Close Shave March 5, 2010
D. Dell (USA)
I have bought and used at least 4 different brands of electric shavers over the years. My latest one finally gave up so I decided to try this Panasonic for a change.
This razor is much better than most others I have tried. The main advantage is that it provides a much closer shave. I also like being able to use it wet or dry. Plus, cleaning it with liquid soap is easier and more efficient than trying to brush the heads clean. The only down side I can see is that the battery does not last quite as long as some other shavers. However, this is a minor inconvenience and not a problem.
I have read a few reviews saying they could not get a close shave or it cut their face. I have not had any of these problems. Yes, it does take time for your skin to adjust to a new razor. However, I had no irritation from day one. Plus, I am getting a very close shave. I thought that I would have some problems because of my fair skin and I have always had trouble getting all the hairs on my neck. But, I had no problems at all.
Therefore, I highly recommend this razor based on my personal experience.
 Tempted To Shave Things I Shouldn't February 15, 2010
L. Sims (Independence, KY)
I'm 53 with a history with Norelco and Remington. Neither inspired me to re-purchase their brand again and each time I went back to blades for a time. This time it's different. I've had this Panasonic since Christmas ... using it every day for about 7 weeks now. I wanted to give it a fair test before writing this review.
1. I had no trouble getting used to it. It was comfortable from Day 1.
2. The noise level is significantly lower than my previous electric shavers, though quite a bit louder than my blades except for my weeping and wailing when I cut myself.
3. The battery lasts at least 5 days without a re-charge or slowing down even a little. I've never used it longer than that without recharging so I don't know how long it will go.
4. Shaving dry is good ... I have to cover some spots 2 or 3 times to get a clean shave, but I consider that normal for an electric and the end result is comfortable and smooth.
5. Shaving wet is where this razor really shines. There's a slip of paper Panasonic puts in on how to clean the razor using hand soap and running water. Not only is this amazingly simple, I use it as a shaving technique as well and this is where the title of my review comes from. It works so well, I don't want to stop with my face, I just want to keep shaving shoulders, arms, etc. it feels sooooo good. I'll just leave it at that.
Those are the issues that are important to me in an electric razor. I plan on maintaining and replacing this one with another Panasonic when the time comes.
Smooth shave, battery lasts a week February 6, 2010
Giuseppe A. Ippolito (Buffalo, NY)
This is my second ES8043. The motor delivers as close a shave as you like. Cleans easily. Battery lasts a week before charging, assuming a shave of 5-10 mins. per day. Blades and foil probably could go 2 years before replacement, but I find that you will notice an improvement in your shave if you replace after 1 year. Overall, I have been quite pleased with this product.
 Bald Head Shavers February 4, 2010

If you shave your head don't waste your time or money with this shaver. It does not give you a close shave and cuts other parts of your head unevenly. Had to go back over spots multiple times.
Do not waste your money January 28, 2010
newtonmausa (Newton, MA USA)
I bought this shaver in Aug 09 after reading the reviews on Amazon. This shaver will only give you a good shave if you spend a lot of time going over problem areas (neck and chin for me). If you need a quick and clean shave, you will not get one with this razor. Most importantly, you can NOT use the shaver while it is being charged. You have to wait for it to charge up before you can turn the darn thing on! Extremely inconvenient if you lose the charge in the middle of a morning shave! The replacement cutter and foil cost about 75% of the cost of a brand new shaver! Outrageous! Also comes with the world's cheapest travel pouch and cleaning brush. In Januray 2010 (the day before I am writing this review) the battery malfunctioned and only holds the charge for three or four shaves! Called the factory and they said "send the shaver in at your expense, and we will replace it in two weeks!" This means I have to go buy another one to use while I wait for service. You can be sure it won't be a Panasonic!
