Panasonic - Arc3 3-Blade Electric Shaver - Black

For an electric razor the Arc 3 provides a close comfortable shave. I have been using the Arc 3 for a month and the closeness of the shave has improved with time. I have shaved using a pre shave, foam and wet shave while in the shower. Using a pre shave is the most preferred method during the work week. Applying a foam and then shaving resulted in a very close and smooth shave. This method does take a bit more time. Shaving in the shower using soap also resulted in a very smooth shave. Not having a mirror caused this method to take the longest time. I did shave one time during the past month using shave oil. This method did result in a very close shave the only downside, if you could call it that, is having to clean the oil from your face. Cleaning the Arc 3 is easy, a brush isn’t necessary. Using the cleaning setting (fast vibration) and applying a bit of hand soap, cleans the Arc 3 quickly. I usually let the Arc 3 drip dry. I use this method to clean the Arc 3 maybe twice a week on average. I do apply oil to the blades and foil, only twice in the past month. I only had to charge the Arc 3 twice over the past month when shaving every day and cleaning as described. I’ve been shaving some forty years mostly using blade type razors and electric razors of the time. I’m very happy with the Arc3, it’s technology, closeness of the shave and ease of cleanup.

I tend to stick with panasonic for shavers.. Easier to edge than norelco for example. I had an issue with original purchase but it was not panasonics fault more so best buy.. But not gonna get into that.. Cuts great just like the last 7 ones ice owned over the years.. The swivel head is awesome compared to past models as it makes it plush.. Would be 5nstars if not for the price.. Although i dont like other brands you do get more bang for the buck at this price point with them.. Just personally dont like the circle style shavers.. So go with panasonic

I have been shaving with various electric razors for about 30yrs. So, I have seen my share of good and bad. I have had this razor for about a month, it does an ok job. It is not the best and it is not the worst. I used to have a Panasonic years ago and I loved it. This one does a good job except, sometimes, you have to go over an area multiple times to finish the shave. So, it takes extra time. This is not what I remember from the Panasonic razor. But, probably my biggest complaint, is with Bestbuy. After I purchased this razor, 3 days later they put it on sale...

I had a Panasonic before, and used it for many years. I'd still be using it if I had not messed up and left it on top of my bed where my dog decided it was a chew toy. So, I'm pretty happy with the Panasonic. Decent shave, very good battery life, and a fast charge. My only complaint is the trimmer. My old one would flip out very quickly, since it has a separate switch for the swivel lock. This one takes just a bit more effort to flip. A minor inconvenience.

Purchased this Panasonic electric shaver to replace another brand that I have been using for over 30 years. My previous brand shaver's design and quality had gone down hill so thought it was time for a change. I have been really pleased with this Panasonic shaver. It has cut the amount of time to get a close shave in half and no skin irritation. Very pleased and definitely recommend.

Panasonic always make good products. This shaver shave very close and the sound of the motor is very refine( high RPM). and it is make in Japan. It is better than my 12 year old Braun 5 shave that I been using. Braun is not make in Germany anymore. For those people have thick beard. I wound recommend to get the 5 blade model. It's not fair to give this 3 blade model a bad review.

I tried a "which is smoother" test with my wife after the 30 days. I didn't tell her which side was which using my previous razor, and this one. She tested it the night before, then again in the morning BEFORE I shaved. She even closed her eyes, and used on hand to feel any difference. Afterwards, she opened her eyes, and said my right side was smoother. I was surprised, and said that it was the new razor! So, yes, it is better than my other one, and really does what it says, and the other reviewers say as well.

I purchased this Panasonic shaver to replace my approximate 6 year old Panasonic shaver which would not keep much of a charge. I like the design of the Panasonic shaver so stayed with the brand. I like the red color of this one however, it does not seem to have the same power that my older model had so the shave process seems to take a bit longer. The blades do not seem to be as sharp. Build quality is somewhat lacking compared to my older model. It does hold a good charge.
