Panasonic Electric Razor for Men, Electric Shaver, ARC5 with Premium Automatic Cleaning and Charging Station, Wet Dry Shaver Men, Cordless Razor, with Pop-Up Trimmer ES-LV97-K, Black

It's really good machine, i experience different machine on Panasonic was really good but this machine brings you to next level of shaving, highly recommended by me because since more then 15 years im shaving in home and use few types of machine brands, Panasonic and especially this machine is really good.

A little noisy due to the power of the shaver but a very good shave.

I could kick myself for not going with electric razor sooner. I've been using razor blades for 30 years now and I recieved this panasonic arc 5 as a gift and this has been life changing for me. LIFE CHANGING. How could I be so stupid wasting tons and tons of money on expensive razor blades and handles which dont last and irritate the skin. I wouldn't shave daily because I wanted to make my blades last as long as possible. I also shaved minimal so that there would be less irritation and cutting of skin. Nicks would still happen occasionally. Shaving cream bottle after shaving cream bottle. So much time and money and headache. I never thought an electric razor could shave close. I'm the kind of man who thinks men should be clean shaven so its an important ritual. The panasonic arc 5 cuts as good or even better than my best blades. Japan steel is amazing. Japan makes great products. I'm an advocate of anything made in the USA, In Japan, or Germany. Usually you can't go wrong. High quality engineering. I use my arc 5 daily now, even when I'm actually done shaving I keep on shaving because its so relaxing and therauputic to use. So easy, So gentle. Just like a REAL blade its important to go in different directions to get the perfect shave. Right to left. left to right. downward, upward. angled. pull your skin taut in some areas might help. Exactly the things I do when using a real blade. I do this with my new shaver to acheive perfection. The pop out trimmer works perfectly for sideburns. The cleaning unit is awesome. Once I'm done shaving I dump the shaver in it and it starts charging. The stand is beautiful looking. If I need to clean it , which I do maybe once a week, I push one button and it begins the clean and dry cycle. You just need to setup once with the tiny packet of panasonic soap and some water and it lasts about month before you need to refill with water and another little packet of soap. I now recommend electric shavers to EVERYONE I know. And the shaver I recommend is the arc 5 or the arc 6 along with the cleaning stand. I think battery life is great. Mine never gets low since I have the stand. I couldn't imagine not having the stand. Comes with travel case. A little brush. One or two packets of soap. Oil. Cord. You can lock the head or you can let it pivot freely. There are two arc 5 versions one has more pivotal movements than the other. The arc6 besides having more an additional "blade" array, has additional pivotal movements somehow.

ALL the Panasonic Arc5 shavers are excellent - and I've had several. On ONE model, however, the plastic SHAVER's latch for the blade head BROKE, making the shaver USELESS, when the shaver had a LONG lifespan ahead of it otherwise! This model shaves VERY smoothly. Unfortunately, however, Panasonic can't seem to make its mind up about what information the LED displays are supposed to provide. Other models display time elapsed and then percent of charge remaining OR percent of recharge PROGRESS. THIS model ONLY displays a vertical scale of charge/recharge - less useful than the NUMBER displays of time elapsed OR charge/recharge levels. Nevertheless, these Panasonic shavers are the VERY BEST PERIOD, in spite of minor shortcomings. Functionally, they're the BEST!!!

Vale o que custa.

Works like a dream! Cuts smoothly, no knocks ever, easy to clean, good design and build quality. So far for months now has worked flawlessly. Battery power lasts over a week of daily use. And healthy amount of accessories included. Only tiny bummer, it does terrible when stuble grows too long. Best for short to smooth skin maintenance.
