Wet & Dry Foil Shaver, Men's Electric Razor, Electric Shaver

Just bought this today. The XF 5000. When you set the razor on charging station, it charges for about a minute then goes out as if not making contact with the probes sticking out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Review for XF8550 Smart Edge I was a little afaird to switch up shavers but after getting used to it. This trimmer is amazing it's fast and trimmers before than my current trimmer. Definitely work giving it a try! You won't be disappointed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Smart Edge Shaver a few months ago my husband loves the close shave it has given him. He was thankful to be able to try the shaver it is the only one he will use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This razor does what it needs to do, not a top of the line version but for an electric razor at a reasonable price, it is a good deal. It does pull on occasion but it does leave decently clean face.

I would like to say woo hoo! ,However, my old tripple screen still out preforms this model. Maybe it just needs to wear in and it will preform better??? One can hope. But as stated.. Remington still produces better shavers than other competition.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shaver was perfect beginning shavers. No worries about nicking or cutting yourself. Even good for older people with not as firm skin.

I like the ease of using this shaver but I don't get a real close shave.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a good shaver, in a sleek design. I have had it for a while now, and it still works very effeciently. I would say the only negative is it is a little costly for a shaver but it overall performs very well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product. Very close shave no irritation and battery lasts long time

Individual shaving preferences vary widely, I am certain. For my own need, it's the best I've tried. The XF8550 Remington performs quite well, Thank You!

It was not a good cutting razor. Not enough cutting heads to perform as expected. The F5790 is an excellent product. Too bad it was discontinued. The triple head design is an excellent design and product. Please bring it bad or something identical. Bring it back soon or something like it!!!

In the few weeks that I have used this Razor, I would say that it gives me closer shaves faster than the previous model that I have used.

I have used Remington for around 50 years. I have persevered for about 2 months hoping it would get better with use. It doesn't provide the close shave my 3 blade one did. It is slow and I have to run it over the same areas over and over. In order to get the shave I secured previously with the 3 blade. I have to either finish it off with my old razor or a blade . The protective cap falls off but that is a small matter. I am about to throw it away or give it to a grandchild to try.....

Just received my XF8550 Hybrid Foil on Thursday. Got tired of buying new blades for a crazy price, & got tired of the beard I decided to grow instead. The itchy, dry face from the beard just had to go. Glad I went this route. Did some diligent research over the last 2 weeks, & decided to go with this Remington XF8550. Having used a Remington Rotary electric years ago in my 20's, I was extremely skeptical, as the rotary electric gave me very red skin irritation. Felt like my skin was burning for 10 minutes after I'd finish. Plus, it felt more like it was plucking hairs, rather than cutting them. So after that experience, I just wasn't sure about getting another electric. But, with blade costs being so ridiculously high these days, I had to try something. Having researched some & learned that Foil's work better for sensitive skin, I started comparing the big brands, Braun, Panasonic, Norelco, & Remington. Braun, was just too spendy for my budget, as was Panasonic, for what I wanted. Norelco really offered nothing outside the typical 3 head Foil that I found in my price range. Once I came across this XF8550 Hybrid Foil system from Remington, & read dozens of reviews, I pulled the trigger, & decided to give it a shot. So far, very glad I did. Having just received it, I've only had a chance to use it today finally. I am thoroughly surprised, & VERY impressed. The unit itself is very light, the motor is not that noisy, & I love the wet shave system. I washed my face, grabbed my trusty & faithful Edge shaving gel, lathered up a thin layer, wet the Foil under running water, & the adventure began. I really gotta say, it does a great job. Took me a few minutes to get used to using it, but once I did, I ended up with a shave that's dang near as close as a straight edge. I got the usual rough spots I always have, but otherwise this Hybrid Foil works great. I did have some very minor irritation, since it was the first time I used it, but that went away pretty quick within a minute or two. Aside from that, all worked well. The ONLY thing I did have to use my regular disposable for, was for shaving straight edges on my goatee, otherwise, the Hybrid Foil did all the work, & did it well. One thing I do need to point out though. The pop-up trimmer on the back, is very tricky to use. Because of it's location, it is very hard to see what you are trimming, as the shaver head blocks your view. You need to look at a downward angle in order to see what you are doing. But, the trimmer did also do a great job where used. For anyone in the market for an electric, & can't decide on Foil, or Rotary, or what model to get, I absolutely recommend the Hybrid Foil system in the XF8550/XF8700. It worked great for me, & this is from someone with very tough facial hair, in his 40's who has almost always used certain Mach blades. Had zero issues cutting, or anything. From what I understand, once your face & hair get accustomed to using the Foil, it will only get better. Don't look any further. The XF8550, or the XF8700, are both outfitted with the Hybrid Foil system, (only difference is the XF8700 has an LED readout, charges a hair faster, & lasts a hair longer) & I HIGHLY recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed. For the money, you will NOT find a better electric. Plus, if after a few weeks you decide it's not for you, Remington offers their 60 days guarantee. So what have you got too lose? **Be sure to follow the directions if you are new to these shavers. While shaving, rinse it every few strokes, so you are getting a continuous clean shave, from clean blades. Otherwise, hair & shaving cream will build up in the blades/head, affecting performance.

I have used this shaver for 4 weeks, and from day one, I am very happy! I get a close shave, as good as when I used a razor blade. I have used an older foil shaver and never got the shave that I now get. I like the feature of using a shave gel and with water, I do look forward to shaving in the morning because of the ease. I highly recommend this shaver!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using Remington shavers for over 50 years, and I was excited to try this new concept, even though the price was rather steep. I am very disappointed, because the shave is not as close as promised, and therefore not as quick. I'd love to see the old three-headed shavers brought back.

I like the dual cutting feature, The screen get me a close shave and the slide cutter takes care of the longer hairs.

This shaver replaced an earlier model with three vibrating cutters and this one is so much better and quitter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband loves this shaver and uses it all the time for "neck maintenance" as he calls it. He likes to keep a beard on his face but doesn't want "neckbeard" and this razor gives a close shave without irritation or pulling. It also holds a charge for a long time and seems to be very durable and well made.

I've been using a Remington Foil Shaver for over 40 years. Recently used a F5 w/three blades and micro screen. Had a great edger. It was great for getting at short stubborn curly hair. Although the new technology sounds great combining "rotary" with foil. The edger is not adequate to get at the short curly hair. I have to use the edger on the old F5 I kept.
