Have used a top end Phillips for ages and before that a Braun but nothing comes close to this shaver for a clean smooth dry shave. Nothing missed and very close without leaving any sensitivity.
Great to hold and easy to clean. I’m blown away.
I I have been using Bronn 5 Series for more than two years, but when I saw Pansonco 5, its has very good reviews everywhere,so i decided to buy it. It’s really deserves it and im very happy working perfectly and very smoothly.
Great razor, prefer panosonic to other electric razors.
I am 71 and have always used electric razors and have found over the years that panosonic razors suit me the best and would not hesitate to recommend them.
Needed to switch to electric from wet due to medical reasons, so many to chose from but had this recommended, got it cheaper on prime day and works fine, not as clean or quick as a wet shave for me but does the job. (If a bit stubbly)
I don’t often write product reviews, and certainly not as frequently as I probably should.
Many years ago I switched to ‘wet shaving’ because no electric razor ever gave a close enough shave. Disability forced me to reconsider, and I recently bought the Panasonic ES-LV67 5-Blade Wet & Dry Electric Shaver For Men because it scored highly in multiple independent reviews.
I recently used it for 17 consecutive days, with just one charge and 60% charge remaining. The razor gives a very close shave, and is competitively priced on Amazon.
Highly recommended.
The Panasonic is far superior to the equivalent Braun. I used to be a wet shave person, but bought both brands shavers to see if I could be enticed to electric shaving. The Braun is rough and does not cut well. The Panasonic is smoother and cuts more first time. The Panasonic is a much much better machine. I have stopped wet shave altogether and wished I had got the Panasonic earlier.
I am so impressed with this shaver – best one I have ever bought
I wet shave most of the time but now with this shaver I do not wet shave so much IT’S THAT GOOD
Excellent Quality well made and looks good
Highly Recommended purchase
Well with the money
Owned ES LV97 which was good but a bit uncomfortable after use for few months. It also had an issue of leaving hairs behind when shaving wet. The new one is a lot better and gives a comfortable close shave. Have tried both went and dry and it’s very comfortable to shave , use it once in 2 days. No regrets about this purchase
The charger is a bit OTT, but as it’s 5V you can buy a simple USB charging cable that’s a bit more portable.
I’m very pleased with mine. It’s not cheap but it’s worth every penny.
I have an extensive collection of DE safety razors and I can get a slightly closer wet shave, but it’s a lot more faffing about.
I’ve had an earlier Panasonic shaver with wash and charge station for many years. This one is a big improvement in many ways. The shave is quicker and closer. I can wash it every day for about a month before having to replace the fluid, as where the previous cartridge-based version only lasted about a week if I didn’t manually remove the stubble first. The new system uses for less single-use plastic, too.
This shaver is great and gives a really close shave. It’s a bit noisy but I can live with that for the close shave. Recommended
Very clean and close shave without irritations or scratches in minutes. I use panasonic wet showers for two decades. My previous one was ga21 – pretty good, out so I thought. It started to die. And new ones were hard to come by. I decided to spend bit more and went with arc 5 series.
And now I can only recommend to myself from the past to make an upgrade much earlier. Strongly recommended!
Having been a lifelong rotary shaver user I was not disappointed with the change. Works well dry and even better wet. Slight concern of the cost of replacement foils / cutters, almost the price I paid for the shaver. I only have a light beard so hopefully with some Care it will be a while before I need to replace any parts. I’m glad I made the switch.
Having lost litres of blood over the years – mostly due to being really bad at shaving (but let’s pin the blame on sensitive skin) – I thought it was time to try an electric shaver.
I selected this one due to its good reviews and it has not disappointed in any way.
Easy to use and clean – also comes with the cleaning/charging station (which you don’t need to use, but good to have).
My face feels really well shaved after using it, so the result is practically indistinguishable from a wet shave – just with (in my case) a lot less blood – none in fact.
Shaver also comes with a travel case, mini cleaning brush, some oil & cleaning fluid – all you need.
Would 100% recommend, reputable brand, quality product, will change your life as it has done mine.
Gives you close shave with no irritation and very much easier to clean. I’ve owned several Electric/Cordless shavers over the years, and this one is definitely the best one I’ve ever owned. Good value for money.
Been using this razor a lot more lately gives a nice shave. Not as close as a wet shave but good enough.
I like the fact that this shaver is not noisy compared to the previous one I had. Gives you close shave with no irritation and very much easier to clean. What a perfect shaver!
