There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
so I bought another just like the first. Charged it first and then shaved a 3 day beard. OH MY GOSH! This is shaving even better than the old original. (and I'd gone through 4 new screens and blades over the years). This is phenomenal!
If you want the best shave, try the Panasonic. 4 or 5 years ago I came from a lifetime of Norelco shaves. The Panasonics are giving me the closest and quickest shaves ever.
OK. It just arrived. First, I restrained myself and gave it a full charge before turning it ON. It took about an hour or so and 100% showed on the display. Splashed a little Lectric Shave on my face and let it dry for 20 seconds. Then turned on the shaver for the first time. It sounds like no other razor I've ever used. I knew that it was going to be different.
I started with my neck. OH MY GOSH! It was like mowing a lawn. I had 2-1/2 days of growth due to Amazon's missing the one-day delivery date. I was saving up a full day (plus) growth for my first Panasonic shave; but ended up with 2-1/2 days.
Just one slow, soft swipe up my neck and over the adam's apple and then tested with the back of my fingers. No doubt, one swipe shaved pretty well . . . almost as well as my Norelco with 3 month old cutting head that was recently cleaned. Then, I continued; shaving my entire face, nose, tops of ears, et al. I have never had such a good shave with an electric razor in my 54 years of shaving! I've been using Norelco for at least the last 50 years with an occasional safety razor when I wanted a really good shave. May never need the safety razor again. The Panasonic is THAT good! I don't know how long the blades/screen lasts, but this first time usage was absolutely remarkable. I'm sitting here feeling of my face after every sentence I type.
My plan is to update this review every so often; or as the shaving quality changes from today's experience. Just like with my Norelcos, I'm planning to buy a new head every 6 or 7 months. But other reviews are stating that a full year or more is more like it. We'll see. But for now, I'm extremely happy.
UPDATE:
I've been using this Panasonic razor for two weeks now, shaving once a day. The indicator shows that it's taking between 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 minutes per shave; for a total of 44 minutes before the first full charge ran out (11-12 days). That's not good. I was expecting at least 2 weeks of shaving bliss before recharging was necessary. But, I charged the razor back to 100% 2 days ago and will reserve judgement over more than one cycle.
The shaving is wonderful. Where I was taking 5 or more minutes for a mediocre shave in my 40+ years of Norelco shavers, this shaver gives a baby-bottom smooth shave in around 4 minutes. There's just no reason to rub it around my face any longer. Especially smooth are the areas above and below my lips. After shaving, I cannot tell where my lips stop and the shaved skin starts. IT'S THAT SMOOTH!
So far, no hairs have escaped a shave. With the Norelco, I would occasionally see that hairs avoided being cut and grew such that they'd never get captured in the rotary head. Trimming would be required to cut the errant hairs back down to where they'd be shaved. But somehow, not a single hair anywhere on my face has needed trimming.
The flexible head shaver is wonderful when it comes to shaving around my nose. The curvature of the shaving surface fits right into the area adjacent to the bottom and sides of the nose and shaves closer than I can get with a razor. Conversely, shaving right up to one's sideburns is not easy. The shaving head is so smooth that it's hard to determine exactly where the shaving action is happening. So for under the sideburns, I use a mirror so I can see what I'm doing. Otherwise, no mirror needed.
So far, my face likes the shaver. I haven't experienced any irritation at all.
Finally, the trimmer is a bit difficult to use accurately. It's hard to tell exactly where the trimmer is when trimming around my ears or nose hairs. I do have a separate trimmer in the bathroom drawer that I'll start using for that. (The Norelco trimmer was the best part of that shaver).
I'll leave another review in a few weeks after experiencing more battery life cycles.
It charges quickly, is quiet and smooth, and shaves very closely with minimal extra passes. The head can float to different positions or be locked to be non-movable. I found it to do an excellent job, and I have a very thick beard. I like the aesthetics of the LV95 compared to the LV97. The handle displays the charge level and the amount of time you used the razor since you had turned it on.
The included cleaning/charging station raises the cost of this package, and is a nice device to have as it wet-cleans, dries, and charges the razor automatically. However, you have to use distilled water and an appropriate shaver "detergent" (Panasonic's, or similar recommended), one pack lasting about 1 month or so, in the cleaning reservoir. It's worth noting, though, that the shaver comes with "manual" instructions that kind of make the cleaning station a luxury- all you have to do is run the shaver under running water with some liquid soap, rinse it, then air-dry it before putting the foil/cover back on, so you don't necessarily need the cleaning station and can save a few bucks. The same cord that connects to the cleaning/recharge station plugs into the base of the razor to recharge it. Note, too, that replacing the foils and cutters is recommended annually/biannually, and those parts together are almost as expensive as the original shaver itself.
Finally, the package includes a leatherette shaver case and one package of the cleaning detergent.
Overall, it's an excellent razor that is fully half the price of its high-end German competition and yet does the job in fine fashion, smoothly, and without pulls or discomfort. It can be used with shaving foam in the shower, wet, or as a typical dry electric razor. Recharge time is only an hour and it holds the charge for a week or longer depending on how often or long you shave. Consider getting the razor without the cleaning station if you want to save money, and be aware of the "hidden costs" associated with it.

So took the plunge and bought the new shaver, very happy with it does everything well. If you have not had a Panasonic shaver before the head is quite big and may take a little time to get used to but works very well.
This model has a good battery in it and lasts far longer than my older model.
He leído varias quejas de que el sensor que anuncia tener no sirve, sin embargo como los cambios los hace en milisegundos yo opino que si debe funcionar, sin embargo como seres humanos seremos incapaces de detectarlo a oído o vista simples.
Muy satisfecho !!!!
