Customer Reviews of Panasonic ES8249S Men's 4-Blade (Arc 4) Wet/Dry Nanotech Rechargeable Electric Shaver with Vortex Cleaning System, Silver

Customer Review: Amazed
Summary: 5 Stars

I've gone back/forth between using electric and manual razors several times in my life. I've always liked the convenience of the electric razor while I've appreciated the closer shave that you can get with the manual razor. Nowadays, I travel a lot and because of the restrictions on liquids for carry on, electric razors are just so much easier.

I've been a lifetime customer of the Norelco rotary razor having practically one of every new model including up to the latest Philips Norelco arcitec 1090 Men's Shaving System which I reviewed and gave high marks to.

Recently my arcitec stopped charging and so I went back to manual shaving with the best of the best in a manual shave: Gillette Fusion Power Razor, Phantom, 1 Razor. At the same time I went a looking for a replacement of the Arcitec and ran across this razor which had many impressive reviews. I was a bit skeptical because whenever I've tried a foil shaver in the past I've been seriously unimpressed with the performance.

But I decided to give it a shot since I was unhappy with the fact that my Arcitec had died (and I had grown a little unhappy with how the Arcitec never seemed to get my neck shaven all that well no matter how long, what direction or how many passes I made on my neck -- even after replacing the blades). Ordered it Friday and it came Saturday. Took a quick try with it right out of the box (there was enough charge in it) and was happy with the first impression, so I decided to keep it and give it a full whirl in the morning.

Shaved with it the next day and I was blown away by how close it was able to shave. To put it in perspective, when I shave with the Fusion razor, I shave both with and against the grain (e.g. down and then up on the sides of my face) so I can get the closest shave. The Panasonic was at least on a par with the Fusion and totally blew away the Arcitec. Even more amazing it was done with relatively low effort. Shorter than it takes me to shave with the Fusion (and much less messier) and way, way shorter than with the Arcitec (about 1/4 of the time). No signs of skin irritation on my neck (typical with the Arcitec) or my face.

Very, very happy!

Update (1/21/11): I've been using the same blades since I got the shaver and while I was still able to get the close shave I'm happy with, it seemed to be taking more time and more passes. So I decided to replace the blades (Panasonic WES9020PC Combo Replacement Shaver Foil and Blade Set) and wow... major difference... closer, faster shave with much less pressure and work. I'm guessing that this is just how it was when I got the shaver and it's just gotten harder every so slightly over time. I'd estimate that it is probably better to replace the blades on the order of 6 to 8 months of daily shaving (at least for me). Luckily, putting this on Amazon's subscription service also saves you 15% on the price.

I also have to say that I find the self cleaning system unnecessary... Much easier (and cheaper) to just rinse the head in the sink.

Panasonic ES8249S Men's 4-Blade (Arc 4) Wet/Dry Nanotech Rechargeable Electric Shaver with Vortex Cleaning System, Silver

Panasonic's fully loaded men's wet/dry washable electric shavers are packed with smart, innovative features that deliver a remarkably close and comfortable shave. The ES8249S is a four-blade (Arc 4) shaving system, which means more foils for better coverage and reduced shaving time. Also, the hypoallergenic blades and foils cause less irritation and are best for sensitive skin. The Panasonic ES8249S Men's 4-Blade (Arc 4) Wet/Dry Nanotech Rechargeable Electric Shaver with Vortex Cleaning System feature 30-degree-angle Nanotech blades to cut hair at its base for close, accurate precision. The flexible pivoting head allows the shaver to float effortlessly along the contours of your face for a fast shave, especially around your sideburns and the area under your chin.

The fast linear motor eliminates tugging and pulling that can occur with slower shavers. This electric razor maintains peak power right up to the end of the charge, to ensure a consistently close shave. When the shaver's Lithium-Ion battery needs recharging, simply insert the shaver into the automatic cleaning and charging system for a clean, renewed shave.
