Wonderful, cute little shaver

I'm so happy I bought this shaver. I read the reviews, some were complaining that it wasn't a great shave, wasn't holding a charge and or it was damaged. For me, I found the opposite. My leg and underarm hair have become very sparse since menopause. I only need to shave every few days. I'm happy with my new shaver. Even though I was using the best razors and shaving butter, my legs itched horribly for days after shaving. This shaver is perfect. I shave my legs in the direction it grows for a nice close shave. It also works well for my armpits and bikini line. Battery is great, it's still going. I haven't had to recharge it since I fully charged it when it was delivered. I highly recommend this cute shaver.

Nice for the price even after 18 months--just be nice to the foil!

This nice little shaver certainly doesn't give quite as perfect a shave as a decent razor with good shave cream, but with a little bit of care, moving it slowly over the skin, and by going over the heaviest areas twice I can get my legs good and smooth and make my pits look as good as they're going to at my age. The double-ended cleaning brush (long soft bristles on one end and short stiff bristles on the other) makes cleaning easy. Honestly, I wasn't sure I'd be happy with a cheap electric shaver after decades of using five blade Venus razors, and I'm sure there are much better ones out there, but between the low price, being able to shave anytime, wasting less hot water, and feeling smug about saving a TON on blades and high quality shave cream I'm really happy with my purchase. A tip if you're switching from a standard razor: make sure that you're pressing the foil against your skin, not the trimmer or the edge of the head. It took a few shaves for me to realize that the rough results I got at first we caused by my lifelong habit of tilting one side of a razor against my leg, but I played with the angles a bit and found that laying the foil as flat as possible against my skin and moving the shaver fairly slowly gives me the best shave. I don't use it in the shower because it doesn't seem to work any better or worse than dry, so I can't testify to how well it works wet. I was a little worried about the battery because of some negative reviews, but it has held up for a year and a half and I can easily shave my moderately hairy legs and armpits twice before the blades slow down. I do charge it the full recommended 24 hours after it starts to run down because that's what the maker recommends, and if I decide to use the razor for a week or two for some reason I top the charge off before using it again. I never had it catch at my skin or pull hair--at least until last week, when my thumb slipped when I got distracted while cleaning the head and the foil was almost pushed right out of its frame. I managed to lift the foil up with a small sewing needle and coax most of its edge back under the frame, so it still works okay, but because the foil got creased and there are now some gaps along its edges it snags a hair a few times per shave. It turns out that Panasonic sells replacement foil for less than ten dollars with free shipping, but at Amazon's current price a new shaver is just five dollars more so, I'm buying another and will save the old one in case the new one gives me any trouble. Bottom line: a highly recommended solution for those who aren't inclined to pay a fortune for a fancy-shmancy shaver.

Life changing in the best way

I wasn't sure I believed the hype about this razor but I figured, for the price, it was worth a shot to combat my chronic bikini area razor burn issues. Let me tell you, I will NEVER go back to shaving my bikini area with a razor again. This product is fantastic! The pop up trimmer handled some of the longer hairs very well, I just used that all over first. Then the foil shaver got a nice smooth shave. No bumps or nicks like I used to get from shaving with a razor. I also tried it on my legs and loved it as well! I'm going to recommend this to all my female friends and will probably purchase some as gifts. I think this is a must have product for every woman!

Fur be gone!

It's springtime and we all know what that means. Time to shave your wooly mammoth legs and go back to putting on the appearance of being a hairless, shiny baby. I've been staring at my legs wondering how in the world I'm going to tame the forest that I cultivated over the winter months and I was terrified. I didn't want to have to spend $30 on razorblades or, god forbid, go get waxed to start off the season right. I didn't want pain, I didn't want hassle. In a brief moment of defeat, I almost ran into the woods to be one with the sasquatch. I purchased this due to the reviews and crossed my fingers. After charging for 24 hours, I decided to give it ago. As I had read, you either need to be fully wet or fully dry, so I decided to go at it fully dry before I hopped in the shower. I used the trimmer part first so that I could get the hair to a manageable length and then went at it full-on. It was so easy, painless, and by god, it did the job. I am not razor-smooth or anything, but I'd be able to go out with shorts on and not be afraid that everyone thinks I'm an ape-woman in disguise. All in-all it took about five-seven minutes. Anyway, it was so easy, I almost never want to use a razor again. I don't care if it feels a bit prickly, I'm more concerned about appearances, and if I'm in a rush out the door the few minutes it would take to run this thing over my legs would be a breeze in comparison to breaking out a razor and cream and cutting myself and drying out my skin. I am no longer a wookie. Thank you, Panasonic.

Surprisingly good for the price.

