Customer Rating:      Summary: What a great buy! Comment: This is the second Panasonic I have bought. The first was for my son and he tossed his Braun shaver away,this one I purchased is a gift for Xmas for my brother because he saw my sons and told me he would get one also because, you can use it in the shower and you can buy new blades if you need to! Definetly THUMBS UP!!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Panasonic ES4025SC Pro Shaver Comment: There is only one thing keeping me from giving this shaver a 5 star rating. The closeness of the shave is not quite like my last Panasonic shaver.
The charge lasts for about three different 7 minute shaves before needing a recharge.
The recharger itself is an excellent design.
Customer Rating:      Summary: have owned all the razors out there....... Comment: I am over 50 and have had all the brand name razors plus ones you only get at the no-name stores. this is good for the price. When I go to the membership/club stores, they carry ONE razor for $139.00.....no electric is worth that. This Panasonic does have a less-than-full blade and groomer across the body of the razor, so more time needed to do the whole job....you know the main advantage of this razor compared to most? You can trim "personal body parts" with it and you won't bleed....take my word for it, that can't be said for most of the others. And if your skin is slightly wet, it won't kill the razor.....take it to the gym, etc.
There are tricks to using an electric, you have to pull the face, to stretch it, to get a good shave as the blade and foil run across, but that becomes second nature.....too bad this brand is difficult to find in the retail stores, but with Amazon, who cares?
Customer Rating:      Summary: A little closer, please! Comment: I have been a razor guy my whole life. I have been wanting to try an electric razor, especially a wet/dry one, for years now. I tried this Panasonic after it received a good rating in Consumer Reports this spring (well, not THIS model, but one nearly like it). I gave it 3 weeks hoping that my face would eventually get used to it. It worked fairly well with shaving cream, but never quite shaved me close enough. My beard grows flat on my face, making it hard for the razor to pick up and shave. Several times I would look in the mirror and see a single hair that didn't get cut at all. In the end I wound up putting it in the drawer and pulling out the old trusty razor.
On the one hand I don't feel bad because it was not too expensive to experiment with, but somehow I think that if I had bought a more expensive brand I would have had better results.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good shaver for the price Comment: This is the third one of these I've bought. The motor, trimmer and charger last just fine, but the blades and outer foil need to be replaced before 9 months has passed. The reason I keep going back for an entire shaver is that replacing just the blades and outer foil would cost about $35, while I can get the entire shaver for under $30 every time. I may try changing just the blades this time (around $15 online vendors) and seeing if the outer foil holds up. That would extend the life of the shaver a good bit, but for $30 every 9 months or so it's a cheap enough deal, works just fine and does the job.
