Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing shaver. Very effortless and efficient reaching for hard to get spots. I am very happy with my purchase.

Throw out your old traditional razors asap! If you normally suffer from bumps or irritation then this shaver would be perfect for you! This shaver provides a close, comfortable and clean shave without the worry! Charges fast and is ultra portable I definitely recommend it! Heck, I own two one for my home and one for travel and I have not been disappointed yet!

Short and sweet: if there is a better electric shaver on the market I don’t want or need it. Close shave, quick charge, seems VERY well made and totally reliable. I love mine!!! Confession - I just bought my third one. New blades cost $50+; bought my 2nd and third shavers on sale for around $100 (several years apart). Call me crazy! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I have tried several different shavers and brands. This is by far the best! Gets as close as a shave as you will get with an electric.

Soft on the skin. Close shave. Does not pull the hair. Easy to clean.

This razor gives a great and close shave and is easy to clean.

I caught this shaver on sale at half off. I've used shavers in the past and was always disappointed because they were a bit painful and failed to get a close shave. This shaver is much different and better. No pain and a close shave for my face and head. I ony decided to try it because of the sale price, it turned out to be a good investment.

Is there such a thing as too close of shave? After using a cheaper model for the last two years and looking to replace the blades, I saw this unit on sale. It's so much closer shave, it took a couple weeks for my skin to adjust, but now I'm really loving the blade close shave that this unit provides. All around quick and close shave.

This razor is fantastic. Provides a super close shave and doesn’t burn or irritate my skin. The shaver can even be used when skin is wet and still provides a clean effortless shave. One to two passes is all it takes. Mine is made in Japan and I hope that Panasonic continues to make them there. This is one quality unit

Nice, close shave, easy to clean, and a long-lasting battery.

This shaver gets pretty close and does a good job on my jawline. It takes multiple passes to get the hair, but overall, it's better than others I've had.

Works well when using wet or dry. Charges fast and battery works very long time

After trying disposable, DE, and rotary shaving,finally! I have thick hairs that require me to shave daily. Add sensitive skin, its been a struggle. I love the Arc5.

I was looing for a nice shaver and nothing cheap and flimsy. Well worth the 100 bucks. Been using it all year long shaves like a charm. Been shaving with this product for 1 year and I like how they have the trimmer in the back of it to make it easier to shave when i let my beard grow long than usual.

After trying the Phillips Norelco 9000 and the Braun Series 9 finally I found an electric razor that I don't need to pass the regular razor after using the electric one I'm just so happy I've almost given up with the electric rasors Thanks Panasonic finally I don't need reshave with the regular blade anymore Very very happy

very good shaver, but a bit disappointed at many strokes it takes on an area for complete stubble removal. Despite more time required, the final result is a closer shave than any electric razor I’ve ever used

This shaver does give an exeptional close shave. At a price of $119.00 on sale it can not be beat . The pivoting head and its beard thinckness sensor is amazing. I can now shave comfortably and have great results in 1/3 the time it took with my old shaver. Truly a great buy.

I bought this for my son to replace the arc 3 which he was unhappy with. He says it is good for his sensitive skin & works much better too

This is a nice shaver that’s very ergonomic. Battery lasts a while so you get multiple shave session on a charge. Work great when skin is wet/shaving gel. Had a bad time using it as a dry shaver doesn’t seem to glide on the skin which leads to cut.

I have been shaving with blades over almost 60 years. I have a very course beard and it took a while to learn and adapt. Once I started using electric pre shave I began getting excellent results with no discomfort. Don't know why I waited so long. Have always loved Panasonic products. This one is no different.
