5.0 out of 5 stars Small but does the job.

Top marks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still not the best portable beard trimmer if you apply foam while shaving

V.k. · 19 February 2025

I'm an Indian and have thick hair (beard) but I always like to keep it clean shaven every three days. Let me tell you this portable shaver is no where close to the big ones. I am a huge fan of panasonic, have another larger panasonic shaver for beard and that does the job whether you shave your beard or clean shave your head. After comparing both of them, the portable version is only good if you are travelling and you don't want to carry the huge shaver. It will do the job but you have to repeatedly shave several times for it to cut your beard without missing few patches which doesn't happen with my long shaver. However the portable version is good if you are bald and want a clean shaven head, this is good as the blades are really sharp and will give you a nice clean shave on your head but without applying foam but can't say the same for my beard as it takes much longer and misses few hair patches if you are applying foam while shaving which is a bit disappointing as when you can clean shave your head why can't it do the same with foam on beard. This shows there's clearly a disadvantage over its bigger shavers. I feel it's definitely priced more for what it does compared to the bigger versions for the same price. I'm going to keep it as I wanted a portable version for my head and it's useful as I like to clean shave my head every alternate day, that's the only reason I'm keeping this, definitely not for my beard as you might lose patience if you are used to the bigger versions as this takes lot more time and effort. Hope this helps for people like me who want this for beard and head.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant shave

An incredibly small shaver but with a full sized head and huge power. I was sceptical but this is genuinely the best electric shaver I have had. It charges quickly and gives a very smooth shave even on the awkward (for me at least) neck area. Seems very well built and is so portable...and if you are a person who needs a top up shave during the day this is certainly for you.Not cheap, but worth every penny

I bought this after using another travel shaver that started to fail after 1 year. I have had Panasonic before and it was superb. This is one of the best travel shavers I have ever had. Easy to use quick and a superb shave. In bot hFoam and oil.Would strongly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it will shave your head

So if you're like me, wondering if this foil shaver is big enough to shave your head - the answer is yes.But, it does take longer than those with wider blades. If you're looking for a skin shave similar to that of a razor blade, this will do it.Its biggest advantage is size, half of all other compact shavers and USB C! It's also very gentle and won't snag or cut your skin. It also doesn't make a mess and fling hairs all over your bathroom, they mostly collect inside the casing that are washed out once you're done.I would give this 4.5 / 5 simply because it doesn't do a great job of shaving under the jaw area where the angle is very sharp, I find that using a traditional razor is easier and quicker. But for shaving the head, this is probably the best shaver on the market - just expect to spend 1/3 time longer to really get a good coverage. Not an issue for me, because of all the other areas it absolutely excels in.

Wonderful shaverWorks really goodNo issuesThey should have added cleaner + charger for that price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very impressed so far

A.J. · 31 July 2025

I have had a Panasonic razor prior to this and it was one of the best I have had, having previously tried braun, Phillips, Remmington and others over many years. My previous Panasonic is about 10 years old now so i thought it was time for a replacement. I liked the form factor of this one and the USB C charging port. So far I have been very impressed with the results that this razor has delivered and have no regrets in buying it. Yes it is expensive but if it lasts as well as my other Panasonic then I think that it is a price worth paying.

An electric shaver that is about the size of a plum, but with the processing power that exceeds the stuff that put men on the moon. It takes a bit of getting used to, and on this occasion only, I suggest you read the instructions. How good is it? It depends on what you want it to do and how miserably wrinkled and old your face is. The 'mode' I have had the most success with is the wet mode. You press the on button for two seconds. You hold in the palm of your hand an equal mix of water and liquid soap. In my case, I use pure castile liquid soap that was previously mixed with essential oils. You then let the shaver mix up the soap in the palm of your hand. You get a kind of foam. The shaver does the rest. Doing it this way is pain free and fairly efficient, except that it can miss rogue hairs. I have a spot under my nose that it cannot reach, and short of growing a Hitler moustache there is no way around it, other than using the old faithful Gillette. I have undulations, moles and the kind of skin that Keith Richards has. It copes with the mole, a kind of Roger Moore mole, and for the first time I am free of causing a medical emergency. In all, this shaver is fun to use and dead easy once you get the hang of it. Perfect for travel, but it does have a lithium ion battery, which means cabin baggage only. It does not do the job of my Mach3, but then again, it is a pleasure to use and a very safe one at that. I love it. If it could combine a blade that dealt with 'difficult to reach' bits of my face, then I would give it five stars.
