I owned both the braun 9 & the previous version of the Panasonic (arc4) for a brief time. I felt the Panasonic gave slightly closer shaves (where the skin feels smooth to the touch, even closer than Gillette razer blades). As for rashes, it depends on a few things such applied pressure on skin, wet or dry shave, & number of passes. The neck area will definitely require a few passes to get all the hair. The skin will feel irritated. To lessen the irritation, you can use shaving cream. I dry shaved with this, it was easier to tell whether hair strands were missed.

Some other things, the Panasonic has a more high pitched whine compared to the braun. Neither were good with longer length hair, they both work optimal with 2-3 days hair growth. Any longer & you'll want to use another beard trimmer to get the length down to avoid multiple passes.

Another thing, the Panasonic works wonderfully for shaving the head smooth as well (didn't try with braun).

To buy now and have it at the good price or wait and no sale when I need it? Usually I have one or two as backstock. I use the clippers on difficult areas with light pressure. My hair lays down and lots of pressure with the regular side in those areas shaves too close and results in ingrown hair bumps. Pseudofolliculitus barbae 🤕
On the nose trimmer I didn't know the larger part of tip unscrews for cleaning and oiling. They last much longer 🤔 In 4 1

I think it was the old foils that used to occasionally nick (especially while using in the shower or with shave gel). However, from my experience, this is a non-issue with the newer foils that have the bars on them. Razor hasn't changed, but the foils have definitely been updated over time with these new bars that were originally only on the Japanese models. The new foils now come standard on the Arc5.
coo that's good they fixed it.

in the end that's the physical tradeoff companies have to make, the closer the shave, the thinner the foil and the higher the chances of cuts. Personally I prefer Brauns, maybe ever so slightly looser shave but never get nicked.

I saw some testing before, Panasonic is good on thick beard hair, like Asian. Braun is good on thin beard, like white people.

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.
