Review: A VERY WORTHWHILE UPGRADE - The Panasonic ES-RF31 Wet & Dry four blade men's shaver was a replacement for my older Panasonic ES8183 3-blade wet & dry shaver which I had owned for around 8 years of totally, totally trouble-free, dependable use. Unfortunately, the old shaver died as a result of being dropped onto a hard floor once too often:-(. My old Panasonic shaver made me a devoted fan of Panasonic wet & dry shavers. I have also used Philips and Braun products. No electric shaver can come as close as Panasonic shavers in delivering a close dry, or wet shave. I would go as far as to say that when used as a wet shaver it can deliver as close a shave as many wet razors! I use my Panasonic in preference to a wet razor shave on my face and it really is as close a shave as a wet razor. My replacement, the ES-RF31 is absolutely no disappointment (and an improvement in most areas) compared to my trusty old ES8183. I shave my head every day and also have a full daily body shave too. I use the ES-RF31 to dry shave my face and head, then finish off with a Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 wet razor on my scalp. Sorry to say, even Panasonic wet & dry shavers haven't yet got as good as a blade at shaving the scalp. I like my head to be billiard ball smooth so I find the best approach is to shave first with my Panasonic, then finish off with my wet razor of choice. Mostly, the Panasonic is absolutely fine shaving my face dry and produces a very, very smooth finish. Occasionally though, I wet shave my face with the Panasonic too. That gives me an ultra smooth finish that is every bit as good as a wet razor shave. It's a shame I can't replicate that on my scalp as I would happily ditch the wet razor on my scalp. I also shave my body with the ES-RF31 in the shower, every day. It works great, but I am careful not to over wet the shaver even though it's a wet & dry product. To be honest, I have every faith in Panasonic's wet & dry shaver products to stay completely waterproof, but I like to be a little careful, just the same. I have owned my ES-RF31 for a little over two months now. It consistently delivers both dry and wet shaves that are better than my old ES8183. I can achieve a slightly closer shave, a little quicker, with the ES-RF31. The floating finishing blade attached to the head appears to do a good job too and is not just a gimmick. The shaving head uses the same pivoting technology as in my old ES8183. It simply works perfectly, no ifs, no buts, it works thanks to superior Japanese design. In fact the shaver is undeniably a big brand Japanese product. It works well, it does what says it does, it is well built and if it lasts like my old ES8183 will give me many years of completely hassle free, reliable shaving. The ES-RF31 is much quieter than my old ES8183 in operation. The design of the case of the ES-RF31 is better to hold (for me) than my old Panasonic was. I miss the digital readout display in the body of my old Panasonic. I could have got that if I wanted to pay more for a higher specification model. The ES-RF31 has three LED's to indicate the amount of battery power left. It works fine, but I was spoiled a little, I guess, by the digital readout on my old ES8183. There is no charging stand with the ES-RF31, again I feature I enjoyed with my old ES8183. I think that's a really useful addition and I would have liked a charging stand at this price point. If I have one minor criticism concerning the design and operation of the ES-RF31 is that the bulk of the shaving head can be a little difficult to manipulate in those awkward areas. But, this is minor and perhaps to be expected when having the comparative luxury of a four blade shaver. Overall, I'm very, very pleased with the ES-RF31. Another terrific Panasonic shaving product at a price that puts both Philips and Braun to shame. I highly recommend Panasonic wet & dry shaving products and the ES-RF31 in particular for its capability and quality versus the very reasonable price.
Review: great shaver but steep learning curve - After using this shaver for 3 weeks I can now confirm that it gives a good close shave - as good as a wet shave. 5 stars for the shaver design then. However, it has required a lot of researching websites (shavers.co.uk etc) to find out how to get the close shave. The first shave was not good. It turns out that swapping from a wet razor (Wilkinson Sword 4 blade), I had to allow the top layer of skin on my face (which is removed every time you wet shave) to grow back. Sure enough, after a week of electric shaving things did improve. Next issue - how to use the shaver. The great thing about this shaver is that it is completely waterproof so you can use it in the bath or shower, just like a razor. As with a razor/wet shaving I am finding that prepping my face with plenty of hot water softens the bristles, and I can then apply shaving cream etc. I have found drying my face and applying Lab Series pre-electric shave works best. I shave against the grain, as recommended. Shaving requires a lot of going over the same spots, particularly on the neck, but is not causing me any razor burn or soreness (I think the pre-electric shave + softened bristles are helping a lot here). The shave is really close and the pre-electric shave leaves my skin feeling nice and soft. After shaving it is easy to dab a little shower gel onto the top of the shaving head, switch on the shaver and wash it out under the shower - job done. Once a week I am cleaning the shaver with Braun Cleaning Spray to keep everything running smoothly. The shaver holds its charge for about a week, shaving once a day, and then needs roughly one hour to re-charge. So why only 4 stars? I think Panasonic just need to explain a bit more about how to use their product. Maybe add some anecdotes on their website and explain what types of shaving products can be used either wet or dry.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Return to Electric Shaving
*by S***N on 21 May 2016*

I gave up electric shaving some years ago as it was a slow and unpleasant experience. I have used the Gillette and Wilkinson Sword multi blade razors ever since, but I did suffer from skin irritation. I recently read an article about shaving and it stated that men who used an electric shaver had less skin irritation. I found this hard to believe considering my previous experience. Having done some online research I discovered that electric shaving had changed for the better. I discovered that the best electric shave for me was a wet shave with a foil razor, but which razor. Sadly it is not possible to try an electric razor before purchase and they can be very expensive. After reading many reviews on Amazon and other sites I decided that Panasonic was the brand for me. I choose this razor because it is a reliable brand, its robust and it has a flexible shaving head which is good for shaving your neck. The other reason I choose this razor is the amazing price on Amazon £56. The full price is £160 and it is being sold by Boots for £133. Most shaving sites state that it takes about two weeks for your beard and skin to adapt to electric shaving, so I approached my first shave with some trepidation. However my first shave was an instant success. I washed my face and applied three drops of King of Shaves oil and shaving was a very smooth experience with no discomfort. I do feel that it is much easier transferring from a blade razor to a foil electric shaver because the shaving action is very similar. The only difference is you are shaving against the grain. It is now about three weeks since I started using the electric razor and the skin on my face has improved, no lumps and bumps. I am now getting a closer and far more comfortable shave and I will not return to a blade razor. I recommend this razor because it is well made, it has no gadgets and it is very easy to use. Also it is very cheap on Amazon.
