The razor is a good average in the upper area. Not extremely thorough but adequate. With a 3-5 day beard (medium strong beard) he is also good, with no chirp and tear, cope. So price / quality a smooth 2+. Sorry, there was the part, yesterday, after almost 2 months just shaving, and then never again. So a very fast defect. I then which was immediately ordered replacement already delivered today. The defects is on the way back and I do not expect problems with money back from AMAZON. ------- 29.05.2014 / After 3 months: he's still alive and shaving is still as on the 1st day. (- For me), however, a few very annoying peculiarities are noticed during handling. 1. the charge indicator is on the inside so you can not see them while shaving (in the mirror) 2. The razor just goes off when the battery is empty (others are only slowly) and one does not notice see. 1 3. you can not shave with plugged charging cable on - wait> 1h 1-3 together they can quickly that you may walk with a half-shaved face to the office in the morning time or pressure to get too late. So the 3 points taken together are completely wrong. The senior engineers from Panasonic are probably all beardless whatever reason ;-). I would not buy it again so. No matter how good and cheap or good shave, we price / performance are great. Let them 5 euros cost more but something like this should not be. Now only 2 points from me. If he goes ahead of time (again) broke I sign here. Then he gets junk status.
