Best for head shaving
I love my ES-LV65 5 blade shaver, Fantastic for shaving my head. Great for my sensitive skin and is so quick. Does the job much quicker than my old 3 blade shaver. Gives a smooth result with no razor burn. I am very happy with the way the shaver contours to the shape of my head. I am looking forward to taking my ES-LV65 with me with I go overseas.
very smooth finish

Awesome bit of kit
Wouldn't go back to a Braun Pulsonic now that I have used the Panasonic ES-LV61.
Subject.
- 43 year old male, olive skin.
Background.
- Have always used the latest Braun pulsonics until last weekend (22/12/12). I dropped into the shaver shop ready to get a new Braun and the new Panasonic was recommended instead so I thought I would give it a go in the store against the Braun. When younger I used to use heaps of non electric razors. I also tried a phillips rotary once but was too harsh on the skin and didn't pick up some stubble, so...Read more
until recently have always used and updated Braun models regularly and that was my weapon of choice. Appearance. - Irrelevant, if you're the type that intends to wear it as a pendant around your neck maybe it matters. Read one article carrying on about looks etc and how the panasonic lost out against the Braun/Philips in the looks department....... "It's a flaming razor, it's job is to cut hair" enough said !!!!

Shaver is almost 3 years old, and quite regularly it becomes rough/vibrates while shaving. It sounds like the motor is speeding up (not as much as when sonic-cleaning but very noticeably). Switching it off/on again fixes it for a while.
I decided to see what was happening by carefully unclipping the shaving head WHILE it was doing this and I could see one of the cutters was vibrating very roughly while the other was still operating smoothly. Wondering if this just due to worn cutters/foil or is there a mechanical reason within the shaver itself?
The cutters/foil ARE due for replacement but I have replaced them several times in the past and don't remember this symptom before with worn parts.
I always keep my last set of parts as a backup just in case so I popped those in and it did the same thing so I suspect the issue is probably in the shaver. If that's the case that would be quite disappointing for the shaver only to have lasted 3 years.

So... my question is, has anyone else noticed this with one of these shavers? And if so, do you think it's repairable?
The battery also needs replacement, which apparently is quite easy and would cost about AU$40 if bought online, but I'm reluctant to spend money on a new battery and new cutters, if the shaver itself is on its last legs.

The difference is the absence of Automatic Cleaning and Charging System with Panasonic ES-LV61. Since Panasonic Arc 5 is fully washable with wet/dry shaving features it is only a matter of convenience while deciding between the two versions. You need to manually clean with ES-LV61 which is not hard at all but even better with automatic cleaning system of ES-LV81.
