Customers like the quality of the shaver. They mention that it has very fine teeth and does a great job on the side-burns.

The disposables work well the first few times, but invariably let you know when to replace them.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
First off, I am 41 years old and have a course and thick beard. On top of having a tough beard, I was also cursed with very sensitive skin. I get razor burn and ingrown hairs just looking at a Gillette Fusion or Mach 3. I tried using a couple of Remington electrics and a Braun electric back in the 80's and early 90's, but they gave me a terrible shave and were often just as irritating to my skin as a blade. I ultimately gave up on those electrics and went back to using blade.
On the advise of my dermatologist, I stopped using blades altogether in 2007 and bought a Philips Norelco Arcitec 1050 (his recommendation) for close to $150. It was a very cool looking razor (carbon fiber etc.) and, compared to the Remington and Braun electrics I had in the 80's and 90's it gave me a decent shave--nothing great, but passable. I accepted this to be the best I could hope for from an electric and at least it was gentle to my skin. Unfortunately, I still needed 3-4 passes to get an acceptable shave, so my morning shave still took me 20 minutes in the morning and I still had 5 o'clock shadow by 3pm. I also had to supplement with a regular razor for some parts of my chin and neck because the Norelco 1050 just could cut those hairs close--if at all.
By 2014, the 1050's battery was no longer doing well and the head needed to be replaced (I replaced the blades and foils in 2010 and again in 2012--but never the whole head). Since the head would cost $60 and the battery was only lasting half as long as it did when new, I decided I was better off just buying a new razor. Believing the 1050 was the best I could expect from an electric, I stuck with Norelco and "upgraded" to the Philips Norelco 8800. Despite the move from the 2D head on the 1050 to 3D head on the 8800, I didn't see any improvement in the shave quality--it was just as mediocre as before. It also still took me 20 minutes to shave every morning. Nevertheless, if the 8800 had been as "good" as the 1050, I would have been satisfied.
The fact is the new Norelco 8000 series is text book example of over-engineering. Instead of a simple floating head design like the 1050, the 8000 series used a new 3D head (RQ12) which had dozens of tiny pieces just in the blade and foil sections alone. The old 1050 could withstand many drops onto a tile floor, but don't even think about dropping the 8000 series--unless crawling around for parts and putting together complex puzzles. Unfortunately, I went through 2 heads in my first 6 months ($60 a head). Also, with the new 8000 series you can't just replace the blades and foil like you could on the old 1050--you have to buy the entire head. Expect to be spending $60-70 a year on those heads.
In October, I called Norelco to complain about the fragile head design and the customer service rep told me that they had issues with the original head (RQ12), but was pleased to inform me that that Norelco recognized the problem and redesigned the head entirely (now it's the RQ12+). In fact the old head design (RQ12) that I had just purchased had been discontinued. As nice as that sounded, I told the rep that I had already dropped $200 on the razor and another $120 on replacement heads. I didn't think it was fair for Norelco to expect me to spend another $60 or $70 for a fourth head just to get the experience promised. She apologized, but told me should could not exchange the heads for me at no cost. Needless to say, I was not pleased.
Less than a month after that call, the razor started acting up. The blades were running at uneven speeds--and sometimes one blade or another would just stop running. The head also started marking a horrendous grinding sound. am no mechanic, but I know when cheap plastic gears have broken teeth. That was it for me. I was done with Norelco.
About 2 weeks ago, I decided to give the Panasonic ES8243A a shot. After giving it a full charge out of the box, I took it into the shower for a wet shave (just using a little conditioner on my face for lubrication). My first impression: Wow!!!! What have I been missing out on all these years!!!! This Panasonic razor does really cut as close as a blade, even on my neck and chin. No touch ups with a blade required. Best of all, I can get a baby bottom close shave for the first time in my life without razor burn in less than 3 minutes!!!!!! I am in heaven and I only paid $89 for the razor on Amazon (which only $19 more than the head on the Norelco).
I really have no complaints about this razor, but if I had to suggest improvements to Panasonic, I would suggest that they improve the battery life. Even though I am only using the Panasonic for 3-4 minutes a day, the batter is only lasting me 6-8 days before it runs down completely. With the Norelco, I was able to get more than 15-20 days on a full charge using the razor for 15-20 minutes daily (this was the Norelco's one redeeming quality). I can live with charging the razor once a week, but a year from now when this razor needs to be charged every day (or every other day) I won't be so pleased. In addition to improving the battery life, I would also like to see Panasonic provide a nice charging stand (another small plus for the Norelco). Yes, I know the more expensive versions of this Panasonic razor include a charging base that also cleans the head. This, however, requires that you buy special cleaning solution from Panasonic and it doesn't work that well. Auto cleaner or not, you will still need to use a brush and alcohol to clean these blades.