This electric shaver is surprisingly good for the price. I'm also surprised at how close a shave it was able to get with the foil part. It isn't as close as a regular razor and shaving cream can get but it gets close enough that it looks good enough to leave the house so this would be a good thing to use if you don't want to deal with using a razor and shaving cream. On the pictures I put with this, the picture without socks is the before and the one with socks is after shaving with the electric shaver. I did miss a couple spots but I don't think that is the razor's fault, I just don't have much experience with using an electric shaver and it's kinda hard to keep track of where you've already shaved because you don't have the shaving cream as a marker. Honestly, I think my favorite part of this thing is the fact that I don't have to deal with razor burn anymore. Razor burn was my least favorite part of shaving so I am glad that I don't have to go through that anymore. Over all I definitely recommend this to someone who is looking for an electric razor and wants to spend less than twenty dollars.

Awesome!

This razor is pretty amazing. I used in my bikini area because waxing is so painful, and pricey to keep up. I wanted to find an alternative, and am glad I found this. It has been awhile since I have done maintenance, because I was waiting to test this product. I did not cut my hair shorter, and used the lifted part of the razor, and I must say, Im impressed! It got the job done in about 10 mins, I was able to trim my entire lower region. I did the trimming on dry hair, and it pulled a little at first, but nothing I couldn't handle pain wise. Sorry for the TMI, but its helpful to know. I also charged this for a full day before my first use.

This is a life saver for someone who hates shaving!

This is a life saver for someone who hates shaving! I apologize for the long review beforehand, but I promise you, the details will help you make an informed purchase! ------------------------------------------ BACKGROUND------------------------------------------------------ I'm used to getting my legs, arms, arm pits etc. waxed professionally once a month, back when I was in India. When I moved to the US, I realized how super expensive it is to get it done here, especially on a student budget! I tried waxing at home but there were always difficult patches which would turn sore and red because I couldn't hold the skin taut. Hence, like every one else, I started shaving! The problem was that I had never shaved before. Maybe once or twice in high school but that too when my mother was supervising me. I hated it. I hated spending extra time in the shower. I hated that it had to be done more often. I hated the cuts and razor burns. I tried shaving my arms once and it was a disaster. That's when I thought that I should probably look up electric shavers, and I found this one! ------------------------------------------ REVIEW------------------------------------------------------ Close shave: I think the main issue most people face with electric shavers is getting a close shave. If done right, this can give a close shave. Hold the shaver perpendicular to the surface, so that the foil and both side of the trimmer are touching your skin. The trick is to go back and forth several times over the same area. There is a little bit of a spring action, so that you can, very gently, press it down on your skin, giving a closer shave. If you have longer hair, apply some baby powder and run a dry towel across the area in the direction opposite to the hair growth to lift the hair up. If you have really long thick hair (or if you are a guy shaving his legs), use the pop up trimmer to trim first. Battery life: Even though it said that it needs to be charged for 12 hours before the first use and between every use, I used it right out of the box to test it out on a small patch. It shaved well. I decided to wait 24 hours just to make sure I'm not getting any reaction, and charged it in the mean time. The blades did spin faster. So I believe it's a good idea to charge it between shaves. The manual says that 12 hours of charging gives about 20 minutes of shave, which sounds ridiculous at first. However, it took me, the amateur shaving person, 10 to 12 minutes to shave both legs, both arms and underarms. I think 20 minutes is more than enough. Wet shaving: UPDATE After a few months if use, I tried out wet shaving and I loved it. It became my preferred method over dry shaving. Since there was no risk of cuts like a regular razor, my main issue of not being able to see in the shower with my glasses on was no longer a concern. I could go over the same area multiple times. Being in the shower already meant I could quickly rinse off the shaver instead of brushing the hair off after every section, and allowed me to get a better shave overall. I used some shower gel or soap, not shaving cream. I found that keeping the skin and the shaver super wet and slippery helped it glide on the skin easily. I shaved against the direction of hair growth to get a good close shave. This method took me maybe a few minutes lesser than dry shaving. Before the update: ___________________________ Since I hated shaving, I don't think this is a feature I want to try. The manual says I can use this with some shaving cream, and I lot of reviews say that your skin needs to be soaking wet to shave. If I ever do try it, I will update this. I think it's unnecessary to wet shave when I'm getting very good results shaving it dry, however, I feel it's a good feature to have in case that's your only option, for example, if your sharing a hotel room with friends and don't have the privacy. ___________________________ Regrowth: Surprisingly, the regrowth was not as blunt as normal shaving, which is what gave me the confidence to shave my arms! You do have to let it grow a little longer than usual to shave well. Cleaning: It is extremely easy to clean. It comes with a dual ended brush to brush of hair during the shave. After I am done shaving, I pop the head off and rinse both, the head and the blades inside in water. It's a good idea to press your finger onto the faucet so that it gives out a sharp forceful stream. I first rinse the head, then put a some hand soap in some water in a cup, and leave the head in that to soak while I clean the blades inside. I first rinse the blades in the sharp stream, then I dunk the blade only in the cup full of soap water and swish it around, and then rinse both the head and the blades. I use a q tip to get into the corners of the plastic inside. To dry off, I sort of shake both the parts vigorously so that the water falls out, put the top back on to protect the blade, and leave it to air dry for a few hours. Once I know it's fully dry, I put it for charging. Ergonomics: For dry shaving and washing, it's very easy to hold. It fits well in my small hands and doesn't slip out of my grip. I don't know if the surface will become slippery if you're shaving wet with shaving cream. The placement of the buttons is good so that you can start and stop the shaver or open and close the pop trimmer with the thumb of the hand you're holding it with. I believe the design is good for both, right handed and left handed people. The side of the the blade is big enough for quick shaves, and small enough to get around difficult areas. Portability: If you have the right case to carry it in, it's easily portable. The case that comes with it is too small to fit both the shaver and the charger. This is my only complaint. Other than that, it's not too bulky and heavy to travel with. Longevity: Only time will tell. I have had it only for a few weeks and used it 3-4 times, and so far it's great. The blade and the foil are replaceable, so that's a good think. Other than that, if you read the manual, follow the instructions, keep it clean and charge it timely, you're doing everything on your side to maintain the product. If anything goes wrong or I face any issues, I will come back and update this. Overall, I think it's a good product, very affordable (I bought it for 14.99, the original price is 29.99, which is still great if it lasts for more than a year), it does the job well without nicks and cuts, and it is FAST! If you found this review helpful, give it a thumbs up! If you have any questions, please comment below and I will try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. Have a great day! :)

