Remington F5 Power Series Foil Shaver for Men, Cordless Rechargeable Razor | Close, Comfortable Shave Every Time, Pivot & FlexFoil Technology, Pop-Up Trimmer for Detailing, Lightweight Handheld Design

The Remington F5 Power Series Foil Shaver does not disappoint. I have been a loyal Remington user for decades and this razor is as good as my previous razors. Long lasting battery (about one hour of shave time per full charge), smooth, close shave with little effort, easy to hold and easy to clean. Pop-up trimmer works well for sideburns, beard/mustache trimming, unruly neck hairs, etc. Razor can be used with or without the cord attached. Has a quick 5 minute charge for one shave if needed. I expect this razor to last several years with regular replacement of blades and foil head (every six to twelve months). 5 STARS AND I DO RECOMMEND THIS ITEM I write honest reviews based on real life experience with each item to help others make informed purchases. I read reviews too, and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope that you find this review helpful!

This shaver works well and feels like good quality for the price. It gives a smooth, clean shave, is easy to use, and the cordless design is convenient. The battery holds up well for regular use, and it is simple to clean after shaving.

UpDate: Unfortunately it fell off of my bathroom counter and exploded the trimmer I understand they’re not supposed to be dropped per-se but I’ve got one that’s about 15+ years old that I dropped probably a dozen times so not very durable minus one and a half stars if I could but I can’t so I’ll leave at four because it does shave really well! Turns out the trimmer binds up on thicker hair also so like I say minus 1.5 stars for the trimmer!!!!! Last OK one was a braun, low end so didn't spend much but had for like 15 years! And still going but trimmer has failed but works if you hold it together.....This Remington, Shave as close as any blade, powerfull, good looks, Big, not a toy for 50 bucks in todays market/prices/inflation?!?!?!??? Very Very Nice!!! Brauns at 2/3 times this price with bad reviews so decided to go Remington and Soooooooo glad I did!!! Just buy it and you can thank me later, Lol......

Bought this to replace my previous Remington micro-screen, that I had for years. The rechargeable batteries in my previous Remington were starting to fail to hold a charge. Being a DIY'r, I was going to buy replacement Nimh and replace them on the shaver. The replacements would have cost $15, plus the delicate work or unsoldering the old and re-soldering the new ones in. When I saw this F5 on Amazon for $49, it only made sense to buy it instead. The shaver itself works very well. I appreciate that it has the led charge level lights. Another feature is the "quick charge" capability---will charge in 5 minutes. As far as shaving---no complaints. One thing to know: if you are replacing an older Remington, don't use the old power supply. It is rated at 100ma, and the new one that comes with the shaver puts-out 200ma. Which is necessary for the quick charge function. There are also important charging instructions included, so be sure to follow! 1) Fully charge for 24 hours before first use 2) Let the batteries run-down fully about every six months, before doing a recharge. To keep battery capacity fully functional.

Provides a really good close shave. I've never used an electric shaver before, so I was amazed how close a shave I got from this foil shaver, with no pulling. I was somewhat doubtful about foil shavers, but after using it twice, I believe I made a good choice in buy this item. The trimmer works really well, too. It does take a little time to find the right motion to get a good close shave but then again, I don't shave every day. For someone who does shave every day, this item does a good job.

I am a minister, so I try to keep clean shaven as best as I can. I've tried every kind of razor and shaving product under the sun (disposable razors, safety razors, straight razors). I have sensitive skin, and shaving with anything other than an electric razor every day wreaks havoc on my skin. I have been using electric razors for about 10 years now. I have had 2 Remingtons, 2 Norelcos, and 1 Panasonic. 1 Norelco and the Panasonic were high-end razors, the others were mid to low level razors. My facial hair is pretty thick and grows quickly. Know that electric razors do not shave as close as a manual razor (which is ok with most people) and so you will have to shave everyday if you want to stay smooth. The only reason I purchased this razor was because I accidentally dropped and broke a piece of my Panasonic that was irreplaceable. On to the razor: AESTHETICS: This razor is fairly nice looking. Not as sleek as some high end models, but that doesn't really matter. It's pretty heavy and feels sturdy. It's a lot wider than most of the other razors I've ever handled but I actually like that. POWER: This is the biggest strength of the razor to me. Man it will cut through any thickness of facial hair. NOISE: It is noisier than other razors I've had, but that may not be an issue for you. SPEED: Due to it's power, it shaves very quickly. COMFORT/SHAVE QUALITY: This is where I was disappointed. After using this razor, my face was severely irritated for the next few hours. To make things worse, the shave wasn't as close as what I was used to with my Panasonic ES8243. After all of the positive reviews, I was kind of disappointed. IF YOU READ ANY OF THIS REVIEW, PLEASE READ THIS! The reason I titled this "know what you're buying" is because this is a GREAT razor if: - You have thin, smooth facial hair - Can get away with shaving less often - Are on a budget If any of those apply to you, this is the razor to get! I do honestly believe for the money it is a good razor. If you are used to higher end models though, you will be disappointed. If you have thick, coarse, fast growing facial hair (and sensitive skin), I'd go ahead and spend the extra money and get a nicer razor because this one is pretty rough on your skin (and I know because I've had other models that leave no irritation). I ended up returning this razor and opted for another Panasonic after debating between it and the Braun Series 7.

