I have been using electric razors for years due to very sensitive skin & thought I would try something new. The reviews I read online of this Panasonic model were mostly favorable, so I figured I'd give it a try. BAD IDEA!This razor gave me a horrible shave (wet using a soothing lather). I had to keep going over & over the same spot repeatedly, it irritated my skin almost immediately, and it was very loud. I never got a close shave, no matter how many times I went over the same area & so I gave up after about half an hour of trying. My 5-year-old Remington shaver with a used blade gave me a smoother shave than this brand new, never-been-used shaver!
