Does this shaver run while it is plugged in?

I do not believe it will run while plugged in - plug in is strictly for recharging.

Yes it does work while plugged in! But, if you want a close shave this is not the unit for you! If I had to do it over, I would have purchased a rotary shaver!

Yes, and it shaves quite well. My objection is that the on/off switch is so "conveniently" placed that my thumb tends to turn it off while I'm shaving- I have to avoid the switch while I'm shaving. Mark

i CLEAN THE SHAVER,MANUALLY,WITH A SMALL BRUSH FROM AN OLDER SHAVER,AFTER EACH USE.I run the the cleaning component,only when it needs the charge as well. No need to waste time on the whole clean,wash,dry and charge each time. Terry

I haven't noticed a light coming on before shut-down since I am usually shaving with the razor up to my face. It shuts down and I reach down and grab my cord, plug it in and resume shaving and then let the battery charge. I shave with the razor every day for around 5 or 6 minutes, and the battery charge lasts for over a month before it is necessary to re-charge.

Yes, the shaver still works with the cord after the battery no longer works. That is what happened to my last Remington shaver. It wouldn't hold a charge, so I just used the cord.

Yes, but it recharges very quickly. I get three balder shaves without noticing any loss of power.

Normally the charger/cleaner will tell you when to clean. It seems to between 4-5 shaves for me, but I have a dark heavy beard.

If you run the battery completely down so that it doesn't even start, you will have to plug it in for a minute or two before you can start shaving. Other than that its pretty much plug and play.

it does run plugged in but the instructions recommend against it so the battery can charge and then be used and charged again.

No. I hadn't tried it until I saw this question. I expected the answer to be "Yes", because my previous Braun shaver (which lasted 11 years) allowed me to use it while it was charging. But the 380S-4 would not switch on with the cord plugged in. On the other hand, the battery lasts a long time between recharges, so the problem won't come up often.

Yes you can shave while the razor is plugged in and it will chage at the same time

Yes, it can be used while plugged in, but it does not make any more power. It's a decent multiple purpose unit. Good for beards, hair cuts, ear and nose hair. But it's main draw back is it's not as powerful as the corded units, which will be better for beard and hair cutting. Otherwise my only complaint was if rather have a carry bag over a display stand that's included.

I have multiple devices plugged in at the same time: electric toothbrush, 2 clarisonic brushes and occasionally an electric razor/hair straightener and have had no problems.

Yep, but the cord isnt very long, and its kind of annoying to shave with it. But it works if youre in a pinch and need to shave but your battery is dead. It can also "quick charge" if you let it charge for a few minutes, it will last long enough to get a quick shave in.

It operates both plugged in and without the cord, when charged. Very handy feature. Hubby very pleased with the razor. It's his 4th Remington of that style but first one that works when plugged in, as well as cordless. They don't make them anymore, so Amazon is only way to go...

Actually it can be used both cordless and corded, the latter when NOT charged. This was it's best feature; here's why: you wake, get ready and Bam!, your shaver dies halfway thru the shave: now what do you do, miss your appointments while it charges? No, with this shaver you can shave, albeit awkwardly w/ dead battery while plugged in. However, read my concerns about other issues with this model on the question: "Will this charge in Europe"

The shaver includes a semi-soft case that fits the razor only. The purchase includes a cord that can be used to charge the battery or operate the razor, a tiny bottle of oil and a very small cleaning brush.The razor can be operated on the battery or can be plugged in and run that way. The only time I've used the cord to operate the razor was when I forgot to charge the battery.

Yes, the shaver operates either plugged in with the power/charging cord or on the battery alone. It comes with the shaver, a case, small brush, power/charging cord, and a small bottle of oil. It's a great shaver and my husband really likes it. He uses it all the time!