This is a great electric razor at half the price of other competitors. High speed, the battery runs a long time on charges. Cus clean and close every time.

This is good foil razor, no doubts about a close and comfortable shave. Has a good weight in the hand, and doesn't pull or nicks the skin, goes on smooth. A couple of items on the negative side is that it's a bit noisy and it "leaks" some of the hairs it has shaved off. I sort of expected the former since I've had other foil Remingtons and they are all a bit noisier than the triple headed Norelcos I've owned, but they do shave a lot closer and in less time. As for "leaking" of shavings, well, I just don't know. Not sure if it's due to a defect in the Remington I got, or whether all the F5-5800 models do the same. To say the least, it's a bit annoying that the razor can't hold the shavings and they get over you. And it doesn't matter that the razor's "pocket" is emptied a couple of times during the shaving; give it a couple of passes and it starts to "leak" again. Oh, and by the way, I have average facial growth that I shave off each morning, so the razor is "leaking" an average day's facial growth. I gave it three stars due to the "leaking." UPDATE - 12/31/2014 Had rated the shaver with three stars and an "OK." That review triggered the following email from Remington, and I quote: "Hi, thank you for providing your feedback regarding your Remington product. We are sorry that our product did not meet your expectations and want to ensure your concerns are resolved. Please contact us at [email protected] and reference case ID number 1257649 or call 1-800-736-4648, so that we may better assist you." Did not expect any communications or offers to "assist," so I was curious and responded. This was Remington's response, and I quote: "Thank you for your reply. I would suggest cleaning the shaver once you are done with half of your face, then continuing on with the other half." Folks, that reply really and truly peeled my onion, so to speak. I do not need Remington to offer "assistance" that is keyed to make their customer feel they are stupid or idiots who just fell off a turnip truck! So here was my response to their "assistance," and I quote: "Wow! So the answer to a possible manufacturing defect is to cleaning the shaver once I'm done with half my face? And what do you honestly think I have been doing all along? Do you really believe I needed that kind of obvious advice - come on now, you must believe I was born yesterday and couldn't possibly figure out that option on my own - no kidding? Any way, it seems you are trying to gloss over a defect in these shavers, so I plan to return mine for a full refund. You know? Before your cavalier response I was just going to accept the "leak" and bear it, but after your simplistic and who cares? "workaround" to the problem, you have indeed opened my eyes to what I'd call the true Remington approach to a legitimate, annoying defect I've had the misfortune to stumble upon. Many thanks for wasting my time in responding to your first communication - this shaver is absolutely going back for a FULL refund, even though I was planning to keep it, and based on your response it will likely be the last Remington I care to buy. Wish your brand the very best wishes - rest assured you have just made me a Norelco customer." Bottom line: Retracted my original three stars to one, and strongly suggest DON'T BUY! this razor or any other Remington product for that matter. And Remington, rest assured I will make it my mission in life to let everyone know your company treats their customers as if they were idiots, let alone that you have a defective product line.

I like it a lot.

I was told this version of Remington buts the Brauns and Phillips to shame, and IT DOES. Great device for everyone who needs a clean look every day.

My husband really likes this shaver. He says it gives a very close shave and feels much smoother than his older one. It is a bit louder, but he says the performance makes it worth it. The shave is clean, fast, and comfortable, and he’s been using it every day without any issues. Great upgrade overall.

Came as mentioned.

This beats having to get the shaving cream and razor out all the time. Plus it's durable and easy to use. Great battery tracker too.
