Daniel Rodríguez: Hasta ahora tengo casi 3 semanas de usar esta afeitadora. Tengo la Panasonic ARC 5, que es bastante más cara, y una Braun serie 9, que es mucho más cara. Mi barba es gruesa, y crece en diferentes direcciones, por lo que no es fácil de afeitar, y con ninguna me rasura como un rastrillo. Creo que esto es normal. Sin embargo, esta Panasonic ARC 4 no les pide nada a las otras dos, e incluso quizá afeita un poco mejor que las otras (que tienen cuchillas nuevas), y hace MUCHO menos ruido. Por las características de mi barba, la carga sólo me dura para 3 afeitadas (al igual que la ARC 5). La Braun me dura para al menos 5 afeitadas. En resumen, considero que por el precio y el desempeño, la ARC 4 es la mejor opción. Espero que la duración sea adecuada.

Amazon Customer: I have been a Braun user for the past 30 or so years although I tried Norelco and that didn’t work out. I had two of the 7500 series razors and they were both getting old with battery problems and no longer provided a close shave despite purchasing new cutter head and comb. I originally decided to upgrade to a Braun Series 7 Razor with far newer technology and found it to be an expensive failure, at least for me. It gave a bad shave, and it actually irritated my skin. I figured this was due to an aggressive comb in the middle of the head. I also didn’t like the fact that you had to use an expensive accessory you plunge the razor into to clean it. The series 7 was a very unsatisfactory experiment and after several months of unhappy use, the store I bought it from gracefully allowed me return it.
At that point, I began casting about for a replacement razor and revisited the Panasonic line. I had looked at them before and noted they were very pricey in stores, (when they could be found, even more than high-end Braun); however, the ones I looked at on-line were more reasonably priced and the spec’s were good so I ordered a Panasonic ES-LA63-S Arc4 Men's Electric Razor,...

D. Callum: I have very thick facial hair, and shave twice a day if necessary. I'm also very prone to razor burn on my neck, and my hair grows in literally every direction and mostly flat against my skin.

for the past 10 years, I've been using primarily Gillette Fusion blades (proglide, power, etc) with great results. But the blades only last a couple weeks (and I end up using them for a month or more because I'm cheap lol,) so I began using a combo of a Remmington rotary shaver for the bulk of the hair, and the manual razor for the odd ball patches that Rotary shaver wouldn't cut. This worked well for a while, but I still got razor burn, and shaving took ages.

I finally decided that paying $5-$6 per cartridge was dumb, and I was sick of razor burn and spending so much time shaving. I ran out of cartridges and bought a Braun Series 3 foil shaver on recommendation from no one, other than I saw it at Target and needed to shave. It worked... okay. missed pretty much every hair that laid flat and it was a pain to clean. I returned it after 2 shaves and decided to get the Panasonic ES LA6 Arc IV based on hours of internet sleuthing. It took a while to get here (1 day in transit, but...

Caveat Emptor: Update 7/17/17; Update 12/1/12; original review 10/9/10.

Update about 7 years later...

I'm still using this razor, though I've changed the foil and blades a number of times.

At this point the digital display is dead and the razor head is stained with soap/shaving cream that won't come off. But it still works, holds a charge for a long time, and gives a good shave.

After two years I replaced this razor. Could you get more life out of it than two years? Definitely. Why did I replace it?

1. Mold, despite regular cleaning regime.

* After about 18-20 months, this razor started to get black mold on/in the plastic under the foil cover, on the part of the razor where the blades are attached. This part of the razor is a light color plastic, so it could be easily seen. It does not rub off; it is in the plastic and like a stain. I should add this problem emerged even though I ALWAYS took off the foil cover, rinsed the foil cap and blade area of razor after use, and left the two parts out on the counter to dry. I can only imagine that not doing this cleaning routine (a quick rinse and putting it in a drawer) would leave one...
