number_9Remington F5800 Titanium-X

Remington F5800In the era or triple and quad foils, at first glance the dual foil Remington F5800 Titanium-X appears to be behind the leading edge of technology, but nonetheless this shaver rates extremely highly with customers.

It immediately feels like a solid and quality shaver and it’s main feature is a flexing head that ensures maximum contact with the skin for a close and even shave. The two steel foil trimmers have an intercept system that targets and pre-trims longer hairs to reduce your shaving time and increase smoothness.

The shaver delivers an impressive 60 minutes usage time on a full charge, and customers also particularly liked the clear “fuel gauge” style battery charge indicator.

One criticism was the built-in trimmer with some customers finding the design odd and a bit fiddly to use at times.

But if you’re looking for a quality, basic electric shaver that delivers a smooth, close shave at a reasonable price then the Remington F5800 is well worth considering.
