Customer Reviews

• Great shaver!
  
  This shaver shaves very close. It's quiet. Cleans easily with water. Stays charged for a long time. An excellent product. Glad I bought it.


• The best shaver I ever had
  
  I am NOT new to the electric shavers. I have had a braun for almost two years. Then I switched back to razors for almost 5/6 years because my Braun was not wet/dry. Then I decided to switch back to a wet-dry electric shaver because I shave in the shower. I have less time to shave also. The wet/dry is a huge deal for me. Man, I am so glad I did switch. It does an excellent job. The shave is so close, you feel like you just used a mach 3 only without the clutter in your shower (you have to invest in a shower mirror though). It does a clean job on the neck areas.
  
  I almost bought a philips rotary shaver that also dispenses gel. But after looking at the reviews in Amazon, I was convinced to buy this shaver. You can use any shaving gel (my favorite is the Nivea alcohol free gel) with this shaver. The battery is superb quality. One one-hour charge lasts a week! That is a whole week!!! Can you imagine that. Maan, you don't have to plug in the thing every time you shave. It cleans itself using regular shower gel or hand soap in seconds.
  
  The only con I can think of is that, being a linear shaver, the in-grown hairs on my under-chin area needs a pass or two extra. But if you consider the time it saves me, that extra pass is nothing.
  
  I did not want to invest in a seperate body groomer. Now I do not have to worry about shaving other areas in a seperate time with a dry-only groomer. Surprisingly, it does not try to cut a chunk off from your sensitive areas. It is very assuring to have this thing handy in your shower. I have had the shaver only for a little over a week. The pop up trimmer is the secret for the under arm and groin areas.
  
  I am OK with the one year warranty that comes with it. I think, if it lasts a year, I have my money's worth. I had a $20 gift card from Best Buy. That made it a good buy. I'll be back to update the review if things pop up.


• Best shaver under $100
  
  I have owned two mid level Braun and two mid level Panasonic shavers before this one and I can say this Panasonic is by far the best. It is the closest, fastest, and most comfortable shaver I have used. Never having owned a shaver with a pivoting head, I was skeptical, but it actually improves the shave.
  
  The only thing I can find wrong with this shaver is it is a little difficult to clean. It's not a deal breaker by far, but I understand why one of those slightly expensive automatic shaver cleaners would work well.
  
  I'm going to guess a high end Braun might work just as well as this shaver, but I have always liked Panasonic a little better.
