## Overview

The Panasonic ES-LV81-K Arc5 Men's Electric Razor is a top-tier grooming tool featuring 5 ultra-sharp blades, a powerful motor for rapid cutting, and a convenient automatic cleaning and charging station, designed for both wet and dry use.

## Description

The Panasonic ES-LV81-K mens electric razor includes a five floating, hypoallergenic blade system for close, gentle shaving even on sensitive skin. Each ultra-sharp blade in this electric shaver has been forged and honed to a 30° edge for exceptional durability and sharpness. And the Panasonic shaver's ultra-thin Multi-Fit Arc foils and pivoting Multi-Flex shaving head glide effortlessly along the face, neck and chin. The precision Panasonic ES-LV81 uses a 14,000 cpm linear drive motor which maintains peak power and performance up to the end of every battery charge for even shaving. Ergonomically designed for total ease and control, the ES-LV81-K Arc 5 shaver is also 100% waterproof and wet/dry shaver convenient. When you're in a hurry, the electric shaver provides a quick, smooth dry shave. This advanced shaving machine is designed to be 100% washable and fully immersible in water, too, to perform just as efficiently in the shower or over the sink using your favorite shaving foam or gel. A handy pop-up trimmer adds the perfect finish and detail to sideburns, mustaches and beards, and a LED in the Panasonic shaver's sure-grip handle shows battery status, charge indicator and cleaning and replacement reminder for blades and foil. Cleaning is quick and simple. Just rinse the Panasonic Arc5 under running water and power on to remove or use the included Premium Automatic Cleaning & Charging Station to wash, dry and charge the mens shaver, keeping it ready for the next shave. For grooming away from home, the Panasonic LV81-K comes with universal voltage, AC adaptor/charger and a convenient travel pouch.

Review: AMAZING! A HUGE leap forward in electric shaver technology... I wish I could give it more than 5 Stars! - For the past ten years, I have bought each new Panasonic Electric Shaver... whatever their Top-Of-The-Line Model currently was... always upgrading to the "latest and greatest", with each marketed "improvement" that Panasonic touted every couple of years. I went from the old "Pulsonic" line... following the trend from 3 blades... to 4 blades... and about two years ago upgrading to the very expensive ($400 at the time) "ES-LA93" series with 4 blades at higher RPM. Honestly... while each new Panasonic shaver was a SLIGHT improvement in performance over the previous generation (and always moderately superior to whatever Braun was selling... yep, I tried those also)... the disappointment came in realizing that even the Top-Of-The-Line electric shaver was somewhat lackluster in its performance on my hard-to-shave beard, due mainly to the numerous slightly in-grown hairs on my neck. Even on the easier-to-shave areas, I still found myself having to press down with some force, while pulling my skin taught, and going over and over and over the same areas to get a decent shave. I had just resigned myself to the fact that this was the limited inherent nature of electric shavers... the world's best shaver was widely accepted to be that Panasonic 4-Blade Model ES-LA93 that I used every day, and that was just "as good as it gets". No amount of money could buy anything better, as we had apparently reached the limits of technology with the Panasonic ES-LA93. I could either accept that... or return to the messiness and occasionally bloodiness of an old-school razor blade, like countless generations of men before me had used. AND THEN... along came the Panasonic ES-LV81... with its newly-engineered 5-Blade Cutting System. WOW! This thing is unbelievable. Now, I know what you're thinking,,, because it's exactly what I was thinking... "So it's got 5 blades instead of 4... big deal... that cannot possibly make it more than 20% better... yet another SLIGHT improvement... who cares?" Well, fellow electric shaver fans... WRONG! It's NOT about the number of blades with this ES-LV81... it's about the huge leap forward in the FOIL design. Unlike the previous generation's (ES-LA93 model) foil... this new ES-LV81 model has something Panasonic calls a "Lift-Tech Foil" which is brilliantly reverse-tapered to slide UNDER those hairs that want to lay-down-flat on your face. (And as a side-note, it is also MUCH quieter than the previous model, and it feels lighter in the hand). For my first shave with this ES-LV81, I let my beard grow for 3 days to give it a good challenge. It glides over my face far more smoothly than anything else I've ever tried. Amazingly, it is not necessary to press-down with significant pressure (as I had to do with previous models)... it just glides lightly and leaves a clean path behind. Yes, I still have to go over problem areas repeatedly... but not nearly as much as before... which leaves my neck and face far less red and irritated. I was absolutely amazed at how much quicker I could complete a shave with this latest and greatest model from Panasonic. It easily reduces my shaving time by at least 30% versus the previous model... plus it does so with a light touch and a far greater level of comfort. The ES-LV81 is also available without the optional cleaning and charging stand... which is called the ES-LV61... and that one at this time costs about $38 less. You still get the same great model of shaver, but you have to plug it directly into an electric outlet to charge it, and you have to clean it yourself (which is very, very easy) using liquid soap and running water (which is exactly what I do to clean it daily when I am traveling). I know this is an expensive product... (Retail: $600... through here on desertcart, it's nearly half-off at just a bit over $300)... but seriously... if you use an electric razor, you need to put down whatever you are using now, and buy this Panasonic ES-LV81. It is flat-out amazing, and just a huge leap forward in electric shaver technology, due to this new "Lift-Tech" foil design. You will not be disappointed. It's not just a "slight" improvement as previously-introduced new models were... this one is a dramatic improvement over previous models. You will notice it right away... within a few seconds of starting your first shave with this magnificent electric shaver.
Review: Does it work and is it worth it? - Overall ------- Yes it works great and it may be worth the price for you depending.... For starters, I have a thick beard and a sensitive neck area to the point where many razors and shavers irritate my neck too much to use, and I use this shaver every day. It does a great job, and doesn't irritate my skin. So Who is this really for??? -------- This shaver is for people who have a thick beard that want a close shave, (wet or dry). It's great with sensitive skin, but if you have a light beard, going one model down will save you money and you wont notice the difference, (I used the 4 blade for five years and loved it.) Pros ------- + Great, clean, close shave (wet or drv this is about as close to a blade as I've been, and I've tried most shaver models.) + Easy on your sensitive neck, though you must give it a month to get used to it + Self cleaner charges and cleans with no thought or effort from you + Extra blade cuts through thick beards faster, and a bit more cleanly, even after a few days of stubble growth + Charging station is convenient and ensures you have a clean charged shaver every day, saving you time in the morning Cons -------- - It's expensive, but for me it was worth it. -The extra blade wont be noticed on a medium or thin beard, go down a model for those Other Considerations -------- + The shaver is very easy to clean as it is waterproof (liquid soap, turn it on, rinse it) without the charging station, which really is a positive unless you don't want to pay for the station, (the cleaning station is not a must have, but i like it). Final thoughts -------- With a thick beard and a sensitive neck that has hair going in many directions, this is by far my favorite shaver. i do enjoy the convenience of the cleaner though I didn't have one with the last model and it was fine. Also if you have a lighter beard or even a medium beard you'll likely not notice a big difference with the 4 blade model, (but a thick beard will enjoy the difference).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ As good as it gets?
*by W***K on February 1, 2012*

