Pros & Cons
Pros
Shaver has 3 blades and a'shaving sensor' to help you get a close shave. On the side is a pop up trimmer for shaping your beard or hair. Gives a good clean shave, no nicks so far and easy to operate.
This is my first experience of a panasonic shaver and have to say that i'm quite impressed. Although it’s plastic it feels sturdy and premium. The shaver feels high quality and has a sleek high-tech look.
Battery life seems very good, although i don't have particularly strong stubble, so your mileage may vary depending on how long it takes to shave.
This glides through the stubble without pulling or discomfort. No cuts, pain or irritation after. The head glides easily and i didn't notice any stubble catching uncomfortably in the blades.
This shaver is fantastic. Very pleased with this. Perfect size and shape.
Cons
First and foremost, the amount of pressure this shaver requires to even begin cutting hair is absurd. Save your money, and do yourself a favor by avoiding this product.
Highlights
Quality
It gives a good close shave with minimal irritation and the flexible head allows a comfortable shave that doesn't pull.
It give a good clean shave, no nicks so far and very easy to operate.
I have used this once every 2 days for the last 2 months and it is still going on the charge it was on out of the box!
The main body is made of lightweight plastic coloured in a metallic blue with black.
Price
99, which i think is a little too expensive, and for this it loses a star.
A pricey but effective shaver, my partner has used this to trim his beard and he's been happy with it.
At the time of writing this review the price is £179.
I;n not sure any features could justify this huge price tag for a razor.
Shipping
As usual, the package arrived very quickly from amazon.
Arrived with no charge in it but it didn't take long to charge at all.

It seems expensive but it is made by a reputable company with a good reputation and it should last longer than cheaper brands.
