Head is too large to fit under nose. Vibration and noise is low so you can hear whether there are whiskers that are being cut. Charge of battery is good. I like the Arc4 better due to its smaller head size. Also, the handle is the Arc4 is larger so it fits my hand, better. I like the high rate of slices per minute on Panasonics compared with Brauns. I bought an open-box sale so the price is good, especially when compared to buying new blades. Thanks to the eBay seller.

Shaves as well as my 20 year old Norelco right off the bat. They say it gets better as your face adjust to the shaver, so we'll see. One important warning though. It will not work while plugged in. The battery life is about 3 years per the documentation, and is not replaceable. When the battery goes, so does the shaver. The battery on my 20 year old Norelco can still give one decent shave after a full charge. It doesn't matter as it will still work when plugged in. It's probably because it's not a wet or dry model, but it is something to keep in mind

This shave is my third Arc5. They work well for a year or two and then begin to slowly die as the internal components wear and the shaver begins to rattle like a broken Model T. Don't replace the blades because new blades will not restore the shaver to its status quo ante. And for Heaven's sake, be careful. Don't nick the perforated foil surface. 'Tis better to buy a new unit than fix the old one. Think of these shavers as extended-life throw-away items. Don't try to resurrect them. Grit your teeth, scream and move on.

Some wrote the head is big making it difficult to shave under your nose… they must have massive noses! Anyway, this shaves great! I imagine closer than a razor! I have probably a medium amount of facial hair. Before this shaver, I’d shave Friday morning and Monday morning I’d have to use my trimmer to knock down the hair before shaving. I’d get the 5 o’clock shadow by Friday night. I feel like I have the 5 o’clock shadow about noon the next day! Super close shave without a single cut or burn. Mind you, I’ve shaved all my life with a electric shaver so I didn’t have to get used to an electric shaver. Worth every penny!

I have been using Norelco shavers for 50 years. Got a battery powered panasonic travel shaver 10 years ago for motorcycle trips and thought "This $15 shaver seems to work better than my Norelco". Well, my Norelco finally broke, The shaving head that is. And it was only 1 year old. So I decided to try a full sized foil shaver this time. Man oh man! This Panasonic is so soft, cuts thicker or longer hairs in a flash and gets those ones that lay down on your throat that the rotary just could never seem to cut. And, sooo close. Like a baby's butt. And, squirt a little soap on it, put it on clean mode for 20 seconds, rinse and you are ready to go. It's a revelation. I didn't know how bad things were until I got this. I don't know how this will work for you, but personally I am never going back.Read full review
