Pivot Acting Shaving System
Say goodbye to the hassle, mess, and bumps caused by using other shaving tools. The ES2218VC is a convenient, all-in-one system that works quickly and effectively. It features four of the sharpest blades available on any ladies' electric shaver. These pivoting blades glide over your curves--even those in hard-to-reach areas like behind the knees or under the arms--for a smoother shave. And they're hypoallergenic, too, so you won't have to worry about skin irritation, rashes, or abrasions after you shave. There's also a pop-up trimmer that removes longer or stray hairs, and a bikini trimmer attachment.

Smoothing Strip
Shaving can be hard on sensitive skin. That's why the ES2218VC features a special smoothing strip that allows the blades to cut hair without lingering--and potentially irritating--contact with the skin. By improving the gliding action, this strip helps protect your skin, so all you'll be left with is soft, smooth skin.

Use It Wet or Dry
The fully immersible ES2218VC works in wet or dry conditions. Try it in the shower with lather, or use it dry for quick touch-ups or on-the-go shaving. It's also a breeze to clean. Simply run it under the tap to remove excess hair and then let it dry.

Lightweight and portable, the user-friendly ES2218VC measures 6.3 x 2.0 x 2.4 inches and weighs just 0.36 pounds. It also includes a compact, space-saving charger.

What's in the Box
Shaver, bikini trimmer attachment, and charger.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Satisfied, January 7, 2009

I decided to go with this model because of the pivoting head and the bikini attachment. When I was a teenager, my mom bought me a ladies electric shaver. It was nice for using in or out of the shower, but the battery died on it pretty quick. I've realized now that I hate shaving with a razor in the shower. I just have a shower stall, not a bathtub/shower unit, so it's very cramped and uncomfortable. I wanted something I could use in or out of the shower and that would be quick.

The key thing to remember with an electric shaver is it's not going to give you as close of a shave as a razor. If you think it will, you'll be disappointed. With that in mind, I was VERY satisfied with this shaver's performance. I've tried it now both wet and dry. It is quick to use and easy to clean. It didn't cause the shave itch I normally get right out of the shower after I shave my legs. It worked very well for tidying up my nether region. Again, no itch and it was quick. The attachment was very easy to get on and off.

The downsides to the product are: the switches are a little hard to operate in the shower when your hands are wet. If you are using the bikini trimmer attachment in the shower, you need to go a little slow because wet hair tends to clog things. I can't shave my armpits with this. The skin there is too delicate, so I have to stick to a single swipe with a razor there.

I gave this 5 stars because it exceeded my expectations. It's a much closer shave than my old electric shaver and it's quick - much quicker than shaving with a razor. The results were a bit better than how my legs would feel the day after a razor shave. The shaver is very quiet and easy for me to maneuver in my hands, wet or dry.

Tips: Don't press down hard while you shave - go smooth and light over your skin. If you are shaving dry, pull the skin taut above where you are shaving. You get very good, very close and very quick results that way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very pleased, July 12, 2007

AKP (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Panasonic ES2218VC Close Curves Wet/Dry Ladies Shaver, Lavender (Health and Beauty)

I was hesitant to purchase this shave due to the mixed reviews, but decided to give it a chance for two reasons- first, Panasonic's webpage claims this razor has the sharpest blades (based on a 2004 comparison, I wished it was more recent) and the fact that the replacement blades for my Venus razor seem to get more expensive each time I purchase them. I was also sick of the razor burn on my bikini line, as well as the ingrown hairs. I am very satisfied so far. According to the instructions, the shave should get closer over the first three weeks of use; however, the shave out of the box is a smooth one and I have stopped getting razor burn and ingrown hairs, and the razor is not loud! I am very pleased so far.

2.0 out of 5 stars I want my Remington back, November 9, 2009

By

This review is from: Panasonic Close Curves Wet/Dry Ladies Shaver (Health and Beauty)

I had a Remington wet/dry that finally got outdated and I thought to replace it. I did a lot of research and decided to try this Panasonic. I was really excited when it got here and the first time I used it I loved it and was all set to write a raving review. But I thought I should wait a couple weeks. I am very unhappy with it, as it turns out. I wish I had my Remington back (or got a new Remington). Yes, the Remington is a little louder. But this one is loud too - you can hear both of them from many rooms away. So really, that's not a big deal.

What got me is two things with this one:
1) The sides that hold the razor in place are taller than the razor area. So when you go to get a close shave, the sides of the unit scratch/scrape your leg. It is plastic, so no blood drawn or anything, but it doesn't feel good. Has no one else noticed this? I went to do a quick shave on my calves and ended up with stripes from the sides of the unit scraping my legs. And it didn't even get the little stubble. I didn't think the Remington was that fantastic, but it did better than this. Someone suggested to put the side extenders down. The unit I had did not have extenders, and these side pieces weren't adjustable. If I did not apply force to my leg with the razor, the length of the stubble it left was ridiculous. Again, maybe very long stubble is just the way it is, but not with my two Remingtons. They got much closer without having to apply force.

2) It vents out the cut hair once in a while all over your leg. You could be shaving along la di da and all of a sudden get a huge area of hair. I thought "I already went over that area?" but it was just the hair that got spit out from the razor. It is a little gross, I'm always wiping the cut hair off my leg. I've had two Remington's that did not do this. The Remington might have left the hair on the ground, or kept it in its head, but I prefer the Remington that didn't spit out puffs of hair on my legs incrementally.

Another disadvantage is that this one's charger plugs straight into the outlet, instead of having a cord. So I have to find an outlet to leave it in to charge that my kids won't get to. I like the cord better, so I can plug the cord in behind my dresser and have it sitting on top of my dresser in the little charger base. This one, you have to put the razor in the charger directly into the outlet. I could deal with this though if it didn't spit hair out all over my leg or leave scrapes down my leg. Yes, you could get an extension cord, so it's not that big of a deal. Just one more thing to add to a poor design.
