Panasonic Electric Shaver for Women, Cordless 3 Blade Razor, Pop-Up Trimmer, Close Curves, Wet Dry Operation, Independent Floating Heads - ES2207P

I only just recently got this, and normally I wait a few weeks before reviewing a product, but I have to say that this exceeded my expectations and I am so happy with this product that I feel it's only right to just review it now. I used to buy a much cheaper (1/2 the price of this) wet/dry shaver, but I had to keep buying them on an every-other-month basis (at least) because they would die. They also gobbled up batteries. I was still fine with using them and budgeting for them because they were so cheap, but we are about to go on a much longer family beach vacation than we normally stay, and since my last cheapie electric razor just died, I really wanted to get something way more reliable (but not bust the bank). Plus, I was tired of buying batteries for something like this. I figured out quickly that I'm not saving much money if I am having to replace batteries often. When using any kind of electric shaver as opposed to regular disposable razors, I always figure it's just a given that you're never going to get as close of a shave. For me, this is actually a good thing. I unfortunately grow coarse leg hair really fast - as in, right after using a nice, new (and expensive - I don't buy cheap ones), disposable razor head, by mid to end of day I already feel a little "stubbly". The double whammy for me is that if I use a razor too much (more than every few days), I get massive razor burn and ingrown hairs faster than the blink of an eye no matter how many different techniques I use (special shaving lotions, moisturizing shaving creams, exfoliation first, "shave with the grain then against technique", etc...trust me, I've tried it ALL!) to carefully shave. It's super frustrating. When getting a decently close shave but not SUPER close shave, I don't get the razor burn or ingrown hairs. Especially in areas I do NOT need that to happen. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. At 40 years old, I would have thought this part of my life would get a little easier. Nope. Sorry for all the TMI, but if you are a woman who was unfortunate enough to inherit horrid, rapidly-growing coarse leg hair genes like me, I think you will appreciate this electric shaver like I do. The price is right, and if you have to do something similar to what I have to in order to make sure you don't feel like you are a freak with leg hair that seems to have a mind of its' own (aka, the "MUST-GROW-FAST-AND-FLAP-IN-WIND-ASAP" type), then this is honestly a really nice, happy medium. It gives the closest shave I ever had with an electric razor. Extra bonus points? Straight out of the box, it was all charged up and ready to go. And..."Look, Ma! No Batteries!" Just charge it after shaving. No stupid charge cords, either. Plug the charger in, and stick the shaver onto the charger. Done. I also comes with a handy little travel pouch. Another reviewer mentioned that you can't fit the charger and electric shaver into the pouch. Actually, you can. You just have to put the charger in first, then with (very light) maneuvering, you can throw your shaver in there too and pull up the drawstring. The little brush it comes with easily slides into it, too, which brings me to.... Cleaning? As far as I can see (and used), if you use that little brush to clean it out after shaving (which takes all of MAYBE 10 seconds?) it is super easy. I am impressed for the price. I shaved with it dry, straight out of the box (for at LEAST 10 minutes), and my hubs touched my leg and was...like, "Hey, baby. You feel nice." I think that is all the testimony I need, really. I dry shaved out of the box and my hubs was happy, and stuck it on the charger right after. Several hours later, it is working great. I will update this review if something starts going downhill. I know it is probably too soon to tell whether this will be super reliable for a long period, but I honestly believe this will be fantastic for our upcoming beach vacay. ***UPDATE*** I have been using this for months, and it still works great! Very happy with the performance of this item, and it has more than paid for itself (compared to how I had to constantly buy batteries and a new cheapie electric shaver every so often before).