For me this shaver was a good buy and it shaves close and leaves smooth shave after. Had panasonic before and made to last. So no doubt this shaver will last me 5 years. Good investment. You pay for what you get in life!
I had a few different brands, and Panasonic is smooth and shaves really well, the 4 shaver hear is a big help
I was fed up with old school wet shaving and continuously cutting myself, so I decided to look into an electric shaver after browsing the Internet for sometime my final decision was to look deeper into this product and its reviews, and to be absolutely honest, I wasn’t disappointed with my purchase, light weight, easy to handle, great battery life, close clean shave leaving face smooth with no remaining stubble, easy to clean and store away and reasonably priced. What isn’t there to like and would happily recommend
Philips changed the ‘foil’ and blade design of the 7000 series shavers which meant mine no longer worked leaving me with bleeding and sore skin. I used a Panasonic years ago and thought I’d give this a shot. The size of the head initially put me off and what difference would 5 blades really make…well to my surprise and relief my daily shave has been transformed! No nics, bleeding or irritation and in half the time, honestly, I could not really believe it. I’m delighted to say the least and I would recommend but cannot yet comment on battery life and replacement cutters and foils are looking a bit pricey but if I get a pain free shave fast, I’ll stick with it.
There is nothing to compare to a wet Razor, however with continually shaving and not a quick 2 minutes, this Panasonic gives a really good result. This shaver does not take long to charge for a good few long shaves. The ability to wash out the razor with an encased battery is a really good idea.
Up to now after many months, I am extremely happy with this product.
Pros
This shaver feels less rough against my skin, especially on the tougher hairs. It’s very smooth and gives a great cut (the closest I’ve ever had). It’s relatively quiet and doesn’t make noisy crunchy noises when cutting the more difficult stubble. Great battery life compared with the other shaver. Smaller more comfortable handle to grip. Great flexibility in the head motion.
Cons
Sounds a bit like a mosquito. Requires a bathroom shaver plug (or the shaver plug adapter) to charge – would have liked a regular plug option or USB. All minor quibbles, really!
Summary
This is a truly great shaver and I would strongly recommend it. I have sensitive skin and this is a quite smooth shave with great results. Fast better than any 5-blade wet shave razor I have used.
This shaver gives a very close shave in a very short time, due to the extremely rapid blade oscillation. However, the down-side to this is a shorter battery life – typically about a week and a half, and a very high-pitched noise from the motor, which I don’t mind, but your neighbours might suspect a mosquito invasion.
My particular unit suffers from periodic additional vibrations, which gives the impression that it will eventually shake itself to pieces.
I have seen some reviews that comment on the fact that the shave experience is quite abrasive on the skin. I did experience a smidgen of redness during the first few shaves, but that soon passed.
Overall, I am impressed with the performance of this model. I particularly like the fact that you can change the head from contour-following to fixed position. The same sliding control also releases the detail trimmer, if pushed all the way. Said detail trimmer is very sharp, unlike my previous Panasonic, which always seemed to snag.
Now, let’s quickly address the obvious. No electric shaver us going to give you as close or as smooth a shave as doing it with a razer.
That’s why I’ve returned all the others I’ve had, as they were really bad shaves. However this one is a really good shave. The semi floating head adds a lot to the shave I believe. And while yes, it does miss some of the fine hairs around the base if the throat, it does really well elsewhere. It does have a fine shaver on the side as well, so getting most of the finer hairs isn’t a huge issue.
As for the running costs of the shaver, it’s about on par with what i spend over a year on normal Gillette razers. So I don’t really have that much of an issue with the costs. Especially since you don’t “need” the cleaning solution.
Overall I’m really happy with this shaver, especially since its half price fir the prime sale
So how does it shave? Closer than the Braun Series 5 ever did (but that is a great shaver, so not knocking it). The neck area needs a bit of going over at the right angle / approach but it shaves very well. Chin and face are shaved very close and very well. Under the nose, it’s only possible to get part of the head to make contact, but this does the trick.
Cleaning takes much longer than with the Braun cleaning and charging stand, but the Panasonic stand is much smaller and uses a detergent, rather than an alcohol base. When I say longer, it’s a lot longer period of cleaning and drying, probably because it’s not alcohol based. The Panasonic shaver also came with a shaving oil, which I never had with the Braun. I’ve used it twice and it doesn’t seem to make a huge difference in terms of shaving quality, but probably does assist with the good and longer functioning of the shaver.
