Panasonic Men's Shaver for Traveler ES-RS10-A Blue | DC3V (2 x AA Alkaline) (Japan Model)

I have a goatee and have usually shaved around it once a week. I would plow over the hair with clippers, then use my electric rotary style shaver down to stubble, and lastly wet shave. I decided to buy this foil shaver. I started with a fresh shave and have used this Panasonic alone every morning this week and it only takes 20 seconds to keep everything around my goatee smooth. It is a beautiful little shaver and hasn't caused me any irritation or ingrown hairs. I was getting them before. My skin is smooth enough for me and it is fast and easy enough to use as much as I like.

This thing is built and designed very elegantly, really feels like the peak of 80s/90s Japanese electronic design. Good heft, the battery compartment and blade guard clip firmly with a satisfying click, it makes enough noise to convince you it has power without being chattery or irritating. From the tasteful molded grip lines on the exterior to the safety catch on the power switch the attention to detail and user experience of this little shaver is comparable to a Casio wristwatch; inexpensive but sturdy and reliable.This shaver, however, is not a replacement for a proper shave, the foil design makes it hard to get any decent lines and I do notice it is a little more irritating than my safety razor, despite providing less close of a shave.I use this shaver between actual shaves on my neck, and it keeps stubble from becoming sloppy looking. For the price, convenience, and the legitimate joy that it is to use, it's a 5 star little tool. BUT it isn't a razor, and shouldn't be expected to perform like a real wet shave, especially for those who know how soft and smooth a real shave can be.In short, buy it, and also buy a real razor.

This rating is for this low priced, NOT top of the line, travel shaver. It works well for me, you need to use it every day or 2 or it will be difficult to shave all the whiskers effectively. It's not gonna be a great shave, exactly what would you expect for a $20 shaver? But I like to travel light, and I go camping a lot and this works fine for that. I would not use it if I had a hot date coming up, but it keeps a close enough shave for me. It's small and lightweight, it uses 2 AA batteries which I can find anywhere in the world so it's perfect for me for traveling/camping

The media could not be loaded. This was another really pleasant surprise from China. A great Panasonic shaver, at a very low price. I wanted to touch up where I'd style my beard with a clipper, to get really smooth. Turns out it shaves so smoothly my neck was soft as a baby's ass. This little Panasonic performed as well as my Braun shaver. There's a handy screen cover, it takes a couple of AA batteries. A slide switch for ON/OFF. I've used it for several weeks now with the same batteries and no slowdown. It's also a handsome little square unit. A real value anyway you cut this, quality and very inexpensive. Thanks for the beauty Amazon! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! A real treat.

Started to operate intermittently, then finally quit after 2 weeks. No good. I'm pretty handy and was half way round the world counting on this shaver to work for me. No good. After 2 weeks it stopped working consistently becoming slow and turning off.I changed the batteries, no good; adjusted the battery tabs, no good; tapped, pounded, cleaned, fiddled with the shaver, no good.So sad as I have used similar Panasonic battery razors (ES3831K type formerly made in Japan) for decades with great results, long battery life and reliable operation. This made in Japan shaver? No good.

This portable shaver is a nice placement for my 20 year-old Braun Pocket Go M90 shaver. I would have loved to get another M90 but the most recent reviews indicate that they have changed the foil design so the shaver no longer works as effectively as my old model. I thought I'd give this one a try and was pleasantly surprised and happy that I did.There are several advantages this shaver has over the M90. It is really small! It will fit into a travel toiletry bag very well. Not sure if it's because the blade is new but it shaves cleanly easily. Afterwards I actually feel the slight razor burn that tells me the job is well done. The possible disadvantage is that it is not water proof, or if it is then it's not in the product description. However this is not an issue. The blade snaps off really easily so rinsing it without getting the shaver wet is simple. All in all it's a powerful device that is highly portable and effective.

A long time ago (decades) I had an electric shaver and it never worked really great. Electric shavers at the time were really expensive, and many did not work well, so eventually I started using cartridge shavers. That is a little inconvenient so when out of the corner of my eye I notice Amazon trying to get me to take a look at this, and realizing that my Panasonic purchases have all been pretty good, I bought it to try out.Oh, I was skeptical, even after I used it the first few times. I thought it would jam or break or just stop working, but it works really well.So easy to use, and you don't have to have a towel, shaving cream and stand immobile at a sink getting wet. I keep it on my desktop at home and if I notice my whiskers getting a bit rough I flick it on and run it around my face. It works! And it is very convenient.It is small and light and can use my rechargeable batteries. I love it, especially the price.Rating 5/5

Great power for battery operated. It takes the larger batteries which is awesome. My beard is pretty light, so it's perfect for me. I even bought one for my dad.I don't understand how there can be one negative review honestly. It might eat up batteries pretty soon, but so far so good!(update) I'm using rechargeable batteries now with this and still working excellent!
