I travel most of the time, wondering if this shaver is practical: Also, can you take the base station with you when you travel (by car), or will the cleaning solution leak out?

I have the Panasonic ES8228S which is similar to the ES8168. I do not think it is necessary to use the cleaning station; cleaning with liquid soap and water is sufficient. To turn off the LCD image of a spigot if it appears, the Turbo Cleaning Mode must be be used during manual cleaning; this temporarily increases the speed from 13,000 rpm to 17,000 rpm for 20 seconds. (It is turned on by holding down the On/Off switch for about 2-3 seconds.) The cleaning solution will leak out if the base station is tipped. I find the base station very convenient. I go through a Clean/Dry/Charge cycle after each shave. This keeps the lithium-ion battery topped off and the shaver clean and ready to go for the next shave.

This in a Travel Shaver. It a good Shaver for the money but to cut 1 to 2 inch hair spend the money on a hair cutting and trimming kit. This would not be for that.

YES - The cord that plugs into the charging/renew station is used to charge the shaver when you are away.

You certainly can. The same power cord works for the cleaning system and the shaver.

Don't understand the end of your question. Good shaver. Wish it was cordless

There is a small button at the side near the head that releases the head for easy cleaning. It's a ry nice small and functional shaver for travel. I even use it at home.

Yes shaver is waterproof and easy to clean if needed, but the cleaning cycle is very effective. The cleaning unit is not waterproof though and requires cotton swabs to periodically clean everything b

have not tried it, but it gets wet when cleaning it and it's fine -- a great shaver!

On the upper side of the shaver, there is a "trimmer," which flips open and shut. It is pretty neat and effective, even for trimming the stray extended hairs from mustache and goatee. Or wherever. I would still have something sharp to make a clean cut off at the demarkation line if I were heading for a wedding or a job interview. Greetings, JohnW

Have had mine for almost a year so far and no problems other than the fact that the shaver only gives about 5 good shaves before it needs recharging...and yes, I follow proper charging instructions. Other than that, it's great both wet and dry.

It does work while plugged in which is definitely a plus. The battery is also decent. In the box is the shaver, the plug, and a tiny brush from what I remember. It also has a foam case for travel.

I have found it does well in tight places.It is so light you can pick it up and put it where you want IF need be. Shave had mine for a year and have no complaints.

Yes, if it is a "wet" shaver (one that you can use either wet or dry), it is not a problem and I would actually HIGHLY RECCOMMEND it. I've gotten a much better shave using it with my electric than without it.

It's a pretty good shaver . . . noisey and a hell-ov-a-job to replace the heads. Waterproof, I really don't know, rather doubt it. I don't shave wet.

Thanks for the reply. I did buy this shaver five months ago and love it. As you say, leaving it plugged in after a full charge doesn't seem to be a problem. I'm sure there are no issues using it with a cord, but it is more convenient to keep the cord stored until needed for charging. I can shave many times on a single charge.For those of you out there thinking about buying an electric shaver, you can't go wrong with this one.

Yes it can. I have the same razor with the cleaning station and the manual told me that it should be left in the hydrocleaner~charger while not in use. I've had this a while and haven't seem a decrease in battery power over the months due to leaving it in the charger for sometimes days. I just use my shaver every three or four days (I'm the type that doesn't need a close shave 24X7), put it back in the cleaner~charger, and leave it until next time. There isn't a difference between this shaver and mine except for the hydroclean~charger station

You can shave with the cord plugged in, the battery is not replaceable. This is my second Braun's shaver and the battery never has wore out.
