Comment:
I have used Panasonic electric shavers for years, after having tried Remington foil shavers and Norelco rotary shavers, both causing irritation, especially for my neck. With regular cleaning that is easily done, I have easily gone over a year with Panasonic shavers without changing the cutters or the heads. I replaced my last Panasonic after the batteries would no longer hold a charge and that was over five years.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I probably kept my old Remington too long but the Panasonic was a very dramatic change. Honestly, every time I've used the razor over the last six months I've said to myself: this is a great razor; why didn't I buy one long ago?. I'm a very happy owner and recommend this razor highly.

Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Beats Norelco and Braun mid-range (price) products. What a surprise it was to have such a close shave after years of using what I now know were sub-standard products.

A month or less
