There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I wanted to stay with the Panasonic wet/dry shavers to keep at a relative's house I visit regularly so that I do not have to pack it in my carry-on luggage when I travel there. When it comes to airport security, the fewer electronic and mechanical devices you have in your carry-on luggage, the better. So not wanting to spend a lot of money on a razor that I won't use that often, I opted for this one. like my other Panasonic razors, this one has four blades and is also wet/dry capable. It also has a feature I like for travel purposes, and that is a locking mechanism so it cannot accidentally come on while packed in your carry-on luggage.
While the shaver is similar in many respects to my other (more expensive) Panasonic razors, it is also different. Instead of a liquid crystal display for the shaver status there are LED lights that show you the charge status. That is not a problem at all for me since I tend to keep my shavers charged fairly well. But there is some good news and bad news with regard to this shaver compared to my other two more expensive Panasonics. The good news is that it is a lot quieter than the other Panasonic shavers I have. Instead of the high-pitched mosquito-sounding whine, it has a more pleasant and muted throaty lower tone that does not carry very far. The bad news is, the reason it has a lower pitch is because apparently the motor drives the blades a lot slower than the shaver's more expensive cousins that I own. From everything I can tell, the blades of the more expensive Panasonic shavers that I own run a lot faster than this shaver's. But considering the cost of the shaver compared to the others, you know that you have to give up something to get that lower cost.
While the lower drone of the motor is more pleasing early in the morning, if you like to shave quickly, this shaver may have a little more pull on your beard than its faster and more expensive cousins. For me, on travel, a slightly slower shaver speed isn't going to make that much difference to me especially since I will not be using it that often, only when visiting relatives. If I was going to use this shaver everyday, I probably would be a bit irritated by the fact that the blades do not run as fast as the higher end Panasonics that I own. But like their more expensive cousins, it works fine with either dry shaving, using just plain water, or the wonderful shaving cream capability that this shaver allows you to experience.
So based on how I plan to use this shaver, I'm very happy with it and of course love those four blades and wet/dry capability that Panasonic is famous for.
However, because I have two other Panasonic razors that are more powerful and more expensive, and that I am also very happy with, I would definitely choose one of them for my daily shaving needs if I had to choose between the less expensive Panasonic and one of the more expensive ones. As a bonus, both the other shavers have liquid crystal displays that give you more information about the status of the razor, plus an ultrasonic cleaning feature that is marginally useful.
Summary for this razor:
PROS:
>> Low cost
>> Lower pitch sound and quieter than the other Panasonic razors I own
>> No heavier than the other more expensive Panasonic razors (important to travelers)
>> Same four blade system and wet/dry capability as its more expensive cousins
>> Same quick charging capability as the more expensive models
>> A locking mechanism that helps prevent the shaver from coming on accidentally when packed in luggage
>> Like my other Panasonic razors, it has a nice grip and feel and it is easy to hold and use
CONS:
>> Blades appear to run somewhat slower than the more expensive Panasonic razors, possibly causing a bit more pull on one's beard if shaving in a hurry
>> No Liquid Crystal display, which is more of an observation than a huge disadvantage -- that cost savings has to come from somewhere, and for me it is a non-issue, but rather an observation
>> For me, the fact that my other two Panasonic razors can share the same power supply and this one cannot is a bit of a disadvantage. But since it will reside in a another location, that is not a major issue for me.
>> I feel that the tilt and swivel head on the more expensive Panasonic's might be better articulated and superior to the one on this particular razor.
All in all, I think it is a great razor for the money. It is ideal if you want to have Panasonic wet/dry capability at a relative's house you visit regularly but do not want to have to transport it in your luggage while traveling each time. For shaving every day of the week however, I would opt for one of the more powerful Panasonic wet/dry razors. I feel the additional cost would be well worth it for something that you may use for 2 to 4 years or longer.
I'm rating this with four stars only because I feel that the slower speed causes a bit more pull of my beard than the more powerful Panasonic razors. For the money, however, I do believe it's a winner, and would be excellent as an offsite or backup razor to someone who likes the Panasonic shaving system already.
The lower cost model does the better job, and I am a happy camper again.
This shaver states 4 blades, but has truly just 3 blades and gets down to the skin better with the extra blade bringing my hair higher for cutting. I did notice that the shaver is made for overseas as plug needs an adapter for use here, it was included and no trouble with charges.
This shaver has been used for more than a week and the shave is amazing, even my wife likes the feel of my face again. My bread grows way to fast, and this shaver knocks the hairs down and out.
Panasonic (as does any electric shaver manufactuer) states you need 30 days before your face becomes accumlated to the electric razor. Since I already use an electric, and a Panasonic to boot, there was no waiting period to get great results. It takes just a few minutes to get a great shave, better than my ES-7013 was able to do.
I like the travel lock for the on/off switch. More than once I've opened my travel case to find that the ES-7013 was switched to ON, running down my shaver battery. It did offer a quick charge (5 minutes of charging for a 5 minute shave), but that was hard to do if I was on a two day trip and didnt bring my charger! I won't have to worry about that with the ES-RF31.
I got the Panasonic ES-RF31 (and the ES-7013 before that) because it operates wet/dry. I do like using it in the shower, and this is a true wet/dry shaver (not like some other shavers that only let you run the shaving head under running tap water to clean the heads). And I really like the Panasonic because you do NOT need a special base to charge and clean the shaving head, like the Braun. With the Brauns, you are forced to use a special base to charge and clean the shaver, and once the cleaning product runs out, you can't charge the razor! With the Panasonic, just a couple drops of hand soap on the head, turn it on under running water, let it foam up and rinse off. Simple and CHEAP.
The one downfall I've come across so far is the trimmer blade - it doesn't seem to come out far enough from the shaver body for me to make good use out of it. The blade head seems to get in the way. I don't typically use the trimmer on any shaver, but I do like to use it once and awhile.
So, in summary - a great but not perfect shaver. I am very happy and would recommend this to anyone looking to get a solid, wet/dry shaver.
