The HydraClean system keeps your blades fresh and ready to go. | Pivot Action and Nano Technology for Close, Comfortable Shaves
The cutting system is equipped with two foils and a center slit blade which all float independently. The shaver's pivoting head rocks up and down, and back and forth, allowing the blades to form and follow every contour of your face for an even more soothing shave. You can even adjust the amount of pivot based on your preference with the Pivot Action Selector. In addition to providing maximum comfort, the ES8109S delivers a remarkably close shave. While conventional shavers offer a range of 45- to 90-degree blades, the Vortex comes with the sharpest blade angle at 30-degrees -- great for precision cutting. The ES8109S Vortex blades, already the industry's sharpest, were polished to an even finer cutting surface with Nano technology, providing the closest overall shave from any electric shaver. The blades are driven by a Linear Motor, a patented system that spins at 13,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), making the Vortex one of the fastest razors on the market. This shaver effortlessly powers through thick beards with less pulling and irritation. The motor also maintains its power throughout the charge so your last shave is just as powerful as your first. Staying Fresh with HydraClean
As you know, there's nothing worse than a messy razor. Luckily, Panasonic knows this too, and they've created a winner with the HydraClean Cleaning System. Panasonic's HydraClean system keeps your blades fresh and ready to go. This powerful and intelligent cleaning system includes automatic charge, clean, and dry functions, which refresh the shaver for its next use. Included in the base is a heating element that will dry the entire shaver head and then fan dry any leftover moisture. This system uses a water/detergent infused cleansing process instead of alcohol for safe effective cleaning of the razor, which means no more ugly build-up of whiskers and residue that reduce the shaver's performance. Wet and Dry Convenience
Several other features make this shaver a must-have for those seeking a high performance shaving solution. Like most Panasonic shavers, this unit has wet/dry technology, so it is fully immersible under water. Use it in the convenience of your shower, lather up, or go dry the choice is yours. A pop-up trimmer is accessible with the push of a finger for grooming moustaches and sideburns. The LCD Battery Monitor lets you know how much charge is remaining at all times, and with its automatic international dual voltage conversion feature, this razor will fulfill shaving needs here and abroad. For a quick and easy way to clean the razor away from home, the Vortex also offers a Turbo Cleaning Mode. Press and hold the on/off button to shift from 13,000 RPMs to an impressive 17,000 RPM, then simply rinse the shaver under water. The super-fast spinning blades will rush water through the razor, cleaning out hair, dust, and other debris in no time flat.

Summary: Best electric razor I've ever used!
Comment: Now, I suppose if you buy this razor thinking it's going to cure diseases, fix your car, or get you that long sought-after menage a trois, then your expectations are too high and you're going to be disappointed. Reading some of these reviews, I was prepared to find your average electric razor.
This is the third electric razor I've owned and second Panasonic. I look at these Brauns and Remingtons and they just don't seem to be worth it. Especially Brauns. $200 or more for a razor?! Seriously?
I use electric razors because my beard requires hot steam treatment prior to shaving with a regular razor. It seems like no matter what I do, whether it's using special shaving cream, hot wash cloths on my face, the finest disposable razors, etc, that I get nicks, ingrown hairs, and general irritation if I use a regular disposable razor. So, I turned to electric razors.
No, you don't get as close a shave as you would with a disposable. But, if you didn't know that, then you've never used an electric razor before. However, all of that being said, this is the best electric razor I've ever used. I've used it for over a month now and am extrememly satisfied with it. The shave is close and smooth. The razor is easy to use and versatile. As I said, I have a tough beard and sensitive skin. This razor does the best job with those weird little hairs on my neck and has yet to give me an ingrown hair.
It's not "one-pass shaving" that's for sure. But, then, I don't know an electric razor that is. But it is pretty fast, I think. And smooth. The pivoting head is easy to use. And, the flip trimmer on the back can take care of those pesky longer neck hairs as well as trip up side burns. I even use it to even out my mustache and goatee between trims.
The charger/cleaner is easy to use and does a great job. I wish it was faster. I love the complaints about the noise it makes. I mean, seriously? Where do you live, in an isolation chamber? For those of us that live in cities near other people and stuff, I don't think this is noisy. It certainly isn't nosier than my television. But, I used this for over a month and cleaned the razor each day. The filter lasted around 30 days, as advertised. My razor was always clean and ready to use the next morning.
I think this is an excellent razor. And, with the discount Amazon is giving, I think it's a no-brainer to buy it. I got the whole thing with another coupon for $75. Maybe that's why I like it so much. In any case, it really is the best razor I ever bought. So glad I got it. Too many nitpickers around here complaining about stuff that doesn't matter.

Summary: Best Shaver I Have Ever Used
Comment: I have used a razor blade type shaver (two & four blade) for over forty years and thought I was getting a good shave. The fact is that this electric shaver beats the razors hands down and it does it without burning my face. The automatic cleaning cycle is very nice as well. I let it clean the shaver every third day. I use an inexpensive electric pre-shave and that works just fine. I do not shave with this electric shave in the shower, but could if I wanted to do so.

Summary: Almost as close as a blade
Comment: Bought this to replace a middle-of-the-road, one-year-old Braun 4775. The shave quality on this Panasonic is WAY better than the Braun. Compared to a brand new, out of the box blade, the blade will shave closer. But compared to a blade that is a couple of days old, this is at least equal, and compared to a four day old blade, the Panasonic is superior. I do get a few nicks from this each day, but none are enough to need to do anything to staunch the bleeding or otherwise address the issue (which is more than I can say for a 3 day old blade). I use it wet with shaving cream, but not in the shower, since I have no place to put it in the shower when I'm not shaving. Not a perfect shave, but over time, will be far more economical than buying two expensive blades a week. I've also had it 3 weeks and have not used up the first cleaning cartridge yet, and I clean it daily, so that seems to be good too.

Summary: Great
Comment: Bought this as a replacement to a four or five year old Panasonic wet-dry. Improvement over the old one, but not sure if its due to the shaver or just new blades. Haven't gottten around to the cleaner device thingy. Not sure if I ever will. But I have come to love the Panasonic shavers over the years. I use use it daily (or almost).

Summary: Average Performance At Above Average Price
Comment: I traded from a dry shave Braun electric rechargeable unit to this. My Braun died due to age and use. In regards to shave closeness, I think my old Braun has a slight edge. The ergonomics of this shaver is very well designed and better than my Braun. The hydraclean system, self cleaning, is a nicety but is not a critical need in my opinion and is probably why it is priced the way it is. Number of shaves between recharge is about average but my old Braun out performs the Panasonic in this arena as well. If you are a simple guy looking for a decent shaver at a good price, you can find just as good or better at a lower price. I classify this product as one that the wife would probably buy as a gift for your father-in-law....beats getting another neck tie I suppose.