Works really well, it was pre-charged when it arrived but I still put it back on the charger for 12 hours as per the instructions before using. Gives me a pretty close shave (not as close as a regular blade of course!) and combined with a few new products I've begun using, I haven't had ANY razor burn or ingrown hairs for the past 10 days since I started using this instead of shaving. Amazing since I've always had problems with razor burn/irritation/ingrown hairs "down there" after shaving. I use this to remove hair in even the most sensitive areas (I like to be clean shaven but it's just personal preference) and haven't had any problems with nicks or irritation at all. So basically I'm saying you don't just have to use this as a bikini shaver, you can go ahead and get that brazillian look too if that's what you're into. Again, this won't give you the same closeness or perfect smoothness as shaving with a razor or waxing BUT for me personally it's worth using because it doesn't give me ugly red bumps or scars. I'm very happy with this purchase. I was planning on buying it for $25 but let it sit in my cart for a little while and bought it when the price dipped down to about $16. Really amazing deal for that price, but if this one breaks or I lose it, I'd be willing to pay $25 for a replacement because I'm that satisfied with it. Some people have said to go for a men's electric razor instead but honestly men's razors are so expensive because they're mainly for use on the face... Manufacturers know they can charge a little less and give you a slightly inferior product when you're just using a razor on your hoo-ha and legs. So yeah, good luck finding a decent mens electric razor for less than $20. The only thing I'd improve would be that the little trimmer part is permanently on, you can't remove it to just use the foil shaver part, so that's a little cumbersome to work with in tight spaces. However, the little trimmer blade that's closest to the buttons in the picture pops out to give you the ability to shape the outline of your bush if you want, which is pretty nifty. I use this dry and I haven't tried it wet. I highly suggest just using this on clean, very dry skin. I wouldn't suggest ever dry shaving damp, sweaty, or moist skin, or you'll end up with irritation. *****Also, for those of you who are new to electric razors, instead of using the included brush to sweep away hairs inside and outside, I suggest getting a can of dust remover spray (you know the canned air stuff that you use to clean between the keys on a keyboard!) and blow away the hairs and dust with that instead. There are some fragile pieces inside this electric razor that could break or be displaced with too much pressure and the fibers of the little brush can also get caught in the foil (which is like $10 to replace if you happen to dull it with the plastic from the cleaning brush).*****

I'm writing this review after 7 years of use. This is a great little shaver. It's easy to use, does a great job, and makes quick work of those pesky hairs. A full charge lasts a couple of shaves of legs and armpits. I gave 4 stars because I wish the charge lasted just a little longer.

Different bodies, different skin, it stands to reason every lady will have different types of hair too. I have dark blonde hair, but my leg and armpit hair comes in between thick/thin, and dark black. When I was a kid, my mother taught me to shave with a hand held razor blade--10-15 years ago, electric shavers couldn't compare at all. Especially with my leg hair. I tried one, once, an itty bitty thing on my legs and all it did was pull hair, scrape my skin and leave an awful red road-like rash. So back then (eons ago, when we women clacked rocks together to communicate) I dismissed electric shavers entirely. This Christmas (2013) I was lucky to have the family gift me a few extra dollars to spend on my own gifts. I started thinking about the fact that I shave less as I get older, and the utterly ridiculous prices on razors for women, razor kits--and wondered--how much has changed in electric razors from my rock clacking days? This shaver caught my eye. 1.) Perfectly and reasonably priced. Wet and Dry--meaning if I was taking a shower or bath I could weed wack my legs into some semblance of smoothness or if I was just running out the door and was starting some five o'clock shadow I could fix it up and keep going. 2.) High ratings and reviews from the lovely people of Amazon. So I said, "Let's do (sheer?) it!" Arrived really fast--four days; packaged perfect. No damage to the package or the box the shaver came in. Relatively simple and easy to open with no-nonsense instructions. First thing I noted was how super light and perfect it felt in hand. Second thing I noticed is that it recommends replacing the inner blade ONCE. A. YEAR. Comparing to how much I spend on razors a week/two weeks--I am seeing saving myself dollar signs. Second thing I did was IMMEDIATELY put it on it's charger and let it sit all day. I read an earlier review that said to make sure it was fully charged for the better shave and use. So--fast forward to night time, I hop in the shower and make sure to soak my legs, armpits very well and let the steam from the shower work a bit before grabbing this baby and going to mow-town. Turning it on revealed it didn't sound like I was in a nest of really loud, really angry hornets--so that was an immediate plus. I used shaving cream on my legs and arm pits and began shaving. Legs: Not a single issue. No leg hairs were pulled, mangled or caught. I didn't cut anything and nothing stung. Arm pits: 1 arm pit went smooth as baby bottoms. The other armpit I noticed that some of my skin was getting caught/immediate red bumps rash. I'm pretty sure that it's the shape of that armpit, because I have used the razor every night since then and the same spot catches. I am sure that the shape of your legs, your skin type and body hair type, how long it's charged and how clean it is all contributes to how well this razor works or not. I haven't had any red bumps/rashes or pulled skin on my legs EXCEPT for the one armpit. NOTE: I haven't tried this razor on dry skin, and I am not sure I will because the results in the shower with shaving cream is almost exactly like that of using a hand-held razor. Too long: didn't read summary: I would recommend this razor for ladies with light to medium thick body hair. It works like a charm in the shower/bath with shaving cream. It's remarkably affordable, the rechargable batteries can be replaced with better ones if you like, and it's easy to handle. My legs are smooth and it's already saved me money. Check it out, kay?

