    I have been using Panasonic razors for over 10 years now and have been very happy with them. The ARC 5 is probably the best I have ever used.

    so this was replacing a razor that i used for years. it works well aside from few areas on neck where seems miss spots that i have try harder hit from another angle to get them. the battery doesn't seem last decently but dose seem lose charge over time if not used. its relatively easy to clean over all its easier to use then the razor I was using and faster

    Real Advance in Shaving

    Ok, I admit it, I'm really surprised at how well the Panasonic Arc 5 shaves. I wanted a shaver that was completely shower safe and washable, not just partially rinse-able and the Panasonics are really the best at that. I figured I would give it a weeks worth of shaving to try it out. The Arc 5 is great, way better than my old rotary. Even the first shave was very smooth with no straggling whiskers or feeling like I had to go back over an area. I found myself spending less time shaving than usual because I didn't have to feel for the rough spots that needed more attention. It's actually gotten better after a week. The entire week, I never felt like I needed to shave again to go out in the evening. I'm sold! When you open the box, the first thing you notice is the huge, 5 element foil head. I was worried about beard edges and tight places, but it works fine; really surprising. There was no real problem shaving in tight places. It also comes with a proprietary world voltage (100-240v) charger, brush, oil, and case. Charging was quick, 20% to 100% in about 40min. The graphical display tells you the charge in 20% increments. After the first week of shaving, the Arc 5 is down to 60%, so two weeks on a charge is easily achievable. The head is hinged so that it will rock side to side and kinda roll forward and backward. It allows the head to follow the contours of your faces or neck easily. If you prefer you can lock the head in place and control the angle with the handle. And there is a small, popup trimmer which is actually useful because it isn't too large. It's also mercifully quiet for a razor. Cleaning consists of squirting some handsoap into the head and rinsing it clean, very easy. The Panasonic Arc 5 shaver is an excellent razor which provides a close, clean shave quietly and quickly. I highly recommend it. I'm sure you will find it a superior shaver.

    This is my 3rd Panasonic Arc razor because I like them so much. Great clean, shave with no bumps or burns. Stomps on the much more expensive Braun razors.

    My Second Panasonic Shaver for a Reason

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

    I am happy with the results for an electric razor. I had a previous Panasonic for many years and decided to upgrade. The previous one still worked though, so I have passed it on to a family member. Hopefully this model will last as long. Have to go over some areas a few times, but that is my experience with all electric shavers. Panasonic is less expensive than other brands, but does a similar job in my opinion.

    Who ever gave this shaver anything above a 2 star must be insane. I bought this shaver for my boyfriend this past Christmas and we were in shock when the shaver wasn’t shaving the hair off evenly. He literally had to sit there and make 10 to 15 passes in the same spot. He had patches of shaved hairs on his head and beard/face (he shaves his head bald) . He then decided to read the directions to make sure there wasn’t anything he was missing. He was following all the instructions properly and even shaving in the direction the pamphlet suggested. Finally, we realized that the shaver has a “built-in sensor”. What the sensor does, it senses the thickness and length of your hairs and then adjust the strength or power accordingly. Well it seems the shaver never likes to adjusts to “full power”. Therefore, reason why this shaver sucks!
