First let me start by saying DON’T buy those gimmicky rotary razors with 5+ heads that make all sort of claims about ease of use and closeness of shave. I’ve tried them all - Remington, Pitbull Skull Shaver, Freebird - and they are all garbage. They take forever, do a terrible job, and always leave patches you have to clean up, and dang are they pricey for such a poor product. They suck, period.
This razor is the real deal.
I have extremely sensitive skin so using clippers or cartridge razors always left red blotchy spots on my head for days due to the irritation and took forever to get the close shave and look I wanted. That caused me to wait weeks to shave my head, letting it grow out to shave less frequently and save my skin. I wore hats and beanies way more frequently than I wanted to cover the growth, then the irritation. That’s a thing of the past with this bad boy. I use this every day, every other day, or every 2nd/3rd day depending on my schedule and I can keep the fresh shaved bald look with zero irritation in a matter of 2-3 minutes. And the shave is the closest I’ve ever had from an electric razor, it’s practically at blade shave level.
As a note, this thing *can* handle slightly longer hair but it takes a while to get through it and it isn’t where this thing shines. If you shave your head, the best way to use this is to use clippers or a blade to shave your head once, then use this as your maintenance razor to easily keep your look.
It’s super easy to clean!! Just a few drops of dish soap, a little water, and turn it on until the soap lathers through the blades. Rinse and you’re done!! This is comparable and, in my opinion, superior to Braun’s offerings with a slightly higher initial cost. This is offset by the fact that you don’t have to constantly buy cleaning cartridges for it like Braun requires.
Pros:
-Extremely close shave, very close to a blade
-Long battery life
-Great on sensitive skin, leaves no irritation marks
-Easy to clean
-Ridiculously fast shave if used as a head maintenance razor
-Can be used with or without shave oil/cream
-Excellent razor for my fellow bald kings
Cons:
-Not as great on longer hair
-Slightly higher up front cost but offset by ease of cleaning
-Not mentioned/discussed nearly enough in forums where men are doing the razor hunt
This razor took my head shaving to a whole new level and is worth every penny. If you’re on the fence and this review resonates with your needs, take the plunge, you won’t regret it!
1. The trimmer is just as easy to pop up and use as it was on my older Norelco. However, the teeth that cut the hair are much finer and I've found cut the hair closer and cleaner than the teeth on the trimmer of the Norelco.
2. Being a rotary shaver Norelco is supposed to be moved across the face in a circular motion. In theory this sounds easy enough, but in practice it doesn't feel very natural or easy to do and I've found myself using it more up and down. This is not a problem and from my experience I have found that it doesn't make any noticeable difference to how fast or clean it shaves. It seemed good enough, until I tried the Panasonic Arc5 with its foil shaving head design. The difference is subtle, but definitely an improvement.
- foil shavers perform best when moving up and down along the direction of the way the hair grows, which happens to be much more intuitive and natural to do
- because of the foil design, the skin gets slightly stretched over the foils from the movement up and down, which results in a slightly cleaner shave
- my beard doesn't grow in all areas on my face in one direction, but it is very easy for me to follow the growth direction with the shaver, which results in being able to shave much faster
3. Because of the shape of the active shaving area (foils in a horizontal line vs 3 circles) it is much easier to both control the shave line and achieve a clean shave around areas like sideburns or a desired beard shape.
4. I'm not sure if it's the case with other foil shavers, but Panasonic Arc5 is much easier to wash and clean than a rotary shaver like Norelco. The way the circular blades are held in place on the Norelco makes for a tedious procedure to disassemble and clean, which must be done at least once in a while. It is very easy to drop and damage the blades in the process, and overall it's not one of my favorite things to do. So far the Panasonic Arc5 seems incredibly easy to wash, once the shaving head is removed everything washes out perfectly clean. There is even a short cleaning function that runs the shaver for a short amount of time and helps breaks down build up of any oil residues with some soap.
One concern I have is the durability of the foil and blades. The Norelco that I've used have proven extremely durable and lasting much longer than the one year replacement period suggested by Norelco. The drop in performance is very gradual over time. I will try to come back and update my review after using it for some time and report the long term durability of the foils and blades on the Panasonic Arc5.
EDIT: I have been using the shaver for about 1.5 years now, and I still haven't replaced the foils or the blades. The drop in performance has been so far almost imperceivable. However, most recently I have noticed a little bit of "biting" by the blades when shaving through the denser part of my beard. It is definitely not uncomfortable and it doesn't affect the shaving performance, if anything it probably just makes me slow down my movements a little. I have only noticed this in the last few weeks and I wonder if the drop in performance of this shaver will be less gradual than the Norelco after a certain threshold of wear has been reached. All in all, this is not really an issue however, as a year and a half is more than long enough. The durability and performance over time of the blades and foils was the only concern I had after my initial experience of this shaver, and I'm happy to report that I'm more than happy with it without having to do any replacements. Highly recommended!
