      Thank you for the feedback! We are continuously working to enhance your experiences and your insights play an important role in that process. Please note that contrary to manual razors that necessitate a certain amount of pressure, electric shavers are designed to operate with minimal force. Make sure he guides the shaver's movement gently without pressing down forcefully. In addition, achieving a closer shave often involves shaving against the direction of hair growth. While this delivers smoother results, it's imperative to exercise caution. Begin with a light touch and refrain from excessive repetition over the same area to prevent any skin irritation .We’d recommend trying to shave both wet and dry, and at different angles, for the first few uses to find what works best for you as your skin adapts. - S Panasonic

    No point to use this shaver if I have to use a razor to finish the job. I had the original Arc 3 from 2010 that lasted 15 years and just broke. That thing was amazing and this is horrible. I wish I could return it. The old one shaved closer than a razor blade And this thing is like my hair is grown all day already and have a 5:00 shadow doesn't shave anything

      Hi there! We appreciate your feedback! Achieving a closer shave with an electric shaver can sometimes be different from a manual razor. Here are a few tips to help you get a closer shave. Make sure your skin is clean and dry before shaving. You can also try shaving after a warm shower to soften the hair follicles. For a closer shave, try shaving against the direction of hair growth. Be gentle and avoid pressing too hard to prevent irritation. While shaving, use your free hand to stretch the skin in the area you're shaving. This can help the shaver get closer to the hair. Remember, electric shavers may take some time to get used to, but with the right technique, you can achieve a closer shave. - S Panasonic

    This is my 3rd Panasonic wet/dry shaver and is the least effective in shaving my beard. It does not have "floating" head and does not shave very close. Not a good fit for me.

    Nice Shaver

    This Panasonic ARC Shaver is doing a great job on my beard. This is the first Panasonic brand shaver I have used. I had previously wondered what these shavers were like and now that I have tried it, I like it a lot. I like the design. It is lightweight and has a good design for gripping it as you shave. The foils have a slight arch to them, which I have found makes it much easier to maintain contact and improve my ability to get a good shave in areas around my neck and chin, as it hugs the contours better in those areas than previous shavers I have used. They call the foils ultra thin. It is definitely giving me a very close shave. I have found my shaving time is reduced, as I used to have to go over my skin many more times with other shavers, to get as close of a shave as I am getting with fewer passes with this Panasonic. There is a pop up trimmer which I have used to straighten up my side burns and that works quite well. There are also two adjustable attachments you can use to trim a beard or stubble to any of 6 lengths that you select. This shaver can be used wet or dry, for those who prefer to shave in the shower. I prefer to use it in dry mode. The rechargeable battery gives you 50 minutes per charge. I like the fact it is a lithium ion battery, so you can plug it in as much as you want without getting a memory on the battery or worrying about over charging it. The battery fully charges in about an hour, but also lets you do a quick 3 minute charge for a single shave if you forgot to charge it. The shaver also has a travel lock. This will be nice, as I have had previous shavers turn on in my luggage and be drained by the time I unpack. With the travel lock, I can charge it before I leave town for a few days and not have to bring the charge cord along. It also has an LED display that shows you the battery life, a charge indicator, a shaving sensor and the travel lock. Finally, it is easy to clean, as you just use a little hand soap and turn on what is called the sonic vibration cleaning mode and then rinse with water. Overall, I am very happy with this new Panasonic shaver and I am happy I switched!
