Despite several attempts (after wearing the beard for over thirty years) of shaving with a razor I had to give it up due to irritation of the skin almost unbearable and more unsightly by redness and pimples that appear. So I use for two years, shaver Panasonic ES-SL41 Milano I am very satisfied. But the positive and very positive comments on the new Panasonic model, and the results displayed on the various test benches, gave me the urge to offer me. However, I was wondering whether there would really an improvement over my current razor and if the "cost was worth it." Ordered received Monday and yesterday I could test this morning. The first pleasant surprise when receiving the package is that it really is a product "Made in Japan". A little disappointment on opening the box, this model does not have charging base where the rest unlike my current model. We must therefore attach the charger by the end of razor plug and unplug it once it is completed (valid for 7 or 8 shaves). But it is obviously a point of detail. Positive, a small bottle of oil, a brush and a house for transport are provided in the packaging. The razor is very "serious" on the manufacturing level and provides good grip. But the best is when the course starts. Engine noise, with 14 000 turns, looks more like a flying mosquito noise as electric razor while remaining very reasonable in terms of volume. Shaving is very nice, very sweet and, for me, a complete absence of irritation. But it is especially very effective and I recognize that when in some test benches it is claimed that we are, with this razor, very close to the result of a razor that is the truth. I do not make time to shave from the previous model (4-5 min) but the result is incomparable! This is really the top. I think it will be hard to do better in the future in electric shaving. Rest reliability? It is reasonable to think that a product of this brand whose reputation is well established is expected to last over time. The future will tell. In any case for me it is a purchase advisable, especially at the price where it is proposed during the holidays.
