Panasonic ES8163 Pro-Curve Linear Drive Wet/Dry Men's Electric Shaver

a Panasonic Men's Electric Shaver

The ES8163 is the new top of the range men's shaver from Panasonic. It builds on the ES8093 and in the main provides a new shape and foil design.


Feature wise it continues the standard of the ES8093, running time, display and motor remaining about the same. In my opinion the main area of development is the new foil built around a curve, and the improved flexible head system. These two together give the shave a nice smooth feel and the arc in the foil lets you use the shaver in a circular motion around the neck! Quite unusual for a foil shaver but reasonably effective during the few shaves I have had with it. It still a tricky area but any advantage is welcome.


From my initial experience of the ES8163 and the great response to the ES8093 I don't think this shaver will have any problem maintaining the standard.

Description

ES8163 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 ES8163 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 30o acute-angle inner blade to give an extremely close and faster shave as well as reduced resistance when shaving in hard to reach areas. Foil Shaver

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 ES LA63 Pro-Curve Linear wet and dry shaver

This is truly excellent and I thank Mark and co for all their help and advice. I had a Braun before, which was quite good and then decided to upgrade to a Philips expensive trailhead job. That one gave a very poor shave and huge degrees of razor burn. It also felt shoddily built - NOT good.

The Panasonic on the other hand was very well built, solid and gave a very comfortable shave either wet or dry and still feels nearly as close as an old fashioned razor. Very pleased

Wasted Years

Spent 30 years with various Brauns. No doubt excellent shavers but..........

Have now had 2.5 years with my best shaver ever, the Panasonic ES8163. What a revelation in closeness and comfort! And technically brilliant too.

Normally use Dry, but sometimes have a Wet shave for a change.

Wish I'd bought a Panasonic earlier and enjoyed many more great shaving years.

The best I have had

I had an earlier panasonic that I'd liked, but it was getting a little tired. I tried the Philips Arcitec, which was not bad and great for some areas, but didn't really replace the Panasonic.

I took a gamble and tried this and it is fantastic. The sound is different from the older one, it seems much faster, cuts better, and I reckon this is the best shaver that I have owned.

Quicker and Cleaner than ever before.
