Used it for a month now, lovely design and a smooth shave
I've been using the Panasonic ES-LV67 5-Blade shaver for a month now, having previously used the cheapest Braun model for about three years which had devolved into giving me a rubbish shave. I'd always used Braun shavers, but I'm glad I looked around this time. I read the pro shaver-guys reviews, and found out about this. A nice price, great build quality and looks, and it really does give you a very nice close 'everyday' shave. The head tilts around nicely, and I've had no razor burn or skin reaction. The battery life is currently good. It holds comfortably in the hand, and the vibration isn't enough to make your hand tingle or go numb. It's apparently waterproof (untested by me). The box and instructions were very good. There are a few drawbacks: 1) the head feels big at first, like a 'bar of soap' big and took a week of getting used to; 2) it still has problems doing a good job at the top of the lip (under the nose), and in the corners of the mouth; 3) the charger plug is not British (you'll need an 2-pin to 3-pin adaptor for a standard British wall socket), and at the other end it is 'more than clunky' where it plugs into the bottom of the razor. This end of the charger cable is very tough and awkward to get in and out, which is surprising since the rest of the razor is so well engineered; 4) the power indicator isn't very sensitive at the bottom of the range, you just know "20%" left, and that's it; 5) you have to be careful fitting the head back on after cleaning, or the razor in motion can give a sort of chattering sound - even when everything is definitely properly seated and clipped on. I found giving the two main blade-blocks a little soft flick with a fingernail before refitting the foils worked to get rid of this. Possibly a touch of the lubrication oil (included in the box) would also help with this. Other than these small niggles, at February 2024 it's a good affordable choice to get the job done - a nice smooth clean shave every day, and relatively quickly.

Don't bother with a Braun series 9, get this instead
If you're looking for a premium shaver it always seems like the two that go head are the Braun Series 9 shavers, and the 5 blade Panasonic shavers like this one.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.

Didn’t think a shaver could be this good
I’m a long time (>10 years) devotee of wet shaving with a double edge safety razor and I love the clean comfortable feel that I get from shaving with one. You can’t rush a proper wet shave, though, so I’ve been thinking about adding an electric shaver for quick tidy ups on dark mornings when I’m running late and don’t have time for a proper shave. Something which I could chuck in my hand luggage for a business trip was also important, as you can only have safety razor blades in hold bags.Some research led me to either a higher end Braun or a Panasonic for the best shave. Received wisdom appears to be that a Braun is slightly more comfortable but that Panasonic shaves closer. I figured both would be poor compared with wet shaving so I picked the (much) cheaper Panasonic.Dry shaving performance is ok, gives a decent close shave but also the vague feeling of having sandpapered your face that I remember from youthful experiments with electric shaving. Certainly better than I expected, but nothing remarkable.Used wet, with a shaving oil or a low, slick coating of shave cream, it’s very very good. On the cheeks and chin, the shave is as close as my safety razor, under the chin it struggles a bit more to get the skin baby smooth, but still gives a perfectly acceptable result. Best of all, there’s no irritation. Total time to shave is under 3 minutes.Charges from flat in an hour or so, and battery seems to be on track to last a couple of weeks, so it’ll handle a week away or a business trip without any problem. Comes with a basic but serviceable travel case, and the cover to protect the foils should keep it safe from knocks.It won’t make me give up my safety razor, but it’s a fantastic piece of kit, and I’m very happy with it. Can’t see any reason to cough up for a Braun series 9 when this is half the price.
