Close shaving!
on November 2, 2025
Posted by: reviewsunderthemoon_2204
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery life is great, I definitely feel confident charging it and traveling knowing it will last through many shaves. Its quite and durable. I love it can be used wet or dry. And the lockout comb is perfect for the hubby's persice parts of his beard and mustache. The swivel head definitely makes this shaver for me, moving with all the contours of my legs and his neck, leaving no spot behind. An upgrade to what I was previously using for sure!

It’s fantastic that both you and your husband are getting great use from it, from precise beard edges to silky-smooth legs! We designed it with long battery life, comfort, and flexibility in mind, so it’s wonderful to know it’s making your grooming routine easier (and a little more fun).

Love it!
on October 27, 2025
Posted by: huntfindz_8481
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so impressed with this shaver! Not only is it a dry shaver but I can use it wet on my client and partner with ease. No tugging on the skin or pulling the hair out at the root. On just one charge I am able to use it for two full work days without any low battery symptoms. When running it across the skin it glides smooth and leaves the skin feeling silky soft. It is a very quiet machine and does not make a lot of noise when running. I love that the head of shaver has options to lock the swivel/tilt feature and open the pop out precision trimmer. I highly recommend this shaver if you are looking for a nice, smooth, clean shave!

Nice razor, nice for quick leg touch up!
on October 24, 2025
Posted by: jackiec7707_7569
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this thing! I haven’t had a wet/dry razor for a long time, so it was like Christmas when I opened it LOL!
The buzzing isn’t really loud, which is nice. It swivels nicely to get everywhere you need it to go. I have been using it to go over my legs and it has done really well with getting them super soft! The battery hasn’t died yet, so that has a nice life span. Over all would recommend!

Great gadget for whole family!
on October 24, 2025
Posted by: marianna_meow_3816
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this shaver — mostly because my boyfriend finally looks like a functioning member of society again (he somehow “forgets” haircuts exist). This little machine does it all: trims, shaves, and even works on wet skin. It charges fast, comes in fancy packaging, and even includes a storage case — because heaven forbid he actually puts things away. He loves it… and I love not dating a mountain man anymore.

Hi there! Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re happy to hear the shaver is keeping both your boyfriend, and your household, looking sharp. It’s great to know the versatility, fast charging, and included storage case are making grooming easy and convenient for the whole family. Happy trimming!

Not great for dry shaving
on October 22, 2025
Posted by: kab11_2241
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband doesn't shave in the shower so this review is just using the razor on a dry face. This razor was a disappointment. It's not that it doesn't shave, it does, but for this price point I expected above average performance. This shaver took way more passes to get a standard shave, and it also caused way more skin irritation than his usual electric razor. The pivoting head seems like a gimmick that didn't add to any kind of increased performance. The razor doesn't function when it's plugged in which is annoying. Maybe this is the best wet shaver on Earth, but as a dry shaver it is average in every way except the price.

Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear the dry shaving experience didn’t meet expectations, especially in terms of comfort and efficiency. While the shaver is optimized for wet use, where many users find enhanced performance and reduced irritation, we understand that not everyone prefers or uses that method. Your comments about the pivoting head and plug-in functionality are appreciated, and we take this kind of input seriously as we continue to improve our products. Thank you again for giving it a try and for your honest review, it truly helps us better serve a variety of grooming needs.

High quality shaver that works well
on October 21, 2025
Posted by: 8thgenerationtexan_1763
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The set comes with the shaver, a charger, a nice carrying case, and a tiny bottle of oil. Charging the shaver is very straightforward. The shaver head moves all around instead of just in a couple of directions. It provides a very close shave and covers a lot of area. I am curious how long the blades will last before they have to be replaced, but so far, it's working pretty well. There is a little pop up trimmer that is easy to use. One thing to note is that it does not include a cleaning station, but cleaning the blade isn't a big deal.
The only complaint is that the cap for the razor only goes on one way; it's almost symmetrical, so it's not obvious which way it goes on every time.

Hi there! Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful review! We're happy to hear the shaver is delivering a close, efficient shave and that you're enjoying the flexible head, pop-up trimmer, and included accessories, especially the travel case and easy charging. We appreciate you pointing out the cap design and your curiosity about blade longevity. Blade life can vary depending on usage and hair type, but we recommend checking for replacement around the 12–18 month mark for optimal performance. Thanks again for your feedback, it helps us keep improving while knowing what’s working well for you!

Easy to maneuver razor !
on October 21, 2025
Posted by: amateurbrowngirl_3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to clean, quiet and easy to maneuver to your face curves. The razor side is great to cut down larger hair pieces while the front side helps keep it clean shaven. Long lasting battery and love that I don’t need to charge as often. Appreciate the wet and dry separation as well.
Response from PanasonicBy Team Panasonic - F, Team Panasonic, October 22, 2025
Hi there! Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We’re glad to hear how easy the razor is to maneuver and clean, especially around those tricky facial curves. The dual-function design really shines when it comes to tackling both longer hairs and giving that perfectly clean shave. We’re also glad the long-lasting battery and wet/dry versatility are making your grooming routine even smoother.

Closest shave I've seen!
on October 19, 2025
Posted by: officialjenc_159
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a nice razor! My husband tried electric before and it made his skin irritated. Clearly, it depends on the type of razor you buy because this one gives him the closest shave I've ever seen him have and his skin looks great! He loves it!
Response from PanasonicBy Team Panasonic - F, Team Panasonic, October 21, 2025
Hi there! Thank you for sharing this fantastic feedback! We're so happy to hear that the razor has made such a positive difference for your husband. Skin comfort and a close shave don’t have to be a trade-off, and it's great to know this razor is delivering both. Helping people feel confident and comfortable is what it’s all about. Here's to smooth shaves and happy skin from here on out!
