My fiance currently uses an older model Wahl Metro Model MC2, is this model comparable? He is a "whole head" shaver...Think Bruce Willis...

I don't know anything about that model, but if you want to buy a new one I highly recommend this model.

I have no clue, since I never had the older model. When you say "shave" do you mean like a bowling ball, or just a close crop. I use it to trim my full beard, but I see no reason why the attachments can't be used to give a "crew cut". But, it will not trim down to the scalp. Only a safely razor can do that.

It's a little lighter - not a bad thing - but I feel it's comparable. The one I have is at least 50 years old. Nothing wrong with it except I don't have any of the attachments. Well worth the cost!

Patti my sister has a YorkiPoo and she shaves her all the way down with no problem. I have a MultiPoo and it cuts her hair great. The blade is sharp enough you don't have to go over it but a couple of times.

I have had numerous Remington shavers including this one. Sorry to report that all of them have the same amount of noise. I also have a Norelco and it is much quieter.

The R4-5150A would make a reasonable replacement for the R845. The pivoting head is different but works at least as well as the fixed head in my opinion. The battery is probably better but I've only had mine for three months: so far a charge lasts me about a month. The shave is close and quick and the trimmer works well. The R4-5150A doesn't come with a carrying case but if you have one that fits the R845 you can use that. Overall the R4-5150A is as good or better than any shaver I have owned previously.

I have no basis of comparison. But for what it's worth, The Wahl 84900 continues to work very well for my wife (who has cut my hair for 50+ years) and myself. It replaced a very, very old Wahl. I have "normal length", old fashioned parted hair that gets cut about every 3 weeks. We do not use the clip-on attachments.

If you're looking for a close shave on your face then I would recommend the Wahl 8061 5-Star Series Rechargeable Shaver Shaper. It's awesome! I use it daily on my face and it doesn't give me any bumps or in-grown hairs. I actually prefer it over using a traditional razor for shaving. The Andis Styliner trimmer won't give you a close shave on your face at all in comparison to the Wahl Shaver Shaper. And I would say the same about the aforementioned products if you're going to use them for cutting your hair too. The Styliner will cut your hair very short to the point where you will just see stubble, but the Wahl Shaver Shaper will leave your scalp smooth and bald just as a razor would (some people say it even cuts closer than a razor). If you opt for the Wahl Shaver, you don't really need to apply that much pressure when using it on your face like a typical electric shaver. It works just fine with little/moderate pressure. It's a very reliable shaver and requires very little maintenance. Every so often you just need to pop off the top portion and brush out all the hairs on the blade and that's it. Once the foil on the top portion starts to wear out (which you will be able to see visibly, this takes a long time by the way) you can just order the replacement foil/blade and pop that right on and you're good to go. I hope this answered your question. If you're looking for something to use for shaving your face you won't be disappointed with the Wahl Shaver. I think it's the best shaver that's available and it's the only one that I use.

I switched to this from a Braun 5-Series. The Panasonic ES-LA63 is an absolute gem compared to the Braun. I NEVER had a shave with the Braun that didn't pull my hairs. Very painful. And if you haven't tried it yet, use the LA63 in the shower: Super close shaves, zero irritation! And your face will be as smooth as a baby's bottom.

It works ok. The shave is not as close as the better Braun models. It is a wet/dry model , so it has versatility.

I am sorry, I can only say this, I ordered the RQ12 because that's what the owners manuel specified for my razor. I couldn't recommend anything else one way or the other. Sorry. See additional info, I was a bit lazy the first time.

caught this post a minute ago...I just got my bigmouth back hair shaver in the mail Friday and i couldn't agree more. Looks like this is a fairly new back shaver but definitely hits the problem head on.

Sorry - Just a little late here, but since I doubt you've grown back your hair (neither have I), then you are still looking for the elusive shaver to master 3x as many tough spots as the average bro. I love the Panasonic Vortex on my face, neck, and head. I have used rotary shavers, and most recently had been a loyal Braun consumer. So I have experience with all kinds. I got 5 years out of my first Braun, but since the last one barely made 2 years (not very long IMHO for a $150 shaver) I decided to look around. LOVE the Panasonic. I like it 2x as much as the Braun. I get nearly as close a shave from it as I do with a Gilette Fusion.

Yes I have been using both. No problem. Just blow out the razor before you clean it to prolong the use.

Ask Wahl..I think they have a different system over there for their electricity but I don't know for sure..I do know for sure.That I love my Wahl..So does my wife, who is a stickler on haircuts..I have gotten my money back several times and did as good as the barber..and I didn't have to drive anywhere, listen to any stories, or pay $16 every 3 weeks..Keep it clean, keep it oiled and keep it in use..Practice makes it perfect..

It has been awhile since I purchased mine. It works great. Lots of attachments. The model on the shaver reads 76 - 76A. On the box it is called Classic 76 Professional. Like I've mentioned it has been quite sometime since my purchase. I enjoy mine each time I use it. It has a heavy feel to it and I'm sure that I researched before I made my purchase. These are the original cutters in America from way back. Now, who knows where anything is made and what kind of parts are in it. I am very pleased with mine.

I haven't used the Braun so I have no basis for comparison. I have used the Panasonic and it's a great razor for the price point. Sturdy construction, shaves well even in the shower and makes for a great travel razor.

It's a nice well built mobile shaver. I had one similar to this about 18 years ago and this one is a better built shaver. It gets the job done and the batteries seem to last longer than expected.
