Shaving is not a boredom task anymore as you can do it in minutes. The Remington SP290 Flexing Foil Replacement Screen is designed to be used with the Remington shaver model F4790. It is a replacement shaver head that has a flexing foil replacement screen. The blades used in the shaver head are titanium coated for ultimate performance. It also comes with a replacement cutter and makes shaving smooth and easy.
I have ordered this product from a variety of sources in the past. Wal-Mart's price is comparable to what is available at other discount sources. However, from the time I ordered the product until the time it was available at my local store using the 'To Store' pickup, two weeks had elapsed. This is an unreasonably long time as compared to other sources. Although I will continue to use this product, I will order from other sources in the future.

Review 3 for Remington SP290 Flexing Foil Replacement Screen
The replacement blades and foil work fine but don't seem to last as long as the original. Typically I can get six months out of a replacement shaving five days a week while the original lasted twice as long. Makes one wonder if the old theory of giving the razor away to sell them the blades has now invaded the electric shaver market? Once, the replacement must have been damaged as the foil wore through in just about a month. Yet, that was the exception not the rule.

Review 4 for Remington SP290 Flexing Foil Replacement Screen
I bought a Remington 4790 electric razor several years ago. Last week one of the screens broke through, so I searched around and found the one that was the right replacement screens, (but also had new shaving heads) with the best price at Walmart . I ordered it site to store to save shipping, which made it take an extra week, but they sent a notice to my email when it was ready, we picked it up no problems, and it works like new again. I like the razor because the head pivots, and the individual screens are spring-loaded so it works around my chin well.

Review 6 for Remington SP290 Flexing Foil Replacement Screen
This Product is made of cheap material compared to the original one that the shaver came with. The cutter rollers will come lose and are thinner thn original ones. foil feels very rough on skin. it irritated my skin right away. Remington is not making these shavers as they used to.

Review 7 for Remington SP290 Flexing Foil Replacement Screen
SP290 Remington replacement head has worked very well for me. In two years I have replaced the head only once. I just bought a second head, which is not yet put in use. Have been very satisfied with the Remington razor using the SP290 head.

Review 11 for Remington SP290 Flexing Foil Replacement Screen
I bought two of these replacement foils less than a month ago and I am already on the second one. Problem: On the third use the foil frayed and shredded my face. I always shave with a razor, but I got the electric shaver for the days that I don't have a lot of time. I can only hope the second one lasts a LOT longer. The worse thing was, I could not tell it was scratching me. It just felt like my face was a little irritable. I wish I had a picture to show you... but needless to say, I won't be buying Remington in the future.

Haven't used it yet because the original heads are still cutting fine; but this is a very good price for replacement heads.

Works just as good or better than new. Found at a local K-Mart for 14.98, so bought two. Great close and comfortable shave, and fast too. Might try the new Remington Spectrum next, but my current unit will have to wear out first, since I found the replacement blades and head in a store. I do most of my shopping at Walmart, so wish they would carry them too.

Very pleased with Remington shaver. Shaves better than a double blade safety razor without giving skin irritation or bumps. Replacement parts seem a little on the high side, but cheaper than other brands. Head and blade will last for about a year. Wish Wal-Mart carried the replacements head and blade combo in local stores.

The first replacement blade I've bought for an old razor. This blade made the razor shave as good as new.

Review 18 for Remington SP290 Flexing Foil Replacement Screen
Wears out quickly and leaves face black

I purchase my Remington shaver from my local Walmart for a good price less than a year ago. When the "Flexing foil" wore out, I found that you can not buy the replacements in the store! They are only available online. I orders 3 as it seemed the one that came with my shaver wore really fast. Guess what? I just replaced my first one and it didn't even last a month. It's a poor design, hard to snap into place and the thing is packed with a grease that leaves your face black after shaving. You would think all that grease would help it last longer. If this one doesn't last any longer I will be looking for a new shaver somewhere else.

Why can't this item be sold in stores? If you sell the razor in the store why not sell the replacement head also in the store.
