Remington Virtually Indestructible Foil Shaver for male 5100 PF7855, Yellow

This is the latest Remington screen shaver, the best one they have ever made. It’s just about waterproof, lightweight, fast charging, long-running, and like nearly all screen shavers, gives you a glass-smooth face without any nicks, cuts, or skips. (It will give you controlled stubble, too, if you want.) It can be used dry, or as I have done with screen shavers for decades, with a wet face and a little gentle soap like Neutrogena. The big difference with this shaver is that it is designed for wet use—it’s truly waterproof, and can be rinsed under the faucet when done, and all parts that get wet won’t get rusty. This is the only Remington that was ever designed to work wet, though I’ve successfully used a long string of Remingtons that way successfully with careful rinsing and thorough drying, and added electrical insulation for the earliest of them. This one uses a rechargeable internal battery and a wall-plug low voltage supply, so it’s perfectly safe to use wet since you only plug it in to recharge it. All in all, I dare any users of expensive Braun or other screen shavers to get a better or faster shave thn this $50 shaver delivers. Though no screen shaver will survive a drop onto the floor if the screen end hits the floor, this one will probably only need a new screen and cutter. All in all, buy it and try wet shaving. You’ll never go back to a dry Braun.

I've been using this shaver daily for over a year and a half. Very happy with it. Great build quality from what I've experienced. Comfortable shave. Gets a lot of hair quickly and the foil is a good quality.

Virtually, not literally, indestructible. After about 3 and a half years, the bracket that hold the blades broke in the head of the razor. The razor was great up until this point. The nonsense that ensued concerning the warranty is where they lost one star in the rating. Because it had a lifetime warranty, I contacted the company. Customer service was responsive but not very accommodating. I was told that all was needed an email with proof of purchase and a picture of the broken part. After I sent that email, we corresponded on at least three additional occasion as they kept requesting additional pictures. This went on for a couple of weeks until it was approved for me to send the razor back to them for inspection and I had to pay return shipping. Then no word. It took a subsequent call and emails where I had to prove I sent it to them by providing them the tracking number. Only then did I finally receive a replacement. I really believe that they were hoping I would give up. Very disappointing. It was such a production for a low cost item.

I have around a dozen Remington shavers, most of them new, and some are old stock plug ins which I like better than the battery-powered ones. But this shaver is outstanding in virtually every way. The dual foil (which Remington used to call MicroScreen) cuts close and is very comfortable. This shaver does have a lifetime warranty (except for batteries and cutter/foils), so if anything happens like the switch breaks, or the pivot breaks, they'll replace it. This shaver is very quiet and the thing I like most is that, at age 76, my hands are a little unsteady, and this shaver has great rubber grips on the side. I don't take my shaver in the shower, but for those who do, that would be an even greater benefit. This shaver is very reasonably priced too. Unlike some of Remington's other shavers, this switch is hard plastic...a benefit. Some have a rubber-covered switch. My experience is that these eventually wear through and then you are pushing the plastic button under the switch. I give this great marks. If there is only one minor thing, it seems the foil cover does not snap on as securely as my F5-5800 models. Some other reviewers mentioned that too, but thus far, it is not an issue. I guess I would sum up that this great shaver is fairly priced, lightweight, quiet, close shaving, and feels good in your hands and it won't slip as much as some others shavers might. Thanks to Amazon, as it is much cheaper than in some major retailers, including Remington itself.

Easy order,prompt delivery, excellent shaver

This Remington indestructible foil shaver had 4.3 stars from over 1300 reviews averaged. It has a note saying that it is frequently returned, but I couldn't find any reviews on why. Well, let me clear that up.This was by far the most painful shave I've ever had from an electric razor... and even the dull rusty blade razers, too. It's certainly close and smooth afterward, but the shave itself was terrible. I fully charged the razor before my first use despite it showing a full charge upon arrival (I had it plugged in for 4 hours). It felt as if every single one of my hairs was being pulled out individually, one by one.Now, to be clear, I had two-day-old growth when I tried this, which, while not daily, isn't exactly asking too much from most razors. I'm not in any ethnic group where you'd expect a 5 PM shadow to be longer than most people after a week. The first few passes pulled and tugged like no one's business.On top of that, a clicking noise came from the foil throughout the shave. It sounded like someone playing with the tab on a soda can as I ran the razor over my face. I stopped it, opened it up, and verified that everything was in place and firmly attached, but the noise continued.It may be indestructible and frankly, I'm ready to test that aspect, too. I'm leaving it plugged in overnight and will try again in the morning just in case it needs a longer charge, but I seriously doubt it. If this review is dated more than a few days ago, then it didn't perform any better and I shipped it back. 0 stars, rounded to 1.
