I received the Smooth and Silky Plus Body Contour Shaver WDF5000 for Christmas last year. It was one of the items on my wish list and since I had never owned an electric shaver I really wanted to try one out. I was very excited about this gift!

The Smooth and Silky Plus Shaver is made by Remmington, a well known and trusted company. The Smooth and Silky Plus Shaver is contoured to fit a woman's hand perfectly. It is lightweight and comes with it's own rechargeable station, which is somewhat compact. It also comes with a cute little travel pouch and of course a cleaning brush. It is recommended that you clean the razor heads after each use to avoid build up.

The Smooth and Silky Plus Shaver has four shaving heads designed to shave both long and short hairs. Hey, we've all been there...letting it go for too many days in a row! It also has three settings or positions so you can adjust the heads for the kind of shave you currently need. There is a "very short hair" setting, a "short and long hair" setting, and "long hair trimming" setting.

If you take a close look you will notice that the shaving head is gold and is made of hypo-allergenic materials to provide a close shave with less irritation.

I first had a hard time deciding on the best setting for me but ended up using the "very short hair" setting the most. I found that it provided an excellent close shave for my legs and underarms. If you do miss a day or two shaving you will still find that this razor does not pull your hair like some other brands. The contour shape molded to the curves in my legs and made shaving really easy. I am very pleased with the performance of this razor. I suffered from occasional razor burn before I started using the Remmington and was glad to see that those days were over. It provides a close shave and I can shave anytime and anywhere I want to! What more can you ask for?

This model (WDF5000) is a Wet or Dry razor. I have never used it Wet so I can't compare the shaves from Wet to Dry. It is fully submersible in water so if that is the way you want to use it, just be sure to let the razor dry out before returning it to the rechargeable station. Please remember that water and electricity do not mix! Be safe and not sorry!

I did notice after using this razor for the first couple of weeks that my skin was left very dry. The directions do state that it takes a couple of weeks for your skin to adjust to the razor. Just bring out the body lotion (like I did) and remedy the situation until your skin adjusts.

Overall I found the Remmington Smooth and Silky Shaver WDF5000 to provide a close shave and the ease of use is wonderful. No more getting out of the shower to say, "I forgot to shave". This unit gives you the wet-dry option. I find that the convenience of use to be the main seller on this razor and why I fell in love with it.

This model comes with a 30 day money-back guarantee.