No sh**, this product changed my LIFE! Of all the hundreds of purchases I have made on Amazon, this is my absolute FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!! I no longer keep any razors around, this electric shaver has replaced them FOREVER! I use this for legs, underarms, bikini area, etc. BOTTOM LINE: It is SO much easier and quicker than traditional shaving and just all around BETTER. Razors always got me that close shave, but left me with irritated and inflamed skin 12-24 hours later. This electric shaver gets me incredibly smooth skin (ALMOST as close as a razor!!) with absolutely none of the resulting irritation. BONUS - my hair doesn't feel as "prickly" when it grows back like it did when I was shaving with a razor. A few notes on how I use this product to get the best results: After a bit of experimentation, I now use this only on **completely** dry skin (aka NOT after a shower or even within 30-60 minutes after a shower). I was never really interested in trying out it's wet shaving capabilities, but when I have tried on damp skin a while after a shower, the shaver does NOT glide across the skin and is pretty much rendered useless. This is not a fault of the product of course, rather this is pretty much to be expected. Sometimes I just forget to to shave before my shower. Moving on. ****I recommend using the trimmer first if the hair you are shaving is any longer than 2-3 mm.**** For legs: If my hair has grown a bit long I start out with the pop-up trimmer and glide that along my legs (if not I skip to the next step). Then I go back over the same area LIGHTLY GLIDING along my skin with the foil. THEN, if I want an extremely close shave, I go over the skin yet AGAIN but this time pressing down a bit more. Even though I go over the same areas several times with this process, it takes less than two minutes to shave my legs. For all three steps, I use the shaver AGAINST the direction of the hair growth. For underarms: I *press* the foil piece across each underarm area two or three times, going in a different direction each time. Thirty seconds and they are done. Boom. For bikini area: I usually only use the trimmer piece for this area and I *always* go only WITH the direction of the hair. Thirty seconds. Ok, why the need for the detailed directions? I recommended this product to a girl friend of a mine and she HATED it! I still can't for the life of me understand how anyone could dislike this product. She claimed it didn't work...?!?! What a shame. I didn't bother giving her the instructions I laid out here because after all, she did insult my favorite product of all time! (Joking but also serious) My shaver has stopped working twice since I bought it. The first time was after, instead of cleaning it with a damp rag, I dunked it under a faucet (still don't fully understand what happened). Second time was after dropping it on hard ground off a 3 foot counter. Both times I thought it was a goner for real. But instead of throwing it out right away, I let it sit for a while (not in the charging stand) and both times, 24-48 hours later, when I tried the power switch it magically turned back on like it was never ever mad at me in the first place. I'm just madly in love with this thing. When it does reach the end of its life, I will not hesitate to buy the exact same model again. Do yourself the greatest favor of all time and buy this product. Experiment with it to determine how it works best for you.

