Upgraded after happily using an older Panasonic model for the past 12 years. Very happy with the new shaver.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome shaver. I’m in Gillette labs user and get excellent results with that system, but I was looking for something I could travel with more easily. I was skeptical about using electric razors because I’ve tried them in the past and returned them, but I figured I’d give the Panasonic a shot. It’s foreign away the best electric shaver I’ve ever used and I’ve used a bunch.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We designed it with both performance and portability in mind, so it’s great to know it's hitting the mark. Here's to smooth travels and even smoother shaves!

My husband has one and I love it so I figured I'd get one for myself. It doesn't cut the same way which takes longer to get the smooth shave in assuming for.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from PanasonicBy Team Panasonic - S, Team Panasonic, July 7, 2025
Hi Carmen! We appreciate your feedback! Achieving a closer shave with an electric shaver can sometimes be different from a manual razor. Here are a few tips to help you get a closer shave. Make sure your skin is clean and dry before shaving. You can also try shaving after a warm shower to soften the hair follicles. For a closer shave, try shaving against the direction of hair growth. Be gentle and avoid pressing too hard to prevent irritation. While shaving, use your free hand to stretch the skin in the area you're shaving. This can help the shaver get closer to the hair. Remember, electric shavers may take some time to get used to, but with the right technique, you can achieve a closer shave.

To me the size of the shaver is too big too me. It does a great job of shaving my facial hair in flat area but for curves area I had to move around several times to get a clean cut. Also I see the battery life doesn’t last as long as my old Panasonic ES-RW30. I love Panasonic wet/dry but this one I am not a fan too much cause of the size. But i am loyal Panasonic shovel I will still use it for now
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Hugh! Thank you for your continued support and for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear it's performing well on flat areas, though we understand the size may make curved areas a bit trickier. Your feedback on battery life and comfort is valuable and helps us continue improving our designs. We truly appreciate your loyalty to Panasonic.

Closer and smoother than blades, been using electric last few years and this is quite amazing… hope the blades on the shaver don’t have to be replaced often, otherwise a home run.

Hi there! Thank you for your great feedback! We’re glad to hear the shaver is giving you a close and smooth shave that impresses even after using electric for years. We design the blades to be durable, but if replacement is ever needed, they’re easy to swap out to keep your shaver performing like new. Sounds like you’re well on your way to a home run.
