Panasonic Linear ES 8092NC Electric Shaver

Pros: Quiet, fast charging, shaves better than blades, durable in design, sharp looking, waterproof, w/long-lasting blade
Cons: Not "cheap" ($120) and foil needs to be replaced in a year

I bought this shaver after researching the reviews both here and on Amazon. My immediate need was for something that would take the place of my Mach 3 Turbo, as I had decided to go "totally bald." My first impression follows: Physical ...

Pros: Close, comfortable, versatile
Cons: you still have to shave

Ask any male that shaves daily, "what would you pay for the perfect shave"? The most common answers are 'a lot', 'anything', and 'just tell me how much,I'll pay it'. Shaving is basically a primitive act; an all out assault on ones face. With a blade, ...

Pros: Quiet, close shave, light weight.
Cons: None I can see yet.

After deciding to give up my older Panasonic to the shaver gods, I was so impressed with it for so many years, I decided to give my business back to Panasonic. I did however look at the new Braun models in all fairness and came to an impasse where I ...

Pros: Fast, powerful, efficient, and easy to clean. The newest model is very quiet!
Cons: None so far.

I got this shaver for Christmas. My Son, thou hast found the Holy Grail. How much is a good shave worth to you? Especially with no irritation, and zero razor burn? This Panasonic is a wet/dry shaver that gives me spectacular results when I use ...

Pros: Good battery life, clean shave without a "no beard"
Cons: Takes a few passes to get close, center blade causes irritation

This was my first move to electric. In the box there is a little card that says, shave with this razor and only this razor for 30 days because it takes time for your beard to adjust, and you will never want to shave with anything else. Well they are ...

Pros: Speed for reasonably good shave
Waterproof, wet-dry
Comfort
Convenience
Styling
Cons: Longevity
Time for very close shave
Neckline shaving, trimmer all but worthless

Update after six months' usage: I must say that my opinion on this shaver has declined. There seems to be more and more whiskers that this just won't cut for anything - even with Edge or King of Shaves gel (a good product). Also, the unit has ...

Pros: Great close dry shave. Little to no razor burn. Faster than blade.
Cons: None so far (only used 4 times). Will update later.

You know everything you've heard about "first impressions"? Well, believe it. Prologue I've been shaving with the Mach III Turbo, having not used an electronic razor regularly in years. Always pre-heat skin with hot cloth, and shave in ...

Pros: Close shave; wet and dry options; head firmness option (soft); no need for cleaning solution
Cons: Lack of lock setting to prevent inadvertent switching on

I had previously owned a Braun 5000/6000 series electric razor, and had been moderately pleased with the results. While not close as a blade, the convenience (at the time) was worth it. Each razor lasted a couple of years, with the batteries dying and ...

Pros: Smooth, effortless, close and comfortable shave. Fast recharging, charge indicator.
Cons: Expensive foil/cutter replacements.

I bought the ES8092NC to replace my Norelco Spectra. I was sold on the 13000 rpm shaving blades and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they do make your shave much more comfortable and close. I always use it in the shower. I use it with a shaving ...

Pros: Very fast, close, quiet, comfortable shave. Fast recharge and fits nicely in your hand.
Cons: No cons here....

Back in Dec. 99' I wrote an Opinion on the then new Panasonic ES882S Shaver which was one of the first new Linear high speed 12000 RPM available. Now, nearly 5 years later, I've updated my morning routine with this highly acclaimed latest shaver from ...

Pros: Speed, wet/dry, blade angle, independent foils, easy clean up, style, quality
Cons: A little pricey, but you can find it for $150, which is fine.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is by far the most advanced, best shaving electric shaver on the market. Between the 30 degree blade mounting, multiple independent foils, high speed, and wet shave/cleaning capabilities, this thing blows me away. ...

Pros: Wet shave, can repeatedly cover same areas without damaging skin.
Cons: Price.

Well I've used blades for years, but with my sensitive skin and thick beard I had to shave every other day. I always entertained the idea of electric shavers but never had any luck with them. Rotary shavers would get my sides ok, but not my neck ...

Pros: wet/dry, pivot action, very little or no shaver burn, easy to clean, induction charging
Cons: noise (at 13,000 rpm perhaps unavoidable)

I have mainly been a blade shaver using either Schick or Gillette double or triple blades. Occasionally I use the only electric shaver I have which is an old Remington 9000 series double foil shaver. I do this mainly if I have to shave in a hurry or on th ...

Pros: Wet/Dry, Easy to clean, 100-240V, super close shave
Cons: A little noisy

This is indeed a great shaver. I had never used an electric shaver before. I began a search among the top trusted brands for a shaver with the best value for the features I get. The features I was looking for were linear shaver with trimmer, close shaves, ...

Pros: Works well with very coarse hair
Cons: Don't press too hard!

I have been using Braun shavers for over 10 years (switch to electric shavers after my face went numb after surgery...long story). Overall, I have been happy with Braun, I knew that my facial hair grows very fast and very coarse, so it was okay, at ...
