Panasonic Men's Shaver 1-Flute Silver Style ES-RS10-S New from Japan

Smallest and lightest AA or AAA battery men's shaver available. Durable, good grip, on/off switch has safety lock but is still very easy to operate, easy to access and clean knife. 2 AA batteries last >30 shaves for me and are easy to change. After 90 shaves the shaving has the same feel as day 1. Only negative I found is that the plastic blade guard comes of to easy which then can cause damage to the blade when stored in my travel purse. I solved that by holding the cover by a rubber band. A true quality product and only one I could find that live up to the term "travel shaver", i.e. small, light and high quality.

The shaver is very compact (as small as a cigarette box) --> convenience for me to put in my laptop case and bring with me in a short business trip. Shaver is made in Japan. It does not requires electrical line to charge since it use only battery --> convenience for me to bring to a remote area and I do not to worry about charging. Motor is running strong even when battery is running low. Shaving is quite close as same as Braun 3030s however it's a little more irritation than 2 blade shaver. The heat at the shaving foil is cool if compare to the other re-chargeable shaver with 2 blades when you shave for 5-10 minutes. Limitation: - can be used for a short hair (~ < 3mm). If more than 3mm then you have to use other cutter to cut it to shorter hair. - no trimmer.

I bought this shaver hoping that as an updated model of an old Sanyo shaver (Panasonic now owns Sanyo.) it would at least come close to perpetuating its quality. Unfortunately, not to mention unhappily...no such luck! This shaver is a classic example of an excellent product having been totally degraded to maintain its price point, and simply said, it's a piece of junk, although it IS a nicely made piece of junk. If you've got a real light beard and your skin isn't too sensitive it'll do in a BAD pinch, but it's a huge compromise at best.
