Panasonic Arc5 Men’s Electric Shaver Wet/Dry

Does it work and is it worth it?

Yes it works great and it may be worth the price for you depending…. For starters, I have a thick beard and a sensitive neck area to the point where many razors and shavers irritate my neck too much to use, and I use this shaver every day. It does a great job, and doesn’t irritate my skin.

This shaver is for people who have a thick beard that want a close shave, (wet or dry). It’s great with sensitive skin, but if you have a light beard, going one model down will save you money and you wont notice the difference, (I used the 4 blade for five years and loved it.)

+ Great, clean, close shave (wet or drv this is about as close to a blade as I’ve been, and I’ve tried most shaver models.)
+ Easy on your sensitive neck, though you must give it a month to get used to it
+ Self cleaner charges and cleans with no thought or effort from you
+ Extra blade cuts through thick beards faster, and a bit more cleanly, even after a few days of stubble growth
+ Charging station is convenient and ensures you have a clean charged shaver every day, saving you time in the morning

Panasonic ES-LV81-K Men’s 5-Blade(ARC5) Shaving System with Nanotech Blades, Black

Panasonic Men’s wet/dry shavers are packed with smart, innovative, features that deliver a remarkably close and comfortable shave. The ES-LV81-K is a 5-blade (arc5) shaving system which means more foils for better coverage and reduced shaving time. In addition, its nanotech blades are honed at an acute 30-degree angle enabling whiskers to be cut more cleanly at the root. The multi-flex active pivoting head allows the shaver glide uniformly over the chin and the jaw line for more efficient coverage and maximum comfort. The 14,000 fast, linear motor drive system eliminates the tugging and pulling that can occur with slower shavers and also maintain peak power right up to the end of the charge. The automatic cleaning/charging system cleanses the shaver with a hygienic, alcohol-free solution while removing stubble and debris. Panasonic’s ES-LV81-K comes equipped with a travel pouch, 10-stage LCD display, switch-lock button and pop-up trimmer. Other optional accessories include: foil (WES9171PC), blade (WES9170PC) and set (WES9030P). Dimensions: 6.3-Inch(h) x 2.8-Inch(w) x 2-Inch(d), 7.1-Ounce .

Three distinct foil patterns work in combo to capture and cut even the most difficult parts of your beard. Lift-Tech Foil

Features reverse-tapered edges that lift and cut beards that lie flat.

Finishing Foil

A specially-shaped finishing foil captures and cuts even the most stubborn beards.

Slit Foil

Fast, Linear Motor Drive
