Panasonic makes the best wet/dry shavers. I used others also but always ended up with Pana. Clear difference between arc 4 and arc 5. Much improved

I have been using Braun for the past 10 years and this has turned out to do a much better job than Braun has been at shaving,it gives a much smoother shave

It's good. Before this, was using a rotary shaver for decades (literally). This is better. Much better.

Works just like I want it to. Close shave when I don't feel like doing it with a hand held razor. great battery life.

replacement for rotary i used for 25 years..much closer shave..been using for a month..will update

probably as good as any but i wonder sometimes if i'll ever be an electric shaver lover. i want to be, but it's just a slower process compared to a blade. main motivation for buying was to stop using the plastic disposable razors i used to buy by the bag (and throw away), but i'd be lying if i said i don't miss the old clean shave in one pass, especially on hectic days. i'll stick with this, but it always takes me a little longer than i wish it did.

I switched from a Norelco rotary head and I love it. The battery readout is great. The hair trimmer is actually effective. Good, close shave.

This is the best electric razor I've ever used! I'm very happy with my purchase. It shaves very close and is very comfortable to use.

I needed a new shaver since my old one broke and I was between the Arc5 and the Philips 6900. After about a month of use the Arc5 performs okay. I think I would have preferred a rotary shaver like the 6900 better because this one leaves some hairs on my face after repeatedly going over. The Arc5 does however get a really close shave that I have not had with any other shaver before.

This razor is super! I use it to shave my head and the five cutting blades really do an excellent job. It is quick and the closeness is quite impressive.

It is an awesome product. My husband is very happy with this, works perfectly. Smooth results.

Probably one of the best razors I’ve ever purchased. Very comparable to shaving with a straight razor.

Works well, very close shave. It is a little large, but not too big of an issue.

I haven't used a manual razor since the day I made the purchase. Super clean results every time. Charge lasts a long time.

Got this for my husband for Father's Day, but let him open it early. He loved it!

Very refined razor. It's a little louder, but it shaves cleanly. highly recommended.

Comparing it to a Braun 7, which I had, is a significant upgrade. Quieter, tighter motor, and covers more face space.

Am really thankful to made this purchase, no more cuts o hard time for shaving..so easy, and pleasant with my beard , ...

This does no better than a cheap electric razor. It is only useful for very short hair (5 o’clock shadow) and even then must be used up to 20 times in the same area to clear an area. Even then, my face was left patchy. The build feels flimsy with the wobbly head, which only has two “blades” under the 4 screens. Maybe it works for very light hair on young men, but definitely not acceptable for coarse hair or anything longer than 0.25mm.

I have been using Panasonic razors for over 10 years now and have been very happy with them. The ARC 5 is probably the best I have ever used.
