Long version:
I since one and a half years possess the LT-71 now. He was bought to replace a battery defect because precipitated manganese. Previously, I had tried it with a model of Philips: After that, I looked as if I had shaved for the first time with a conventional wet razors: Loud cuts! From an electric shaver !!
Now for Panasonic Included in the box are the shaver, a power adapter, a cleaning station, a cleaning cartridge, a small bottle of machine oil and a small storage pocket for the razor, if you are even on the road.
The razor fits comfortably in your hand, be 3-fold-stage cutting system (two blade blocks and located therebetween shear system for longer hair) capture the whiskers very good. After thorough shave with the LT-71S arises in me no difference to a wet shave with hand-held blade !! Of course the shave is done not silent, the sound is razor but completely tolerable.
The battery level indicator shows in 20-percent increments how much power you have left in the shaver. The power button can be locked. Very handy, because the razor thus can not turn on automatically something that does my electric toothbrush in case unfortunately regularly.
The shaver is suitable for both a dry and a wet shave. This is even a very useful feature when you basically shaves only dry. You can put it thus namely very easy to clean: Simply remove the shaving head, give some liquid hand soap to the blades, put shaving head, turn on, wait a moment, remove the shaving head, rinse, ready. Then why you need the supplied cleaning station? Actually, not at all. I use them after cleaning under water but still. Firstly, it charges the shaver, on the other hand, the cleaning liquid contained oiling blades and shaving foil (which you would otherwise have to do it manually with the supplied machine oil) and also it dries the shaver in the end also. The oils of the blade is actually something that is necessary for all electric shavers. If the blades are dull rather quickly.
Of course you can also save the cleaning process with liquid soap and place the shaver equal in the cleaning station. At first I have also handled so. However, the whiskers then accumulate in the container with the cleaning fluid, which results in a rather nasty broth for my taste.
For cleaning station: After almost one and a half years she dried the shaver suddenly no longer correct. Amazon has reimbursed with the purchase price, and I was able to order me a new razor. That's what I call service! I was so excited that I ordered then the luxury model of Panasonic, the LV-81st I could have saved me. Although it has four instead of two blade blocks. The two additional but stuck in the shaving head (I find under cleaning aspects solved unhappy). In addition, the shaving head is much more massive than the LT-71 and can not be handled so well. Test, I have two days shaved one each side of the face with the LT-71 and the other with the LV-81. Result: no difference in the shave or shaving. Perhaps recorded at 5-day beards, a gain in time during shaving. With a 1- or 2-day beard at me but no difference was noted.
In addition, the trimmer of the LV-81 is not quite as good as the available of LT-71st And the display of the LV-81 though is contrary to the LT-71 in addition, how long it has been shaved (who needs such a function?), The state of charge is, however, also shown only in 20-percent increments.
In my view, therefore, the clear recommendation: Buy the much cheaper LT-71st More razor you do not need.
