Awesome product! Makes shaving super quick and easy

I wish the blades were sharper than how they are. It takes several back and forth to reach the desired goal.

Love it . Easy to charge and very easy to carry . Highly recommend for travelers

I'm 56 years old and have used numerous electric shavers over the years, as well as shaving with a blade. This is the most expensive shaver I've ever purchased and it's well worth the additional cost. It actually shaves closer than a blade, and much quicker than any other electric shaver that I've tried. It's also very easy to clean and you can get quite a few shaves out of one charge. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

I’ve had two previous Panasonic razors prior to this one and have always liked them. I was a little skeptical when I first saw this one due to the large number of blades. Looked like overkill to me. However, it’s extremely quiet, and gives and amazing shave. Battery lasts a really long time. You can hear it change speeds depending on the thickness of your beard. Overall a great razor. Very glad I purchased it.

I have very thick facial hair and this powerful razor handles it well. You get many shaves off a single charge and the flip up trimmer works great.

Brilliant. Panasonic shavers are the best. The battery lasts for 6-8 shaves. The foil and blade cutters are the best for close shaves.

[Employee of bestbuy] I did find some growing pains coming from a rotary-style Philips Norelco, but after getting through a few nicks, this shaver is handily the best I ever had. The Arc5 has saved a significant amount of time and shaves much closer than the Norelco ever did, and many other third-party reviewers find the Arc5 among the best shavers on the market.

This is my second ARC5. This generation has given me the closest shave I've had from an electric shaver. I've had Norelco, Braun, and Panasonic Arc3 and an older generation Arc5. This version of the Arc5 provides a smooth and quiet shave.

My review is in between Norelco-Panasonic, since I always used Norelco brand as my shaver, but my skin was tired of long time to finish an ok shave, pulling facial hair, going to the same spot over and over and over again. After months of research and reviews I decided to go with Panasonic A5 best decision in my 56 years old. Positive: 1) smooth and precise cut, you see the perfect shave in a soft touch on your face. 2) quit no noise like my Different Norelco shavers. 3) the time that I spent with my new Panasonic to get a perfect shave is 100% faster than Norelco. 4) Panasonic is super ergonomic, amazing gripping and fit in my hand so confortable. 5) Panasonic is very light weight, 6) Panasonic gives me a super clean and immaculate shave that I never have with Norelco. 7) it comes with a very nice travel case. 8) best decision and purchase ever, what a difference.

This is the best electric shaver I have ever used. I keep a beard, but shave my head. This gave me such a close, and comfortable head shave! I’m honestly blown away. This has made me such a believer, I’m throwing away my blades. It’s worth every penny.

Excellent wet/dry shaver with fair price. It is very flexible and easy to shave around the neck and chin area.

Gives a nice, close shave that doesn’t irritate the skin afterwards and is easy to clean afterwards

Great quality...easy to hold...gives a good shave...My Dad loves it

Purchased this on sale $99. It is GREAT. I love this razor. It’s so much better then these $30-80 ones. Totally worth the money.

Threw my Bruan away after only using a few months. Didn't shave, but pulled; not close at all. Was crap. This is a dream. I had previous Panasonic and should have bought instead of Bruan. This cuts close and perfect, keeps charge for a week or more, and cleans fairly easily. Only CON is it seems to need cleaning sooner than previous models, but easy and well worth the close shave. Price was right too.

Easy to use and gives a close shave every time with no hassle

Great wet or dry shaver. Charge lasts a full week.

The Panasonic - Arc5 Wet/Dry Electric Shaver has been working very well for me. I found it easy to hold and use to get a close comfortable shave with no skin irritation. It performed extremely well on my upper lip area. It is easy to clean and has an excellent battery life between charges, about 2 weeks of shaving time. The trimmer is a bit difficult to use but it works well once you get used to achieving the correct angles to hold the shaver in. The power on/off button did get in the way at first but I quickly learned how to avoid accidentally pressing it. The charge time is about 1 hour when the battery is almost totally discharged. I also like the travel case as well. This razor is an excellent value price-wise.

I have used many different brands of electric shaver over the years and this one is the best hands down. You get a smooth and comfortable shave in a short amount of time. Note however that is typical of electric shavers you need to purchase cleaning packets to use with water in the cleaner. Over time you will have to decide if it is worth it to you to use the automatic cleaning feature or just clean it yourself under the faucet. But as a razor this one is tops in my opinion.
