I bought a Remington F5-5800. It was heavy and loud. I had to go over my face 2-3 times to get a halfway decent shave. Instead of replacing the foil and cutters a second time I felt that money could go toward a better razor. I bought the PF7400 and to my amazement it gave me a great shave from the start. I get a smooth shave with a lighter weight razor, only have to shave once and I can hear myself think (maybe not so good a thing) because it is quiet by comparison. It holds a charge well and although it uses the same foil and cutters as the 5800, the shave is faster and better. Read more
This shaver performed as expected, the trimmer is also great. Very easy to use and a low noise level. It cuts quickly and you don't seem to redo areas to get a nice shave. Read more
This is a nice shaver. For men or woman’s use. Does a close clean shave. The price was right and clean it under the faucet. And the pop up blade works good for side burns. Read more
F4 series with Intercept comes in a few different packages. Most notable the plug in transformer or the USB charging cord. Both work well with the F4 foil shaver. This model came with the US style plug in cord. I have a tough beard and am retired so I often only shave every third or fourth day. The intercept feature comes in handy for a three day growth. Like the pop-up trimmer, Intercept doesn't collect the cut beard hairs so they drop to chest, lap, floor, sink or anywhere the wind might blow. The two flex foil cutters work well for me. The blades and foil are easy to replace. The foil/blades can be replaced by firmly grabbing the plastic housing and pulling it away from the shaver. A brush is supplied to clean the blade housing and blade holders. From my experience the shaver should be dumped and cleaned after every use. The shaver produces plenty of blade movement and is reasonably noisy. Genuine replacement foil/blade assembly is close to 30 dollars and a complete shaver can usually be found for under 45 dollars. This is a well built, reliable shaver with good battery life. It only operates with the charger cord disconnected so is not a corded shaver. I recommend this shaver. Read more
shaver performs comparably to my much older PF7500 remington, except for the recharging. i noticed the new one, the PF7400, takes many hours longer to achieve a full charge. i did not know why, until a remington company representative explained the older PF7500 has a fast charge feature while the new PF7400 does not. it makes a huge difference! i may keep the PF7500. but if i knew this ahead of time, i definitely would not have bought the newer PF7400 shaver. shame on you remington for not including that feature and even worse, for not explaining that difference in your description. update 10/2025 - i am really upset with the performance of this shaver. a number of things are far worse than my old remington, which i had hoped to replace. 1) it doesnt shave nearly as close as the old shaver which is about 8 years old now. 2) it slows down far faster with use than the old remington. 3) recharging is absolutely ridiculous. not only is the new shaver plug not compatible with the old cord, it takes many, many hours to fully charge even after only a few days of use. the 'fast charge feature has been eliminated, probably to save money. ridiculous! 4) if the battery goes dead, i cannot run the shaver while plugged in. thats right! the shaver will not run while plugged in. that is asinine! these changes virtually guarantee i will NOT BE BUYING another remington. SHAME ON YOU REMINGTON! update 11/2025 - seldom use the PF7400 now. its only value to me is the pop-up trimmer. i noticed that when i use it for as little as 3 minutes, it take well over 4 hours maybe longer, to recharge to full. junk!

I am a 60 yr. old female, 8 wks. out from having had a total knee replacement. Needless to say, shaving my legs with my disposable shaver in the tub was out of the question due to bending difficulties. This shaver was a life saver! My fiance has had the same one for years and he likes it, so I bought one for myself. No mess shaving while standing, easy clean-up of the mechanisms within the shaver and no itching, only a smooth close fit dry shave. I can now attend my PT sessions with confidence and not embarrassment. Fast charging, quiet and easy to hold as well. Highly recommend for use by women! So it's "black & blue" and not "pink", big deal...it works great!!! Read more
