Panasonic ES-SL41 Milano Wet and Dry 3-Blade Electric Shaver for Men (Silver)

This is proving a bargain so far. I needed a light and manoeuvrable electric razor after complex surgery. This works very well. It's quite a close cut, long life battery and easy to travel with etc. Comes with a handy charging stand and can be used wet or dry.

The shaver does a reasonable job but to get an acceptable result it is nowhere near the quickest and I'd estimate a third longer than the time for a 'five blade' wet shave. Having said that, it's reasonably quiet and, even taking into account the extended time factor, you can get several day's shaves before needing to recharge it. It has a pop out sideburns trimmer. There is a clip on stand with on/off button guard and a charger with two pin plug. You can use the shaver wet with shaving gel/foam in the shower, rinse it off in running water or use totally dry when you've no sink available and clean with the little brush supplied.It seems to be a little plasticky in build and I would not be surprised if it broke if wet hands dropped it on a tiled bathroom floor. The instructions are a little vague too especially in respect of the charger. While my charger evidently works ok it doesn't exactly perform as briefly described.Remember, It only cost £25 so realistically what can you expect, it works, useful especially when needing a shave without access to sink and gel but not as smooth a chin as a wet shave.

Great little shaver at a very reasonable price, gives a close shave and comfortable to hold, cleaning is a doddle just rinse under running water. The battery holds up for nearly two weeks with my shave time and as with all electric shavers the more time you spend shaving the closer the shave. This gives me a shave as good as my Philips Speed XL which was my previous favourite shaver. The blade cover is very clever allowing you to stand the shaver on its front or top for storage. The led for charging illuminates red when charging but will stay red whilst plugged in, so you have to remember to unplug after the full charge time (mentioned in the instructions). Overall a highly recommended shaver!

Very good - an excellent product - recommended.

My face is so sensitive when it comes to shaving, redness, sore to the touch, raised skin, etc. I really needed to get myself an electric shaver. After a good look around I stumbled on this shaver! The right price, I used Panasonic before so I was glad to see one in my price range. It was an easy decision. It came a few days after predicted delivery, no worry though, I didn't have to make much of an effort as it was my week off and my partner wasn't around for a few days. It come nicely boxed and secure in it's packaging. I found getting it out of its packaging a little bit of a pain! Nothing my trusty rusty scissors couldn't solve though! First impressions: It was a nice hold, felt great in the hand, great design! A precision trimmer on the side for the sideburns, shaping of beard and other... bits and pieces.. (come on don't lie guys). This is the longest test I have done before reviewing, a year and a bit to be precise. So three star I hear you ask... I have a prominent jawline, a not so small nose either. This makes using this shaver a bit a problem. I don't know of many others agree or not but on my jawline the shaver leaves the stubble pretty uneven and rough, same with under my nose and tashe area. I really couldn't get a smooth finish on my jawline and tashe line. I always had to break out my razor to finish it... doesn't that defeat the point a little? I wouldn't say it was a bad purchase as it worked well with the precision shaver! Worked on those pesky stray hairs on the neck, shoulders and back! Pretty useful. Do I still use the shaver on my face? Unfortunately not, it really does leave a noticeable amount of stubble on my jawline, I am back the the wet shaving. Back to the sore and redness. But the precision shaver does get used a lot. Honestly people with prominent jawlines, probably not the shaver for you. It could just be a me problem but it didn't work well for me. The battery life is pretty good to be honest and the hold as I said is excellent! I will probably stick with the wet shave until I give up and grow a massive beard. It hasn't been a waste of money no but for it's purpose, it doesn't suit me! Would I recommend? If you haven't got a jaw for the gods or a larger nose then please do, otherwise not something I could recommend!

Highly recommmended product - excellent battery life, quiet and a close shave.

There are 3 colour styles otherwise all seem to be identical but the prices vary a lot. Amazons lower prices are obviously where the value lies. The shaver will eventually become less efficient due to wearing of the blades and foils but it costs a similar amount to replace these individually than buying a new whole new shaver.There is also a design fault. The cover is excellent and holds well at first but in time the four tiny elevated points that secure the cover start to erode and the cover gets loose and the foils can then be damaged easily. For example if the cover comes off in a bag when you are travelling. Even a tiny bit of damage will render the whole foil useless due painfull snagging of the skin.Replacement foils are available but again you may as well just buy a new one as the prices on Amazon are more or less similar, often less than the replacement foil.Therefore it is great value at the current optimum Amazon prices. It is easy to damage the foils and render it useless, not helped by a design fault.
