Review: Close, Comfortable Shave and Great Value — Highly Recommended - I’ve used Braun shavers for as long as I can remember, and my old Braun Series 7 has finally started to show its age, becoming a bit rusty and noticeably less effective. Naturally, I went to check the newer Braun models — and was quite surprised (and honestly disappointed) to discover that the new Series 7, 6, and 5 now feel more like what the old Series 3 used to be: budget-leaning versions of a once-premium line. It seems only the Series 8 and 9 remain true high-end options, and even those come at a steep price. So I decided it might be time to try something different — and I’m really glad I did. The Panasonic ES-LV97 has been excellent so far. The shaver itself feels compact, solid, and very comfortable in the hand (though the shaving head is on the larger side — something to be aware of). The build quality is genuinely impressive, with good materials and a very sturdy feel compared to recent Braun models. One of the best features is the cleaning station. It’s compact, easy to use, and has an integrated reservoir for the cleaning liquid — you simply add water and detergent. Unlike Braun’s alcohol cartridges, you don’t need to worry about the solution evaporating within a couple of days if the lid isn’t sealed perfectly, and it’s far less prone to spilling if the unit is moved slightly. It even includes a drying function, which is a great extra touch. As for the shave: extremely close, smooth, and surprisingly gentle. I have sensitive skin and fairly patchy facial hair, and I’ve had absolutely no irritation or uneven spots. It cuts fast, cleanly, and with minimal pressure. Battery life is excellent, the shaver is quieter than expected, and it performs well both dry and with shaving foam. Even without the cleaning station it’s easy to rinse clean, but having the station makes the whole routine almost effortless. Considering the performance and overall quality, it offers very good value for the price. All in all, a very impressive upgrade and a strong alternative to the increasingly budget-feeling Braun lineup. I’m genuinely pleased with the switch.
Review: Unbeatable smooth shave: Ideal for thick hair - What I like: • Unbeatable smooth shave. I have thick facial hair, and it works very well. • Easy to use: Just shave. • Easy and comfortable to hold • Low Noise • The washing unit makes cleaning super easy. Just pop it in the unit and press the button. It also charges the unit, so no more running out of power. • Comes with a handy travel case that fits well. Keep in mind: • Replacement blades are on the pricey side, at around £50 a set, but they are supposed to last for 1-2 years. • I previously had an older Panasonic ES8249, which lasted me 12 years and was a 3-blade system. Although, this 5-blade Panasonic ES-LV97 is a big upgrade; it's not amazingly better, so a 3-blade might be good enough for people with less thick hair (or people with thick hair who don’t mind spending an extra few minutes shaving). • While the washing unit is great, it takes 80 minutes to do a wash, and the first 10 minutes can get loud! • The manual of the Panasonic ES-LV97 says the battery only lasts for 3 years. However, my previous ES8249 said something similar, and I got 10 years out of it (and then a further 2 when I changed the battery myself, which wasn't that hard).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this razor give a good close shave on older mature skin ??**
A: Davad, here's my review as posted in 10 January 2023.

If you think you'll get a close shave like you would with hand held bladed razor forget it you will not despite what i'm about to say. First off this electric razor has a large head, get used to it! Allow it to explore the contours of your chin and neck, the razor has a nice side to side, back and forward movement or if you prefer a fixed position is available, I hold my razor close to it's head placing my thumb on the rest, with index finger behind the head the shaver weighs in at 198g without protective cover. Panasonic say the battery will last approximately 2 weeks. This may well be true if as stated on page 10 of operating instructions (Based on one 3 minute dry-shave); I don't have heavy stubble even I would be hard pushed to get a nice shave in 3 minutes! The unit is well engineered, good materials used in construction, nicely balanced has a pop-up sideburn trimmer behind the head. My comments are just that, my comments in the hope it helps you choose a shaver for you! Regards, David.

**Q: Interested in this shaver but concerned about the maintenance costs ie foil /blade and battery replacement. Please advise**
A: I haven't had to replace the foil or blades yet. I've been using the razor for about 6 months now and my last shave was as good as the first. You can get foil and blade replacements for about £40, which I don't think is bad. At RRP of £80 it is getting a little pricey, but I think still worth it. As for the battery? I have no idea if it's replaceable or not. I think if it gets to the stage that I think it needs a new battery I'll just buy a new shaver. This is the best electric shaver I have ever owned, and I've owned loads. I love it!

**Q: How well does it pick up and shave flat lying or longer hair?**
A: I've never found an electric shaver which will cut long  hair and I've had various makes. With the Panasonic I use the trimmer to cut the hairs short and then use the shaver to cut down to skin level. The Panasonic does this well. Hope this helps.

**Q: Does panasonic es-lv6u have a uk 2 pin or 3 pin plug? 
if not what does it have, i have a 115v and 230v  2 pin in the bathroom. thanks**
A: Hello,

Thank you for your question and interest in our product.

This unit is supplied with a 2 pin UK plug.

Sincerely,
Your Panasonic Customer Care Team

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Used it for a month now, lovely design and a smooth shave
*by S***E on 15 February 2024*

I've been using the Panasonic ES-LV67 5-Blade shaver for a month now, having previously used the cheapest Braun model for about three years which had devolved into giving me a rubbish shave. I'd always used Braun shavers, but I'm glad I looked around this time. I read the pro shaver-guys reviews, and found out about this. A nice price, great build quality and looks, and it really does give you a very nice close 'everyday' shave. The head tilts around nicely, and I've had no razor burn or skin reaction. The battery life is currently good. It holds comfortably in the hand, and the vibration isn't enough to make your hand tingle or go numb. It's apparently waterproof (untested by me). The box and instructions were very good. There are a few drawbacks: 1) the head feels big at first, like a 'bar of soap' big and took a week of getting used to; 2) it still has problems doing a good job at the top of the lip (under the nose), and in the corners of the mouth; 3) the charger plug is not British (you'll need an 2-pin to 3-pin adaptor for a standard British wall socket), and at the other end it is 'more than clunky' where it plugs into the bottom of the razor. This end of the charger cable is very tough and awkward to get in and out, which is surprising since the rest of the razor is so well engineered; 4) the power indicator isn't very sensitive at the bottom of the range, you just know "20%" left, and that's it; 5) you have to be careful fitting the head back on after cleaning, or the razor in motion can give a sort of chattering sound - even when everything is definitely properly seated and clipped on. I found giving the two main blade-blocks a little soft flick with a fingernail before refitting the foils worked to get rid of this. Possibly a touch of the lubrication oil (included in the box) would also help with this. Other than these small niggles, at February 2024 it's a good affordable choice to get the job done - a nice smooth clean shave every day, and relatively quickly.
