Panasonic Arc5 Electric Razor Review

It offers the closest shave of any electric shaver we have reviewed and performs great in either wet or dry conditions.

Panasonic arc5 electric razor review.

Get out the way. The panasonic arc5 es lv65 s is an award winning foil razor with a five blade shaving system and angled blades. The panasonic arc5 is the best alternative to either the braun series 7 or series 9. The arc5 razor is lightweight and the matte black plastic doesn t look or feel very premium however a silver chrome model is also available and the warranty is 2 years.

The chrome plating is very reflective. It is the next generation model of the panasonic arc4 es la93 k our favorite pick for a close shave. The braun shavers may be slightly more comfortable but they can t deliver a closer shave than the arc5. One of the key selling points of the arc line of electric razors is that the blades and foils are bent on a 30 degree angle.

With an msrp of 199 99 the arc5 costs 30 more than the arc4 and does not include a clean and charge station. You can see yourself in the shaver like a mirror. For all my jabs at the panasonic arc5 s build quality i can t deny that it delivers a great shave. Panasonic s arc5 shaver is the second most shiny out of the premium electric shavers first place goes to the braun series 9.

I am not a fan of chrome especially when it comes to bathroom products. I m switching to this electric panasonic arc5 razor after having used another brand s wet dry electric razor for the past 13 years. The curved ultra sharp blades do a lot of the work here.