This is my first time purchasing an electric shaver and so far I am happy that I did. I would give it 5 stars, but I don't have any experience with other shavers to be able to compare it. I am just over 60 and the hair on my legs isn't as heavy as it used to be, but I really wanted to try this because I have a red blood dot (don't know what it is called) on my leg and if I knicked it with a razor, I would bleed for about 2 days, so shaving my legs was a major annoyance. This shaver is almost as good as a razor. In reality the closeness of a razor only last for a day anyway. I can go right over the red blister and not worry about cutting it. I am on a learning curve still. Discovered you still need shaving cream or soap with the shaver. I like the fact that you can take it into the shower and that it is meant to get wet. Very easy to clean also. This will travel easily and charges up right at the outlet so it doesn't take up counter space. The color is pretty too. I would recommend this shaver and I am happy I purchased it. I read the reviews of all the shavers and thought this one sounded the best. It also has the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval and that means a great deal to me. UPDATE 4/14: Hadn't used my electric shaver for a while. I wanted to use it today, and the battery is dead and will not charge. I didn't really use the shaver a great deal, so I suppose if you do not keep charging it up, it might go dead permanently. Just thought I'd give an update.

This nice little shaver certainly doesn't give quite as perfect a shave as a decent razor with good shave cream, but with a little bit of care, moving it slowly over the skin, and by going over the heaviest areas twice I can get my legs good and smooth and make my pits look as good as they're going to at my age. The double-ended cleaning brush (long soft bristles on one end and short stiff bristles on the other) makes cleaning easy. Honestly, I wasn't sure I'd be happy with a cheap electric shaver after decades of using five blade Venus razors, and I'm sure there are much better ones out there, but between the low price, being able to shave anytime, wasting less hot water, and feeling smug about saving a TON on blades and high quality shave cream I'm really happy with my purchase. A tip if you're switching from a standard razor: make sure that you're pressing the foil against your skin, not the trimmer or the edge of the head. It took a few shaves for me to realize that the rough results I got at first we caused by my lifelong habit of tilting one side of a razor against my leg, but I played with the angles a bit and found that laying the foil as flat as possible against my skin and moving the shaver fairly slowly gives me the best shave. I don't use it in the shower because it doesn't seem to work any better or worse than dry, so I can't testify to how well it works wet. I was a little worried about the battery because of some negative reviews, but it has held up for a year and a half and I can easily shave my moderately hairy legs and armpits twice before the blades slow down. I do charge it the full recommended 24 hours after it starts to run down because that's what the maker recommends, and if I decide to use the razor for a week or two for some reason I top the charge off before using it again. I never had it catch at my skin or pull hair--at least until last week, when my thumb slipped when I got distracted while cleaning the head and the foil was almost pushed right out of its frame. I managed to lift the foil up with a small sewing needle and coax most of its edge back under the frame, so it still works okay, but because the foil got creased and there are now some gaps along its edges it snags a hair a few times per shave. It turns out that Panasonic sells replacement foil for less than ten dollars with free shipping, but at Amazon's current price a new shaver is just five dollars more so, I'm buying another and will save the old one in case the new one gives me any trouble. Bottom line: a highly recommended solution for those who aren't inclined to pay a fortune for a fancy-shmancy shaver.

