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

Works great for shaving - many ladies recommended buying mens razor for better result. Yes, it works great wet or dry.

Smart purchase clean close shave works great thank you

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.

I This is a great shaver for tough beards. I went from taking 8 to 10 minutes for a poor shave with my lower tier Norelco rotary shaver to less than 4 minutes and a great shave with the the Panasonic Arc 5. I can get as good of shave in 2.5 as I got with my old shaver. I do a dry shave using Afta pre electric shave. Why did I buy this instead of the more expensive version or one of the high end Braun shaver's. The need and and how easy it is to clean the Panisonic Arc 5. It only takes a little soap and and a few seconds to clean and I only need to clean it once a week since I do a dry shave. The Braun review sounded like it was hard to clean and had a special cleaner . The only difference on the more expensive Panisonic was that it came with a cleaner that I don't need or need to clutter the bathroom sink with. Battery life is great as one charge will last me 2 weeks.

I had the Panasonic Arc3 ES8243A for a long time and felt that it was time to replace the old shaver. I wish I would have done this a long time ago. The Arc5 is amazing. It gives you a great shave, is easy to use, and it a lot quieter than the Arc3.

Overall I am very pleased with this shaver. It gives me precise shave and the battery life is very good. It gets clean to the skin without any cuts on my face. it’s quiet, traveling pouch is handy for travel.

This shaver is very good and shaves the face smoothly.

Overall, I am pleased with this product. The shave is smooth and nearly as close as a blade. The unit is easy to clean. My skin is not sensitive, so I use it dry. It does struggle with longer soft hair on the side of my neck if I don't shave for a couple of days, but the pop up trimmer helps with that problem.

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.

Purchased for my son. He liked it much better than his rotary.

Works very well in dry and wet conditions , battery life is also great

Very good shaver charge last a long time close shave fast

It’s a good razor mine doesn’t have the wash stand but that’s why I got it it’s real easy to clean and it does a good job it is a lot different than the Braun I had but I think it shaves closer than the Braun and cheaper it did take me a while to get used to the big head but I like it

I've used a lot of electric shavers from all the main brands (norelco, braun, remington) and the panasonic shavers work far better on my face than the others. I have less irritation, less in grown hairs, and a much closer/cleaner shave with their razors. I've been using an ARC3 for years and always wanted to upgrade but wasn't sure how much of a difference i'd see since i was happy with the ARC3. I should've upgraded earlier! As good as the ARC3 is, this is significantly better. The Arc3 will now be my travel shaver while this is my everyday home shaver. Now, i don't grow a heavy beard or anything and i don't really like using disposables, so use that info if it helps you decide. This thing is now giving me the best shave i've ever had plus the battery lasts a long time. The best thing about this is that i can use it with shaving cream or soap which helps you get even closer.

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

Good shaving, versatile and easy to use. Reliable and quality.

I got this on sale for $100 and I would say that so far it is ok. This is my first electric shaver and I'm still getting used to it. The shave isn't as close as a normal razor and it struggles to remove my neck hair, however it does comes with a nice trimmer that removed those pretty easily. I think it could be worth the investment to save on razors since you only need to change parts after a year or two. So far I am not sure of how I feel about this shaver.

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

My older Arc5 became my travel razor and allowed me to upgrade. Since I have several years with the older version, I can confidently say the new razor is quieter, smoother and faster.
