    Terrible for hair growth of 5-7 days.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This razor was not capable of shaving a growth of 5-7 days, no matter how many times I went over my face. The razor does seem to give a very close shave for growth of just 1-2 days. It was uncomfortably noisy when being used closed to my ears.

      We deeply appreciate you took the time to provide us with your feedback, as it helps us in improving our technology and services. Achieving a closer shave often involves shaving against the direction of hair growth. While this delivers smoother results, it's imperative to exercise caution. Begin with a light touch and refrain from excessive repetition over the same area to prevent any skin irritation. If you’re open to discussing it further, please contact the Support Team via Live Chat on the Panasonic Website, Contact Us option, Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm EST in order to determine how we can provide you with a solution. -C Panasonic

    The razor gives a good shave and the battery display keeps you up on what percentage of battery life is left.

    Great electric razor but didn’t keep it

    I purchased this electric razor to give it a try. I’ve used electric razors in the past and didn’t have a best experience. I have a very thick beard. This razor did a great job. It takes time for your beard to get used to it. I’d give it at least a month. My issue was around the neck. I do think that this design is superior over the 3 round razor setup. I ended up returning but do think that could be a great razor for someone else.

    The Arc5's are the best shavers on the market to me. Good value, particularly since I purchased this one as a "Deal of the Day."

    Works as well if not better than my Panasonic Arc3 which finally gave up on the battery after many years of use. The new Arc5 gives a very close and smooth shave without irritation. Much better than competitors. Has a better display of battery life. Cleans up nicely with light soap and water, air dry.

    Nice Close Shave

    I've only used it a few times but It has a nice comfortable close shave. I chose this as the foil shavers are closer shavers than the rotary shavers. Its so far so good, Im happy I chose this one. The pop up shaver helps gives a nice edge up too.

    I find that the in-line style of shavers does a better job for me, as opposed to the triple head, which others prefer. I was replacing a Panasonic Arc 4 and was a little concerned that the shaver head on the Arc 5 seemed large... but I adjusted on the first shave and now find that the larger shaver head makes for a quicker shave. Very comfortable shave whether dry, with pre-shave lotion, or with shaving gel.

    This Panasonic wet-dry razor is one of the best purchases I've made to date. The blades are sleek and sharp, always giving me the smooth and clean shave for my entire beard, neck and mustache area! Also, love the digital battery readout and super fast charge. Great for international travel with a multi outlet adapter and voltage compatibility.

    It shaves much closer than my former razor. I am satisfied with the results. My wife also uses the razor to shave the back of my neck, because she has had to cut my hair this past year during the quarantine. She feels it is much easier to use than the older razor. We find Best Buy products are good quality that can be trusted.
