-With Gel and foam: the layer is too thick for the razor comes to take the bristles to be relatively
short to be razed.
-A Sec: usually very sensitive to dry shaving, I have to say gently used, it's a real treat to shave with this machine, the cut is perfect and very short on the cheeks and mustache, by cons I always go out with patches of hair at the neck, however PANASONIC advice to wait a month for the hair adapts to the new type of cut. What I will do.
Personal background: I've always struggled to shaving level, having a beard hard to feel random shoots. I tried commercial and safety razors with shaving brush and défépil products. With skepticism I retried the adventure of electric (I tested it there's 10 years and it was terrible), but this time with the high-end, and for now I am not disappointed even if it is not perfect, I think there's great potential there.
Edit: After about a month I am still very satisfied with the product, but it is intended primarily to people who shave regularly, the device is not effective with thick and long hair. Shaved closely with practice, I've never been as clean shaven.
