Arrived as promised and after charging fully, the first shave was under way. I have hard bristles and the shaver coped well, but in some areas needs another go to make it smooth. Overall I'm happy.
I bought this as a travelling razor seeing that my previous Panasonic purchase ES-LV95 Arc5 has a too bulky charge base to carry around. If you have only a fine stubble (sort of beginner's), it is okay, but if your stubble is very hard and seasoned, then it simply does not do the job properly - not even as well as the old Panasonic Lamdash fixed-head model of well over 10 years ago. It is simply not worth the price. The head wobbles too much and when you secure it, it still does not have the necessary "bite" to cut the beard. I would recommend anyone contemplating this model, who has a thick stubble and can afford to pay the extra, to go for the 5 blade LV95 which does a very good job and also has a linear drive.
Don't know why I haven,t given it 100%, its good enough
