    Charges really fast, and lets you know when you're down to the last shave on that charge.

    Good electric saver. It does not have like previous models a notification when it needs to be clean, but that is just a minor compliant

    I ave used many electric razors including rotary and Braun. This is the best razor by far. I also have used blades because the electrics never seem to get close enough. I can honestly say this shaves as close as a blade. I am impressed. A bit tough on the face like a blade so if you have sensitive skin just be aware this could be an issue.

    Panasonic by far make the best shavers. I recommend the version with the self cleaner, but you can get an equally excellent shave from the cheaper model so long as you wash it out each time. This model has something about beard sensing tech, which I can’t tell the difference with it on or off, seems more of a gimmick. Sadly replacement blades are not easy to find in stores, pretty much online only.

    After more than 20 years using high end rotary shavers with just fair results I decided to try this foil electric razor and I’m so happy with the closest shaving I’ve ever gotten. Besides that it’s also comfortable and easy to clean, even without using an specific cleaning device. It’s a little louder than my previous rotary shavers but it’s worthwhile.

    I have been using Panasonic electric razors for years. When my four bladed razor quit I bought the Arc5 which has an additional blade. It is clearly the best electric shaver I have owned and I have a very heavy beard. It actually shaves closer than a manual blade because you can press harder without cutting or abrading your skin. Buy it!

    This is the best shaver I have bought. I've had the self cleaning one that run 150 to the 50 one, also the circular disc ones. This is the smoothest without burn on my fair face. I don't have very course hair and it gets it well where other types miss. I'm most happy with no razer burn. Rinses off with water, let dry taken apart.

    At first I liked the HUGE size of the head. But having used it for awhile, it is far to big to keep in medicine cabinet. One nice thing is you can hear as it cuts hair. It would be good for blind people or in low light conditions as you hear whenyour done. Other than that, it takes awhile to get a smooth shave and I seem to get ingrown hairs since using it that I never had before. For the price, I wish I would have picked something else.
