My review may not be completely fair because it is a man's shaver but I bought it for my legs; it may work better on a man's face since that is what it was designed for so guys, you might want to ignore my review. I bought it because of the Remington brand and the good reviews. My comments are for women who might be considering it for their leg. Ladies: A typical razor gives a closer shave and you don't have to go over the area several times to get most of the hair. That said, I am very glad I bought this electric shaver because I am finally able to shave my inner thighs without getting red bumps from irritation. I had tried what seems like just about every brand of razor and shaving cream to find one that didn't irritate my skin. Still haven't found one so I decided to try an electric razor. The Remington F5 was worth the money just to be able to wear a swimsuit without those embarrassing red bumps!
