Summary: For $65 bulks, it's really a good deal. Would recommend for those who have regular growing beard. Not recommend for neck hair use. The carring case come with this shaver is really a cheap one. Anyway, for a daily regular shaving, it is a really good choice.

Summary: i bought this shaver after trying a braun cruzer 3... huge difference... the cruzer is all style, no substance. the panasonic is a great shaver, at a great price. a comparable quality and feature-filled shaver on another brand would cost atleast 40 - 50 bucks more. you get a ton of features: wet/dry, pivoting head, independant motion of blades, fast motor, turbo cleaning, etc. decent battery life.

but lets face it, 3 mins per shave is unrealistic. no one shaves in 3 mins. it takes atleast 5. and one minute atleast to clean. so thats 6 mins a shave, so realistically the battery will only last u for 5 - 6 shaves. thankfully, there is a low charge indicator, so it doesnt die on you in the middle of a shave. remember, you cant shave it when it is plugged in, because it is a wet/dry shaver, and no one wants you to electrocute yourself shaving, that would be just silly.

coming to the wet/dry part. i dont get it. i tried shaving wet, it didnt get any better then a dry shave, infact, when the shaver was wet, it slipped against my skin and i had to press harder and consequently more irritation and it took longer... somehow, i prefered to shave dry with it even though the wet shave is supposed to be better. maybe someone will teach me how to shave correctly with a wet electric shaver.

now, the reason i returned this shaver (yes i did, 30 day money back) is because all foil shavers (like this one, or the braun) have an issue with my neck hair. anyone that has their neck hair growing in all sorts of directions better get a rotary shaver.

my new norelco doesnt get as close a shave as the panasonic, but i have only been using it for a couple of days. the difference is barely noticible. but it is helluva lot better on my neck, and its quieter, and has better battery life, and it takes lesser time to shave because i dont have to go over my neck at every possible angle before i get all the hairs down, as i had to do with the panasonic. i will review my norelco after i have used it for a month.

Summary: Best electric razor I've tried and the only one to cut as close as a blade, provided you use it wet with a good shave gel (I prefer King of Shaves AlphaGel). Dry it's just as crappy as every other electric shaver but no worse.
