After using this product for 2 months, I feel I can give an informed review. I have tried numerous electric razors and none even came close to the performance of a disposable razor. Some would do ok, but it took a lot of time to get every whisker, so I always went back to disposables. After reading the reviews for the F5-5800, I decided to give it a try and I am very happy I did!
First off, I was using generic 5 blade disposables and was getting a close shave by going against the grain. I never thought an electric razor would give a comparable shave, but happily, I was wrong. The F5-5800 is damn close to disposables... I would even go as far as to say it’s as close as you can get with an electric razor. The prof for me was, with disposable I could shave once a day with minimal growth. With other electric razors I had to shave once in the morning and then again come late afternoon. With the F5-5800 I shave once in the morning and my shadow doesn’t appear until late in the night, nearly as long as it took with disposables.
Another complaint I had with electric razors is having to go over the same spot again and again to get a clean shave. With the F5-5800, I shave the area twice, just like a disposable. Now, you do have to move the F5-5800 slowly to do the job in 2 swipes, but that’s fine with me and adds very little time to shaving.
The foil is very comfortable against my skin and I have had no problems with irritation at all. I think the folks who had foil problems were either pressing too hard against the skin or the blades were somehow moved up out of place.
I also shave my body. I work out and don’t like the look of a hairy body. The F5-5800 handles this job easily with no pulling or irritation.
The design makes it comfortable to hold and the pivoting head follows the contours of my face and body easily.
The charge lasts for about 4 days of my use and I assume those who shave only their face could a week out of one charge.
The motor is a little loud, but I’m sure that’s due to the power output, which is a more than fair trade in my opinion.
I have skipped a day here and there and the F5-5800 breezed through the extra growth with no hesitation or pulling.
The F5-5800 is well built unit that looks elegant in my opinion. It feels solid and even after the extra time it takes to shave my body, it feels good in my hand - very comfortable. And while looks aren’t important when it comes to a razor, it’s a bonus that I don’t want to hide it when not in use!
Lastly, the price point was excellent! I paid around $40 for it and it came with an extra foil and set of blades which were priced at $20 the last I looked.
If you are looking for an electric razor that cuts as close as a blade without going over the same area 10 times, the Remington F5-5800 fits the bill perfectly! And at this price point, you can’t go wrong!

Know What You're Buying
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 budgetIf 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.

Now for the bad. The replaceable guard is very fragile and broke within the first week, it's not the biggest issue however as the guard and blades have to be replaced every 6 months anyways so I'm not docking too many points. Another not real issue but one for me is that the machine isn't water proof so it can't be used in the shower or with wet skin, dry skin for best results. The trimmer is basically useless so don't bother with it. It takes 12 hours to charge completely which is a feature that most companies use on their products to extend the batteries life span, still annoying though.
In all, it's a good razor, and the issues I have with it are minor at best, 4 stars.
