Customer Reviews of Panasonic ES8228S Men's Linear Vortex Nano Arc Foil Shaving System, Silver
Customer Review: If you have sensitive skin, you should give this a try
Summary: 4 Stars
I have very sensitive skin on my neck, and until recently I couldn't shave every day. A few months ago I began trying different shaving products and techniques in hope of finding something that would work for me. For the last three weeks, I've been wet-shaving with this shaver and Billy Jealousy Hydroplane shaving cream with no irritation to speak of.
No, this shaver doesn't shave a close as a blade, but since for me the alternative was shaving every second day, it's way closer than a blade on one day out of two. It also doesn't deal with long hair very well, so I feel like I can't skip a day. That's the only reason I haven't given it 5 stars.
If the Hydroplane seems too expensive, I've also used the shaver with inexpensive shaving oil with good results. The shave is slightly less comfortable during the act, but doesn't result in any lingering irritation. The oil seems to leave a film on the blades and foil, so more frequent cleaning is needed. It didn't work well with any of the traditional shaving creams or gels that I tried. They seem to clog the works and the shave, while comfortable, isn't very close.
Used dry, this shaver wasn't any better than the many others I've tried over the years. I also can't say that this model is any better than the less-expensive Panasonic wet-dry shavers on the market. What I can say is that used in the shower with the right shaving lube it results in the least irritation of any method I've ever tried.
Customer Review: Best Electric Shaver I've Ever used
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used three different electric shavers over my life, none of them gave me a close shave, or were easy to use - this one does and is as simple as a razor to use.
I don't have an extensive review, but I've owned this unit for a little over a month with no complaints.
Some things I've noted since my use:
- If you haven't used an electric shaver before, or in a long while, like me, you'll want to use the best shaving cream/lotion/whatever you can find for yourself. Even with my favorite shaving lotion I still got some minor bumps and skin irritation from use, but after a week or so I was good.
- Great for use in the shower. In fact that's the only place I use it.
- It is very easy to clean. Not only because the charging unit doubles as a cleaning unit, but because you just snap off the head, and most of the time there's nothing inside anyways.
- I charge/clean the unit once a week and it seems to work great.
- I can shave with this unit, stretch my skin and shave again - it's as close as using a razor. But a razor would be much easier to use when you need the silky smooth feel.
- I can't stress the lotion! (Put the lotion in the basket! haha) The smoother the foils go across your face the closer and better the shave.
Customer Review: Nice Shave
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very excited to get the shaver. At first I wanted to get the Braun Pulsonic, because my neck hairs grow in all direction. I hesitated to pull the trigger on the Braun due to price and, the fact that the last Braun I bought (#7505) for $99 was not worth it. Basically it was no better the $28 shaver I had before. Because I don't like to taking stuff back, too much of a hassle, I decided to research this purchase. I read the reviews, weighted costs and options then decided to buy the Panasonic ES8228S. When I got it I immediately charged it up and shaved. I didn't know what to expect. I was immediately happy with the shave and my wife and I thought that it was as close as a blade (mach 3). When I wet shaved, with Gillette gel, I thought it was closer than the blade. However, I still have to go over my multi-direction neck hairs several times and I can't say the shaver is quicker than a blade. Also the cleaner is cool, but it is long and loud, and when the charging cycle it over it flashes a bright light...all this is quite annoying if you bath room is connected to you bed room. Over all I love the shave and I love to shave with it and I don't get any irritation.Customer Review: Ladies - Take Note!

So this is a razor supposedly for men. But like many women I like to use an electric razor - and ones "made for women" just never deliver what I'm looking for. Legs and underarms that are shaved everyday - just like most men shave their face every day - need some TLC. After spending a great deal of money over the years on "women's" electric shavers I decided that if I am to get what I'm looking for then I have to look at where the technology and effort is at - and that's with "men's" razors. After lots of research I decided upon the Panasonic ES8228S for a variety of reasons - the fact that I can use it in the shower was my first point of consideration, followed by the nanotech sharp blades and the motor speed. And I have not been disapointed! In fact, this is the THE BEST electric razor I have ever used, and now wish that I had never fallen for the "women's" razor scheme. Those things are awful compared to this. My legs and underarms have never been happier - or smoother! I bought my husband a Panasonic several (8+) years ago and it's still going strong and he's always been very satisfied with its shave. Now there are 2 fans in the family.Customer Review: So far so good

Update, 4 months later: The razor is still solid and super close shave. Trimmer still pretty weak.
I previously owned a Braun Synchro 7526 which I loved, especially the trimmer. It finally up and died after 5 years of service.
Tired of forgetting to shave before showering and then having to break out the manual blades, I just got this thing today and did my first shave. Super smooth results, but had to do some pressure on my face to get it really smooth. The floating head is awesome as is the speed it cuts.
The trimmer is average at best.
The cleaning function is a bit of a joke. I gotta say the Braun also excelled in that too.
As with any new shaver, there is some skin irritation as it performs slightly different than the Braun. The documentation says it will take 30 days for your skin to get used to if I use the razor regularly.
Being able to rinse off my razor under water or shave in the shower is a big plus.
We'll see how this thing survives a vacation and the length of time for my whiskers to grow back, and maybe I'll give it a 5th star.
