Very close shave. It charges fairly quick. Should of bought this sooner!

I had been shaving using a 5 blade razor, but I found my neck constantly getting irritated. I did that for about a year, but for many users used a well-known brand rotary razor and found I had to go over the same area too often. The Panasonic razor does an excellent job. I have used it on a totally dry face with no problem. The foil gets a bit warm, but never hot. I know use some shave cream over a wet face just to get a bit of lubrication, and the results are excellent. This razor is also very easy to clean. Can't believe I waited so long to try a foil razor.

Great Shaver-- nice & quiet - a close shave - no complaints here!

I'm very happy with the close shave I get. I like the separate settings for beards. I much prefer the foil heads over my previous rotary head shaver for cleaning. The razor head is easily removable. An indicator lights up when it's time to clean the heads with liquid soap and warm water; though I haven't owned the shaver long enough to experience that. Another nice convenience is a power level indicator for the rechargeable battery in increments of 10%.

Great electric razor. Fairly close shave. It is comfortable and easy to use.

Just upgraded to the arc 5 from a Norelco rotary. Night and day difference. Shaves closer and is quieter and smoother on the skin. No regrets.

This is my first time using an electric razor / I love it expecially being able to use it wet or dry / close clean shave

I got this for use on my man parts and to keep my junk smooth and it works great

Awesome close shave for an electric razor. Runs quietly too.

Purchased this in August 2019 and was very satisfied. I had the Arc 4 and thought this was a nice upgrade. The shave was close and clean. I have a fast growing beard and easily have a 5 o clock shadow each day, so needless to say I shave daily. I also rinse the blades and screen after each use. Weekly I would perform a deeper clean with liquid soap as recommended. After about 2 months I noticed it was starting to miss some hairs on my neck and on the side of my face, which was not a huge deal. By November (about 3.5 months after purchase), I could not get a close shave at all. It was missing large spots no matter how many times I went over my face. I could not imagine that I would need a new screen and blades. I looked up the replacements and they were $55. I can't justify that cost every three months. I did try to contact Panasonic for assistance via e-mail twice, but they never responded. After doing some online research I did find that this is a common complaint with the ARC 5 and that Panasonic traditionally has poor customer service, so I guess that is why I never got a response. I picked up an ARC 4 at Best Buy during the Black Friday sales, that model has always performed very well for me so I went back to that model. Do some research before jumping on the ARC 5 to avoid disappointment.

I love it. Very easy to use and holds a charge for a long time so I am not constantly charging.

So far, excellent, quiet and quick close shave. Would recommend

This is by far the best shaver I ever had. it provides a very close shave. It also holds its charge for a good amount of time

Overtime great use . Great product . Im an old braun customer. This was a good change

I’ve used Norelco/Phillips and Braun razors and have not been happy with product performance, I used a Norelco razor for years,but recently I went to replace the blades and got a set that was way more expensive and of poor quality.I tried Braun but wasn’t happy with the shave either. So I tried Panasonic and have been happy so far. Easy to clean especially compared to the Phillips.

This product comes highly rated, and hy husbanc has used this line of shaver for over 10 years. The service at the store was outstanding. When it was found to be out of stock, it was shipped directly to my house, no charge, in 3 days!

My dad’s favorite shaver n trimmer he loved it !! He enjoys while using it

Great shaver! Truly does get as close as a blade and is much more comfortable, fun to use, and easy on the face!

I have used all brands of electric razors over the years. I keep going back to Panasonic which delivers a very good product. I am replacing a four year old ARC 3 razor which still works fine, but the battery is starting wear down.

It cuts the toughest 3 to 4 day beard but does great every day too its a winner
