Panasonic ES-SL41 Milano Wet and Dry 3-Blade Electric Shaver for Men (Silver)

I have used a Braun Series 3 shaver for many years, but with arthritis now affecting my right thumb, it has become painful to use. This little Panasonic shaver is just the job. For £23 it is a bargain. It feels a bit cheap, but it is also very light and the on/off button and side trimmer work really easily. Most importantly, it gives me a closer shave than the Braun with less effort!

Needed a replacement shaver when my other one died just at the end of a shave. Much more compact than my previous shaver, but I like it in that it doesn't take up much space and the footprint when on the charger stand is small so can be tucked away on a desk in a power point and not take up to much space. So far a good shave.

Great value product ! Was going to buy spare parts for the same Panasonic shaver I bought some time ago - but it was better value to buy a newshaver !!

The razor is excellent and very efficient, the only thing I find irksome is that is much cheaper to buy a whole new razor than buying the spare foils or cutters.

Very flimsy, quality not as good as previous ones that I've had

This is proving a bargain so far. I needed a light and manoeuvrable electric razor after complex surgery. This works very well. It's quite a close cut, long life battery and easy to travel with etc. Comes with a handy charging stand and can be used wet or dry.

The shaver does a reasonable job but to get an acceptable result it is nowhere near the quickest and I'd estimate a third longer than the time for a 'five blade' wet shave. Having said that, it's reasonably quiet and, even taking into account the extended time factor, you can get several day's shaves before needing to recharge it. It has a pop out sideburns trimmer. There is a clip on stand with on/off button guard and a charger with two pin plug. You can use the shaver wet with shaving gel/foam in the shower, rinse it off in running water or use totally dry when you've no sink available and clean with the little brush supplied.It seems to be a little plasticky in build and I would not be surprised if it broke if wet hands dropped it on a tiled bathroom floor. The instructions are a little vague too especially in respect of the charger. While my charger evidently works ok it doesn't exactly perform as briefly described.Remember, It only cost £25 so realistically what can you expect, it works, useful especially when needing a shave without access to sink and gel but not as smooth a chin as a wet shave.

I missed out on a special offer for a cordless Philips shaver at my local supermarket store, so I purchased the Panasonic on Amazon as it was pretty much the same price. At first I wasn’t sure if the foil bar design would perform as well as the more common 3 circle cutters found on Philips shavers. I had been using a corded Philips shaver, but honestly the Panasonic gives a much closer shave, so I’m happy and very impressed. I haven’t tried the wet shave yet as I’m used to dry shave only but hope to try that out soon. The only downside I find with the Panasonic is that it takes 12 hours to charge, and the charger is fitted with an EU plug. Luckily I had a compatible UK converter plug but I tried using a different one and it wouldn’t work, so a UK fitted plug would have been more convenient. Also - use the sideburn cutter section with caution as it cuts hair back very easily!
