Panasonic Linear ES 8092NC Electric Shaver

Pros: Close shave, NiMh batteries, can't overcharge

Cons: Must hold it like a precision instrument

The Bottom Line: Great if you are ambidextrous or have a light beard

Review: I tried this for 3 weeks. I have a very heavy beard that goes in all directions and have very sensitive skin, blades cut me up badly. Using shaving foam, as their user manual recommends, it gave me a very close shave and no razor burn to speak of. The ...

Pros: Nice feel, close shave, easy to clean.

Cons: Requires many pases for razor-close shave.

The Bottom Line: Best feature is wet operation which makes cleaning easy. Go with one of the cheaper models that also has wet operation.

Review: I wanted to get a high-end electric shaver this time around because I've been through a few differen ...

Pros: Easy cleaning

Cons: Not as close as my old Braun

Review: It works fine. And the wash-under-faucet feature is great. I was hoping to replace my old Braun & Norelco with one shaver, but alas. (I used both triple-head & linear shavers, as each cut parts of my beard that the other didn't.) My new ...

Pros: Good electric shave, powerful, easy to clean, nice to hold

Cons: Not as close as a blade, takes a long time to shave (2x blade time)

Review: After trying the Norelco 8831xl and finding it can't shave worth anything, I decided that i'd try the Panasonic, as the norelco was totally inadequate. I used the panasonic for 2 weeks, and even went out and bought shaving foam (I usually use gel with a ...

Pros: Close shave, rarely any irritation

Cons: A little pricey; died after 18 months

Review: Let me start by saying that I was extremely pleased with the performance of this razor. I received it as a gift, and after the first two weeks of using it, I didn't miss my blade. Unfortunately, after 18 months of using it, the razor died.On the ...

Pros: good shave, quiet, no razor burn when used wet

Cons: died way to soon

Review: I have been using the Panasonic wet shavers for over 20 years and they have improved each year. While this model works well it does not shave as close as the older 8000 series. It does do a great job as long as you use it wet. A bit of soap in the ...

Pros: Speed for reasonably good shave
Waterproof, wet-dry
Comfort
Convenience
Styling

Cons: Longevity
Time for very close shave
Neckline shaving, trimmer all but worthless

The Bottom Line: Shaves quickly, with little effort; but misses whiskers and shaving close is slow. Waterproof-ness great, but I would keep looking around for a closer shave.

Review: Update after six months' usage: I must say that my opinion on this shaver has declined. There seems to be more and more whiskers that this just won't cut for anything - even with Edge or King of Shaves gel (a good product). Also, the unit has ...

Pros: Fast shave, quiet

Cons: Expensive, not a close shave, trimmer not so hot.

Review: Quiet. Fast shave especially if wet. I have used Williams electric shave and Baby Shampoo. I shave my whole head and find it shave everywhere well. I have been using the Remington Microscreen 3, but it takes longer. However, I like the Remington's ...

Pros: Close, comfortable, versatile

Cons: you still have to shave

The Bottom Line: A good as as shaving gets. Choose wet or dry, and see how quick and comfortable a shave can be.

Review: Ask any male that shaves daily, "what would you pay for the perfect shave"? The most common answers are 'a lot', 'anything', and 'just tell me how much,I'll pay it'. Shaving is basically a primitive act; an all out assault on ones face. With a blade, ...

Pros: Fits nicely in the palm of the hand. Quiet operation.

Cons: Short battery life, can't tackle a normal beard unless a blade is used first.

Review: I bought this in November of 2003. Less than a year later, it will not hold a charge. When it is turned on after a full charge, the charging indicator drops to 20% and it shuts off. I've cleaned it regularly as per instructions. For well over $100, it ...
