Review (5/5): The Best
The ES8243 without a doubt is the best electric razor I have ever used. This is my second panasonic, the first being the ES8095 which I purchased about 5 years ago and thought it was the best at the time. I will keep that one for a backup. The ES8243 in my opinion shaves as close as a blade with no irritation. I do not use it in the shower so I cannot comment on the wet shave capability. The only improvement would be to add an induction charger like the 8095. With that said, the charging unit is small so that helps. If your are looking for a non rotary electric razor you cannot go wrong with this one. One final comment is that I have cut my shaving time in half plus I get a closer shave.
