PanasonicElectric Razor for Men, Cordless Wet Dry Lightweight Shaver with Ergonomic Grip, ES3831K, Black

***EDIT AFTER 15 MONTHS***EDIT AFTER 30 MONTHS (SEE BELOW)This is still the best shaver I've ever owned—never irritates my skin, never pinches, and still going strong after 15 months. I use rechargeable batteries, top them up every few days, and the shaver keeps on keeping on. The foil and heads are still in excellent condition. I thought I'd have to chuck this after a year (or less) and buy a new one, which wouldn't be a big deal, since this entire shave costs one-third of what it used to cost just to replace the foil on my old shaver. But no. It's still working like new.***I love this little guy! I have owned many different electric shavers over the years, from Norelco revolving blades to whatever was the latest thing. This little shaver gets the job done.So far, it seems to run for a long, long time on two AAs (I'll update my review if this changes). It was so inexpensive, I'll feel no need to pay good money (over $35) to replace the cutting blade and foil as I had to do every couple of years on my old shaver. When this wears out, I'll chuck the unit and buy a new one.Its biggest fault (but not worth removing a star) is that you really need two hands to turn it on...the push-button-slide arrangement is slick in my dry hands—I can't imagine trying to turn this on with wet or soapy hands. In fact, I can't imagine why you'd want to use this in wet conditions anyway.As some have noted, it does not have a trimmer. That does not bother me, but it's something to be aware of. It doesn't have a cord for recharging...it's batteries only; simple, lightweight, and effective.***EDITI have used this daily for 30 months now. It still performs like new. I have not changed the blade or screen. I have never used it wet, only dry. I use rechargeable batteries.Unfortunately, this has nearly doubled in price, so it is no longer the fantastic bargain that it once was, but it is still a pretty good deal.

Fantastic electric foil shaver!! I bought this and a couple other more expensive brands/types to find out which would give me the closest head shave. This one wins hands down. It's better than the high dollar multi-blade foil razors that are 3 times the price, way better than the skull shaver, and better than a good multi-blade Mach razor. I like my head to be as smooth as a baby's butt.........and this guy can do it quickly. The reason it works so well and shaves so close is that it only has one foil. It's one big flexing foil with a blade that cuts over the full semi-circle, so it cuts no matter which part of the foil the hair comes in contact with. The multi-foil razors only cut over a small angle of the curved foil, so you have to orient them to the changing surface of your skin all the time. This one cuts at any angle.........and the holes in the foil on this razor are BIG.....so your hair easily fits thru and gets cut. It shaves much closer than the skull shaver, and does it quicker and quieter for about $80 bucks less! Compared to the multi-blade Mach-type razor it shaves as close if not closer. How can that be? Simple..........because the foil keeps the blades from contacting your skin you can push the razor into your skin harder than you can a Mach-type with exposed razor blades, which if you use a lot of pressure will cut and nick the heck out of your noggin'. It's also easy to clean and doesn't get hot as you use it. So it's the best performer for a head shave, is cheap, but it isn't rechargeable. I figured that would be a show-stopper, as I didn't want to have to buy AA batteries all the time.........but after reading the reviews that kept mentioning how long the batteries last........I figured I'd give it a try. I've had it about a month now, use it every morning for about 5 minutes......and it runs as strong now as the day I bought it. Really. I don't know how it uses so little energy, but I can see why people claim the batteries last for many months! And lastly.........it's smooth! The motor just hums compared to the other razors, especially the skull shaver, which sounds and vibrates like the motor cost a buck. The only thing I can't comment on is how much the replacement foil and blades are..........this might be one of those things where it's cheaper to just buy a new razor than to replace the foil and blades. I hope not, but we'll see when I get there. Honestly, I expected this cheap electric shaver to probably be a piece of junk........but boy was I wrong. This is the only one I use now, and for the price it just blows the competition away. Incredible!!