Bottom Line: this is the BEST Electric Razor I have ever bought. I buy a new one every two years. I use it so much the battery and blades give out. For the price, even replacing it every 2 years it is a bargain ! The long story. When the kids leave the nest, somehow the whiskers move in. First a few, and you tweeze. Then they call their friends and have a block party. Next thing you know there is a Rave on your Chin. So you tweeze more. Then the hair moves in on your neck. Who cares, it is soft and blond, no one can see it. Then in hardens and curls ! Curls, I have had pin straight hair my whole life and NOW I get curls. So I tweeze more. So I spend 45 minutes a day hunting and tweezing and cursing. Who has time for this, and now the next thing you need. Ingrown hairs ! That is right, if you don't get the whole hair out and exfoliate your skin, those little hairs growing back, and decide to grow back down. Growing down causing a big fat pimple. Ok now I have curly hair and pimples again ??? Ok, I know what to do, I will get the hair waxed ! Well that means you have to grow out the hair. How fun, so now you have a 5 o'clock shadow. No matter how much make up, powder or what ever, you know it is there, and you can feel it. So off you go to the salon. You are lead to the back of the salon (so they can not hear you scream) . They clean your face, put hot wax on your face and RIP the hair off your face. Sounds fun right. Oh yes, you know that flabby neck, it gets flabbier because they really pull on it while removing the wax. Your face is bright red, and you can not wear make up for hours. Next Step is Threading. Well this will be better right ?? The hair does not have to be as long, and it does not hurt as much they say. I really want to know who "they" are and if "they' ever had their neck threaded. Ok, so you get to sit in a Kiosk in the middle of a Mall, where pretty young things get 5 hairs threaded from their eye brows, and they spend 20 mins getting your neck, chin and lip done. Then there is the sad face saying, "that is all we can get today." Ok so I break down and get an electric razor. I get a 'good' men's razor $$. It left about 1/2 of the hair. The I got a men's rotary shaver, and it chewed up my face, no make up could cover the red. Then I got a foil men's razor, and it was not a close shave at all. I had to shave twice. THEN TaDa, I got this cute little pink razor, which is made for woman, go figure. I charge it every day, and shave every day, and am happy every day. I have not used it on my legs or anywhere else. I am thrilled. The hair on my face is firm, and I use it every day, I am sure that is why it lasts 2 years, but at less than $20 a year I am thrilled.

Where was this product all my life!????? I am trying to leave smaller footprint. One of my issues was always the shaving razors, gels, lotions and wasted water is shower when getting your legs done. This little gadget solved all my problems. It shaved in shower but also dry. Now that I have used it, I prefer dry shaving. No irritated skin and it’s a zip, less then a minute and legs are shaved. Shaved very well and if you want a closer shave you just have to go a bit slower and press more firmly. Don’t worry it won’t cut like a razor as it has a protective net. I was able to totally eliminate razors, shaving gels and creams and batteries with this from my batheroom, it teachers and holds charge for very long time. It does a very good job under arms and bikini area as well without the razor burn, ingrown hairs or irritation. I so happy with this, i ha Erik’s my friends about this and have purchased several now for all my besides! They all love it as well. Best part is, I’m summer whe life gets hectic no one wants to shave daily.... I can just pop leg on toilet or sink and quickly shave in 30 seconds. Wonderful product, very good quality. Hope it lasts long. Although I was not able to see where I can find replacement blade if needed.

The shaver came with an American charger rather than a European one so I can't use the shaver.

Me encanta está genial. Lo he usado en seco y es súper fácil y rápido. Hay que leer las instrucciones; para un afeitado al raz; hay que mover el aparato de arriba hacia abajo en la piel. Su tamaño compacto y su funda lo hacen práctico para viajar. Me parece genial que no usa pilas .Es fácil de limpiar y el precio (en rebaja) fue lo mejor. Le pedir un jueves y llegó el miércoles.

Japanese design & Japanese quality, very good.

The product was unsuitable for Australia. It was for American power . I would of had to buy a transformer at a considerable cost. There was nothing on the web site when I ordered it that said it was an American product. However the company is giving me a full refund. I believe that this product be deleted from their web site due to the fact it is unsuitable for the Australia as other people have used this product with serious consequences eg product blowing up. . N
