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.
