Innovative Technology Provides the Best Shave Nanotechnology was used to polish the industry's sharpest 30-degree blades to achieve even better cutting performance. This razor's expanded cutting surface not only provides an efficient shave, but it also spreads the pressure, which naturally occurs when applying the shaver to the skin, so users have found it to perform without the irritation found on lesser models. The fourth finishing blade provides an additional cutting opportunity not found on triple-blade shavers. In addition, the foils and blades on this razor are "arced" so they nestle gently into the skin for our closest shave ever. The foil glides evenly for uniform shaving on all surfaces of the face. Get Great Shaving Results with Ultra Speed At the heart of razor lies Panasonic's patented Linear Motor. It operates at an amazingly fast 13,000 rpm to cut through the thickest of beards. Standard razors operate at a pedestrian 8,000 to 10,000 rpm.  To top it all off, this razor also features wet/dry operation, so you can use it in the convenience of your shower or for dry shaving when you have less time. A liquid crystal display indicates battery charge level by 10 steps and a cleaning reminder. It also comes equipped with a convenient travel case. There is nothing slow about this razor. Even clean-up is at hyper speed. Simply hold the razor under running water and activate the Turbo mode. The razor accelerates up to 17,000 RPM and vibrates off any remaining whiskers.   Panasonic ES3831K Single Blade Travel Shaver Panasonic ES3833S Pro Curve Wet/Dry Travel Shaver with Case Panasonic ES-SA40-K Pro Curve Wet/Dry Shaver Panasonic ES4026NC Pro Curve Rechargeable Double Blade Wet/Dry Men's Shaver Panasonic ES7103K Pro Curve Wet/Dry Triple Head Shaver Panasonic ES7109S Vortex Wet/Dry Triple Blade Shaving System with base Panasonic ES8103S Pro Curve Wet/Dry Rechargeable Linear Pivot Action Shaving System Panasonic ES8109S Vortex Wet/Dry Shaver with Nano Technology and HydraClean System Panasonic ES8243A Arc IV Nano Men's Wet/Dry Rechargeable Shaver Panasonic ES8249K Arc IV Nano Vortex Wet/Dry Rechargeable Shaving System Description Wet/Dry Get an ultra-smooth shave every day, and the convenience of using the shaver wet or dry, rinses clean Hypoallergenic, Stainless Steel Foil and Blades   Floating Heads Floating heads follow facial contours to provide a clean, close, and fast shave Pop-up Trimmer   For mustache and sideburns Vortex HydraClean System               Powerful hygienic cleaning system automatically charge, cleans, and dries shaver Sharpest Blades         Conventional blades only cut at 45-90-degree angles, Nanotech blades cut at 30-degree for a precise cut at first pass Micro Polished Nanotech Blades             The cutting blades are polished with Nano particles to create an exceptionally cutting surface Arc Foil             Revolutionary arc foil nestle against the skin and glides uniformly Linear Motor             Super fast 13,000 RPM linear motor ensures a quick cut eliminating pulling and tugging due to slow motor speed Pivoting Head         Adjustable pivoting head rocks both up and down, and back and forth, following the contours of your face LCD Display         LCD battery status and charge indicator to keep your blade fresh Rechargeable       Dual Voltage           Number of Blades 1 1 1 2 3 3 3 3 4 4   Replacement Outer Foil WES9941P WES9941P WES9941P WES9833P WES9085PC WES9085PC WES9087PC WES9087PC WES9161PC WES9161PC   Replacement Inner Blade WES9942P WES9942P WES9942P WES9850P WES9064PC WES9064PC WES9068PC WES9068PC WES9068PC WES9068PC   Replacement Foil & Blade WES9979P WES9979P WES9979P WES9839P WES9012PC WES9012PC WES9013PC WES9013PC WES9020PC WES9020PC   Cleaning Cartridges           WES035P   WES035P   WES035P

