Ryutaro Sugita: Easy to clean, can shave well, very good for travel too. Using it for a long time now, will buy this one again if needed.

Lawrence Lanum: I've been using cartridges for years, but I always wanted to try a foil razor, so I bought this one. I liked the price and the fact that I could use it in my shower. I also liked being able to pop my own rechargeable batteries into it. I used it several times in the shower, always with bad results. I made many passes over my skin, and still my face felt rough. Finally I decided to try pushing hard with it, and I ended up with a terrible shave, plus my face hurt me. Lesson learned: pushing harder does not work. Not wanting to give up, I researched pre shaves and decided to try Afta. It's a lotion, not a liquid, and I thought it might work better in the shower. I applied the Afta and waited a couple of minutes to let it dry. Then I shaved, making light passes with the razor. I'm not going to lie, I made mutlple passes, but I'd do the same with a cartridge. My shave was fairly quick, my face wasn't sore, and the result was better than acceptable. What impressed me the most was that I didn't work especially hard and I still didn't seem to miss any spots. As they say, your mileage may vary, but for me this razor and a little Afta did the trick.

Final note: I've tried this razor...

ENRIQUE: VA fenomenal. lo mejor es que usa pilas normales AA y eso desde ya lo digo es una grandisima ventaja para una afeitadora de viaje y sin viaje ya que le duran muchisimo las pilas, sin esperas de horas interminables en las cargas.

Jereped: I recently had to start shaving everyday for work because that's my work requirements. Turns out I'm allergic to nickel. I had a beard for 15 years before this job and I would shave sporadically here and there, But when I had to shave every day my allergy got intense and every time I touched my face with a razor blade I'd get a reaction. Took me a long time to figure out it was my razors doing it to me because it wasn't so obvious since my reaction would show up hours after shaving. I finally put 2 and 2 together and started my next challenge, looking for a way to shave with out getting a reaction. Nickel free razors don't really exist. they have titanium ones, but they are just coated and for me the coating wears off too soon and I react anyways. Finally I found this thing and its been a game changer for me. Its CHEAP so I bought 2. The batteries last forever too. Its lightweight, small and waterproof, great for travel. The shave is close enough. I shave every day so I never let my hair get that long so its able to keep up no problem. When I let it get a few days length it does struggle a bit. Its not meant for longer hair. Its meant for short stubble. It's been life changing for...

Xuxion: I usually don't give 1-star reviews or return products, but this time I'll have to. Seeing all the great reviews on how close of a shave it would give, I thought I couldn't go wrong with purchasing one of these just for the convenience as I have been using dollar-store disposables for years for close shaves with no problems; being sanitary, following the natural direction of the hair, and making sure not to over swipe has yet to fail me with skin problems or irritation.

When I used this for the first time on dry facial skin, I was confused because it really wasn't cutting uniformly after about 5 minutes of trying. Although some hairs appeared to have vanished, I still had a very noticeable amount of hairs at least 5mm long hugging the sides of my face, chin and upper lip. Maybe they would go away if I tried going over them from multiple directions? Nope. Maybe trying to flatten out the surface of my skin by stretching it? Nope. Maybe a wet shave would work? Nope. My frustration eventually led me to try putting more pressure on the device against my face. Not only did this not get rid of the outstanding hairs, it really irritated my skin with a burning sensation. I sprayed a...

MDuck: I'm not a big fan of the prior editions of Panasonic travel shavers ... I owned one and it was very anemic, wouldn't shave well at all ... but this current model blows me away, it runs faster and stronger off its batteries than my Braun runs off its (both use AA's). For that matter it runs stronger and better than my standard, home edition Braun. Let me put it up front: I'm a big Braun fan, they have served me well for years, but this inexpensive Panasonic travel sharpener is good enough, for me, for home use. It also has a great shape, great industrial design, did they hire Braun's designer or give someone with a new way of looking at things free reign to innovate? 'cause this is amazingly good looking and strong performing, shocking at $15 (batteries not included!).

Pluses and minuses:

+ Produces high RPM from fresh AA's. (I will add an update when I have used this for a couple of weeks, how long it takes to decline and what it's like towards the end.) Since this is a pretty good shaver, I may try Lithium AA's which are actually cheaper than the more traditional alkalines, if you look at total power available vs. cost (although the initial cost is quite higher)....
