The ARC5 is a foil shaver best known for delivering a very close shave on thick or coarse beard hair, especially when used with light pressure and the right grain direction. It can feel smoother than Braun or Norelco for some faces, and the wet and dry design, rinseable cleaning mode, and included trimmer add convenience. The main drawbacks are neck and sideburn trouble, occasional missed hairs or extra passes, and a learning curve that gets worse with longer growth. Replacement foils also seem pricey, and the bundled trimmer has been out of stock at times, making it a solid fit for short, regular shaves.

  • Men with thick beard growth, because it cuts thick facial hair well and gives especially close shaves on coarse hair.

  • Shavers who prefer a very close electric shave, because it can feel smooth to the touch with almost no pressure.

  • People who shave every day or every other day, because longer gaps can cause snags and poorer results.

  • Head shavers who want a smooth finish, because it works wonderfully on the scalp.

The razor is good - shopping direct from Panasonic is horrific. Absolutely the worst. I have dealt with hundreds of retailers and never had as bad an experience as I am having with Panasonic. Seriously - I would pay more to shop elsewhere.

Panasonic needs to get religion when it comes to the cost of replacement blades and foils. Cost more than a new on-sale unit. The $50~ blades and foils on Amazon SAY Panasonic, but I have my doubts/wonderings speaking from personal experience.
It's definitely a risk. I started getting horrible rashes and cuts from my barber on the neck part of the shave and found out she had been getting a lot of complaints and realized it was the 'genuine' blades she bought on Amazon. Until that point she only bought from the local beauty supply shop.

It totally depends on your requirement. If you don't mind taking longer time to shave, it can last many many years.

For anyone on still on the fence:

In depth review of this model's variant linked below. You can scroll up and read up on the history of Panasonic Shavers and compare all the different models, if you have time:
https://shavercheck.com/panasonic...-ES-LV65-S

TLDR:
Which Panasonic shaver should you buy?
Ranked #1 "Best pick for most users"
"Alternatively, if you live in the USA, check out the newer ES-ALV6HR (red), ES-ALV6HS (Silver), ES-ALV6HA (blue) and ES-LV67-K (black). These shave exactly the same as the ES-LV65-S (same motor and blades), but have a more modern design."

Also in that review above, there are Top 5 tips for using and taking care of your Panasonic shaver (hyperlinked below for easier reference):

Good luck!

Hush now...
Do you want someone to rename "Japan" to "USA" so that people will believe these are made in USA?

Unless I'm doing something wrong, doesn't look like the trimmer bundle is working anymore. Ready to pull the trigger on shaver alone, but if anyone knows if the bundle is still working for them and maybe I'm just doing something wrong, let me know.

Still working. Click the link here and scroll down a bit and you'll see the razor and trimmer pictures side by side. Underneath the razor, select blue and then the price should change to 130.

Thanks. Was going through a cash app portal and the combo didn't show up. Didn't want to worry about trying to work around that for a couple $ savings so just ordered without it.

I didn't get the Brosh email. Is there someone at Panasonic I can contact? My shaver bundle is being delivered today.
