    I purchased this as a replacement for another shaver. This is a nice shaver, doesn't irritate and adjusts strength to account for pressure etc. Nice shaver and well recommended!

    Horrible shave

    This electric shaver is horrible. It does not give you a close shave. It leaves spots of hair after shaving for 15 mins. I am shocked at how high these reviews were for this product.

      We are sorry to read about this negative experience. Before initiating your electric shaving journey, acquaint yourself with the shaver's intricacies. Familiarize yourself with how the blades move, the positioning of guards, and any adjustable settings. Each shaver model is unique in its design, impacting the way it should be used for optimal performance. When you switch from a manual razor to an electric shaver, it may take 1-2 weeks for you and your skin to adjust and achieve the close shave you are accustomed to.

    While I bought it for my father, I did try it out just for grins. Not as close as a safety razor, but one heck of a lot more convenient. Would I buy one for myself? Maybe

    I have used many shavers in the past, from Braun to Norelco but this Panasonic Arc5 is the best in my opinion. It didn't dull out as quickly comparing to my Norelcos.

    Has 5 cutting surfaces, making for a very large thing to go up and down when shaving, and kinda hard shaving upper lip. Each cuts a different way. Can’t really tell difference between this and a much lower cost Braun Series 3. Got on sale for $119 which was only $20 higher than Arc 3. Bought it because Brauns battery stops working after a year. But don’t know how long this will last. Might return it.

    The shaver doesn't even shave wet or dry. Bought it during Christmas as a gift for my son. Went to return to Best Buy but couldn't because I had it one month and a week. I will not buy anything else from Best Buy.

      Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry you're not thrilled with your experience so far. Everyone's skin and hair growth are different, and it can take about 30 days to adjust to any new shaving method. We'd also recommend trying the shaver wet, as this works more effectively for many of our customers. Panasonic
