About Remington
Remington's personal care line traces back to 1937, when Remington Rand introduced the Model E, the company's first electric dry shaver, built around a protective foil cover that shielded skin from the blades underneath. The brand followed with the Dual, its first multi-head shaver, in 1940, and the Lektronic, the first cordless electric shaver, in 1960, innovations that made Remington one of the earliest names in electric shaving, a legacy that traces back to the 1816 firearms and typewriter maker E. Remington and Sons.
Today Remington operates as a personal care brand under Spectrum Brands, headquartered in Middleton, Wisconsin, with a catalog spanning foil and rotary electric shavers for men and women, beard and mustache trimmers, hair clippers, epilators, and hair-styling tools including dryers, stylers, and hot rollers. In our own testing, the F5-5800 foil shaver has drawn more than 28,000 verified reviews for its daily-shaving performance, and the Smooth & Silky WDF5030A pairs a 4-blade foil system with Lift Logic technology and hypoallergenic foils that shave close on sensitive areas like the bikini line and underarms without the irritation plain foils tend to cause.

Remington products we rated highly
Remington Smooth & Silky WDF5030A
A 4-blade foil system with Lift Logic technology angles flat-lying hairs toward the blades so they cut cleanly in fewer passes across legs, underarms, and the bikini line. Hypoallergenic foils and a built-in almond oil moisturizing strip condition skin as you shave, reducing the redness and irritation that standard foils tend to cause on sensitive areas, and a pop-up bikini trimmer rounds out a wet/dry washable design in our testing.
