Review (3/5): not very compact for a "travel" shaver
+nice carrying case
-quite bulky for travel shaver
-sub-par to par shave
-shallow depth of cut on trimmer
my frame of reference is from 5 models of remingtons and 2 panasonics all around the same price point. i buy remingtons at walmart because they are cheap, and the panasonics because i generally like the brand. my generalization that the remingtons are consistently "stronger", cuts a cleaner shave, and lasts longer on a charge whether its with built-in recharg battery or disposables.
i bought this panasonic because it was advertised as "travel". shouldve really looked at the dimensions listed because it is not exactly compact. in fact, aside from the added bulk of the power cord, this shaver is the same size as any entry level dual-foil remington. and those things last for a week or 2 week of use if you dont carry along the cord to recharge.
so this unit isnt exactly better for purpose of travel. it needs to be smaller. the case is form-fitting and quite nice, though
