I never thought I'd like an electric razor but so far so good. I'm giving it the 30 days like it says to get use to it but I really like it. My daughter, it's really her razor, loves it. It's convenient, the battery stays charged a long time, and the shave is close and smooth.

I bought this to replace a great Norelco that, unfortunately, died on me. This thing is completely useless...unless you need an expensive, rechargable paper weight. It takes FOREVER to do the lower portion of one leg, let alone all of both of them...who's got that kind of time?!?! About the only thing I've found that it's good for is to catch those little spots that you invariably miss with the razor in the shower.

Don't waste your money on this one.

Wet/Dry shaver...I'm sooo glad I bought this! I used to have to hassle with razors and how careful I was to not knick myself. With this shaver, I don't have to worry about any of that! It's a close shave, and the pop up trimmer comes in really handy for the bikini area. It lasts a long time! I shave every other day and it'll last me about 1 week or so. I got it off of Amazon[.com] for [$$$]...what a great price!

I was browsing the razors when I noticed that this one (the panasonic ES208A Ladies' Wet/Dry Rechargeable Shaver) was still for sale. I bought mine some time ago and used it (dry) and found it to be uncomfortable to use, not to mention, a little difficult to clean during and afterwards. I also got nicked whenever I did the underarms and knees. I've tried so many shavers that I can't remember how many, but I did find that (in general) the remingtons, especially with a plug, worked the very best of all the shavers I had. BTW, I also tried Veet and that was a big waste of $$, not to mention time. Nothing (for me) shaves closer than a manual double bladed wet razor, NOTHING.

Bought this one for the Mrs. and after having used a number of this type of shaver, she is quite satisfied with this one. Recharge is easy and the shaver does a great job.

I would recommend this shaver for anyone who is willing to put time and effort into shaving. If you really work with it it does have a very close shave, and the other, less expensive, electric's I've tried don't get as close. But be warned, even though it can get close it can also nick your skin, although it is by far not as painful as using a triple blade razor and the nicks are not frequent what-so-ever. I'd prefer a triple blade, but due to my current finacial situation an electric is much less expensive and this one does do what it needs to do. I like that even if you let your legs get a little hairy, like in the winter, this works much quicker than a triple blade. It's not for everyone, but it works for me.

My well meaning husband purchased this shaver for my birthday. After using it a few times for one hour on each leg to get a semi-smooth look, I thought it was a major waste of time and money. My beef isn't just with the shaver, it's with the ridiculous wall/outlet charger. Nevermind trying to plug in anything under it as it hangs a little down ...and you definitely can't plug in anything above it while the shaver is charging. You also have to push it into the outlet very hard to make it stay in to charge completely.
If you have baby fine hairs on your legs, then this is the shaver for you. Forget about under the arm or the bikini line, though, cause this "shaver" is more of a hair "saver".

If your looking for a super close shave a razor is still best, but if you want the convenience of getting rid of stubble two minutes before you run out the door (which more closely describes my life) this is the shavor for you. It works better than most electric shavors I've used.

This shaver is okay for the price. It caused some razor chaffing on my legs, but like I said for the price its okay and I will continue to use it. I had another Panasonic razor that was better an gentler, but it is now over 50.00 and I went with the cheaper one.

I got this for my spouse. She tried to make use of this on legs & bikini. She felt lot of pain and we have to return this item.