There are all small niggles. This Panasonic razor has given me the best shaving experience of my life. If this razor lasts me more than year without requiring a replacement head etc., I will easily be the best razor I have ever owned and the best $89 I have ever spent.
I have that worst of combinations: a heavy black beard with sensitive skin. Plus, the hairs around my mouth and chin seem to grow at every possible angle. Add to that the fact that I insist on a perfectly smooth shave.
Result: for years I have used a Mach 3 blade for most of my face, generally with one pass with the grain, followed by a pass against the grain. Then a Track 2 blade to trim my sideburns. But I needed a Norelco to shave around my mouth and chin, which took many passes and, worst of all, ultimately irritated the sides of my mouth down to my jawline.
I had stuck with Norelcos for years, after beginning shaving with Remington and Braun foil shavers and finding Norelco to be a great improvement. So I was reluctant to switch, but Norelco quality seems to be going downhill fast. My last few sets of replacement heads felt like cheese graters.
So after reading many, many reviews I decided on this Panasonic, which I bought at a reduced price, less than half of a top of the line Norelco.
I've used it for 2 months now, and can reliably report on its performance, though not on its longterm durability. I haven't needed to use its wet shave option, though being waterproof does make cleaning extremely simple, quick and effective: a little liquid soap, some running water, shift it into Turbo Mode (which it shifts out of automatically; Turbo Mode is for cleaning, not shaving), and without even taking the cover off, it's squeaky clean and shiny again inside.
The shave is as close as the best blade--totally smooth--yet with no cutting or irritation--even shaving dry, and even on the crazy quilt of hairs that surround my mouth. It's just a delight to get a smooth face after only one or at most 2 passes against the grain. And I now have 15 extra minutes every morning: priceless.
Plus, the trimmer is excellent, so I no longer need anything extra to use on my sideburns.
The LED display is also quite good, especially for the price, though it is not quite as good as the LCD on my old top of the line Norelco, which showed "minutes remaining" before recharge. This display gives you a percentage of battery charge remaining, and a prompt when it's time to clean, plus a rather useless bar that is supposed to graph remaining charge but is not helpful whatsoever.
One other minor complaint, that applies to ALL new shavers, even the most expensive: they all seem to only pack 60 minutes worth of battery charge. The last few Norelcos, going back a decade, gave me 99 solid minutes, which usually meant 105 minutes because they ran for 5-6 minutes after reaching 0 percent. What's going on here? I thought battery technology was making leaps lately!
Still, this shaver has literally changed my life. No cuts, no irritation, no need to bring along the Mach 3, the Track 2 and shaving cream when I travel, great, virtually self-cleaning blades, a great trimmer, and best of all, 15 extra minutes every morning when I need them the most. At around $100, any man who shaves and has periodic access to electricity should try it. Do NOT mess around with the models that have the cleaning unit. That is a totally unnecessary waste of money, time, counter space and plastic, especially with a shaver that cleans so well in Turbo Mode with just a little soap and water.

Llevo un par de meses usándola y estoy feliz.
I read a review somewhere that talked about a couple of electric razor and recommended this one mightily so i decided to give it a try!
Not only is the razor 1/3 the price of my old razor (A brown if memory serve), but it's mostly plastic, which makes it much lighter to hold when shaving which make shaving an easier task to do. And thought my old razor was more steel, this one is far better built! And to boot, it is far quieter than my old one. And there is far less vibration too.
The battery seems to be holding up well after a few months. But hey, at 1/3 the price, i don't mind buying another one in 2-3 years, it would still be a much better value than my old one.
Oh and it does shave better! Don't need to oil it, instead you can use soft soap on it and it keeps your skin super smooth! And no shaving cuts that sometimes happened with a pimple or a beard hair at a strange angle. You just use water to clean it. No need for that expensive alcool cleaning machine that does a worse job than water + soft soap. Hahaha!
I have had one of these particular model shavers for over 5 years and its still going strong. I just purchased another this week only because the battery life is starting to slip and I only get maybe 2 fast shaves out of a charge now, or one really good shave. Despite that there's nothing wrong with my old shaver and I could have taken it in to get the batteries replaced but I was just too lazy for that. I like this model because it has the charge LED and you can't get that model in Canada in stores
When my new shaver arrived I was really interested in seeing how the speed compared with my 5 year old model. Surprisingly, despite a few more minor rattles, the old one seemed to still have the same motor speed as the new one.
I was not a huge fan of the floating head but you can fix it in place with the lock button if you prefer a rigid shaver. The foil heads are very strong and I have never had one tear on me, despite taking a lot of abuse. That can;t be said for other shavers I have had. The replacement heads & blades are definitely not cheap but I only bought 2 over the 5 years I had the last one and I probably didn't need the 2nd one.
In 5 years I will probably but another. I hope they are still around!
