I recently received this shaver as a gift--and yes, it was on my list. Whatever the givers paid for it, it was worth it! I haven't cut my legs in weeks, as I used to do with my old manual razor--that one that many women have, y'know, named after a goddess, *hint hint*. I'm waiting for that drop of blood to be shed, but this little wonder doesn't seem to want to hurt me! Many people just dive into using this razor without reading the instruction manual--stupid move! If you read it properly, it tells you to give it a couple of weeks for your skin/hair to get used to it. It took me about a week, and my legs are SO smooth! It's never been so easy to shave. I've tried it both wet and dry, and it's very effective both ways, but it's more effective wet with a bit of shave gel. Try it out--Remington gives you a 30 day "no questions asked" $$$ back guarantee. You really can't lose...and you'll save money in the long run with this little baby! Buy it, read the instructions, try it, treat it well, and it'll give you great results, and maybe even make you look forward to shaving. Scary thought, eh?

This razor is by far the greatest razor I've ever used! I've had it for nearly 2 years & I am still as amazed with it's performance as I was the very first time I used it. I never thought that I would find an electric razor that shaved my legs so close that they felt as smooth and soft as with a straight edge razor. I've owned several razors over the past 18 years... They all performed about the same, and they cut the hair so that it didn't show, and that was it. I decided to try ONE LAST TIME to buy electric... When I saw the Remington WDF-5000 Women's Smooth & Silky Plus Body Contour Shaver this was THE last resort. My legs feel smooth and soft to the touch AND feel SHAVED when the sheets of my bed touch them. I am a mother of SIX children, and I only shave between Once a week and Once a month! This razor does the Job EVERY TIME! Each time I have thought it was time to replace the razore I've brushed it with it's brush & it has just shaved right on good as new! I'm ordering a new kit for it now, but I may not need to install it for several more months. If you want a close, smooth, comfortable, shave without any nicks BUY THIS!

The razor is a bit louder than my previous electric razor, but this unit has more options than what I had been using such as three settings for short (stubble), short & long (2 or more days since shaving last), and long hair growth. Another feature I liked was that the foil heads on the unit move independently of one another--giving you a better chance getting at those odd-shaped places like the knee and ankle areas. No electric razor I've tried gives the same close shave as using a blade razor (hence 4/5 stars), but I'll take slightly less closeness over the irritation and razor rash from a blade shave any time!

Let's face it: you can't rake an electric shaver over your skin and expect it to do the same job as a plain old razor. But then again, electric shavers typically don't leave you with painful nicks and razor burn! I read the directions carefully before using this product, and found that using it with warm water and shaving gel was optimal. I have had no problems with the charge running out and I find the unit easy to disassemble and to clean. There are three levels for shaving, depending on the length of hair- which is a very accommodating feature to have. I would say that if you want the closest shave possible, stick with a razor, but if you are willing to settle for the next best thing (electric), this shaver does the job very well.

I absolutely love my new shaver.As everyone else is I'm sure,I was skeptical about a close shave,etc. Well-I was pleasantly surprised. I get a very smooth shave & the best part-"no cuts". My bigggest advice to all who purchase it is:give yourself 2-3 weeks for your skin,etc to adjust. Be patient-It's worth it!!! Enjoy!

I've read some of the reviews here and luckily have not experienced any kind of problem with the razor or my skin. I have been using an electric razor for in-between shaves for 15 years and this one is wonderful. I take it to the beach with me. The only thing I can recommend: Be CAREFUL if you use this on your underarms. I did find it a bit rough and will not be trying that again. However, it is wonderful for legs. It isn't as clean of a shave as with a razor but your legs will pass the visual inspection every time. It works pretty well on parts of the bikini area. It just takes time and practice to get the best results I think. I would definitely recommend this razor to women who prefer to use an electric every now and again.

This is my third electric razor and I liked it immediately. Unlike my previous razor, it made my legs feel smooth as if I shaved in the shower with a regular razor only without the itch and rash afterwards. What makes this one unique is that it has three settings for different length of hair growth. It's comfortable to hold unlike the previous "boxy" one I used. It feels more powerful than the others. I'm thoroughly pleased with the purchase.

This is the best shaver I have ever used, on my first try it was smooth slick and easy to handle and glide. The only problem I had was mild irritation, but that was only because it was my first time, and my skin is sensitive. Remington is easy to take care of and maintain. When I first thought I would use an electric shaver I thought it w0uld be complicated. I read the instructions and it was simple.
The best part was it didn't hurt, i never cut myself, most non electric shavers cut and leave scars. This one did none of that.

I purchased this shaver because of some reviews I had read. Let me tell you..I have owned electric women's shavers in the past and have never had one cut me when I used it. This one drew blood!! I have tried this shaver 3 times and 3 times it has cut my skin and drawn blood. Please be careful if you are thinking about purchasing this one or using it esp around delicate areas like under arms or bikini area.

It takes a little gettibg used to in sensitive areas (under arms and bikini) but once you use it a few times, WOW! I first bought this shaver a few years ago. It worked great even after being dropped many times on our tile floors. Until that fateful day my 2 year old threw it down and it broke. I tried two other razors, both of wich did not compare. I am ordering a new one on ebay. $9.99 (so far) Nothing compares, you get a close shave every time without the hassel of doing it in the shower (you could if you wanted)