PROS AND CONS

Pros: -Can shave quick without having to shower -After you shave, no visible hairs -No need to shave for up to 3 days after using this guy -Easy to clean and take apart -Non-obtrusive charging (it's actually perfect for the outlet in my bathroom) -Much cheaper than buying Venus blades every few weeks -Feels good in the hand; It is the right size for shaving -Can't accidentally make yourself bleed by cutting yourself. Cons: -Does not feel as clean when using this blade 'wet' - tried it once in the shower, never again. Wet whirring metal on my bare skin skeeves me out. -Can sometimes irritate skin (I've used all those no irritate tips from other comments - I have very sensitive skin and this might just be a bit too much for me. Every once in a while, I'll have this 'raw' feeling that I never got when using my 5-Blade Venus) -Might be spoiled, but I feel a little stubble after this. I know it'll never be a perfect shave, but I have very fine hair and I'm used to my silky smooth legs. As far as Electric Shavers go, it is fantastic. I won't be abandoning my razor altogether, but this is definitely a new favorite. I hope this baby lasts me a long time.

I decided to get an electric razor, looked at a lot of different brands, read lots of reviews and decided on this one.

After years of plucking hairs off my face, I even tried an epilator, (ouch, don't recommend) it finally got to the point where I couldn't keep up. I decided to get an electric razor, looked at a lot of different brands, read lots of reviews and decided on this one. Guess what it says? Plucking makes the hair grow in thicker, What? So ladies pass it on to those that are younger, and tell them to go with an electric razor. Yes, my husband told me a while ago to get an electric razor, but I look at his 5:00 shadow and thought no way. I was wrong. I have darker hair from some of the ones I plucked, but shaving with an electric razor I see no darker hair anymore because I'm more likely to shave every day or so. Also, no non electric razors either. I tried them first and with all the contours of my faces it was a disaster, Nicks around lips and under my nose, Ow! Give it a try and see. It is easy to charge, no cord. Huh? It plugs into a device that plugs directly into the outlet, slick. The instructions are good, Easy to follow. I haven't tried it on my legs or under my arms, yet. I have many mores years of practice with a regular razor to yet switch. Maybe I'll get a second one and keep the first one just for my face.

Works great if you use it correctly!

I've read so many complaints about this and other electric shavers that I thought I ought to clarify a few things and help everyone get a smooth, non-injurious shave. First a heads-up: you will never get quite as smooth with an electric shaver than you will with a razor, but you can get pretty close. For me, this is an advantage because I can shave more often and avoid razor burn, but if you have dark hair and light skin where every tiny bit of stubble shows, then you may want to stick with a razor. Now, on to the actual shaving advice: First of all, friction is responsible for most of your nicks and also for those extremely painful incidents where a small bit of skin gets caught by the shaver. When the blades spin fast, friction is reduced. You need to make sure your shaver is fully charged before you use it. Although this shaver theoretically holds a charge for multiple shaves, I don't advise you to try it. Charge that baby all the way each and every time you use it! If you are using it on your underarms or bikini line, you will probably want to do those areas first, when the shaver is at its most powerful. Second, This is a wet/dry shaver, not a damp shaver. It needs to glide smoothly over your skin, and if your skin is only damp, like from the bath or from sweating in a humid bathroom, it's going to be tacky and the shaver will skip rather than glide, and you will be forced to press down harder to keep contact - this can also cause nicks and cuts. So make sure your skin is either totally wet or totally dry. I do mine after the shower and use a hair-dryer on low to totally dry off my skin before I use it. Finally, unless you are just doing a touch-up shave, you must cut your hair down with the clipper setting before you use the foil. The foil is for cutting very short hair down to skin level, but it is going to catch and pull any hair that is longer. If your hair is long enough to be cut by the clippers, you need to use them first before letting the foil touch your skin. I hope that this advice will give you a wonderfully smooth and satisfying shaving experience with this or any electric shaver you decide to buy.
