Panasonic shavers (Arc5 and Arc4) are typically $50-70 cheaper and shaves as close as Braun. Panasonic also had the wet/dry shaving introduced at least 5 years before Braun (keyboard warriors please calm down - I'm referring to the top of the line shavers from both perspective companies). Wet shaving experience is much better on the Panasonic. Gel shaving is comparable - but easier to clean on the Arc5.
With that said - I still prefer the Braun because it cuts less harshly compared to Arc5, great for folks with sensitive skin. The Braun shaver head is slightly smaller to maneuver around tight spots (under the nose/lip and jawline). For folks with ingrown hair problem, Braun is better because it cuts less closer (and leaves slightly longer length after the shave...to allow the hair to grow outward instead of inward.
The transition from Braun to Panasonic has been a tough one, the guide/manual says you need to "train" your hair to be accustomed and that usually takes 30 days, not everyone has the patience to stick with a new shaver for 30 days. I have both shavers...I've settled on using Arc5 for travel (before that damn virus), and use Braun for my daily (or when I have zoom/in-person meetings).
Just want to share the experience because shavers have been an obsession for the past 10 years.

I've had my first gen Panasonic Arc5 for little over 6 years and like it a lot. But recently the motor has been acting a little strange and the battery is getting shorter. I was thinking about trying out the Braun 9 but researching replacement heads they have horrible review scores (Walmart, Bedbath, Target, Braun website). Might consider a Series 8 or 7-360 instead. Or just go with latest Arc5....

One of the reasons why I switched to Series 9 was to get another quality original shaver head. I have kept that as a back-up. I don't think country of origin was the problem - I think it was Braun vs. P&G ownership difference that's making inferior shaver head.