Ok, let's get one thing straight: this shaver is not worth an MSRP of 600 bucks. Unless it literally shaved for me - even if it shaved for me - it wouldn't be worth that kind of dough. But on Gold Box deal of the day? Well, it was still expensive. That's the only reason I took off a star; it's a relatively expensive item vs. the competition. That said, in every other aspect, I love this shaver. Pros: - A base that works!: I was hesitant to get the base, but since it was part of the gold box deal, I bit. in the past, I've used the Braun bases, which make you buy a solution that evaporates quickly. You didn't have a choice but to replace it on a regular basis. The Panasonic base has a concentrated solution that mixes with water you put into a reservoir in the base. I believe it only mixes when you set it to clean. This is obviously a big savings if you don't feel the need to use the cleaning function on a daily basis. And since this is a wet/dry shaver, you can wash it on a daily basis, and save cleanings for special occasions. It also allows you to just dry the blades and head, so it seems they anticipated this. - A close shave: Dry, it performs marginally better than my old Braun. It took some getting used to - the 5 blades make you feel like you're shaving with the side of a brick, and it feels difficult sometimes to get to the smaller parts of your face, like your upper lip. However, it is much more efficient than my old electric. Wet, however, this thing is amazing. I took it into the shower, no cream or anything, and got the closest shave I've had in years. And no burn. - Easy to clean: just pop off the screen, rinse the blades using the sonic vibrating mode, rinse the screens, pop it back on, stick it in the base to dry. You can use soap on both, or use the base cleaning. Very quick and easy. - Lock: This is handy if you pack your shaver. It locks it's ability to turn on. - Charges quick: didn't think this would be that big of a deal, but it's actually pretty handy if you travel. Cons: - Cost: Wow, this is expensive. It's expensive on sale. - Travel pouch: It is leather-like (but not really leather), so I guess one could claim it is premium in some sense, but I prefer the hard case of my previous shaver. If I'm dropping 300 bucks on a shaver, I don't want it to get inadvertently crushed in my bag. - Ergonomics: they aren't horrible, but they certainly aren't the best. It's a very head heavy shaver, so when you've rinsed it, shaking off excess water makes you feel like the head is going to come off. I have no reason to expect that it will - it is well made - but just the weight distribution gives you this sense. The floating head actually makes it difficult to shave sometimes, though there is a position lock, so if that bugs you, you can always lock it in place. - Trimmer: I guess this is partly attributed to the ergonomics, but the trimmer is underwhelming. It's slightly difficult to use, even if it cuts fine. All in all, it's a great shaver, albeit at a very high price. My gripes are a bit nit-picky; none of those are make or break problems, just annoyances. If you've got money to burn, and really need a shaver, you'd be hard pressed to find a better one.
