You need to change the color to the Blue shaver in the dropdown, and it will change it to $129+, add that to your cart and then apply the coupon code SAVINGS20 at checkout. I believe it defaults to the Silver color which is $200+
But WAIT there's more:
In addition to the shaver & free trimmer, Panasonic will send a promo code for a free gift at Brosh shipped free (an additional $18-$35 value):

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."

Maybe it's my lack of skills, though it doesn't cut my neck nor sideburns well. Had the same experience with Arc3. After a year, it's displaying an icon to replace the foil. I did clean and oil regularly.

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.
The ARC5 can handle thick beard hair effectively for close results.
The shaver can cut much better with almost no pressure when technique is dialed in.
The included cleaning mode can simplify maintenance by using liquid soap and rinsing.
The foil system can stay usable for about a year and a half with regular cleaning.
The shaver can require extra passes or pre-trimming because it may not catch all hairs first pass.
The ARC5 may not cut the neck or sideburns well, even with regular cleaning and oiling.
Replacement foils and blades can be overpriced, and Amazon-labeled parts may raise doubts about authenticity.
The foil replacement indicator can appear after about a year despite routine cleaning and oiling.

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