What a great shaver!!!!
Fantastic electric foil shaver!! I bought this and a couple other more expensive brands/types to find out which would give me the closest head shave. This one wins hands down. It's better than the high dollar multi-blade foil razors that are 3 times the price, way better than the skull shaver, and better than a good multi-blade Mach razor. I like my head to be as smooth as a baby's butt.........and this guy can do it quickly. The reason it works so well and shaves so close is that it only has one foil. It's one big flexing foil with a blade that cuts over the full semi-circle, so it cuts no matter which part of the foil the hair comes in contact with. The multi-foil razors only cut over a small angle of the curved foil, so you have to orient them to the changing surface of your skin all the time. This one cuts at any angle.........and the holes in the foil on this razor are BIG.....so your hair easily fits thru and gets cut. It shaves much closer than the skull shaver, and does it quicker and quieter for about $80 bucks less! Compared to the multi-blade Mach-type razor it shaves as close if not closer. How can that be? Simple..........because the foil keeps the blades from contacting your skin you can push the razor into your skin harder than you can a Mach-type with exposed razor blades, which if you use a lot of pressure will cut and nick the heck out of your noggin'. It's also easy to clean and doesn't get hot as you use it. So it's the best performer for a head shave, is cheap, but it isn't rechargeable. I figured that would be a show-stopper, as I didn't want to have to buy AA batteries all the time.........but after reading the reviews that kept mentioning how long the batteries last........I figured I'd give it a try. I've had it about a month now, use it every morning for about 5 minutes......and it runs as strong now as the day I bought it. Really. I don't know how it uses so little energy, but I can see why people claim the batteries last for many months! And lastly.........it's smooth! The motor just hums compared to the other razors, especially the skull shaver, which sounds and vibrates like the motor cost a buck. The only thing I can't comment on is how much the replacement foil and blades are..........this might be one of those things where it's cheaper to just buy a new razor than to replace the foil and blades. I hope not, but we'll see when I get there. Honestly, I expected this cheap electric shaver to probably be a piece of junk........but boy was I wrong. This is the only one I use now, and for the price it just blows the competition away. Incredible!!

This Panasonic Razor Gives as Good or Better Shaves Than Ones Costing Hundreds of Dollars
Great shaver! If you are careful with it, the foil will not be damaged. I keep mine in the shipping tray it came in to avoid damage. The key to shaving with any electric razor is to shave in small circles to avoid razor burn. Because this is a wet/dry razor, you can soften your beard with hot water first and then use a light coating of shaving cream (I like Cremo), and you will not get razor burn. I always get close shaves that way. This razor shaves as well or better than ones that cost hundreds of dollars. The price is so low that I always keep a spare Panasonic razor in the event I damage the foil. You can get replacement foils and cutters however I find the replacement foils are not quite the same as the originals and by the time you buy replacement parts, you have spent a few dollars more than the cost of a new Panasonic. Just buy it and take care of it. You will not be disappointed.

Cheap razor, decent shave
I've been using cartridges for years, but I always wanted to try a foil razor, so I bought this one. I liked the price and the fact that I could use it in my shower. I also liked being able to pop my own rechargeable batteries into it. I used it several times in the shower, always with bad results. I made many passes over my skin, and still my face felt rough. Finally I decided to try pushing hard with it, and I ended up with a terrible shave, plus my face hurt me. Lesson learned: pushing harder does not work. Not wanting to give up, I researched pre shaves and decided to try Afta. It's a lotion, not a liquid, and I thought it might work better in the shower. I applied the Afta and waited a couple of minutes to let it dry. Then I shaved, making light passes with the razor. I'm not going to lie, I made mutlple passes, but I'd do the same with a cartridge. My shave was fairly quick, my face wasn't sore, and the result was better than acceptable. What impressed me the most was that I didn't work especially hard and I still didn't seem to miss any spots. As they say, your mileage may vary, but for me this razor and a little Afta did the trick. Final note: I've tried this razor both in and out of the shower. I was shocked that even with a wet face the After seemed to work fine. I got a good shave both ways, but I give the edge to shaving out of the shower. UPDATE 2 1/2 years later. I'm still using my Panasonic, but how I use it has changed. Long ago I had a Norelco that cut my beard very well, but I hated cleaning it. What I have discovered is that this razor only cuts my bear well if I keep it fairly short, which basically means I have to cut it every day. Leaving in in my bathroom made that a chore. I dislike standing in front of mirror long enough to brush my teeth and dry my hair, so very often I skipped the shave, which caused problems. To fit that i now leave my razor and my Afta next to my desk. Now I can shave when I'm reading my screen and it doesn't add to my mirror time, which I find a key benefit. As long as I shave every day I can get a nice, clean shave. I do have to make multiple passes, though. I'll also say that I rarely have to change batteries. All-in-all I'm happy with my purchase, and I'd buy it again. It just requires a bit of getting used to.

I shave daily and tend to prefer the small travel shavers as they do a quick, decent job. I have finer hair and the growth isn't dense. This review is for those who don't grow wire brushes on their face. The immediate feel of the product is that it has decent weight to it - not overly heavy, but just feels nice in the hand (ie. doesn't feel cheap). It feels powerful and the motor is relatively quiet (nothing is super quiet, otherwise it's dead!). I shave daily so it does a great job of giving a very smooth shave - sometimes it requires one pass, sometimes a couple of passes, but overall, it's quick and did I mention the end result is smooth? Totally happy with the purchase. My partner on the other hand, couldn't get it to do anything when attempting to use it on a 3 day growth - thick and abundant facial hair. I'd previously used the Philips PQ206, which really didn't have a good feel in the hand and it didn't give a proper shave. I always felt that it would be just a temporary shaver (bought while traveling). One of the rotary blades eventually failed and I'm actually glad it forced me into buying a new shaver. The blade cover doesn't fit securely and will almost always pop off with the slightest bump (I eventually gave up using it). When searching for a new shaver, I mulled over the 3 contenders (Philips as previously owned, this Panasonic that's been reviewed above, and the Braun M90). Took me a couple of weeks of decision making but am pretty glad that I made the choice of the Panasonic. Needless to say the Philips was eliminated as a contender right from the start but it was one of the 3 most similar shavers. I've used Braun shavers in the past and would have purchased the M90 for the protective "flip cover" but decided to give the Panasonic a go based on reviews here ... I have no regrets on my decision though I am sure the Braun would have done just as well.

Der Rasierer ist handlich und trotzdem kann man sich gut damit rasieren. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis stimmt. Sehr praktisch auf Reisen bzw. im Campingurlaub.

I was recommended this travel razor by a friend who had previously spent a lot of money on some very expensive electric shavers. His excellent advice which has been bourne out by my experience of the last three weeks, is that this cheap travel razor is as efficient as some of his expensive models. After years of wet shaving, the first couple of uses I was a little sore but my skin quickly settled down and I found I could shave with this easily and quickly, without irritation. It did miss a couple of hairs on my neck in particular but once I had learned the technique of holding my skin taught, that was no longer a problem. The shaver uses two AA batteries and I have noticed no slow down after three weeks of daily use. You can use this wet or dry. I have tried both but prefer the convenience of using it dry. It is easy to disassemble to clean using the supplied brush and cold water. I also use canned air to clean between the blades. You can also use a drop of hand wash to use the vibrations of the head to get a nice lather and rinse the head. The only negative I have found with it, is that the clear plastic guard for the foil can easily pop off leaving the fragile foil exposed. Take care with it, find a pouch or even use an elastic band to retain it and you should be fine.
