Product Description

Amazon.com

The high-performance motor and contouring heads of this rechargeable wet/dry shaver from Panasonic combine to deliver a close, even shave--in or out of the shower. The shaver's heads pivots for fluid movement and a comfortable shave. With a 13,000 rpm motor, the shaver is powerful even on thick beards and recharges fully in one hour on its AC charger stand. You can always see how much juice the shaver has by the simple markings on its built-in LED indicator panel. Structurally comfortable, the shaver offers gentle no-slip sides and a comfortable power button. Mounted on the back, a built-in trimmer pops quickly into position for trimming sideburns and jaw lines. Completely immersible, the shaver works in or out of the shower and features a stainless-steel foil surface that cleans up easily. The turbo cleaning mode adds that extra edge of cleanliness. Compact and compatible with universal voltage, the shaver makes a good traveler's companion. --Emily Bedard

5.0 out of 5 stars Best shaver yet!, April 29, 2004

This review is from: Panasonic ES8092NC Pro Curve Men's Shaver (Electronics)

Having gone through a multitude of razors/shavers over the past 15-odd years (Gillette twin-blade disposable > Braun's original > Panasonic single head low-end wet-dry > Norelco Advantage > Mach 3), I am happy to say I've found the last shaver I will ever use. I have a sparse beard that grows relatively quickly, especially under the chin, and coupled with my sensitive skin have a higher tendency for razor bumps & ingrown hairs. Up until the Linear 8092, I'd rate the Braun original the most comfortable shave and the Mach 3 the closest shave, and the Norelco as painfully tolerable. With the Advantage I felt like I was holding a rusty chainsaw up to my face, and charging it was like balancing a bowling ball on a bottle cap. With the Linear 8092, I now have the best of both worlds. It is by far my most comfortable shave ever while being ***just*** below the Mach3 in terms of closeness, but without the far-too-occasional cuts. I liked the idea of going back to wet shaving, but recently have been using pre-electric shaving lotion after I shower, and the results are fantastic - smooth smooth smooth and no cuts. Other major pros: relatively quiet for its high speed; comfortable & ergonomic shape & weight; slick induction charging stand about 1/4 the size of the Braun Synchro's; turbo cleaning mode.

SUMMARY
Pros:
Closest and most comfortable combination yet
Fast & relatively quiet
Ability to choose between soft, medium, and locked flex
Quality construction

Easy Turbo cleaning mode
Small induction charger stand

Cons:
Not ***quite*** as close as Mach3
A bit pricey
Replacement foils/cutter blocks hard to find

4.0 out of 5 stars Works on my heavy beard, April 19, 2004

I should start by stating that I have an extremely heavy and fast-growing beard, that can easily be shaved twice in the same day -- my 5 o'clock shadow ususally comes by 3 o'clock. If I do not shave for three days I have a beard like Yasir Arafat, and if I let it for 10 days it starts heading towards ZZ Top territory.

I've been using a Mach 3 for years, and a Sensor before that. I have tried some electric razors (Braun, Norelco) in the past, but they always tugged uncomfortably on my whiskers, and never left me with a clean shave. I always had to go back over my face with a disposable.

The Panasonic ES8092NC is certainly the best electric I have ever tried. Fresh out of the box I used it on my dry face (it is a wet-dry shaver, you can use cream or whatever your prefer), and it gave what I consider a comfortable, acceptable shave, in just a few minutes. Not quite as close as the Mach 3 but very impressive for a start.

There are different shaving techniques you can try to improve the shave, and after using it for a week now I am very satisfied. The only rought spot tends to be at the base of my neck, hopefully I will figure out the proper technique. In any case for a quick morning shave or an even quicker afternoon touch-up it is entirely acceptable, and well worth the money. If it does this well on my thick beard, I would expect it should perform exceedingly well on "normal" beards. Great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars ES8092 and ES8095, May 23, 2004

Wrote to Panasonic and they said the only difference is the ES8095 is sold at Brokestone and other high end stores. It is the same razor but sold for more to those that do not care about price.
