What customers say about "Key Specs"

Panasonic ES-LV61-A Arc5 Men’s Electric Razor

Can be used wet or dry. With creams or gels, perfect for a shave in the shower as it's 100% waterproof.
Very good trimmer albeit hard to see due to the size of the head - but all electrics seem to have this issue to some degree.
Micro thin foil is pretty amazing - but delicate and easy to tear.
Patented 5 blade cutting system - really does an amazing job.
Pretty decent razor, but after only a couple months of use, plug receptacle is corroding despite it being a wet/dry razor.

Braun Series 9 9290cc Men's Electric Foil Shaver

Fast, comfortable, close shave. It travels well, holds its charge, and the foil has been going strong now a year.
It does give a way better shave then any of the electric razors I’ve ever owned.
This is my first foil shaver and it gets a really close shave on skin compared to norelco. Definitely will not go back after this shaver. Recommended! No razor bumps at all.!
I do not understand how anyone could not like this razor. It gives an easy smooth shave quickly. I have tried rotary & other foil shavers and this is bar far worth the price.
Very satisfied. Quality product and components. Great shave for a thicker beard.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Panasonic ES-LV61-A Arc5 Men’s Electric Razor

The shaver is light, is very comfortable to hold and the head size actually feels good against my head, face and neck.
The Panasonic is light weight, gives a much closer shave than the Braun 799 and a much much more friendly experience than the Norelco 9300.
Perfectly balanced and surprisingly light and quiet - it's form meets function.
Very silent and light. It does the job really good and fast.
This adds to weight and bulk when I travel, which I don’t like.

Braun Series 9 9290cc Men's Electric Foil Shaver

It is compact (which also makes it better for travel), and it feels more solid (probably because of the size/weight ratio).
The travel case is also very compact and an improvement over my previous shaver which would come open in my suitcase.
The shaver is solid and sturdy. It comes in a very nice compact travel pouch with zipper, and a cleaning station complete with a plastic container of cleaning agent.
My husband liked the shaver. He thought it was easy to use as it did not have cords to tangle and the base is compact.
The shaver is larger than the previous Brauns I've owned. For travelling I might consider buying a 2nd, more compact electric.

What customers say about "Control"

Panasonic ES-LV61-A Arc5 Men’s Electric Razor

Control wise the shaver is very simple. It only has one button, the power button.
I get about 2,weeks of shaves from this before it needs a charge.
The charge lasts me seven to eight days. I have found the overall shaving experience with this razor is very comfortable.
Excellent product. The lithium ion battery last for me approximately about 2 weeks with the razor being used every other day.
I like the fact that the indicator states the % power left, so you don't have to guess when to plug it in until its too late.

Braun Series 9 9290cc Men's Electric Foil Shaver

LED display shows actual numbers for last 9 minutes of battery life.
Also, needs cleaning after one time according to the light indicator. That's fine.
LED indicators notify you of cleaning fluid level, and abbreviated information about cleaning status.
The cleaning device has indicators, where none existed before.
The only quirky thing about the shaver is that it indicates that it needs to be cleaned even after only one shave.

What customers say about "Features"

Panasonic ES-LV61-A Arc5 Men’s Electric Razor

Linear motor drive - surpasses rotary and pulse driven razors by miles. It's rapid fire fast and incredibly effective.
Fit and finish is excellent, good ergonomics and modern aesthetics.
Well-balanced, solid feel - good ergonomics.
The ergonomics of this shaver are also good. Compared to several other electric razors I have used, the Panasonic feels good in my hand.
A flexible head that glides smoothly over face, chin and jaw.

Braun Series 9 9290cc Men's Electric Foil Shaver

I've always been weary of foil shavers. this one is nice. I like the cleaning feature. I shave more often now, just because its easier.
I hope the travel case does not damage the foils. Clean and charge works very well also.
The cleaning kit cleaned the razor well, and I believe it is well done.
You do have to replace the alcohol cleaning base every few months, but that isn't much of an issue to me. Overall I enjoyed the cleaning base.
The clean and charge was a big draw with this razor, so it's rather disappointing.
