As expected from the reviews, the ES-RF31 shaves closely and is easy to clean. Prompt delivery and a good price from Shavers.co.uk. It's just a shame manufacturers are building in obsolescence by removing the option of powering shavers direct from the mains.
Never having been a fan of electric shavers, preferring instead to wet shave, I decided that the problem was probably that my existing shaver was long past its sell-by date. I decided that a modern shaver would probably be worth trying, providing it didn't cost the earth. After some investigation, I purchased the Panasonic ES-RF31, and I am glad I did. This shaver is light years ahead of my old one and shaves almost as close as a wet shave. It has been a worthwhile purchase, to the extent that I haven't wet shaved since I got it.
This is my second Panasonic RF31 it's almost as cheap,to replace the whole thing as to buy the blades and foils . The motor runs fast the battery is back to holding charge longer . The blades have lasted me nearly 3/years. This razor is the best one I have ever used . And the service from Shavers was excellent quick efficient well packed and no hassles .
