Panasonic
Arc5 Five Blade Cordless Electric Razor
Check Price
Bottom Line

A long-lasting charge on a razor that covers a lot of area quickly and provides Panasonic's closest shave earn this model our highest marks.

Pros

The symmetrical alignment of the five blades makes for a nice feature that covers a lot of the face quickly. The battery can last as long as three weeks on a full charge without losing any shaving power. We are impressed by the close shave provided by the 14,000 cpm motor, as close as what is available from many manual blades.

Cons

Charging the battery too often may shorten the life of the battery.

Arc4 Four Blade Cordless Electric Razor with Linear Motor
Check Price
Bottom Line

The four-blade alignment avoids irritation and razor burn while offering a close shave in a unit that includes a useful LED alert system.

Pros

The 13,000 cpm motor gives a close shave without leaving any rash or bumps. The LED readout not only tells the current charge level of the razor, but also alerts if the blades need to be oiled or changed. Stainless-steel multi-fit Arc4 foil provides a close shave.

Cons

Long beards may require trimming before use, as the razor may tug slightly on longer hairs.

Best Bang for the Buck
Panasonic
Arc4 Four Blade Cordless Electric Razor with Dual Motor
Check Price
Bottom Line

This model combines the closeness and convenience of a four blade alignment with a motor that matches the power of some higher priced models.

Pros

The four-blade alignment offers a fast shave without irritation. Comes with the long-lasting battery and wet/dry convenience of other Panasonic models. This model stands out for the 14,000 cpm dual motor, which rotates the blades and the head of the razor simultaneously for an impressively close shave.

Cons

The head is slightly bulkier than some Panasonic razors, making it more difficult to navigate, especially on smaller faces.

Panasonic
Four Blade Cordless Electric Razor with Pivoting Head
Check Price
Bottom Line

Four blades and a powerful motor offer a close shave in a model that includes a pivoting head for maximum flexibility.

Pros

We love the maneuverability of the pivoting head on this model. Users are able to reach those tough angles on the face without sacrificing any shaving power. The 14,000 cpm motor equals the most powerful Panasonic motors.

Cons

While the pivoting head helps with chin and face angles, some users report it makes it more difficult to get a close shave on their neck area.

Arc3 Cordless Electric Razor with Pivoting Head
Check Price
Bottom Line

Three blades provide enough coverage for smaller faces while maintaining the power and flexibility of larger Panasonic models.

Pros

A 13,000 cpm motor provides good power to this smaller Panasonic model. The pivoting head offers great maneuverability, especially in a model this size. Waterproof for wet/dry shaving.

Cons

Users with larger faces may find this model too slow for their liking.
