Panasonic ES-LV65-S803: A ship with consequences

Actually, I'm shaving, like all men, a Custom Type.
There must be certain blades, or a particular manufacturer - point.
So far, I used a device of series 5 of a known manufacturer. All comparisons refer to this device.

The election of a new razor was, however, encouraged by a product test.

It was "A delivery with consequences".

To unpack:
The unboxing went quickly equip.

The 5-blade cutting system, wet / dry washable, Constant Power Shaving, Shaving sensor technogy system was very good, packaged in an attractive box.
The scope of supply, the razor, in a 50's travel bag, a charger, a cleaning brush, a bottle care oil for the machine, a user guide and a warranty document.
Sidenote: good news is that almost all packaging materials that are used in paper.

For instructions:
The German-language instructions are written easy-understandably enough imaged.
Since not all functions of the device are self-explanatory, you should keep handy in the early days.

For device:
The shaving head is twice as large as that of my predecessor device.
A "5-blade cutting system" I had not seen before. Granted, it took a somewhat exaggerated impression, as it should be, but better than anything before it got a chance to my somewhat delicate facial skin type to accomplish his feats.

Weight distribution: The unit is very well balanced.
Unlike the aforementioned predecessor device, it is securely and firmly in his hand. Amazingly, it is in weight even the winner.

Switches and sliders are well placed.
Several features on a switch, a locking ring, locking the shaving head on the trimmer, everything solved beautiful in everything.
The power switch can:
- Turning on the sensor Rasiermodus
- Turning on the classic Rasiermodus - without sensor
- Turn on the cleaning mode
- Switching off the device
Here helps continue the instructions, because it is something necessary to change the usage modes, which brings the device to understand.

The Rasierzeitanzeige white bribe!
Be it to a: to draw shaving = Result comparison, or the obligatory question in the morning: "How much time do I have used I /'ve" which Rasierzeitanzeige is very well done.
Short Rasierpausen where the unit is turned off, are recognized, so that the timer stops and is resumed once again starts. Class!
A power status indicator and a few back-lit symbols to communicate with the users complete the "Panasonic infotainment package" from.

Charging took about an hour.
A very long, robust charging cable knows how to please here.

For functionality:
The first shave was finished after just 2:38 minutes - thanks to the display always verifiable.
If you take more time, the result is better, as the following shaves have shown.

Here, the sensor Shaving Technology System is apparently the reason why already shaved points are not additionally stressed by the system adjusts the rate of vibration of the razor. Great idea - if this system is actually responsible for it and not following a swift Schermesser- and shaving foil structure.

However, you can achieve the opposite and irritate the skin too much, if you constantly traveling over the same spot on your face, because you necessarily even want to "erase" the past stubble with too much of a good thing.
The big shaving is with me here in suspicion ...

The classic hard to reach places, be better achieved than with my predecessor. The Panasonic it however fails to 100%.

Therefore, a few days later was followed by a wet shave.
Convincing "popped" the razor on the face. Feels double speed while shaving.
But who now can not pay attention to a somewhat unpleasant way that machines must always be carried out sensibly.

In no time the neck was freed from the beard and shaving cream. But a little hectic around the neck repositioning had the effect very unpleasant a two-day-lasting irritation of the skin - but partly responsible.
The device in combination with shaving foam - which will be once again practiced vorsichtigt.

Mitlerweile the unit has won a regular place and my predecessor ousted from shaving.

It's more fun to shave it.
It is soft in the dry shaving.
It requires some training, which one is his face but guilty.
The battery time is ok, the cleaning easy.

Am completely satisfied.
