I had no desire for another expensive Braun shaver with paint and / or motor problems and reminded me of the good shaving performance of Panasonic. So I ordered the flagship ES LV95 with cleaning station. The top model was very well made, excellent cleaning station. Unfortunately, did not seem to tolerate the five blades my sensitive skin. My skin irritation did not go back, I had to return the device.
Then I discovered the the ES-LF-51, which is sometimes available with discount. It is similar from a performance point of something the ES 8249th By design, it resembles the so-called. "People's razor" RF-31 (in terms of performance but then strongly reamed in Vergeich)
Compared to the RF-31 (which the LF51 actually is not really comparable) has the LF51 via Panasonic's excellent linear motor (and is more compact). This brings it to 14,000 vibrations. He has as the RF31 four blades (in the shaving head). It has a lock button that prevents accidental activation when traveling. Attached also are charging cable, oil bottle and a leatherette case, the shaver informed of a two-color (blue / red) Display of the charge state in steps of 20 (the RF31 has not). mention value seems to me also a detailed, multi-lingual instructions, which some other manufacturers gives himself.
I was surprised how pleasant the shaver is easy - no comparison to the Brocken Series. 7
This ease of doing high-quality feel, however, what is important to emphasize, no demolition. The shaver feels absolutely high quality. The rubberized plastic on the side prevents Abruschten during shaving.
Now to the essence: shaving.
I can only say: Brilliant!
Of course, the following impressions are purely subjective, but I want you to hold it because:
- First, the shaving is extremely thoroughly - the face is like a baby's bottom tatsächich.
- Second, the shaving is extremely fast. I have stopped nothing, but compared with Braun Series 7 and Panasonis LV95 I felt recorded a significant speed increase.
- Third, the shaving is extremely gentle on the skin. Actually, the size of the shaving head was supposed to speak for a faster and thus gentler shave - curiously, skin protection at the ES-LF-51 is (four blades in the head) in my skin much better than the LV95 (five blades in the head). Maybe it is because of the shaving head is a little smaller? I have no idea. It should be noted in any case: NO razor bumps. No skin Rötunge. NO bloody cuts. At most, two or three small red pimples after the first application, the volatilized in the course of Anwednungen. Simply brilliant skin protection.
- Fourth, the shaving is very pleasant: This is due to the pleasant feel of the device, because it is very easy and that it is quite fast. In addition, the foil does not get hot and you can hear what you "grates".
The shaver can be easily and conveniently with a Turbo Mode (press Anschalter long) under running water with soap.
All in all I can recommend the device only explicitly: Brilliant shave, high skin protection, quality feel and a excellentes value for money (especially when comparing different manufacturers).
