When I called these guys to give me the best shaver for a black man - one that will not give me bumps on my head and no irritation on my skin - Luke, the sales guy, had little problems recommending one - and its this little gem.
After all the nasty experiences with other brands I cannot name here, this shaver has given me a refreshing comfort, and my confidence back.
It arrived the next day and I tested it on a little area on my head to ensure that I will not get any bumps or rashes after use. The shave was smooth and effortless.
I let the shaver glide through my head dry with no gel or cream. Dabbed cold water on my head after the shave, and wiped my head dry with a clean towel. Woke up the next day checked my head out and no irritation or bumps!! Voila! I smiled to myself.
Of course its my first day of use, but the signs are that this is a fantastic shaver and it will live up to expectation.
After long years of using different hair clippers and trimmers on my head, suffering irritation and bumps that have left me scarred on my head, finally - God has answered my prayers. For the black man, look no further. This is the baby to buy.
Its nice to test on a little area of your head or skin first and give it a day+ as all skin are different - but I have a very sensitive skin and most razors and shavers react heavily on my skin. But I am buying another one of these for the keeps as I would never wanna be without one.
Kudos to Panasonic for solving a major problem for black men like me.
Overall I have been delighted with Shavers UK. The delivery was very quick, next day in fact, and the shaver is fantastic.
I usually wet-shave because I always felt it was a closer shave: this Panasonic shaver has converted me. I have used mid-range Braun electric shavers in the past and been disappointed. This Panasonic simply blows them away; it oozes quality.
Very Pleased.
Even came with a Panasonic SL41 (which I've yet to use), a Wahl trimmer and for seventy-five pounds cheaper than I could find it elsewhere! Bit of a no-brainer really!
Performence is excellent as was my previous 8249 [still in use]. The cleaning system is still not as easy to use overall as the Braun. Score would have been 10 otherwise.
I would recommend discussing one's needs with the help-line before purchasing. Service and delivery were exemplary. An example which others could do well to emulate.
