Panasonic Close Curves ES 2206AC

I previously had a Panasonic (that just died after 15 years!), so being familiar with this brand I wasn't hesitant at all to re-purchase a similar shaver. I'm so glad I went with a rechargeable (other one… was battery operated). This is the best shaver...the two rotating heads are pretty amazing how they move along the skin (like over your knees). And to recharge it is super easy! I'm very, very happy with this and would recommend to anyone (especially for the price!)

The other day I decided to purchase this razor out of pure desperation since where I live we've had a water ban for the past 3 weeks since our water has been contaminated and I've been unable to shave. My… only regret with this purchase is that I didn't buy it sooner! I should have bought something like this years ago. I just received my razor today and let me just tell you that it's wonderful--I was able to get as close a shave with it as a I able to get with a bade and without any irritation, which feels so absolutely nice. It was also easy to shave around my knees, which I had found to be difficult with another electric razor that I've had years ago. According to the package the razor is hypo allergenic for sensitive skin, which is a total plus and there was a sticker on the box saying that it was a Consumers Digest Best Buy, and after using it I can definitely see why. The razor comes with a charger that plugs into the wall and the razor sits on top of that. It needs to be charged for 8 hours prior to the first use. According to the booklet, 1 charge should last you all week, which is nice. If you don't use the razor on a regular basis, the booklet says that you should charge it at least once every 6 months to preserve the battery life. On the package in small print, it also recommends that the outer foil is replaced at least once a year and that the inner blade is replaced at least once every two years. I don't know how much those cost, but in the long run it's gotta be cheaper than buying razor blades--those things are just too expensive. Overall, this razor seems like a great product and it has a great price. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who asked me about it.

I got this razor because I found myself taking 20 minute showers when 5 minute showers would do - shaving in the shower takes way too long and uses up way too much water and electricity. I figured that a… cheap electric razor would save me some money and make me feel less awful about using up resources. This one certainly does the trick - I have had it for a few weeks and have used it almost every other day. It doesn't give a very close shave, so I do shave in the shower when going somewhere fancy or remotely non-casual. It can't really cut or scratch, since the actual razor is inside the shaving apparatus (which is also why the shave isn't that close). Overall, I think I will be very pleased if this device lasts past the 1 year mark.
