Panasonic Wet/Dry Shaver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This electric razor has better marketing than design. I bought this to replace an old Braun razor that I liked, but the trimmer broke, so I thought I would try a different brand. The Panasonic had some good reviews and the ads were compelling. I found that it gave a much poorer shave and had many design flaws.
Pros:
-Quiet to operate compared to many electric razors
-Cleaning system is a nice feature, though not really necessary
Cons:
-The center cutters are part of the shaver head and not replaced when you replace the regular foil and cutters
-The shaving surface is much narrower than the plastic head, so you can't get very close to "obstacles" like ears and noses
-The shaver is underpowered and slows down with a heavy beard, and hence takes much longer to fully shave
-The shaver just doesn't shave closely and misses hairs. It has no where near the speed and closeness of my older Braun, or even
an old Remington I used before the Braun.(but the Remington was LOUD)
-In addition to it being a poor performing razor, it has one really, really, irritating feature... It has a blinking LED light
on it that blinks when you place the razor in the cleaning/charging station. This is as bright as if you had a neon sign right outside your window... "EAT AT JOE's..... EAT AT JOE's....", completely absurd design.
-I find the flexible head to be unnecessary, and the angled surfaced to be bothersome (to the point where I sometimes found
it easier to shave holding the razor upside down.)
Summary: Keep looking, this is not an electric razor you will be happy with. (p.s. I did buy a new Braun 790, and it is quite similar to the old Braun, it gives an excellent, fast and close shave, is quiet, has the cleaning station, but it does not appear they have improved the trimmer, so be careful using the trimmer, there is a weakness in the elbow where it flips open and closed)
