The machine shaved initially very useful, but the blade can quickly after. Even faster is on the battery. After almost half a year to create just such a shave. The then takes always longer because of the quite blunt blades. Next shaving mains operation does not go with this razor. So five minutes "quick charge" and the rest of the beard remove (I do not have particularly strong growth of beard!). The battery meter works even just 3 months or less. After you no longer need it, however, because of the ever-empty battery. This is cheap junk from China and has with the previous quality of Panasonic from Japan nothing in common. Have now again bought Braun (Series 5) and am very satisfied. Although costs almost three times but is 10x better and still made in Germany. If the Brown holds only about 6 years (as expected) I would in time have to buy 12 of these Panasonic Shaving, together around 600 euros would have been! From the plethora of electronic waste to be produced so apart. So save money and spend more on good goods!
