I have a $200 or so Braun electric shaver...I forget, the series 9 something. In any case been traveling much more these days and finding my regular sized Braun takes up too much room, too heavy, also have to bring the charger. I wanted a very small DECENT shaver for travel and to put in my carry on luggage. Took a chance on this Panasonic shaver and I kind of thought maybe it will work...but from some negative reviews I saw maybe it will barely work and or is it really made in Japan? not China? Well I purposely did not shave for three days knowing this Panasonic shaver was going to be delivered. It is TINY like maybe about 3 inches tall/1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. I put in two rechargeable AA's in it and off I went to test it. All I can say is WOW, to how well it worked/works. I have NO idea how some reviews stated it barely cut well or, it was made in China...The box clearly says made in Japan and it's also right on the back of the shaver. What to really say here. It's tiny....it gave me a CLOSER shave than my $200 bulky Braun, and I am blown away that it works as well as it does for about just $18!! haha, I am actually looking forward to shaving again because this thing works so well. As to longevity, I can not say yet, but if it lasts a while...this is maybe the best $20-ish I have spent on Amazon all year. On a side note, I'm no brand fan boy of ANY brand, but I have NEVER had any Panasonic ANYTHING from cameras to a rice cooker die on me. They must have GREAT QC overall..as the brand is so solid esp. vs all those new no name brands from Asia...you know. I do wish it had a trimer like a larger Braun travel shaver but that Braun looks nearly twice this size and my purpose was to find the smallest electric shaver possible. I am simply wowed by this thing. If it does die on me too soon, I'll update this review...so far...I am amazed at this little guy esp. vs it's price point!!

Not a high-performance shaver, but it is pretty good for what it is. I would buy it again. I'll go ahead and give some details...STYLE: It's why I bought this model. It makes me want to find my old NES and play Super Mario Brothers lol! I appreciate you, Panasonic!COMFORT: Excellent. It's extremely gentle and doesn't give me any irritation. In fact, I would say it's more comfortable than a lot of other shavers because of the wide foil. It will still nip you if you press it onto your face, but you are not supposed to do that anyway!CLOSENESS: It's not really a close shave, as foil shavers go. On par with an entry-level rotary shaver, in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, it will cut your stubble and make you look clean-shaven, but there are other shavers that will make your face feel smoother.POWER AND SPEED: In terms of the time it takes to shave, it's about the same as other shavers I tried. The motor *seems* slow and not very powerful, probably because it is small and runs on AA batteries. But hey, it will still cut through a day's growth no problem.BATTERY LIFE: Surprisingly good. I am two weeks into ownership and haven't had to change batteries yet. I started with fresh Duracell alkaline AAs.CUTTING LONGER HAIRS: This shaver is meant to be used on short hair / stubble. If you want to cut longer hairs that lay down, then you need a shaver with a trimmer bar or a razor.NOISE: It's relatively quiet for a foil shaver. Louder than my rotary shaver though.SIZE: It's tiny! About half the size of an iPhone Mini. Here's a picture of it next to my toothbrush.
