About Panasonic Arc5 Electric Razor, Men's 5-blade Cordless with shave sensor technology & Wet/Dry Convenience
Overall Feedback:
97% positive
86% were satisfied with the battery life, while 14% weren't
The battery life is mediocre and it doesn't seal the cut hairs in very well.
For travel, my electric razor's battery life is rarely impressive and it dies after a week's worth of shaves.
I noticed a significant decline in battery life during months 5-6.
At a year and a half old, my electric razor's battery life deteriorates rapidly and requires daily charging to make it through a full shave. It holds significantly less charge than when it was new. I even compared it with iPhone battery life.
The battery life is horrible and it dies after 4-5 shaves.
The razor's battery lasts for 3 years if charged every two weeks and cannot be replaced by consumers.
88% highlighted the cleaning and maintenance, but 12% faced issues
Replacing the cleaning fluid and keeping the cleaning device clean is very simple and easier than with the Braun.
The cleaning process only takes 60 seconds.
I suggest avoiding the cleaning station as it breaks eventually. Instead, use a Norelco Jet cleaner (HQ200) or similar and soak the blades and guards in a jar overnight every month or so for a deep clean. This method effectively removes skin oil and other foreign matter from the moving parts.
Daily cleaning for both Philips and Panasonic is similar. However, periodic cleaning is easier with Panasonic as it has only two parts to separate. Philips-Norelco has multiple parts to remove and separate for thorough cleaning, which often leads to mixing them up. Philips claims that each blade and foil are individually ground and matched and warns against mixing them.
My Braun razor is annoying to clean as it does not have a working cleaning system.
83% appreciated its ergonomic design
I find that the 67k has a better grip, slightly faster motor, and a more comfortable shave.
88% found the shaving head flexible, but 12% raised concerns
I have no problems with the wide shaving head following facial contours. Shaving is fast and easy with the option to let the shaving head float or not and to keep the motor speed constant or have it respond to shaving conditions.
I have been using the electric razor to shave my head and it does a great job with three passes, leaving it smooth like a blade shave.
I use the electric razor for head shaving and it plows through my dense hair, leaving a smooth finish.
I switched to an electric shaver after shaving off some skin and it really hurt and bled a lot. This indicates that I was not satisfied with the shaving head flexibility of the electric razor.
The battery life is very good and it lasts for a couple of weeks after a single charge. It is more reliable than my car and less high-maintenance than my last relationship.
The battery life between charges has been reduced.
