Product Description
Panasonic delivers the sharpest blades for precise and accurate shaving, now with Nano Technology. While conventional shavers offer a range of 45° to 90° blades, this shaver comes with the sharpest blade angle at 30° - great for precision cutting. Nano Technology was also used to polish the industry's sharpest 30° blades to achieve even better cutting performance. Our top-of-the-line shavers feature an adjustable pivoting head for a more comfortable shave. The pivoting head rocks up and down, and back and forth, to follow the contours of your face. You can even adjust the amount of pivot based on your preference with the Pivot Action Selector. Now you can get the maximum comfort and support that you need for a clean, close shave. Our patented Linear motor offers a frictionless, clean shave. At 13,000 RPMs, it's one of the fastest razors on the market and powers effortlessly through even the thickest beards for less pulling and irritation while shaving. Panasonic technology allows your shaver to be fully immersible in water for a great shave in or out of the shower. You can shave wet with lather or dry for a quick trim. When you're done shaving, simply rinse clean under water, click the shaver into the HydraCleanTM dock, and your razor will be ready the next morning.
Summary: Having good luck with ES8103S razor 2010-08-31
Comment: I've had it for a few weeks, and so far, so good. Most importantly, the blades are very sharp, and as a result I haven't yet had an incidence of ingrown hair, something that my old razor was doing a lot. It functions well wet or dry. Sometimes I have to go over an area many times, but only once or twice if I stretch the skin (hard to do without a mirror in the shower). The charge lasts more than a week; I didn't bother to bring the charger on my 1 week business trip to Europe. The charge indicator is nice.

Summary: Very Pleased 2010-08-30
Comment: I purchased this shaver specifically for head shaving in the shower and I'm very pleased with it for that application. For those times when I want to head shave without using a Mach 3 blade, I really like this razor. The wet shaving with regular shaving creme is easy on the skin and close enough. Battery life is quite good although it does self-discharge at about 10%/week although this might improve as the battery is used more. The wet/dry feature is fabulous and I wouldn't buy a shaver that couldn't be used in the shower, it's just too convenient. I did try a wet face shave but found this shaver, like all other electrics I have tried, just can't compare to a blade. But for head shaving the skin is tighter and the curves are less so the shave is outstanding if hair is no more than 3 days long to begin. If the shave proves reliable I'll be very happy with it.

Summary: Good shaver 2010-08-27
Comment: Wet shaving with blade will allow a closer shave but takes longer. This shaver gives a very good shave in a very short time. It may do even better with soap and water but not tried as I am satisfied as is. Of maybe a dozen shavers over many years, this is the best yet.

Summary: Great Shave 2010-08-24
Comment: It is very quite compared to the traditional electric and you get a close shave. It is also very sharp and I feel that this can mow down any beard. I would have you consider stepping up to the next step for a few bucks to get one extra shaving foil. I took one star off due to it not coming with any travel case, instead it comes with a useless thin cloth pouch.

Summary: Great Shaver! 2010-08-24
Comment: This is the best shaver I have used in the last 20 years. I have tried many brands cheaper & more expensive than the Panasonic ES8103S but, have always been disappointed until now. I am glad I read the review & gave this shaver a try. The shaver last about 10 days on single charge & does not loose power at the end like most shavers. I also like the counter that tells you when battery is used up. The shaver is quick & does not leave long hairs on neck like some shavers. I have been using the shaver for about 3 months & the blade still works like new. I am very happy with this shaver.
