Remington WR5000: Has anyone tried this razor, and does it work?

This shaver works circles around other shavers for women and leaves you without irritation and not needing a shave for a few weeks

It's the best razor I've had, close shave. I would think it would work well .

ES8243 is the model I have and "yes" it works. I returned a new, unpackaged razor and kept the ES8243 because it works like new. With WES9020PC I can shave my thick stuble and still have 90% - 80% of charge left in the ES8243A.

It is an excellent razor. You might want to look at somme Youtube videos on wet shaving. It takes longer than the Gillette 5 blade razors, but done right you will not have ingrown hairs, and will get a close shave. The most important factor is using a good shaving soap - I use a brush and bowl to work up a good lather, and I use Derby blades which are not too sharp but work well. You might buy a sampler pack from Amazon and find which blades work for you. Don't be put off by the information. I will never go back to Gillette/Shick, etc razors. 100 blades costs me $10, shaving soap is cheap and I get a great shave each morning with a small cut a rarity. It is an excellent razor.

Without exaggeration, this is the best razor I've ever owned. I'm 42. It gets a close shave even after not shaving for 4 days. Five o'clock shadow is cake for this razor. It isn't stellar for the neck but does fairly well if your neck is completely dry. It's worth the money and comes with the nose and ear trimmer, which I use often.

I don't immerse the razor but it's heads and cutters are easily cleaned under the faucet. It is not a wet shave razor. I think it's the best razor Remington has made. I'm on my the third MS2-390 and the only problem I have experienced is the battery life is only 3-4 years.

I used Gillette disposables (not cartridges) before getting this razor and personally, there was almost no learning curve for me. First shave with it I drew no blood :) The blades you use will be harder to figure out as each blade brand works differently for different beards. You will be spending a couple/few months finding the blade that works best. Start off with large sample pack, try those, see what is available near you and try them. One brand will shave you very different from another brand, each beard is different. Make sure you have some sort of blade bank for your used blades, I use empty Alt*ids cans that I tape up when full. Make sure you are using soap and brush for lather, you will not like the shave from this razor with foam/gel. A great resource for info on wet shaving is badgerandblade dot com. Buy this razor, you will not regret it and the environment will really appreciate it.

NO; but the battery will last a long time, My last Remington Razor lasted 20+ Years. Rick Fowler

Leah...three heads come with this electric. The "close" one is already mounted. There is closer one yet. I haven't tried it since the one mounted did well. I had given up on electrics a few years back. They seemed to cheapen many of them up (those at reasonable price points), and I got electric razor burn, big time...where people even commented! So, I went to shaving with razor blades, disposables, many different types on market, had my share of facial cuts, etc. Wanted to try something. This thing had some decent reviews on Amazon. I took a chance....it seems to be working. Dunno how it would handle others, or how it would be for various groups, but hey...for less than 50 bucks from Amazon, it might be worth a chance. Look at it this way maybe....it's about the cost of perhaps a week of lunches at a fast food place and some coffee breaks. Yeah, it's a gamble...but you may win. If you get it, charge the razor for length of time indicated in the instructions.

Can you tell me how this shaver performs? It is a bit pricey, and there are only two reviews on Amazon's product page, one not even by the user, but by his wife. How does it do getting the hairs on the neck? I often suffer from razor burn on my neck, and also am getting tired of having to rotate my 6 yold Norelco (battery is also dying) in circular patterns several times over the same spots to get a close shave..

I had a Remington previously to this new one and I'd say the noise is about the same. Not very loud. This is an excellent razor.

I'm not familiar with your razor, however, if it is a multiple blade configuration then there is no way to control the angle of attack as all blades are set together. I use Gillette Fusion blades and the razor sharpener has worked well. I'm on the same cartridge now for 2 months, I use to get 1 week use out of a cartridge.

I can't answer this specific question. I never tried it with any other razor.

I would think so. Do you already have one? I wouldn't but it. On the commercial it looked great but a normal razor beats this one out.

I went online to the Phillips Norelco site and the only razor I found was the 1060X and that one takes the R Q10 blades. Hope this helps.

My wife uses it. The razor will last a lifetime. The blades last about a month for her.
