Background you can skip
I am a guy, in his late 30's, heavy (I mean HEAVY) beard growth. By the time it hits noon, dry or wetshave, the shade starts to slowly show.
To make matters worse, I suffer from THE most sensitive skin.
I tried everything, from upgrading my foam to ultraglide superconductor foam for inflamed skin (by Gilette) to going from 2 blades to 3 blades to 4 blades-with-lubra-wd40-strips. You get the point.
Over the years I learned that the very best thing to do for me was to actually do a wet shave under the steamy shower: brush my teeth while I soak under the shower and then after 2.5 minutes of brushing teeth my skin would well prepped to take sensitive skin foam and I could shave infront of my precious fog-free shower mirror.
However, gradually, as the week passed the skin around my neck would get increasingly irritated from the combination of wet shaving and stiff shirt collars and ties which I must wear for work. So I...Read more

This review is from: Panasonic Pro-Curve Wet/Dry Travel Shaver (Health and Beauty)
First of all here are some points to put into consideration before buying. This shaver is for...
1. Someone who is looking for a TRAVEL shaver that is small and convenient to carry. It comes with a neat carrying case, and only requires two AA batteries that can be found anywhere. One set of batteries can approx. last up to 20 days/shaves-ish. It will still go on, but I can feel the motor running at lower speed.
2. Someone who prefers WET shaving experience whenever possible. (Wet shaving with this product is great. Dry, not so much.)
3. Someone who needs to shave everyday or simply want that clean shaven look everyday. ( It's still a foil electric shaver, it's fast, efficient, everyday.)
4. Someone who needs his travel shaver to have a trimmer. (Frequent long trip? just like me.)
5. Someone who doesn't want to spend 15 minutes cleaning the shaver. Who wants hassle-free and easy cleaning shaver.
This shaver however isn't for someone who is looking...Read more

This review is from: Panasonic ES3833S Pro-Curve Wet/Dry Travel Shaver with Case, Silver (Health and Beauty)
This is a nice travel shaver not nearly as good as the discontinued es4815s Panasonic ES4815S Pro Curve Compact Mens Shaver With Double Blades, Blue/Silver which I reviewed, or the Braun P70 Braun PocketGo P-70 Men's Shaver. But, if you want a large trimmer, this is the one to get. The 4815 has no trimmer, and the Braun has a very small one. All of these are amazingly practical if you have a good set of NIMH (nickel metal hydride), modern/no memory, batteries and charger Duracell Value Charger With 4AA Pre Charged Rechargeable Nimh Batteries, CEF14DX4N
