Why the Remington X9 Makes a Great Christmas Gift for Him
A Gift He’ll Use Every Day
Most Christmas presents get used once. A shaver gets used a few times a week, for years. If the man in your life is still using an old razor, or a shaver that’s seen better days, this is a gift that gets used and appreciated.
Under £40 and Easy to Wrap
At £39.99 it fits comfortably into a £40 budget, and it’s a gift that looks like you made an effort. It’s a good fit for dad, your husband, your partner, your son, your granddad or anyone who has everything but still has stubble. It’s also a sensible stocking filler for the bigger-than-average stocking.
Cordless, Waterproof and Simple to Use
There’s nothing to assemble and no complicated settings. Charge it, switch it on and shave. Because it’s waterproof it’s easy to rinse clean, and it works for a quick shave in the morning or a longer one in the bath or shower.
And if the hairiest person in your house is actually you, nobody is going to stop you buying one for yourself. We won’t tell.
Remington X9 Price Comparison: Home Hardware vs Amazon vs Remington
How Much Does the Remington X9 Cost in the UK?
We compared the price of the Remington X9 Rotary Shaver, model XR1795, with Amazon UK and Harvey Norman on 20 October 2026:
| Retailer | Product | Price | Checked | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home Hardware Direct | Remington X9 Rotary Shaver XR1795 | £39.99 | 20 Oct 2026 | In stock online |
| Amazon UK | Remington X9 Rotary Shaver XR1795 | £59.31 | 20 Oct 2026 | Sold by a third-party seller and dispatched by Amazon, free delivery |
| Harvey Norman UK | Remington X9 Limitless X Rotary Shaver XR1795 | £79.00 | 20 Oct 2026 | In stock, £5.99 delivery |
That’s £19.32 less than Amazon, around a third off, and £39.01 less than Harvey Norman, almost half price. We searched other UK retailers as well and couldn’t find it cheaper than £39.99, but some big retailers’ sites don’t show prices to automated checks, so we can’t promise it’s the lowest in every shop. If you find it cheaper in the UK, we’d love to know.
What You Get With the Remington X9 Rotary Shaver
Remington X9 Features Explained
These are the features Remington list for the XR1795 on their UK website:
- SYNX hybrid cutting system: combines the power of a rotary shaver with the closeness of a foil shaver.
- PivotBall and individual flexing blades: the heads move to follow the contours of your face, including around the chin and jaw.
- PowerSense technology: the shaver adjusts to your hair density, so it works with thick stubble as well as a light shave.
- Shave Comfort rings: designed to improve glide and reduce friction.
- Shave-Learn LED: learns how long you take to shave and shows you how many shaves are left until the next charge.
- 100% waterproof: safe to use in the shower and easy to rinse clean.
- Up to 60 minutes cordless use: plenty for several shaves between charges.
Remington’s UK site also lists a free 1 year extended warranty and 30 day returns when you buy from them. Warranty terms can differ by retailer, so check with us if you need to know about ours before you buy.
What’s in the Box
Remington’s product photo for the XR1795 shows the shaver together with a click-on trimmer attachment, a comb attachment, a cleaning brush, a USB charging cable and a zipped storage case. Pack contents can vary, so check the product page or ask in store if you need to be sure before you buy.

Rotary or Foil Shaver: Which Is Better?
Rotary shavers use round, circular heads that flex to follow the curves of your face and neck. Foil shavers use flat, straight cutting heads. People often say foil shavers give a closer finish on a flat area and rotary shavers cope better with a few days of growth and around the jawline. The SYNX hybrid system in the X9 is Remington’s attempt to get the best of both. If you’re not sure which type he prefers, it’s worth checking what he uses now. If he already likes a rotary shaver, this is an easy upgrade.
How to Get the Best Shave From a Rotary Shaver
Tips for a Smooth, Comfortable Shave
- Start with clean, dry skin for a dry shave. Because the X9 is waterproof, you can also use it with shaving foam or gel in the shower. Check the manual for Remington’s own advice.
- Use circular movements. Rotary heads are designed to move in small circles, so you don’t need to press hard.
- Let it do the work. Pressing harder doesn’t give a closer shave, and it can irritate your skin. PowerSense adjusts the power for you.
- Stretch the skin gently on your neck and jawline to help the heads pick up every hair.
- Rinse after use. Clean out the stubble regularly so the heads keep working at their best, and let it dry before putting it away.
- Replace worn heads. Shaving heads wear out over time, so check the manual for how often Remington recommend replacing them.
