PanasonicES-LV9U Wet & Dry 5-Blade Electric Shaver for Men - Precise Clean Shaving with Cleaning & Charging Stand, Black - UK 2 pin plug

Since age 16 when I had decent stubble and I’ve always kept that look over a clean shave (mostly. Fast forward 22 years and my stubble is now getting grey, so it was time to say goodbye to it. I spent hours researching the best electric shavers, and Panasonic kept coming out on top.So I bought the latest version of the arc 5, the series 900.For the first couple of days I was unsure, it wasn’t particularly comfortable and I was missing a lot of hairs, but now after using it for a few more shaves I have gotten to grips with it and it is absolutely fantastic.The build quality is excellent, it feels like a very premium piece of kit. It has great ergonomics and a professional look and feel to it.It’s dead easy to clean, and the battery charges quickly and lasts well.It’s just an excellent shaver that’s very comfortable to use once you get used to it.Use it everyday, it just takes a few minutes and once your face is used to it it’ll be a very satisfying experience.Use a preshave gel to make things even comfier if you need to. Don’t press on hard, just let the shaver do the work.The only downside is the shaver doesn’t like long stubble, the shorter the better, and those tricky flat neck hairs tend to stay flat. I just get a razor out and quickly shave off any stray hairs that the Panasonic misses, but it’s only a few.Overall very happy and I think I’ll always stick to electric shavers now.

This is the first electric razor I have used. I absolutely do not regret it. It is excellent. I use it every morning. It takes me 5 minutes to shave, and I have quite a thick and tough beard. Initially, I struggled with it and got very irritated. I didn't follow the instructions and used it incorrectly. After about 10 days, I came to appreciate it a lot. I learned how to use it, read the instructions, and now things are going very well. The cleaning station can be a bit noisy, but overall both the razor and the cleaning station do their job perfectly. Everithing is good: Battery, appearance and about money I can't have an opinion because is very relativ.

I have been using Panasonic razors for a number of years they are the best this new one is quality it feels lighter in use the shaving is so close the battery lasts for days of use so yes they cost a lot but they are more than worth it my last is 10yrs old & still going.

I brought this shaver recently, I also have a Braun series 9 shaver with the pro 9 blade.Both are really good shavers but I have to say that the Panasonic gives a more comfortable and cleaner shave. It glides across the skin without tugging or causing irritation.The Braun I feel is more aggressive and although sharp and provides a clean shave the Panasonic edges it and with fewer passes too maybe it’s because it has 5 foils as opposed to the Brauns 4I also like the fact that the head on the Panasonic flexes in different directions and really is a quality well built piece of kit.It doesn’t take long to charge and it is a powerful shaver. One thing that is important to remember is It’s designed primarily to shave the face, I shave my both my face and head with it and again it’s an outstanding super clean cut!Also it requires a running in period where your skin adjusts to the blades. Everyone’s hair growth and density is different so results may vary.The only cons I have is to find a replacement blade as a back up seems impossible. Amazon doesn’t sell the replacement cutting blades and five head replacement foils either and looking else where online yields the same results.I don’t understand how a shaver of this calibre and from a reputable brand doesn’t have the blades readily available. Even on Panasonics own site you can’t buy them.Hopefully this is something that Amazon can stock soon.To conclude anyone looking for a high quality shaver should have this on their short list. I’ve retired my Braun series 9 for the mean time as this one is just so good to use.

This the best, I had the other model first, the one with the cleaning unit I thought it would be more trouble then worth it, so I sent it back and purchased this one, it's the best shaver I have had, it fits nicely in hand when using it gives the closest shave I have had from a electric one, the trimmer is great, I only wash it out once a week and oil it, after using it normally I give it a very very light tap on both ends of foil head and then a good blow out , I use Panasonic brushes bought from Amazon, I have tried it wet but prefer dry I have a sensitive skin but get no discomfort after shaving I put it down to the two small rollers in the head you cannot push it too hard into face when shaving, I am extremely pleased with this item and would recommend it to anyone you will not be disappointed with it, I am in my eighties . I have used other well known electric razors, they get no where near this one.
