Being accustomed to razors in an extremely well-known brand, I do not expect a better shave with this Panasonic, especially for a price 40% lower. And yet ... After over a week of use, I am delighted with this razor. Good grip, much better shave (even on a 3 day beard) and much lower noise my old razor are the main qualities. In addition, rinsing the head directly under the tap is facilitated by opening a small hatch allowing discharge of the water. Also, this shaver comes with a recharging base. Also provided is a head protection can also be used as vertical support. Note that I have not yet had to charge this shaver after 6 days of use.
