Buyer's remorse
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Given the cost of this device and its stellar reviews, I was expecting much better dry performance. After going only a few days in between shaves it doesn't even cut any of my hairs. At least it also has a trimmer, but that turns the process into shaving two times when even the lowest quality disposable razor blade would very easily be able to handle it in a once over. Even the cheap 30 dollar electric I used to own could handle light stubble To give credit where credit is due, it does provide an exceptionally close shave... when it actually cuts all the hairs I run it over - which has been rare - as I am always left with hairs this thing refuses to cut, even when I thoroughly trim first (see attached image). I am hesitant to include a direct link since the review will likely be hidden or deleted, but I put a video on youtube demonstrating my frustration with this product. If interested, you may search for it by its code 1Rd4Xuq1rng or title "Panasonic Arc 5 doesn't cut hair"

Simple the BEST!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had many elect. razors over the 20 years.

Clean shave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing Shaver. I've owned an older Panasonic shaver model and the blades were wearing off. Decided to try this new version and the experience has been great. Clean and easy shave. The electronic display is nice and modern looking. I probably don't care too much about time spent, but the remaining time can be helpful. The shaver itself is a bit big, but still convenient for traveling. It comes with a case that fits the shaver so it's not bulky. There's a pop up trimmer in the back like other models/ shavers that works as expected. Thumb push to open it is easy to use. Shaver is very easy to clean. You can directly rinse it with water.

A bit pricey but works great..!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This my second Panasonic shaver as opposed to previous Brands like Braun or Phillips. It’s impressive, much like the first & definitley worth it. I chose to write the review a couple of weeks after so far so good. Long batery life, light weight and a wide angle to cover a lot of area. The motor is powerful motor and quite too so that’s nice.

Hypoallergenic Nickel-Free shaver
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off this Shaver, along with ALL of Panasonic’s shavers use Nickel-Free Stainless Steel for both the blades and foils, a huge plus for people with Nickel allergies. Shaver is great and gets a close shave. It does get a little warm after a couple of minutes of use so I’d start with your more sensitive areas first myself. I’d have given it 5-Stars except the pop-up trimmer is so sharp and close that I get really bad burn, so I’d recommend using a different trimmer unless you’re just touching up your sideburns. The build quality is really nice, the shaver is actually made in Japan. The travel lock function for the power button is convenient and the digital display gives it a very modern touch. I’ve only shaved dry with this shaver and I’m happy with the closeness of the shave. Down the road whenever it’s time to buy another electric shaver I’ll definitely be buying another Panasonic thanks to the hypoallergenic stainless steel materials.

Great Electric Shaver
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was going to need a new foil and blades for my Arc 5 that I had purchased several years ago. This current Arc 5 was on sale for just $40 more than the price of a replacement foil and blade. The razor does not disappoint. It provides a good close and smooth shave.

Q: QuestionDoes this work well for shaving your head bald bald?
Asked by Rich.
- A:Answer I believe there are other specialty shavers on the shelves now which would do that job better and easier than this product....which is designed for fast, close face shaving. My opinion.
Answered by Frankie
Q: QuestionShaved and my razor won’t shut off. On off button doesn’t work. Had it about 6 months. Purchased at BestBuy. Any idea what I can do to make it work?
Asked by Meme.
- A:Answer Try the lock/unlock feature. If you're not aware, there's a lock-on/off slide button within the power on/off button. Slide or click it to the left to unlock, I think.

Q: QuestionI was thinking of buying this to replace my old Panasonic Shaver, but wanted to know if it had a charging stand? Also, is it a plug in or wireless charging?
Asked by Del.
- A:Answer It doesn't have a stand and is a wired/plug unit. Having said that, I've owned 2 and my son owns 1. We're both very pleased. It's a great shaver.
Answered by TechinTustin
Q: QuestionDoes the shaver need to be oiled every time it is cleaned with soap? (They recommend cleaning after every use.) The instructions make it look like it does need to be oiled.
Asked by Mark.
- A:Answer It doesn't say you have to, but after each cleaning with soap I do, which is about once every two weeks, since I shave both my head and face daily. I believe the oil increases the life of the blades, which I need to replace every 4-6 months. Happy shaving!

Q: QuestionIs it easy to clean?
Asked by Stuart.
- A:Answer Super easy to clean. Release the two black-colored side clips on the head, lift off the cover/shield, and run hot water over the blades. Lay the razor down and let it air dry. Reassemble and you are good to go. I also rinse the screen to keep it free of small whiskers. I use it everyday, so clean it about once a week.
