I have a job that I need to look well kempt and professional at all times. I have three young kids and not a lot of time for myself. I also didn't have a ton of money to spend on a shaver. This product has met all of my criteria and more. I would recommend this shaver to anyone who wants a great shave but can't or won't spend the big bucks on a flashy bruan or other overly priced model. This thing gets the job done for a great price!

Not as strong as I'd like, but it gets the job done, got it on sale so worth the price

This shaver is excellent. The shave is very close, but not uncomfortably so. The battery lasts for many more shaves than any other I've owned. It is also quite, and you can clean the blades with soap and water.

After wearing a mustache and goatee for the past ten years, I started shaving off all my facial hair at the request of the lovely lady I was dating, which meant shaving with a blade and cream and enduring razor-burn on my upper lip, or relying on my existing electric shavers, which didn't provide nearly as close a shave. When this became available as a Deal of the Day, I decided to give it a try. After three weeks of daily use, I'd say I'm very pleased with the job it's doing. I get almost as close a shave on my cheeks, chin and upper lip as I do with a blade. It doesn't give me a smooth shave on my neck or below the chin, but neither has any other razor, and it does seem to be doing a better job as I use it more. One very pleasant surprise: I charged the battery when it first arrived, and I have yet to have to recharge it! I wasn't expecting a miracle with this shaver, and I didn't get one. But what I did get was a convenient electric shaver that I am pleasantly satisfied with.

Comfortable, quiet and gives a smooth shave. Holds charge well so far, and can be used wet or dry, even with shaving cream if that is your choice. Some have said you may need up to 30 days for your beard to adjust for closest shave but I did not find that to be the case.

Easy to use while providing an excellent shave, this shaver is a good buy for anyone new to electric shaving. For more mature shavers, you can rely on this product doing the job without skin burn.

I have used Remington razors for years and was happy with them, so I was taking a chance by going with a Panasonic. And I'm glad I did. The shave is smooth and close and there is a lot less irritation than my Remington. Being able to use it in the shower is big bonus too.

Easy enough for my dad to use and handle on his own

This is my third Panasonic shaver and it doesn't disappoint. I have found Panasonic shavers as giving me close, smooth shaves, much better than Norelco and Remmington. And as I upgraded shavers, the quality of my shave has improved and the ease of using the shaver amazes me. You can't go wrong with using a Panasonic shaver. I just wish Best Buy would carry more models of these shavers.

I love this shaver! I take blood thinners so I cannot shave with a razor. But this shaver gets just as close! It holds a good charge and charges fast when it needs it. And I love the hair trimmer attachment -- it works very nicely. One tip -- use the oil included with the shaver. I have noticed I get a closer shave when I oil the blades every third or fourth shave. Enjoy.

easy to clean...and shaves very close. Love the trimmer.

As an electric razor, very good. I actually like it better than my older Braun (which has had the blades replaced recently). As a trimmer, very good, also. So, why not 4 or 5 stars?1. The way the trimmer attaches to the razor is cumbersome. Sometimes I remove the blade cover with the trimmer attachment.2. No travel consideration. No case (soft or hard), so I have to pack the items in between clothes to protect. As one who travels often, this is a large oversight on Panasonic's part.I haven't tried in in the shower, but that is not important to me. Again, it performs well, but the execution of a 2 in 1 lacks in design, imo.

Good shaver would be better if it had a several head

I had Philips Norelco that I used for about 8 years and that has pretty similar functions (dry/wet; built in trimmer) to this Panasonic model and around the same price range. The Philips with its rotating blades pulled as it cut so it caused discomforting feeling, and it was not easy to clean it thoroughly.

I had a Braun before, and it served me well, but its battery gave out and I switched to the blade. I've been using a blade shaver for the past 5 years,, and decided that it was time to go back to an electric. I did some research and wanted a wet/dry shaver, I like this shaver, the only complaint I have is that the arc flexing is a little stiffer than I'd like, I've had it for 4 weeks and use it as a daily shaver. Battery life is about 6 days of a 3 minute shave, so your mileage may vary.

I always used Panasonic electric shavers but this one is the best so smooth and so light

Razor does the job. For long hairs, use the trimmer and finish off shaver.

Bought for my husband, he likes it gets a good shave, it was a decent price, and the battery lasts a week before we have to recharge it.

Bought this Panasonic razor as a gift for a fantastic price.
