Description

ES8043 a modern, stylish Premium Shaver with Boasting technologies that give a revolutionary performance.

Panasonic's Pro-Curve series reflects three main technologies we have incorporated into mens shavers to give outstanding feature benefits. The Wet/Dry shaver technology astonished the market when it was first introduced. Wet/Dry means the ES8043 can be used for a refreshing wet shave and can be cleaned very easily. All you need to do is hold the shaver under running water.

World's fastest direct Linear motor drive

Offering the world's fastest motor speed of 13000 rpm means you get the best shave until just before the battery is exhausted. Maintains the high speed operation until the very last minute ensuring performance and battery indicator shows battery level throughout

Ideal Battery

The secret behind the power comes down to having the ideal rechargeable battery. Panasonic have spent years of research and development which has produced a battery circuit which can maintain maximum power until it discharges. One hour charge time gives 45 minutes of use LCD Battery indicator constantly shows the status of battery life on the shaver in steps of 10%, supplied with travel pouch, charger and cleaning brush.

World's sharpest Inner Blades

Maintain cutting efficiency for much longer than conventional blade types. Wet & Dry, allows shaving with foam for a more comfortable shave and can be used in the shower. Washable unit allows the user to simply wash the foil out after use and a cleaning reminder reminds you when to do so. The blade also contributes to a shaver's superior performance. Panasonic manufactured the world's first 30° acute-angle inner blade to give an extremely close and faster shave as well as reduced resistance when shaving in hard to reach areas.

 

World's most Flexible pivoting head

Keeping the unique curved foil in touch with the contours of your face, this gives a much more efficient, quicker closer shave.

Light weight

As well as all this, Panasonic shavers are amazingly lightweight and compact. But don't let that fool you. There is no power sacrifice to miniaturise them.

Panasonic ES8043 Pro-Curve Linear Drive Men's Electric Shaver Reviews

Performance was super

Sevice was second to none and the product out performed most pleased.Lock the flexible head in position for the best result.

Short lifespan

Despite its excellent performance, what ultimately let this shaver down was that it had a very short shelf life indeed.
I only bought this saver in Nov 2006 and now in April 2008 it has stopped working. I had always previously bought Braun shavers which lasted for years and years but their prformance was average. Unfortunately Panasonic shavers are gentle on my skin and I will be very reluctantly replacing it with another one.

Not bad at all!

Having read the reviews I expected nothing short of miraculous! but at the end of the day it is just a shaver! however it is a very good shaver and with a bit of practice gives a very close shave.

The first time I used the shaver it wasn't so good but it was my first attempt with any electric shaver. The second shave I used the flexible head in the locked position and immediately had a much closer shave! The third shave I used the shaver wet (NICE!!!)with K of S gel (the orange one) as I used to with my old stealth fusion razor, a massive difference a very close comfortable shave especially with the shaver in the locked position. Virtually no shaver rash and the small bit I did have was gone within half an hour.

This shaver is very easy to clean and maintain without any silly gimicks, "Just wash And Go!" Let's face it (no punn intended) nothing shaves as close as a blade but this shaver is very good, comfortable and convienient to use. I have to admit I would be very curious to see how the new Braun Pulsonic shaver compares but beyond a certain point I can't help thinking that some products are designed to catch more customers than hairs!!!
