I bought the Panasonic ES8097A for my husband as a birthday present. He's an engineer-type gadget man who appreciates good design and functionality. In fact, he pretty much picked it out for himself and then hinted in a rather obvious manner. He is delighted by its pivotty head and seems to like the LED display. I've stolen it twice for my legs and thought it shaved pretty closely and it was very easy on contours. It's also got a nice weight--doesn't feel flimsy. It seems to be worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars The end of expensive straight Blades, August 3, 2005

I'm one of those guys who just hates shaving but because of my sales job I need to be clean shaven. For some time now I've been using the newer and expensive three blade straight razors from gillette. Those razors don't come cheap and can be tough on your face. Over the years I have tried many electric razors in an effort to move away from the tradition straight razor. I have never been satisfied with those electrics ability to get a close shave and not leave a bunch of stray hairs on my neck. Finally I have found an electric which has surpassed my expectation. The only thing I think Panasonic could do to make the razor better is to find a way to get my facial hair stop growing. It's a tremendous razor!

I had a lesser model that just wouldn't charge any more so I purchased this one. In comparrison, they are exactly the same. The only difference is the digital front face and outside cover. The only negative reason that I couldn't rank it as a five is the price. Take my advise. This is one great product but is very pricey. Go for the more inexpensive floating head shaver. (The shape of all of their float heads are the same. It's the same product. Just different packaging. Get the cheaper one.)

I really had a difficut time trying to adjust back to a blade while I was waiting for this to arrive and it really made me realize how good this product is.

By the way, I opened up the older one and found that there was some water that got in and probably was shorting the charging system. After drying it and letting it sit open for a day, she works just as good as before. Now I have a back-up.