All in all, I’m very happy with this purchase, especially at the significantly discounted price I got it for.
This shaver is great value for money.
My previous 2 shavers have been the Braun series 9 and before that the Braun series 7cc.
The Panasonic definitely gives a closer shave than the series 9 and I would say it’s on par with the series 7cc.
I found the shaving head a little bigger then I was used to at the start but have got used to that very quickly.
This shaver is also noticeably quieter in operation than the Brauns.
Battery life isn’t stellar but it charges quickly.
I do miss the ability to shave while the charger is plugged in which I had with the series 7cc but overall this is an excellent shaver and well with the money. Would definitely recommend.
I must admit I don’t usually use electric/battery razors a lot, but I have a few scars which are difficult to wet shave so they are ideal for that. But I decided to buy this Panasonic because of its price and reputation the company has. So on receiving the razor the first thing I did was give it a full charge to ensure the battery “trained” it lasts well, feels good and is well built. I recieved . it over a month ago but waited to leave a review, it gives a really and I mean really comfortable close shave, not quite up to the best wet razor shave but very close. So if your thinking of getting a battery razor get this one you won’t be disappointed
12 months on and just thought would update on the razor. Using it one morning and it felt rough, looked at the foil and there is a hole in it which has scraped my skin. I have owned a few electric razors over my lifetime and this had never happened before!!! The cost to replace is 43. So cancel my previous recommendation and avoid like the plague
Having quite tough, Desperate-Dan-type stubble, I’ve never, in 50 years of looking, found an electric shaver that would have much impact on this old face. Only by repeatedly shaving the same patch could I ever get any results. But it would never be a particularly close shave and would often cause a shaving rash. So I have always used a wet shaver, with the brilliant Apothecary 87 Shave Cream, whenever I wanted a really close shave.
But, clearly, technology has moved on and at last I’ve found an electric shaver, the Panasonic ES-LV67 Wet and Dry shaver, that works extremely well. If the stubble is long and tough – for me that can be even after just 3 days – I do still have to use my wet shaver. But if I just want to keep one of two days’ beard growth under control, then this is now my go-to tool for the job. In that situation, for comfort, I do like to use Apothecary 87’s excellent shave oil before wet-shaving, but, for an electric shave using this Panasonic shaver, the process is now quicker, easier and causes much less discomfort than any shaver I’ve tried before.
The flip-up detaling blade is great for trimming rogue hairs that – for reasons completely unfathomable to me – now seem to sprout from my ears, and for creating a smooth edge wherever needed. I charged it weeks ago and, though it gets used probably every 2 to 3 days, I still have 60% charge left. I’m impressed.
Most electric shavers won’t give as close a shave as you can get with a decent blade and shave cream but this is the nearest thing I’ve found, for those times when I don’t want to attack my face with sharp things.
It’s not cheap, so it was a gamble when I decided to give it a try. But it’s a gamble that has paid off and I highly recommend this shaver.
1. Shave’s close. I don’t shave every day and two or three days growth with this razor doesn’t seen to be a problem. Can’t see any irritation as it is so smooth over the skin (I have only used dray)
2. Battery Life. Between charges that seems very good. I could take away for a week (or maybe two shaving evet other day) without a need to recharge.
3. Cleaning. Easy to clean under the tap or just with the brush and a blow. I use the cleaning system tow or three times a week just for the extra cleaning and anti-bacterial properties.
Any problems? Well;
1. The item comes with a 2 pin UK plug. That’s fine if you have a bathroom socket. I haven’t so I had to buy an adapter. With everything being USB this day finding one was not that easy (but you can order from Amazon).
2. Initially the razor would not charge. I gave the terminals on the Razor and Charging station a clean and everything then worked ok. You could charge, however not using the Charging station. It does indicate in the Manual that the terminals might need a clean.
3. Quite expensive with the charging/cleaning station but good value from Amazon.
I don’t know yet how often the foil’s will need changing, but compared to the price of Premium blade for wet shavers I don’t see it as that bad. Like wise I don’t know the life of the Lithium battery. I think, from my experience in other devices, the suggested lifespan is somewhat conservative.
Overall, I am amazed at how far Electric shavers have come since my first one.
Hope this helps.
