Customer Ratings & Reviews

I used a different brand before and was afraid to change. But then I decided to try this company, and I was not disappointed. Shaves very well. The charge lasts for a long time. In a word, I am very pleased with the purchase.

Excellent and smooth shave. Easy to use, especially with some shaving gel. Definitely be sure to get your hair very short before shaving, because it struggles with longer hairs--especially those that lay flat on your face. The only part I struggled with was my neck, where the hairs lay flat against my skin, but it was easy enough to touch up with a blade. Battery holds enough charge for several shaves.

The ARC5 has been a game-changer for me. As someone who has always used Gillette products, I found them adequate but not entirely satisfying—they merely got the job done. However, with increasing work appearances at trade shows, I noticed the need for a closer shave, which my old razor couldn't provide. This need for improvement led me to discover the ARC5. Initially, I was hesitant about the ARC5, mainly due to its cost, assuming it was just an expensive, automated version of what I already had. But I was completely mistaken. The ARC5 is incredibly user-friendly, delivers an exceptionally close shave, and leaves my skin feeling incredibly smooth. It's been such a transformative experience that there's no going back for me—I'm absolutely smitten with this device.

This provides a very close shave. I follow the directions daily by washing the razor with soap, rinse, air dry and then add panasonic mineral oil. So far the ability to maintain a close shave has been maintained. The razor's rechargeable battery lasts about 2 weeks as advertised.

Close shave with very little irritation. Quiet operation and charge lasts over a week of use.

Compared to my previous Panasonic Arc3, this Arc5 is a little bulky, so it takes a little getting used to when maneuvering it. If you've ever had a Panasonic before, though, this provides the same close and comfortable shave I'm used to. The battery life is also much longer than the older model, although part of the reason I replaced it is that the older battery seemed to be on its last legs. I suspect that this one will provide at least as many years of faithful service as that one did.

Close shave. Excellent quality and price. Would buy again. Very quiet and fast charging.

This is my second Panasonic, replacing a ES-LV65-S that now my wife uses. Same comfort and same shave quality as before, and really enjoy the fact that it is a wet/dry shaver. It is powerful and with a long battery life.

Holds a charge much longer than the previous model and does a much better job of shaving. I don't need to use any supplemental blades when I shave.

Its been a few, ok many, years since I used a razor and I only had bad memories so when it came time to get one, I wanted to make sure I found a good one. This is it. Its comfortable in my hand, it glides across my skin and scalp and leaves behind a smooth surface with no burns. It's very easy to clean, a charge lasts a week - your mileage may vary - and overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.

This is the best electric razor I have ever used. It cut’s close and is easy to clean. The razor works well with the contours of my face as well as under my chin and along my neck. Definitely a good investment.

Very, very close shave. Pivoting head takes some getting used to as it has a lot of movement. Tried it both locked and unlocked. Unlocked is better as it makes a close shave easier and faster, just need to practice with it. Charging is quick and the battery lasts quite a number of shaves. I would recommend this over current Braun models of comparable price.

What to say about this shaver. It's quieter than the Arc3 it replaced. It cuts closer and leaves my skin smoother as well. The head is a bit larger and that's about my only gripe with it.

I had the lv65 version but the trimmer broke, so I went for the slight upgrade with this lv67 version. It works just as well as the previous but I think I prefer this look over the silver 65. My post cuts feel smooth and of course easy to clean with some liquid soap and a rinse.

This razor blew me away! After years of using the Braun Series 9, I was in need of new blades, but had grown tired of the poor trimmer function and the slow response of that razor. I read a ton of reviews of different kinds and went with this one. To my surprise it's made in JAPAN! A show of true high quality. I couldn't believe how luxurious it feels in the hand. a nice high end feeling. Love the travel mode so it doesn't turn on in a bag, and love how smooth and fast it is!!! The trimmer function is to DIE FOR. A lot of times I will trim up the edges of my beard with the slide out trimmer function and then use the foil to shave that closer. but wow the trimmer is SO PRECISE and fast and it NEVER pulls my hair. I have a cheaper 40 dollar panasonic beard trimmer that sometimes pulls my hair so i was worried, but this trimmer is so fast and sharp it just slices right through and makes very clean close lines. I love it so much I can't stress enough what an upgrade it has been over my series 9!

Excellent. Easy to use, high quality, and good battery.

Gives a great shave. Easy to clean. Worth the money.

I have used Braun razors for more than 20 years and have had 3 different models during that time. I have been happy with them overall. My Series 5 died last week and I was about to get another one. This Panasonic went on sale for $120 so I decided to give it a try and return it if I didn't like it. WOW. What a night and day difference. The Braun isn't even in the same league. Very close and smooth shave. It took far less time because you have to make less passes than with the Braun. It got my difficult neck area closer and smoother than anything in the past. I have always shaved my head with a blade because the Braun's never got near close enough. I tried the Panasonic and it got AS CLOSE as a blade, quickly and with great comfort. I was amazed. Cleaning is a snap and took about 30 seconds. The razor is very quite and fits my hand perfectly. It glides over my face and head with no effort. I can't say enough good things about this razor, and it is a tremendous value at $120.

Close shaves, quicker and quieter than ever. With its nifty pop up trimmer it is Easy to clean charge and store

I am 74 years I old and yse my Panasonic Arc 5 Shaver every morning when I shower. I gad previously used the Arc 3; the improvement is marked! I have found that by lathering with Cremo Shave Cream and shaving in the shower, gives me a great, comfortable smooth shave! Great Shaver @ a great price! I highly recommend the Arc 5
