    This shaver has worked out well for us. We originally choose a shaver with the 3 circular blade but one of the blades stopped rebounding on it's own after a week, so we got this for my pops and it has worked flawlessly. No complaints from him and that says a lot.

    Razor cuts very well . I never buy these due to they always cut my face but this I used without water or cream and it left my skin feeling so soft. Hands down best razor I have ever owned. It still doesn’t cut well under the chin ( neck area) I will still use a regular razor to finish. Only down fall is that they don’t keep the silver one in stock and it’s $50 less so I had to pay $50 more just for a black razor or wait a week. I don’t get why best but jacks up the price on the black one $50 more . It’s there fault for not having the silver one in stock but I end up paying $200 instead of $150 just for a color. Seems odd .

    Shaver looks great. Performance is better when shaving wet. Trimmer works well. Charge rate is average. For quick shaves it does the job

    Sometimes it requires several passes to get close. Also, due to the larger head of shaver size, it can be harder to get lone whiskers under the nose.

    Works great as a head shaver. I would give it 5 stars, but you do have to keep your hair fairly short for it to work well and not take too long. I recommend every 2-3 days max.

    I thought when I bought it that it would just be another shaver that I was probably going to return. I was wrong, it does a good job shaving my face even after I let my hair grow to about 4mm. It's a good buy.

    So far works great. As close as a razor. I shave about every 3 days and it handles a 3 day beard pretty well. Side trimmer works really well. My previous razors were norelcos, and this one is way better than both of them.

    so far, so good. it has 4 separate cutting blades and has done a nice job. My only regret is that I have spare blades & foils from my other Panasonic, but they are for the 2 blade system...I should have looked more closely.