Reviews

I've used this shaver every morning since 5/24/10. Shaving dry with it is a disappointment. Used wet it is a whole 'nother story. You can use it with shaving cream, soapy lather, or just hot water. Whichever, I suggest dousing your face with a washrag and hot water several times to soften the whiskers before shaving. Move the shaver briskly over your face and in 4-5 minutes you should be rewarded with the closest shave you've ever had with an electric razor. I get 8 or 9 shaves to a charge.The only thing about this Panasonic that I find a little inconvenient is that when the shaver is used wet, it (the foil head especially) will collect gunk and requires cleaning fairly often. This is the tradeoff for the close shave. The Norelcos I used for 30+ years (dry) never gave a shave like the Panasonic but were a snap to clean (just blow out the head).

Just used it on four days of neck beard. First thoughts: wow this thing is loud. It emits a high pitched whine. Otherwise, the shave is good. It cuts close and leaves very little irritation, but (on a dry shave at least) didnt pick up every hair exactly. Some hairs I ran the shaver over like ten times and it didn't catch it. Efficient and cheaper than a Braun, but the king of shavers this is not. Temper your excitement people, a step up this may be but don't believe all the hype. Now I personally hate reviews that leave me unsure, so let me say: buy if you need a step up from a Norelco. If you have a Braun you love, save your money.

Shaving has evolved from tedious daily chore into a pleasureable task with this Panasonic wet/dry shaver. I am a 25-year cartridge razor man, after my original Norelco triple-head gave up the ghost gnawing on my tough beard. In the past I tried the first-generation Panasonic wet product only to be sorely disappointed (literally), returning it after a bad case of razor burn. However, the idea of being able to shave in the shower as well as on the go intrigued me and after reading the glowing reviews here on Amazon, I decided to give it a go again. The reviews are spot-on: this is a great shaver and I can get a clean close shave in just a few minutes without making a big mess. However, I've found that if I take a little more time and use some gel or even a little soap, it grooms my face more closely than I get with a regular razor. I get a week of shaves off of a one-hour charge, so I don't even have to pack the AC adapter when I head out on business trips. It takes about a month of consistent use to train your beard to get the best shaves, but you won't want to go back to a cartridge razor once you do. It's a quality product made in Japan (not China) and it performs as advertised. It will be the last shaver you'll ever buy.

Buy the Panasonic ES8243! Why shave over the same area 4 times to get a good shave? This razor really is a BIG step up from others I've owned. After 10 months, I'm looking to buy one for my 16 year old. I rarely write reviews, but this is a great product! Don't compromise on a cheap razor. PRO's + Razor head, not just the blades, adjust to my face. The spring action moves it up and down smoothly. It also swivels side to side, but you can lock it to be stiff. + Cut somewhat long hair going back-to-front on the blades and then a close shave going the normal front-to-back. + Get a grip that fits your hand and has textured, soft plastic to hold when wet. + Shave the back of your neck easily because of all the above. + Best trimmer I've owned on electric razors. It flexes without feeling flimsy. Nice cut too. + Cleaning is much easier than the old rotary razors I had. Hold the power and the head switches to a high vibration for a sonic-like clean with liquid soap and water. Easy to pop the top too. + Switches for power and the trimmer are placed for easy reach with your thumb. + Display tells you how much power is left. + Recharges very quickly and then flashes the display to tell you it's at 100%. Holds charge long enough that I don't take the charger on week-long trips. + Flat design packs easily. + Plug is thin enough to fit something in the plug receptacle next to it. + No pig tail cord that gets caught on itself, just straight wire. CON's - My difficult neck spot still takes more than one pass to cut hair. - The display turns off quickly. Either look at it quickly or read before turning off. - My son wants mine.

Love this Panasonic ES8243A Razor. Used a Norelco razor for years, didn't do that great a job, especially on my neck. The Panasonic cuts my beard as close as a safety razor and very quickly, am extremely satisfied. I recommend this razor for the cut and ease of cleaning.
