Customer Reviews of Panasonic ES8043SC Pro-Curve Pivot Action Linear Wet/Dry Shaver, Silver
Customer Review: This was a great razor for $40.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned many different razors in my time. My last razor was a Panasonic ES726. This was a great razor for $40.00. Close and comfortable. But the battery is dying so I went to buy another $40.00 Panasonic. It was one of the basic Pro Curve models. It didn't do as good a job as my ES726. I took it back and got a Braun Cruser3. This razor was terrible! So I took it back and got the Panasonic ES8043SC Pro-Curve Pivot Action Linear Wet/Dry Shaver. After the 1st use I was like, OMG! This razor shaves as close as my ES726 but is even more comfortable!
This razor runs at 13,000 RPM's.
Has a triple blade system.
Wet/Dry shave.
Cleans under water.
Pivot head.
Turbo clean mode.
Cord/Cordless operation.
This razor has everything you could want and it delivers. I highly recommend it

Summary: 5 Stars
I have the identical shaver, the ES8077S. The difference between the two is that this ES8043SC model does not include a cleaning station.
I bought this as a replacement unit for my old Braun 5550, which after a few years of use has finally died.
If you prefer not to purchase the bulky cleaning station (from the ES8077S model), the manual suggests an alternative method to clean -- using liquid soap and water; this would be convenient when on the road!

2) Outer Foil (WES9085PC): $35.00
3) Inner Blades (WES9064PC): $21.95

5) Self-Cleaning Recharger (WES8078H4218): $41.89
6) Detergent Cartridge 3-pack (WES035P): $9.99
Pros:
- The Panasonic Vortex is relatively light, and easy to hold/grip.
- Wet/Dry: One of the main features that won me over. I decided to get this unit instead of the Braun Activator because of this feature. I usually shave right after I take a shower, and my old Braun wouldn't cut cleanly until I fully dried off. First thing I did when I received this unit was to try shaving after a shower -- worked perfectly.
- Speed: For my old shaver, I had to take several passes, and yet still missed stubs here and there. With the Vortex, I was able to shave cleanly in one quick pass. I'm impressed!
- Head Pivots: The head of the shaver adjusts smoothly to the contours of my face.
- Battery: Right out of the box, I used my shaver for about a month before charging!
Cons:
- After my shave, my skin got a bit irritated at first use. After a few uses, my skin was able to adjust.
- Came with a cheap travel bag.

Some reviewers have mentioned the noise of the unit. With any electric shaver, the noise is unavoidable. I didn't find the noise too annoying, though some of you may.
Customer Review: Really good on neck hairs.
Summary: 5 Stars
Good shaver for the money.Shaves as good as braun and doesn't burn face like remington.Really good on neck hairs.Customer Review: Good shaver but I wish you could use the electric cord to shave if the batteries get low.
Summary: 3 Stars
Good shaver but I wish you could use the electric cord to shave if the batteries get low.Customer Review: A minor drawback.
Summary: 5 Stars
It has been three weeks since began using this shaver, and I would never go back to another brand. It shaves clean and close in less time than any I've owned, and its shape and weight makes it comfortable to use.
There is no need for the added-expense cleaning kit, as it cleans itself with soap and water, unlike many other models.
The only complaint I have is with the cheap travel bag, which does not hold the charger. A minor drawback.
