About the product
Shave close with the Remington F5 Foil Shaver with Interceptor Shaving Technology. The 3-stage system uses the intercept tool for pre-trimming longer hairs and two flexible foils for close shaving. Plus, you’ll get up to 20 days of shaving between charges thanks to the 60-minute cordless runtime. The Remington F5 combines power and technology for a great shaving experience.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
Remington F5-5800 Foil Shaver
- This is a flex foil shaver, and for me it shaves significantly closer than the rotary shaver I'd been using over these three years.
- I purchased this shaver on a whim - was curious about how well a foil shaver would do, Overall, I really like it!
- This razor is not wet dry but is rinseable so the small amount of water and soap doesn't hurt a thing. Amazing. Best shave I've ever had.
- The charger works very fast and holds it charge for an entire week.
- The shaver washes up easily.
Braun Series 3 [3040s] Men's Electric Razor
- Works well on thin hair. Very little skin irritation (if any), even right after the shave. Wet shaving is a HUGE plus
- Shaves well with lotion and thorough cleaning.
- This razor can be used wet with shaving cream or gel, but I’ve seen no reason to do that. Dry shaving works great for me.
- Have used this product for about a month now. Shaves very close on my face and man parts.
- Like any change in shaving device, it takes a few days for your beard to adapt. But that period was shorter with this razor for me. It is worth it.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Remington F5-5800 Foil Shaver
- The small size of the shaver makes it very to carry around.
- Its size is probably due to the large battery. All in all, a good purchase and it was indeed a great traveling companion.
- Its a great size and weight, the flex head is really nice, especially shaving my head. the angles can get tricky, that helps a lot.
- Weight is fine and grip comfortable.
- The size issue is peculiar since the power converter is actually on the line cord. I would have expected a smaller body.
Braun Series 3 [3040s] Men's Electric Razor
- The hair chamber is easy to clean. The design is comfortable and compact.
- Love it. Works well in a compact design.
- This razor is a good compact size and seems like it would be the perfect travel razor.
- Easy to use and very comfortable and compact. Great shave!
- Shaver is compact, battery life seems fine.

What customers say about "Control"
Remington F5-5800 Foil Shaver
- The battery seems to last a long time, and I really like the LED display.
- The LED light display showing remaining battery power is very slow to creep down. I really likes this feature.
- Love the battery status feature.
- It has a nice charge indicator that seems to work well.
- Convenient 5-light LED display shows percent of charge remaining, turns red when charging is required. After a month of use, I have no negative comments.
Braun Series 3 [3040s] Men's Electric Razor
- I like the battery indicator on the body and it charges fairly quickly.
- Like the fact it has a battery indicator so I know when it needs the charge. Great razor.
- Excellent no fuss electric shaver. Low noise motor and charging/discharging light indicator.
- The only nice features are the trimmer and the battery power indicator!
- Good quality...but just dont know why the battery indication cannot be charged to full.

What customers say about "Features"
Remington F5-5800 Foil Shaver
- Quiet and well-designed ergonomically.
- It is a good shaver and very flexible to use.
- It's a smooth shave probably because of the flexibility.
- The shape and width of the handle feel ergonomically correct.
- The pop-up trimmer is one of the best I've used yet.
Braun Series 3 [3040s] Men's Electric Razor
- Good shaver. Especially for smaller faces or with face deep features (like jawline, under the nose, etc).
- I found this new design, without the charging base, to be more streamlined for travel and hence prefer it.
- A surprisingly quiet shaver. Good battery life from new.
- First of all, the design of the Braun razor is very helpful for shaving off the beard of the lips and will shave very thoroughly in only a few seconds.
- Smooth skin close shave, great quality design and feel, easy to clean, battery lasts very long, not loud, fair price.
