User Reviews
Tried both Braun and Panasonic. Panasonic closer to blade shave. Better around neck and very smooth. -- Better than Braun Series 7
I hate shaving...I would rather mow the yard than shave my face. I used the Norelco 985RX for years...it was slow and required many strokes over the same area...then I bought the Brawn 7526 with the automatic cleaner. Same drill, slow and requiring many trips over the same area...particularly my neck; it requiring up and down and side-way strokes to eventually rid my neck of hair.
So bad was my experience with electric shavers since I started shaving (I am now 64 years old) that I rarely shave on the weekends. On Monday morning I Gillette safety razor it in the shower to rid my weekend hair....because the electric shavers can't handle two days growth.
Enter the Panasonic ES8249 into my world. This week I have been amazed....unlike the Brawn that near required ear plugs so your ears wouldn't be subjected to noise approaching that of a jet engine while trying to shave the side of your face, the buzz is low and very tolerable. The shave is closer than the Brawn or the Norelco and it requires only a second touch-up stroke to make it happen.
By no means does the Panasonic make me want to shave, but the morning 'little tiny hair' removal drill is now quick and relatively noiseless.
The side burn trimmer is on par with the Norelco and the Brawn.......which is very good.
The self cleaning feature of the Panasonic is on line with the Brawn....which is excellent. Although the Panasonic doesn't sound like you have entered a jet engine test cell when it's doing the cleaning....it's relatively quite.
The Brawn is easier to recharge the cleaning feature...one cartridge slides into its little place under the shaving unit takes care of the reload. The Panasonic requires a little container on the back replenished with tap water and a tiny cleaning fluid cartridge placed under the unit. Two steps instead of one.....basically irrelevant.
I paid $149 through Amazon.....well worth it for the many years I anticipate it will provide quiet, effective shaving while preparing for the next shave by self cleaning. -- Finnally !!!!!
I bought this razor after seeing reviews in which the reviewers said it shaves nearly as close as a regular razor. I am a woman who likes to use an electric razor in the winter months when shaving with a regular razor is difficult due to goosebumps. I have been much disappointed with ladies electric razors for not shaving close and for seeming to "run out of steam" after less than a year. It is nearly impossible to even find an electric razor for women. The one bought last summer for me as a gift seems to have noticeably less power already.
I am very pleased with the Panasonic ES8249S Arc IV Nanotech Vortex razor. I have been using the dry shave method daily since purchasing the razor. It gives an unbelievably close shave. My legs are so smooth, you'd think I had used a razor blade. It was a little pricey, but if it lasts, then it will have been worth it. I recommend it to all my women friends. I can't speak for the guys. The cleaner machine is kind of neat, although I wish there was a way to use it without having to keep buying the soap cartridge. -- A good razor for a lady too.
This is the best electric razor so far, but the jury is still out regarding the neck hair shaving. I previously owned Norelco and Braun. -- The best electric shaver so far
First, I do NOT find this to be a 'one pass' shaver. If you want a CLOSE shave, like any other shaver it will take time, stretching the skin and multiple passes. Period.
Plusses:
The shaver is very LIGHT - I would think good for those who are arthritic
The ultra thin foil shaves COMFORTABLY and GENTLY.
No matter how many passes I make, the shave REMAINS gentle.
It is possible to shave CLOSER than my high-end, self-cleaning Braun.
It shaves MORE closely in a single pass.
It is quieter, with a monotone hum at precisely A below Middle C.
The cleaning cartridges, since they are dry, CAN not spill and are more compact to STORE.
Minus:
Noisy when cleaning and the clean/dry cycle, since it uses water and not alcohol, takes longer. Though it doesn't appear necessary to clean daily.
Notes:
I have very sensitive throat skin and a very heavy beard
Using a safety razor on my throat ALWAYS leaves it covered with a thin sheet of blood.
I always use the equivalent of Williams' Lectric Shave.
I never use a shaver in the shower.
I replaced a Braun Pulsonic with this shaver. -- Great shaver
