    Great shave but yearly replacement.

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

    This shaver works well for me. I buy a new one every year when the price comes down. The cost of replacement head and blades make it more cost effective to just replace the whole unit. In addition the expected battery life is another reason for yearly replacement.

    I had a much cheaper panasonic shaver and this does a much much better job. I get less skin irritation with this one. I just wish it and the replacement blades were cheaper.

    Don’t buy

    For the price, this razor doesn’t provide anywhere near a “close”shave! The instructions ask you to use it for 30 days before making judgement but I have seen no improvement!

    Razor

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

    My first non rotary razor. It had good reviews for a close shave, which it does on your face and neck, but not your chin. The directions say to try it for a month, so i have 2 more weeks.

    On/Off Switch Defective

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

    Gives a very close, comfortable shave; HOWEVER, the engineering on the on/off button must be improved. First shaver on/off button would not work. Gets stuck in on position and will go off and drain battery while in drawer. Could get it start again after recharging. Bought another Panasonic and after about 1 1/2 years, the on/off button did the same thing. Unfortunately have to buy something more reliable.

    Fell short of expectations

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

    I expected this shaver to provide a close shave, but it leaves many unshaved patches, especially on the neck, corners of the face, and chin and mustache area. If the manufacturer could contact me, it would be great.

    Don't buy these

    The Panasonic wet/dry razors are garbage. The first one I had was replaced under warranty after a year bc water got inside and killed the lcd. My replacement did the same thing after 4 months. It just completely died on me today, a year after it was sent to me. They are NOT well made or sealed properly to be waterproof. Stay away from these at all costs.
