Specially designed for close, comfortable results, this portable, precision men's electric travel razor is driven by a durable 8500-rpm motor drive to ensure fast, evenly distributed shaver power. Even on the most sensitive skin types, this shaving machine for men uses floating, hypo-allergenic stainless-steel blade to ensure a safe, non-irritating shave. A floating micro-thin, stainless-steel foil closely traces the individual contours of the face for smooth, even electric razor shaving. This wet dry shaver is fully immersible and 100% washable, too, so it's ideal for shaving dry on the go, or in the shower with or without foam or gel. To clean your travel electric razor, just hold the shaver under warm, running water for a quick, thorough rinsing. A handy shaver maintenance brush is included to loosen and remove stubborn foam, gel and stubble and help keep the razor blade in pristine condition. The Panasonic ES3831K electric shaver less than six ounces and has a comfortable, ergonomic profile that fits naturally in either hand. The travel shaver is powered by two AA alkaline batteries (not included). Review: Excellent Shave and Great Quality! - Solid mesh shaver. It provides a smooth, close shave and is easy and comfortable to use. The build quality feels great, and it does a great job without irritating my skin. It’s reliable, well-designed, and makes my daily grooming routine quick and effortless. Definitely worth the purchase price. Review: Thrilled - First off this is a Travel Shaver and while it can certainly be used for daily use and do a fine job, it is not a $100+ razor. People expecting it to be such for currently less than $15 are simply being naive. If you have whiskers that give even an expensive shaver a workout, don't bother buying a battery operated travel shaver. You are not going to be happy. I'm not trying to be terse here, I'm just trying to keep it real. Now if you want a Travel Shaver that is lightweight, easy to clean, and does a very good shave for at least average whiskers, this is the one. Just don't expect it to be stellar at mowing down 2 or 3 days growth of your then brier patch of a face. Most shavers and especially travel shavers are not designed for this; so don't expect them to excel in this area. I have neither steel wool for whiskers nor peach fuzz. I would, however, guess my whiskers are a little greater than average for being problematic. As a result I normally like to shave with a blade and shaving cream, but I will once or twice a week give my face a break and shave with my full size electric razor. When I travel, however, I like to go as light as possible and decided I wanted a lighter Travel Shaver rather than my full-size electric. I wanted a foil razor (closer shave) and decided on the Panasonic ES3831K. I had a day and half worth of growth when I received it. I began with a splash of Pre-Shave (which is a must for a good electric shave) and started under my neck. I made sure my movement was against the grain and slow enough and light enough for the blades to do their work. I was amazed. While not as fast as my older full-size corded Panasonic ES8249, this shaver was giving me a surprisingly good shave in just a few minutes. Clean up is a breeze. At home I usually rinse the foil and blades under water; apply some foam soap from a pump to the inside of the foil head; reassemble and then run for 20 seconds; disassemble, rinse and let dry for the next use. Easy Peezy. I never use the brush that came with it. Many battery operated razors labor to cut even half a day's growth let alone a full day's. For my beard this is no problem at all for this higher speed shaver. While the Braun M90 has some cool features and one I strongly considered, it's blade speed pales in comparison to the Panasonic; is slightly heavier and more expensive. In the final analysis I thought the most important feature of any travel shaver should be how well it shaves and how long it takes to do it. If it falls short in this area, it really doesn't matter what other features it has. I wanted the best shave possible out of a travel shaver. So I'll end where I started, this is not a $100+ electric shaver, but for less than $15 I couldn't be more thrilled with the convenience and performance of the Panasonic ES3831K. If your expectations fall somewhere in the realm of the realistic, I am confident you will be thrilled too. ## Features - A DURABLE, POWERFUL, COMPACT SHAVER: Men’s electric razor has an 8,500 rpm motor drive to ensure fast, evenly distributed power - SLEEK, ERGONOMIC PROFILE: Shaver fits naturally in either hand for maximum comfort and control - CONFORMS NATURALLY TO THE CONTOURS OF YOUR FACE: Precision-honed stainless steel blade is positioned at an optimum 78-degree angle inside a floating head with an ultra-thin, super-smooth stainless steel foil, for a close, natural shave - WET / DRY AND WASHABLE: Shave with or without shaving cream or gel.

I just bought the Philips Norelco Bodygroomer BG2040/49 - skin friendly, showerproof, body trimmer and shaver for $68.00. I bought it so I could shave my pubes with it. It is fine for getting the hair short, but when it comes time to use the shaver on the pubes, it BITES me, whether I shave wet with cream or dry. But, the Panasonic ES3831K travel shaver (which I've been using on my beard for years) works just great on the Pubes. No bites, no nicks, nothing. Just be careful (as you should). I just bought a second one for my beard, now that I'm using my old one on the pubes. At $14.57 you can't go wrong! P.S. I use this shaver dry on the pubes, not wet. It does just fine! **Q: Panasonic ES3831K vs. Braun M90/M60B? Which is better and why?** A: Panasonic hands down! I've used both for many years and the Braun's are nice but not as 'detail oriented' as Panasonic's...and their screens tend to get damaged easily. **Q: Does this Panasonic Shaver come with any kind of cover for the foil cutting head to protect it when traveling? Thanks** A: It does come with a fairly solid plastic cover for the foil. It stays in place and I always found it to be sufficient when I travel. **Q: Does your electric shaver contain nickel?** A: All of the parts that touch skin are 100% stainless. No nickel. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Shave and Great Quality! *by H***N on October 11, 2026* Solid mesh shaver. It provides a smooth, close shave and is easy and comfortable to use.

It’s good. *by O***Y on July 15, 2025* Well. It’s small, and compact, and all it has is one switch for one speed, and it works on AA batteries. Being as small as it is, it shakes like crazy, the vibration is intense, and since it has no extra head piece attachment with a suspension that moves around and shifts like other more expensive ones, the vibration on the face is intense, especially if you go near the bones in your face you really FEEL it LOL But it shaves well, at least for me. I don’t have thick hair, I shave regularly about every couple days, so for that it works fine. It is definitely very loud. You do have to go over the same area a couple times but that’s the same with most shavers. But dude to its intensity it does bang around the chin a bit and I got a bit chafed there. But not too bad. It’s perfect for travel, because you can just take the batteries out and pack it like that. But it doesn’t have a clipper for the burns so you’ll have to figure that out. But it’s good enough to trim the burns a little bit. For the price, it’s fine. My shaver needed the head piece replaced and it said it was almost $100 just for the head piece, which is why I decided to give this little thing a try. It’ll do for now. ## Frequently Bought Together - Panasonic Electric Razor for Men, Cordless Wet Dry Lightweight Shaver with Ergonomic Grip, ES3831K, Black - Men's Electric Razor Replacement Cutters Outer Foil for Panasonic ES9943 ES3800 ES3830 ES3831 ES3832 ES3833 Men's Shaver Replacement --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1180416-panasonic-electric-razor-for-men-cordless-wet-dry-lightweight-shaver](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1180416-panasonic-electric-razor-for-men-cordless-wet-dry-lightweight-shaver) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-21*
