This is a great shaver for use in the shower. With a light coat of shaving cream, I get the equivalent of a shave with a blade. I have a tough beard and sensitive skin so shaving has never been one of my favorite pastimes. The Panasonic ES7017S now makes this ritual tolerable and even pleasureable. My only complaint is that the off/on switch is awkward, and, with wet hands, nearly impossible.

That is wonderful not having to care about wetness around, when you shave. Or to do it in the bathtub. And how practical to wash with water your shaver... I own one, for the second time one after the other and I will buy again one: it is really nice to shave wet! P.S.: And no problems in tropical countries.

My old 2 blade Panasonic Shaver was not giving me the close shave it used to so I started shopping for a new one. For the price, I thought this was a good deal and decided to go for it. It cuts through my beard like swiss cheese and afterword my face feels as smooth as a baby's bottom. The charge lasts a long time and the charge indicator is helpful in letting you know when its getting low. Clean up is easy using lotion soap. This method has kept the shaver from smelling funky like my old one. One complaint is the on button being hard to use when wet because of several factors such as it not being raised enough to get a good purchase on and the amount of force needed to move it. Also, a chunk of the foil came off while using it. But, I think this is because I had dropped it a couple of times and dented it. The foil is NOT covered under the warranty and costs about $25 so be careful.

When I first got this razor I thought it was the greatest thing ever. It's completly waterproof, so cleaning it is simple, you just run it under the water and add soap. It also gave me a really close shave, which was what I was looking for.
Unfortunatly the razor refuses to charge, and I'm not sure why. Because the razor cannot be pluged directly into the wall, it is completly useless. Hopefully I just got a bad one, and everyone else's works fine, because this was a very nice razor, when it worked. I would however not recomend buying a razor that cannot plug into the wall.

This is a very good shaver - except that it suddenly stops working, even when I follow the owner's manual religiously. I bought my first one last fall, and after about 3 months, it stopped taking a charge. The replacement lasted about 2 months before the same thing happened. Now my current replacement shaver (#3) just quit on me with no notice, so I'll have to call Panasonic again to get my FOURTH shaver in about 8 months. If this happened once, maybe twice, I'd chalk it up to bad luck. But FOUR defective shavers? ...so I figure this has a design flaw or poor quality control. By the way, my previous older model Panasonic wet-dry shaver worked just fine for over 2 years... DON'T BUY THIS SHAVER!!!

I like to shave in the shower, and Panasonic's wet/dry shavers seem to be the only available choice. They do work great . . . until they fail spontaneously. They have the most amazing warranty expiration detectors. Every Panasonic shaver that I owned managed to fail within 3 months after the warranty expired.

There are two varieties. The cheaper shavers have a clip-on charger. On those, the clip will break. The more expensive ones use an induction system. Those will simply fail to charge after the warranty expires.

I was looking for a shaver that had as many of the features as possible for under $50 for Father's day. My wife had already purchased a Norelco for me, when this shaver popped up in my Gold Box ... You have to get used to it, especially if you shave with a razor like I did, but I'm really liking it. It's wet/dry, easy to clean, 1 hr charge in the base, quiet. Oh, and I took the Norelco back. I would recommend this shaver.

This is my first electric razor and I now keep a good close shave. Up till now I've just bic'd it off without trying to get it close. I cannot compare it to any other electric razors, but it is especially good for me around the mouth and chin. It is actually smooth around there, and I have never experienced that before, and if I were in a position to kiss a girl I could do it with a free conscience. It is not so good on the neck which I've heard is a drawback of these foil style razors. I now shave every day.
