Axis AX-1300 Rev Foil Shaver

 (2 customer reviews)

This is an excellent shaver and it is definitely worth the price paid. It is much better than it's counterparts from Braun and Panasonic. Braun has just one large foil on its PocketGo, while Panasonic has two, but lacks what this shaver has - the trimmer in between the foils, which cuts long hair.
When I opened this shaver and had to clean it for the first time, I noticed that workmanship is so-so (plastic-feeling), but when I found out it was washable, I was definitely happy. It works fine - takes me less time to shave than with previous Remington, which had only one foil and was as noisy as 747 taking off.
Moreover, this shaver's got the looks as well - so if you wanna take smth to the gym and not look like you're 65 (no offence to those of you who are), it would definitely turn some heads.
I personally think that this shaver is very good as a gift idea, shaver to go, or just an every-day shaver for guys with not too much facial hair (raising my hand).

I purchased the AX-1300 2 months ago because I was looking for a good quality shaver that runs on AA batteries. I have tried the Remington Travel Shaver as well as the Braun 370 Pocket Go Shaver (each costing about $18.00) and found they required multiple passes to get all the facial hair cut. Given the prices of these shavers that was not a surprise. I was hoping that by spending more I would get a better quality shaver that gave a better quality shave. Unfortunately that was not the case. The AX-1300 shave quality is about the same as the much cheaper Remington and Braun shavers. I have followed the directions exactly was well as other ways (shaving with Lectric Shave, wet, dry etc...). The results are the same. I have to conclude that as a shaver the AX-1300 is not worth the extra $30.00 - $40.00.

As far as durability time will tell. The AX-1300 does seem to be better built and fits well in the hand.
