Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Much better than the less expensive Panasonic ARC models. Smooth, clean, soft and non-irritating! Cleanup is a breeze - warm water will do it. I use a little liquid soap in the rinse. A charge is good for 14 days' worth of heavy shaving.

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.

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

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

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've had many Norelco rotary shavers and one Panasonic foil shaver (a cheap one), and so far this is the best shaver I have ever had. I just turned 80, so I've had a few. It's quiet and handles easily, cleans easily also.

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.

This is my first non-norelco, non three head shaver. I never thought I would like this type of foil shaver. I recently purchased a high end Norelco & it was nothing like my old one. It was a complete piece of junk. After doing some research, I decided to try this model. The reviews were correct. Kicking myself for not trying one of these years ago. Clean, quick, smooth, painless shave.

At least for me, Panasonic razors are the only way to go. I've tried just about all other major brands and I return them. I've only kept Panasonic. That said, this is not a miracle razor. I have to go over my beard and neck and bald head many times before I'm good to go. But at least when I'm done shaving, I'm smooth! It tells me how much charge is left when I turn it off. It tells me how long I took to shave. Now how in the world did I ever exist without knowing how many minutes it took me to shave. I got this on sale, the only way to go.

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.

First time I have bought anything other than the "3 blade models" and what a difference for me! So smooth. I just really hope that the first use experience lasts a long time, and if it does, then this more expensive model will be all I will purchase in the future.

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.

I had been using cheap Panasonic shavers for some time when I decided to splurge on this shaver during a sale. This model is a professional quality shaver that is a joy to use. My days of using low end shavers are gone for ever. This model does a much better job and charges quickly

Been using Panasonic Arc shavers for the past 30 years. The Arc5 provides the closest and most comfortable shaving experience. My only complaint is that the batteries in these products retain their re-charging capability for only 4~5 years, thus re-buying these shavers every now and then.

I was disappointed at the failure of my previous Braun S3 shaver. Even the easiest hairs of my face required repeated swipes and still it was not a clean shave. The Braun shaver almost complete failure to to cut the tough hairs above my neck. Looking at the reviews I choose the Panasonic to replace it. I find that yes I need to swipe more than once but the shave is close and clean. Tough hairs around my neck, do get cut with multiple swipes. The electric charge last a long time. It is fast recharge. There is clear indication when you need to recharge. I find I need to clean the shaver once a week which saves time most mornings.

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

Panasonic arc five, the best foil shiver wet or dry. I am a Barber and I use this on my clients. And they are very satisfied with the results

Product does a good job of cutting whiskers, but the best part is the ease of cleaning the shaver.

This did not disappoint. The shave was close and quick. Mows down a pretty thick shadow very efficiently -- on the first pass. Relatively quiet compared to previous generations. Will last aout 2 weeks on one charge.
