily shaving is recommended for the skin to adjust and for the user to develop an effective shaving style. This period may be longer for sensitive skin or if switching from other shaving methods.
- Included Accessories: The shaver comes with a head guard, a cleaning brush, and a power adaptor.
Maintenance Features:

- Head & Cutter Replacement: It is crucial to replace the shaving heads and cutters every 12 months to maintain a close, comfortable shave and prevent irritation. Signs of wear include skin irritation (especially noticeable when applying lotion) and a feeling of pulling or loss of closeness during shaving. Replacement parts (SP-4141AH) can be obtained from local retailers or directly from Remington.
