Panasonic Arc5 Men's Electric Razor, 5-Blade,with Premium Clean & Charge Station

Panasonic Arc5 men's electric shavers are packed with smart, innovative features that deliver a remarkably close and comfortable shave. The Panasonic ES-LV81 men's electric razor is a 5-blade shaving system, which means more foils for better coverage and reduced shaving time. In addition, this shaving machine is equipped with 5 nanotech blades that are honed at an acute 30-degree angle enabling whiskers to be cut cleanly at the root. The Multi-Flex active pivoting electric razor head allows the shaver to glide uniformly over the chin and the jaw line for more efficient coverage and maximum comfort. The 14,000 cpm fast, linear motor drive system in the LV-81 eliminates the tugging and pulling that can occur with slower electric shavers and also maintains peak power right up to the end of the charge. The premium automatic cleaning/charging system cleanses this men's shaver with a hygienic, alcohol-free solution while removing stubble and debris. The Panasonic LV81 Arc 5 men’s shaver comes equipped with a travel pouch, 10-stage LCD display, switch-lock button and pop-up trimmer.

Customers like the performance of the electric shaver.

Some say that it works better for them shaving dry and that they've never had any issues with it.

46 customers mention22 positive24 negative

Customers are mixed about the noise of the electric shaver. Some mention that it is significantly quieter than expected, while others say that it's noisier than the Braun 7 760 and much noisier than the Rx1280.

5 Stars
amazing. I wanted to stay with Panasonic because at ...
First off let me say that Ive been using the ES8077 model for about 5 or 6 years. That's an older model of this razor that has been, simply put....amazing. I wanted to stay with Panasonic because at the time i bought that one...it was the best one on the market and I knew i was getting quality. I had read a lot of reviews and im glad I stayed with my brand.The shaver is just as good as thee old one, but better. Its sleek and modern, looks pleasing to thee eye. runs quiet. and holds a charge well. Just as with any electric razor...it takes time to get used to it luckily thats all I use. I have a very thick beard and I have to shave daily. Im 30 yr white male. Italian and German ancestry so you know my hair is thick.This is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. If you let ur hair get too long it wont be able to cut it pleasently. So as with any shaveer. use it daily or every other day. Many of you are probably wondering, as I did, Do you just get the razor...or the one for 50 more bucks that comes with thee cleaner. Get the one that comes with the cleaner. Why? Because when your rushing to work and you dont have time to properly clean the head....you throw it on there. You dont need it...but spend a little bit of money to ensure the product is taken care of. You can do it yourself...but for me...I know im very busy in the morning and sometimes I might forget or just not clean it...so for me this is something I need. Just to keep the shaver in its prime. It looks cool and overall the shaver is awesome, works like a champ and it easy to use. Spend the few extra bucks and get the cleaning station. Again, you dont need it, but it gives you options. If your as busy as me, you will be glad you did. soap and water will clean it as well, and the cartridges you buy to clean it can be cleaned and used every other shave or whenever you like.
