I live in wonderful sunny Florida which means it's "shorts weather" for maybe 9 or 10 months out of the year. Believe it or not, when I moved to Florida 5 years ago, my first worry was not about making friends or finding a job, it was about how the heck I was going to shave everyday without the cuts and irritation, not to mention the cost of having to place the razor blades. Well, I think I've found the solution.

Yes, I've one of those gals who will shave in the morning and by the end of the day, you can see the stubble growing back. And I'm also one of those gals who has a hard time tanning so the stubble is even more visible. Mix those two things with sensitive legs, and you've got a recipe for leg shaving disaster. I've tried shaving with regular razors and although it provides the closest shave, the cost of replacement blades and the cuts/irritation were not worth it. I've tried a few other electric razors but they not only irritated my legs, but they also didn't provide a close enough shave. The Panasonic ES2206AC is different.

With this razor, I can shave everyday without the irritation. Absolutely no cuts whatsoever. I can move the razor over one spot more than once to get a closer shave unlike manual razors. I had only planned on using this razor dry because I liked to have it on hand for quick touchups so I didn't want to risk damaging it with water but recently I started using it in the shower. If you put some shaving gel on your legs and lather before shaving, it actually produces an even closer shave than dry shaving. The head doesn't get clogged if you rinse every so often.

Although some may argue that electric razors don't get a close enough shave than manual razors, I have to say that the results were almost the same for me. Even though with manual razors my legs FELT smoother, the stubble would still grow back within hours of me shaving. I'd rather have a $20 electric razor that can do the same job as really expensive manual razors.

I've had no problems with the charge of the battery but eventually it WILL die. This is a problem with just about every cordless product. This product would be better if it was corded but I'm perfectly content with the results anyway. I wouldn't say this product is perfect because it doesn't produce an extremely close shave but it is perfect for me personally. If I could, I would have rated it 4.5 stars out of 5. I definitely recommend this razor to anyone who wants to quit shaving with expensive manual razors.

Shaves close, no cuts, I can even shave under my arms without getting cut. Three shaving heads are great for a closer shave and the blade for longer hair works well too. This is a great buy and consumer reports rates it in their top electric shavers. Nothing shaves like a regular razor, but for someone who doesn't have time to spend time shaving in the shower and rinsing, shave and rinse (you get the picture), I love this one. Got my shaving done in less than 3 minutes this morning, put on my dress and off to work!

Yesterday I finally convinced myself to buy an electric shaver. Since I shave my arms (weird massage therapist thing – hair holds oil and body ick and I don’t need anyone else’s body ick on me) I’ve come to realize that it’s too hard to shave your arms in the shower because the hair just does NOT want to come off for some reason. I always miss spots when I shave with my regular razor in the shower … so I bought myself a Panasonic Triple Blade Wet/Dry electric shaver. It is awesome! I had already shaved my legs and arms most of the way yesterday with my regular razor, then found the spots I’d missed on the backs of my legs and my arms and did them today. It’s just as smooth, if not better, than my expensive razors I use in the shower! Awesome buy and totally worth it!
