The first 3 shaves were pretty good but now slowly I can see that it takes lot more effort for a clean shave. Even with fullly charge, I can get only many be 5 shaves before it runs out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I needed a dry shaver I could use every other day on my head and I'm very pleased with the ARC5. Razor close shave in 1/2 the time and no mess!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had a Panasonic shaver for over 15 years… It was great… But lately, I feel like they have tried to squeeze more and more shaver heads into each one… The one that I just got that I am reviewing now is absolutely huge… I like to have some scruff so I use it mailing to shave my neck and the top of my cheeks, and it’s almost too large to do that… Crazy…
For the actual shave, I would rate it a seven out of 10 compared to my old one…
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi James! Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We appreciate hearing about your long experience with our shavers and your honest comments on the size and shaving experience of this model. It’s helpful to understand how the larger head design may feel less suited to more precise touch-up use, especially compared with an older unit you’ve used for many years.

I used this to shave my beard and mustache, it doesn't not give a clean shave. After using this shaver I have to relayed on traditional manual shaver to completed the job. Overall, wish I never picked this up. Better stick to manual shaver with 4 blade or something like that.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thought this updated model would be better than my old Braun, but it is kinda flimsy and doesn't shave as close. Really disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
