TopStrengths: Very close shave. No skin irritation.
Weakness: Bulky charger.
Best electric shaver I have owned in past 20 years. Very close shave comparable to razor without irritation. Floating/tilting head follows contour of face well. Easy to clean. Charger base a little big and unsteady compared to some brands with direct plug to razor.

TopStrengths: Induction charger, turbo-clean, ergonomic shape, wet-dry usage
Weakness: Instruction manual lacks details. A bit pricey.
I have used several shaver brands in the past and like Panasonic the best. Rather than buy a new foil and blades for my old model, I decided to upgrade..a good decision. This model can be used dry, however, I found a small amount to shaving foam allows a smoother shave. The turbo action makes cleanup quick and easy. The unit can "park" in the base unit, since it cannot be overcharged.

TopStrengths: - I love the Wet/Dry function, so you can shave with water, soap or Foamy, or nothing. It is quite. So easy to clean, just pass under some water and you are done. Voltage convertion
Weakness: Price
Really good shaver, the best I have ever own. I like I said the Wet functionality is really great, I use it with foam. The cleaning is so easy compare to all my old razors. I love it. I suspect my wife to want to use it for her legs ;-)
I think panasonic did a great job with this razor.

TopStrengths: Quiet, wet/dry, quick charge, sonic clean mode, good shave
Weakness: Price
I replaced a three-year-old Braun syncro with this shaver. The head of the Braun had gotten "loose" and that caused it to be very loud and to give a poor shave. In contrast, the Panasonic is very quiet. My old Braun cost a fortune in cleaning solution for the syncro system. In contrast, the Panasonic can be cleaned with soap and water, and has a special "sonic" cleaning setting. In fact, since it is a wet/dry shaver, you can just shave in the shower and then clean it while you're in there. I think that's pretty nice. I suspect my wife will now banish me to the shower when I shave so the bathroom countertops stay cleaner. Fair enough.

TopStrengths: Shaves very smoothly without irration. Easy to clean. Can use with gel or shaving cream. Charges easily because of induction charging system.
Weakness: None that I can think of.
This is the best shaver that I have ever used. I had previously used an earlier model Panasonic that I really liked. However, after using it for several years I bought a top-of-the-line Remington electric shaver that was on sale. Big mistake! The Remington felt like I was using sanding paper to take my whiskers off. After putting up with it a couple of months, I bought another Panasonic. This model Panasonic is improved over the great one I had before. I highly recommend it.

TopStrengths: Quiet, efficient, gentle
Weakness: awkward design, but you get used to it
this is the best razor I have found so far. It is very comfortable and gentle on the face. I always have trouble shaving my neck, but it is no longer a problem.

Panasonic ES8095NC Pro Curve Shaver
Strengths: Closeness of shave, ease of cleaning, battery charge
Weakness: Price
I have used electric razors for years and have tried Norelco, Remington, Braun and now Panasonic. This is the best razor of all of them. It is wet/dry, which I thought was a useless gimmick until I tried the razor with shaving cream. The result was a shave that equaled a straight razor. It works very well dry, but much, much better with cream and I had less irratation. Clean up is increadably easy...add hand soap to the razor, run under water and activate the "turbo" mode for 20 seconds. My last razor was the Braun synchro, and the cutter block put holes in the foil screen (two different times) after approx. 90 days. So far, the Panasonic does the best job, though my face is still getting used to this razor, especially around the neck/adams apple area. Finally, the merchant, digital photo club, had the best price and processed my order quickly and efficiently. No complaints and I recommend this razor over all others. I haven't figured out the benefit of the adjustable pivot action yet. If anybody has benefited from this, let me know.
