Customer Reviews of Panasonic ES8228S Men's Linear Vortex Nano Arc Foil Shaving System, Silver
Customer Review: excellent shaver!
Summary: 4 Stars
I had this Panasonic for only 3 weeks now, and I've been using it 5 times a week. I've only used it for dry shaving but will definitely give a try to the wet shaving soon. As of now, I am very happy with it. I did not test any other unit so I will just give my opinion based on the fact that I switched from the good ol' razor blade to this electric system.
+ fits well in the hand. I don't find the location of the off/on switch to be an annoyance as pointed out by a reviewer
+ shaves well; definitely a close shave, although for people like me, with a very, very hard facial hair, it might require several passages in order to achieve the result you're looking for
+ easy to clean. Once you put it on the stand, it takes care of itself. I clean it once a week. I have not replaced the cleaning cartridge yet.
+ holds the charge REALLY well. Used it for 10 days, 5-7 minutes every day, and it still had 10% left.
- a bit noisy when it is being cleaned on the stand
- wish the shave was a bit closer/more efficient for my hard hair
- it looks like the detergent cartridges are pretty pricey
Customer Review: Panasonic ES8228S shaving system
Summary: 4 Stars
I am 72 yrs old and have had a full beard for nearly 40 years and my wife decided it was time to shave it off. The first shave with this razor was following a good "clipping" with my Wahl beard trimmer. I was amazed at the quality of the dry-shave and the closeness without razor burn for the 'first time'. It also did a good job with the fine hairs around my "turkey neck" with only a minimal of fine hairs left behind. However, after 2 weeks of every other day shaves I switched to the wet-shave mode and was even more pleased. This did result in some razor bumps and infected hairs around my lower neck line but following another 2 weeks these went away and I am now shaving while getting my morning shower.
With a little patience this can be the best electric razor system for the money a young man, or old man, can expereince.

Customer Review: Best shaver ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Shaving is one of my least pleasant daily rituals. Or so it was before I switched to Panasonic ES8228S. What a difference a shaver can make. I started with the Norelco (had a couple expensive models), but they never gave a close shave. I then bought a Panasonic (don't remember the model, but it was a notch below ES8228S); it was OK, but not exceptional. ES8228S really shines. It's quiet and smooth, and gives a really close shave. The only thing I cannot understand is why it does not work when plugged in. It recharges (via the cord or base) pretty quickly, but I had assumed that I would be able to use it either cordless or plugged in. This is not the case: when the battery completely discharges, you cannot just plug it in and continue shaving, you need to wait a few minutes, unplug it and then continue shaving with the shaver unplugged. Also, I could've lived without the base unit: I'm not sure if it achieves much over simple cleaning with water and soap. It's also a bit loud (and long) when it runs in the cleaning cycle. Other than these minor issues, it's and excellent shaver.Customer Review: I think I found the holy grail of electric shavers
Summary: 5 Stars
Listen up, I don't write reviews, so when I do take note! I been using various electric razors over the years to shave my face and head (norleco, remington, braun). The best one before now was the Braun Series 7 pulsonic. But even this great unit didnt match shaving with a blade for closes, and it didn't like it if you took 1-2 days off from shaving. But all of that is now in the past!
The bomb is this Pansonic unit! The shave on my face truly feels like I shaved with a blade. Its quick, no going over an area 5 times to get the cut. I took a weekend off from shaving to give it the ultimate test, and it shaved the growth with ease. I like the base cleaning unit, but have also found cleaning under the faceut works just as well. The only dig I've read several times on this unit is you might be replacing the foils every 4-6 months. For the quality of the shave I'm happy to do that even earlier!
Good luck to all you shavers on the electric shaver quest....I found mine!
Customer Review: Exceeded by expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using a Braun 8585 for the past several years, and haven't been all that pleased with it, mostly because of the consumables and the fact the cleaning fluid evaporates whether you use it or not.
With the recent sale on the Panasonic, I had to go for it. Night and day. The entire razor cost just a bit more than replacement foil/blade for the Braun (which was needed). The cleaning cart for this won't evaporate, but more importantly.... the shave was AS CLOSE as a blade. I let my hair grow for 4 days in anticipation of the arrival of this just to see what it could do. It passed the wife and toddler test with flying colors. My son likes to rub his cheek against mine after I've shaved, if there's any stubble at all, he comments about it. NADA. This was a dry shave too. Battery life DOES seem a bit short (down 10% when I shave, but since it only displays 10% increments, perhaps it shows 90% when it's really at 99%?). Anyway, goodbye Braun, I'm never coming back.
