This is one of the nicest electric shavers that I've owned and the first wet-type shaver. I have previously owned Norelcos for over a decade. The original Norelcos (made in Holland) were fine but the recent ones have pathetic quality and they literally pull hair! It is painful! I eventually gave up trying to use my replacement lift-and-cut Norelco and decided to try out a high end model that cost close to two hundred dollars. Bad idea - you don't always get what you pay for! I was not quite happy with that either and after a two year haitus with disposable Gillettes, decided to try a wet shaver. I took my chance on this one, based solely on the reviews here. This is the very first "wet" shaver I've used and absolutely love it. It gives a close enough shave but not too close. You can use it with whatever shaving cream you use.

Note that the Panasonic manual encourages using the cheapest foam type (not gel), Barbasol like stuff with this shaver. It also comes with a basic carrying pouch and the cleaning is as easy as it can get (just wash the thing under tap water). They really meant that this unit is washable. It is recharagable, lasts seven days on a charge, and costs less than replacement blades for competing brands. The build quality is excellent. The charger is a very clever design that gets the shaver completely off your counter space. You cannot go wrong with this. Amazon has a great value here. Sometimes you get more than you asked for and this is one of those rare things. Highly recommended.

[Hey, my first Amazon review!]

I bought this shaver a some weeks ago. This is the first time I've tried a wet & dry type shaver, and I gotta tell ya, I LOVE it!! My previous one was a Braun (I prefer the single head shavers) normal dry shaver, and if I wanted a really close shave it left my skin a little sore from the extra friction.

But washing with a little soap and water just before using this shaver, I get a beard that's soften up a little by the washing, and then this shaver glides over the soapy lather like silk!! My shave is close every time, and my face is *very* happy I found this shaver.

There's a bonus for me. It has a faint buzz you can hear over the normal hum when it's actually cutting off hairs, so I can tell when I'm shaved clean just by the sound of the shaver. Works great for cleaning up those few die hard hairs on my balding pate where I can't see - no buzz = no stubble.

I just came back to buy another one of these (to leave in my travel kit - I keep it fully equipped so I can just grab it and go). And I read the review again from the mach 3 guy and I just had to put in my 2 cents, since I disagree with him so strongly. FWIW, I notice that he doesn't mention this shaver explictly, just touts the mach 3. Hmm, I wonder if he really tried this shaver.

I was looking for a lightweight simple wet/dry shaving device that had inexpensive replacement foil and blade assemblies. The Panasonic WES9941P fit perfectly. Gives a nice shave, and it's so easy to clean. It replaces my old Braun single head linear. (I like the Panasonic better.) The batteries supply over two weeks of shaves on a single charge. Give it a few weeks of shaves to break in to cut real close.
