The ARC 5 has changed my life. I'm never going back to blades.
I could kick myself for not going with electric razor sooner. I've been using razor blades for 30 years now and I recieved this panasonic arc 5 as a gift and this has been life changing for me. LIFE CHANGING. How could I be so stupid wasting tons and tons of money on expensive razor blades and handles which dont last and irritate the skin. I wouldn't shave daily because I wanted to make my blades last as long as possible. I also shaved minimal so that there would be less irritation and cutting of skin. Nicks would still happen occasionally. Shaving cream bottle after shaving cream bottle. So much time and money and headache. I never thought an electric razor could shave close. I'm the kind of man who thinks men should be clean shaven so its an important ritual. The panasonic arc 5 cuts as good or even better than my best blades. Japan steel is amazing. Japan makes great products. I'm an advocate of anything made in the USA, In Japan, or Germany. Usually you can't go wrong. High quality engineering. I use my arc 5 daily now, even when I'm actually done shaving I keep on shaving because its so relaxing and therauputic to use. So easy, So gentle. Just like a REAL blade its important to go in different directions to get the perfect shave. Right to left. left to right. downward, upward. angled. pull your skin taut in some areas might help. Exactly the things I do when using a real blade. I do this with my new shaver to acheive perfection. The pop out trimmer works perfectly for sideburns. The cleaning unit is awesome. Once I'm done shaving I dump the shaver in it and it starts charging. The stand is beautiful looking. If I need to clean it , which I do maybe once a week, I push one button and it begins the clean and dry cycle. You just need to setup once with the tiny packet of panasonic soap and some water and it lasts about month before you need to refill with water and another little packet of soap. I now recommend electric shavers to EVERYONE I know. And the shaver I recommend is the arc 5 or the arc 6 along with the cleaning stand. I think battery life is great. Mine never gets low since I have the stand. I couldn't imagine not having the stand. Comes with travel case. A little brush. One or two packets of soap. Oil. Cord. You can lock the head or you can let it pivot freely. There are two arc 5 versions one has more pivotal movements than the other. The arc6 besides having more an additional "blade" array, has additional pivotal movements somehow.

Wow. Dispel the antiquated ideas about the efficacy of an electric razor.
Out of all of the products I’ve purchased this year, this razor leads the pack. I didn’t want to spend 350+ for an electric razor—I have an extremely thick beard, and didn’t want to risk throwing money away since the last time I used an electric razor was back in college in the 80s-/Back then, the razors couldn’t compare with the blades. Well, this breed of electric razors shatters those old memories —this isn’t your dad’s electric shaver. This is a whole new experience, providing exceptional results an extremely close shave (esp in relation to my expectations). Your skin may take some time getting accustomed to this equipment—first few times I shaved, I had some redness/slight irritation—but that’s all gone. High quality, easy to clean, very easy to use, and does what you want it to do. Note—despite the close shave one gets from this big guy, it seems like the hair grows back more quickly than when using a standard blade/shaving cream. A close shave with a razor can get me through 24 hours+. This razor, while remarkable in its ability to closely shave my heavy beard, seems to stimulate more rapid growth—so if I shave before work at 7am, I’d shave again before dinner that night. Worth the investment!! This one is no joke.

Good but a little overpriced
Overall this shaver works very well for cleaning up my early stubble. It sometimes misses hairs on the more curved parts of my jaw, for that reason I’m giving it 4 stars because I think it it could be a little more efficient for a shaver that costs over $200. Pros: • Little to no irritation for my sensitive skin • Cleaning station is very convenient, you can usually get away with swapping the cleaning solution every month. • Can usually clear most of my stubble in 1-2 swipes. • Water resistant so you don’t have to dry shave. • Convenient shape, easy to handle. Cons: • A little inconsistent for contours (Chin and lower jaw). • Replacement blades are a bit expensive (≈$60-$100). • Pretty noisy.

A little noisy due to the power of the shaver but a very good shave.

It's really good machine, i experience different machine on Panasonic was really good but this machine brings you to next level of shaving, highly recommended by me because since more then 15 years im shaving in home and use few types of machine brands, Panasonic and especially this machine is really good.