Well I recently used a Braun Series 9 for about 3 weeks, and that’s gone back to Amazon because the shave I was getting wasn’t worth the money. What arrived afterwards was this Panasonic 5 blade, and after just a few uses I can confidently say it will not be getting sent back.
For a start it’s a whopping 100 cheaper at current prices than the cheapest series 9 you should be considering (don’t get one without a cleaning station).
Next and arguably most importantly, it shaves closer than a Series 9 and has no problems getting at awkward hairs, that Series 9 couldn’t get to properly.
It’s so much easier to clean than a Series 9. Couple of taps on the sink, few swipes with the brush, and maybe a rinse under the tap for good measure, and you’re done. With the Braun Series 9 though, you’ve no hope of getting that thing clean without using the cleaning base, and that means using the cleaning solutions etc. Also lugging about a cleaning station that you have to use is not particularly travel friendly. You’ll want to clean that Braun frequently as well, as it cakes up with hair at the drop of a hat. This Panasonic seems to cake up a lot less. Basically the Panasonic is cleaner to use, easier to clean, and more travel friendly.
Minor little thing, but the Panasonic came with a clip on foil guard to protect that expensive foil, the Braun Series 9, did not. Both came with travel cases, but with the cost of the foils on these, a bit of extra protection is hugely welcome.
The Panasonic’s head moves a lot better, and locks more securely as well. For a start the Panasonic head flexes side to side, and has some in and out movement for the entire head, not just back and forwards like the Braun Series 9. When the head tilts as well, the foils stay in place in relation to the head, this means you get the full benefit of the head flexing, whereas on the Braun the foils retract when the head is flexed, making the flex kind of pointless. Additionally when the Panasonic head locks, it locks, it’s not moving, unless you unlock it, whereas on the Braun it just engages some heavy detents, so the head moves still but just needs more force meaning it can occasionally click out of position.
Alright so now I’ve covered the whole Braun Series 9, vs Panasonic 5 blade thing, what about this shaver in it’s own right?
Well I shave my entire head, if it’s not an eye brow, eye lash, or up my nose, it’s getting shaved off.
For me is the biggest challenge of any shaver for me is the neck and chin, the skin is very sensitive there, but the hair there could probably sand wood, with just a day of growth, and I’m really fussy about shaving this area, as it’s unpleasant rubbing your chin and feeling like you’re swiping the rough side of velcro with the back of your hand. Also a smoother shave makes wearing a cloth mask less of a trying experience as well. However for this area with this shaver, it’s hands down the best electric shave I’ve ever had. The 30 degree curve works for you here, effortlessly getting hairs where chin meets neck, and recessed areas around the windpipe where the skin goes inwards. I’ve never had a quicker, closer, or easier underchin shave with an electric razor. I have had marginally better results with standard razor, but not this quickly and easily, and even then only with a brand new fresh blade.
In terms of shaving my head and face, it gives a great silky smooth shave, but the angle of the blades works slightly against you here, as it reduces the shavers contact patch on the flatter parts where there is nothing between skin and skull. This is easy to work around though in those situations by slightly tilting the shaver so you’re using the side of the blades rather the centre. Ordinarily this would mean you’d be shaving for longer, but the shaver does such a good grab of getting hairs on a single pass, you’ll make that time up in reduced repeat strokes. I thought the massive size of the foil head would lead to areas like directly under my nose, or behind my ears being difficult to get to, but I had no issues at all, I think it’s the multiple directions the head flexes in, that make up for the size there.
As for irritation, none at all. As I mentioned my neck and chin, are prone to sensitivity, but except for a very light tingle afterwards that could as much be due to the vibration from the motor, despite the closeness of the shave, there is no soreness or redness at all. This is with no balms, creams, or anything, just a straight up dry shave.
If I had to nit pick anything, and it’s a trivial thing, the noise… the noise this thing makes is horrible. It’s loud and high pitched, and the first time you turn this thing on, you’re most likely going to wince. Pleased to say though, not so bad when actually in use, but still there, still going to quite often be near your ears, and still possibly the least pleasant sounding shaver I’ve ever used, and shavers as a rule are not pleasant sounding things.
I’ve bought a variety of different shavers over the last couple of years, from rotaries to foils, to expensive Skull Shaver Pitbulls, and obviously the Braun Series 9, to cheap and cheerful Sweetlyf, and Surker’s, but out of all them, this is the one that if it got run over by a truck tomorrow, I’d immediately buy another.
