Shavers - Features Please note that each model does not necessarily offer all of the features mentioned below.
Arc Blades (World’s first*)
Whiskers under the chin cannot be completely caught by conventional straight blades. With curved blades, the entire surface fits closely under the chin without problems. In addition, approximately 1,100 foil holes facing in 800 directions catch the hard to reach whiskers under the chin or under the nose. Just placing it against your skin automatically shaves cleanly.
* For outer foil of reciprocating men’s shaver, surface is curved in blade reciprocation direction. Introduced in October 2004.
Quadruple arc foil (ES-8243, ES-8249, ES-LA93)
The quadruple arc foil grasps and shaves each whisker under the chin and jaw line, requiring less pressure and it helps to reduce irritation. The 4 Nano blades combine with the arc foil to better conform to your face for an ultra-smooth and close shave.
Ultra-thin vibrating outer foil (ES-LA93 only)
At only 41 micrometers, the outer foil is incredibly thin, and its subtle vibrations lift the hair follicle for the closest shave possible.
Automatic cleaner / charger (HydraClean™ system)
Simply placing the shaver in the cleaner/charger cleans whisker debris automatically. The detergent contains lubricant, so there is no need for the added step of lubricating the blade. In addition, since neutral detergent is used, it is also gentle to the environment. Fully automatic cleaning, disinfection, drying and charging provides a shave that is always fresh.
Linear motor drive
Our patented Linear motor offers a clean shave without friction. At 13,000 RPMs*, our shavers are some of the fastest on the market. They power effortlessly through thick beards with less pulling and irritation while shaving.
* The ES-LA93 offers 14,000 RPMs.
Nano technology
Our nano technology delivers the sharpest* blades for a precise and close shave at the root so there is no need to go over the same spot. While conventional shavers offer a range of 45° to 90° blades, select Panasonic models come with the sharp blade angle of 30° for an even closer, faster and gentler shaving experience.
* For inner blade tip angle of 30°. As of December 2007 (according to Panasonic investigation).
Pivoting head
The 4-way pivoting head follows the contours of your face with unparalleled precision moving up/down and front/back for a more comfortable shave. You can enjoy a clean, close shave effortlessly.
Shave wet or dry
Panasonic technology allows your shaver to be fully immersed in water and can be used in the shower. Using shaving gel, enjoy a wet or dry shave and then simply rinse clean under running water; you’re left with a shaver that’s fresh and clean and ready for its next use.
