Quality Shave - great for travel, holds a charge, wet/dry is great. Wish it had a hard travel case but other than that - would recommend.

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.

Clean shave. Head movement helps to get all the angles. Battery life is very good.

I use this to shave my head, and I've owned it for about four months by now. So I can't speak to how it works on a beard, but this isn't one of those gushing unboxing reviews that are worse than pointless. Overall, I'm very satisfied. It's not the fastest shaver but that's because the hair on my head seem to grow in different directions and trying to keep track of how best to angle the head for the closest shave takes some work. But once you figure it out, it gives a remarkably close shave, almost like a blade. It is also successful under my jaw and on my neck as well, areas that have defeated every other shaver I have ever owned. It charges lightning fast and is easy to hold and easy to clean. If I were to change anything it would be the protective cap, which is a bit more fiddly than it needs to be, and provide it with an actual travel case instead of a padded pouch.

It cuts pretty good but not as good as I expected. You do have to go over n over a few spots for a crisp shave. Overall it’s ok but not for its price. Battery life is great n I use it in the shower as well. It’s just ok for me tho. The price is the deal breaker

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.

This is a gift and the recipient is very happy about it. He said it is quiet and powerful. It is used everyday and only needs to be charged every 21 days or so. He said it is better than the Braun 5 series he had.

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...

For the price, you cannot beat this razor. It does a good job for an affordable razor.

This shaver is very light and gives a nice close shave. Easy to clean and quick to charge.

I have now been using this electric razor for well over a year now since purchase. It still provides me a great shave and has never let me down. It is rechargeable and still charges quickly and shows no sign of slowing anytime soon. I could not be happier.

Feels a little bulky compared to my original Panasonic electric shaver. Must say it is quieter and shaves closer than my other shaver. Just okay!

Replaced my old panasonic with this unit very pleased with it and how much quietier it is .Shaves close and fast . Battery holds charge twice as long.

I have used Panasonic wet-dry razors in the past and have always been pleased. This one really seems to shave as close as a razor blade. Wet-dry is so handy to use in the shower and clean-up is a snap, as you just put soap on it, run it and rinse it.

I have had two Braun shavers in the past and they give a good close shave but decided to try something different. the Panasonic was cheaper and gives a good shave although it takes me a little longer.

It gives a good close shave for an electric. The trimmer isn’t all that great though. It’s awkward to use the trimmer but the shaver is easy to maneuver.

After years of using razor blades - I finally switched to the electric thing. No more irritation, no more splashes on my sink, no more cuts and blood. First of all - the shaver is light, easy to operate. Second - it has many useful features, which you can read about all over the web. Third - the battery life is good - with my stubborn hair - I am able to go through one week of shaving down to 40% of battery left. Four - the head is kind of bulky - I still need to use a "BIC" to shave off some hair under my nose. Other than last thing - it was a great purchase.

The electric razor performs well. Close shaves are the new norm. I would recommend this shaver from Panasonic.

This Panasonic Arc3 electric shaver ensures a close, even and consistent shave. The sure-grip handle provides ergonomic comfort

I have been using Panasonic Electric Shavers for over twenty years. The new Panasonic Arc3 is by far the best electric shaver. You can use it wet or dry. I only use it with my favorite shaving cream. It gives me an extremely smooth shave without the nicks. It produces little sound compared with older models. I tried other well known (electric) brands, but they never come close to the Panasonic Arc3
