Rating:  - No Blood and a Close Shave
I feel a little ridiculous writing a review about a shaver; even so, this is the best electronic appliance I've bought in YEARS. I compare this shaver to my first Microwave oven and my first color TV set. Like a lot of guys, I figured my choice was (1) put up with blood spewing from nicks and cuts, esp. around my chin and nose; or (2) razor burns from electric shavers that would leave broad patches of beard unshaven. This razor rocks! I use it wet, with either soap or what's left of my canned shave cream. I use it daily, and use it like a grid (across and then up and down, or visa versa --it' morning and I don't give a damn). From day 1 I got a decent shave, and only once (day 3) I got carried away and drew a few pricks of blood. It never happened again. I love this product. I hated shaving, but hated the itchiness of a beard even more (not to mention the comparisons of me to Jesus Christ, which is even more disturbing to a secular humanist like myself). This shaver does the job,isn't noisy, won't burn your skin and no longer does the water run red. Next, I want a 1/2 inch deep color monitor, 40 x 60 feet, without any loss of color or depth perception.
Rating:  - Panasonic ES8036N Men's Shaver
I purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my husband. I waited almost a month for it to come in. I just received the shaver two days ago and I was thrilled because my husband really needed a real good shaver. Well, the next day, he tried it. It gave him a very close shave. I would say that the shave was excellent except for one problem. The shaver was extremely noisy. It sounded like a chain saw in his hand. You could hear him shave from all over the house including the outside. The noise the shaver was generating was just too much (it would drown out the television) so I regretably returned it back the next day and purchased a different Panasonic shaver - ES8003. This new shaver felt the same except the noise was nowhere as bad. I had to pay more money for the new shaver, but my husband is pleased and if he is pleased then I am pleased too. We would have kept the Panasonic ES8036N if it didn't make such a racket. My husband felt too uncomfortable shaving with such a noise maker (he was really embarrassed).
Rating:  - Good Dry - So-So or worse, wet!
This shaver is excellent dry, ie: the best electric shave I have experienced, close, comfortable, fast. Used wet, however, it leaves vagrant whiskers especially in the neck area. This is true whether you use a preconditioner, foam or gel. I would suggest that you use the tap to just clean the unit and be grateful that you can now keep an electric razor really clean.
