Remington Electic Razor

This review was written by my husband who has decided to join me here at Empowering Mommy. He won't post often but from time to time, his voice will be joining mine. 


I was 18 when I went into the Air Force. One of the requirements for wearing the uniform was to be clean shaven. This was not a problem with me as I had to shave two or three times a week to meet this requirement. Although I’m not in the military any longer, the position I hold requires me to be clean shaven.  You can have facial hair but mine comes in patches here and patches there. Rach has banned me from growing a beard because it makes me look like a hobo. So, I’m forced to shave every day. Shaving with a razor every day has caused my face to break out and for me to have very sensitive skin.


I wanted to try an electric razor but I have had a troubled history with those. My Grandma gave me one when I was 20 and it felt like it was pulling the hair off my face! Rachael has tried to get me to try an electric shaver again for a while but the image of pain and torture comes to mind. Maybe I’m a pushover but I finally relented. She received the Remington R4135 for me to review.


It’s an entry level model that doesn’t break the bank. I cringed as I held it to my face for the first time only to be relieved that there was no pain! My face didn’t break out either after using it consistently. It’s easy to clean and holds a charge really well.


The only thing I would change would be a more efficient edger for sideburns. That part doesn’t cut short hair very well. The edger does cut the hair on the back of my head really well though. My very helpful wife uses it to clean up my neck once in a while so that I can put off going to the barber.

Overall, if you’ve been reluctant in trying an electric shaver, try the Remington R4135. I’ve been using it for three months now and it is still shaving like when I pulled it out of the box. It won’t hurt your wallet either if you decide you’re more of a razor kind of guy.

You can purchase the Remington Razor from Amazon.com or even pick it up at Walmart or Target.

Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine For You Giveaway {Ends 1/14}

Winner - #74 - Stephanie
Winnie the Pooh and his friends are very special to my daughter.  Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger are all very special friends so anytime she gets the opportunity to watch them - she is excited.
We recently had the opportunity to review Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You Special Edition and were as thrilled with this movie as ever.  This is a classic Pooh movie that will be re-released on January 5th.  While I feel it is too early to think about Valentine's (didn't Christmas just end?), this will be a cute movie for any toddler or preschooler for Valentine's Day.

Synopsis:  This Valentine themed animated collection features three Winnie the Pooh stories including a new-to-DVD adventure (“My Hero) a fun bonus feature (“Catch the Love Bug” game), Pooh-themed Valentines cards inside each DVD plus all features from the original.  In Un-Valentines Day, it's that warm and wonderful time when Pooh and his pals like to show how much they care. But Rabbit wants to cancel Valentine's Day because last year, he was up to his ears in the flood of cards that littered the Hundred Acre Wood. Reluctantly, everyone agrees -- until someone anonymously sends Pooh a pot of honey. Suddenly, the Valentine rush is again out of control, much to the delight of all -- including Rabbit. In A Valentine for You, Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Rabbit see Christopher Robin making a valentine for a girl and find he's been bitten by a "Smitten" and is lovesick. Worried that he'll no longer have time for them, and hoping a second bite from the love bug will cure him, they set out on a wild adventure to capture the Smitten. My Hero is a new-to-DVD adventure that shows the lesson of two friends truly helping each other. When Piglet saves Tigger’s life, Tigger decides to repay the favor by being Piglet’s servant. But Tigger’s new job causes Piglet more harm than good. When Tigger saves Piglet’s life, his obligation to be the servant is erased and all is back to normal.

My Opinion:  Gracie loved this new movie and enjoyed the Bonus Features the most.  There is a great "Catch the Love Bug Game" that she adored and we played together for an hour.  The special Valentine cards included inside the movie will be great fun for her to hand out to her friends and they are so cute!

You can preorder or purchase Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You Special Edition from Amazon.
