I was not the biggest fan of it. It sits in my bathroom drawer. It works ok, but I found a razor worked better.

It works ok. The shave is not as close as the better Braun models. It is a wet/dry model , so it has versatility.

I've had the Panasonic ES8243S (the 4 blade model) to use in the shower every 2-3 days, and only for shaving my head. When initially researching was electric razors are best for shaving your head, Panasonics were usually the ones most people were satisfied with.

It gives a close shave but not better than the multiple blade razors. It takes 2-3 minutes longer perhaps because it takes time to feel comfortable using the single edge. I am satisfied with the shave and especially with the cost savings.

Why buy an electric shaver if you are going to use hot water and shaving cream? The very reason to buy an electric shaver is to avoid having to wash all the gunk off your face. Mine stopped giving a close shave at about the 2 year mark, but replacement blades and foil look like they cost almost as much as a new shaver. First Panasonic product of any kind that i've been truly disappointed in. No, I would not buy again.

I've been using Braun shavers for a few decades and have been happy with them. Because some folks said they really liked the Panny I bought one that I planned to keep in my car. I tried it at home and my face felt like I had shaved with a roll of barbed wire. I then looked at reviews of other full size Panny shavers and the reviews tend to be black or white - some folks love them and some had my experience - there weren't many shades of gray in the reviews. So if you have sensitive skin stay away from Panny shavers. (Note that I have a lot of Panny products I use and like, including 4/3 format DSLR camera lenses designed by Leica that smoke much more expensive Canon and Nikon lenses.)

It is the best razor I have found for my face but it does shave close. Don't know if it would irritate your underarms but using it as a wet shaver would probably prevent that. If you can afford it I would go for it.

Stas-I commented on theese same quality issues of the Braun Shavers back in June 2010. I purchased a Panasonic and have been very pleased with the shave and the cleaning feature. I had been a former loyal Braun user but that's history. I am now sold on Panasonic shavers.

No. I've looked everywhere as I find it the best electric rasor there is and I've been using electric razors since 1965. If you find suitable alternative please email

I have used both the Miele and the Panasonic. I actually own a Panasonic. I could not see much difference between the Miele and the Panasonic as far as how well they cleaned. They look very similar. Perhaps the Miele is heavier than the Panasonic. For the difference in price, I would buy the Panasonic. I really like the one I have.

Don't understand the end of your question. Good shaver. Wish it was cordless

I think it would be easier to use a manuel razor with cold water. This panasonic electric takes me double the amount of time it takes me to shave with a manuel razor. This is the only electric shaver I have used, and I am not sure if amore expensive models cut any better. However, you are right with any shaving (manuel or electric) it is easier to maintain the area as opposed to letting it grow too long. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help.

Remember that new and improved does not necessary mean better, sometimes its a marketing public relations stunt to grab the public's attention. For example, it could mean cheaper ingredients in the package or even a smaller quantity in the package. Manufactures sometimes will keep the package the same size but reduce the contents and mark it new and improved.

I can't tell you which is the best as I haven't tried them all. I'm on my second NORELCO Speed razor in 20 years. I do know that it shaves great, you can go about a month without recharging, and it lasts damn near forever. Can't go wrong buying this razor.

You can use it wet (in the shower of you prefer), with shaving cream (or not), or completely dry. I do feel the more expensive Panasonics do a much better job than this one and charge a lot faster. Sometimes you can even get themon sale close to the price of this one.

The ESLV95 (and the ESLV65, which does not have the cleaning system) does not have Panasonic's new "stubble sensor," which increases or decreases the motor speed based on how thick or thin the whiskers are on your face. It's up to you if it's worth the premium.

I have been using Panasonic wet/dry for the past five years and recommend Panasonic without reservation. I have also owned Norelco and Braun. The wer/dry Panasonics have far outperformed the others.
