Best shaver you've never heard of
I'd like to add my review for this excellent unit as it seems to not get the attention it richly deserves.
I've extensively used and tested numerous electric shavers the past 2 years. I've used every major model and many lesser known products from $15-$280, including the newer wave of products such as the Braun Pulsonic and Norelco Arcitec.
The Panasonic ES8228S is the shaver on my counter and the one I use everyday.
A marketing problem for Panasonic is that typ...

If you have sensitive skin, you should give this a try
I have very sensitive skin on my neck, and until recently I couldn't shave every day. A few months ago I began trying different shaving products and techniques in hope of finding something that would work for me. For the last three weeks, I've been wet-shaving with this shaver and Billy Jealousy Hydroplane shaving cream with no irritation to speak of.
No, this shaver doesn't shave a close as a blade, but since for me the alternative was shaving every second day, it's way closer than...

One of the Best Foil Shaver
I've been using this Panasonic electric shaver with nano blade technology (ES8228 or ES8109S) for the past 2 months and love it. Without exaggeration, it gives me the closest shave ever, and I've been using the top of the line electrics from Norleco and Braun for over 20 years. I have compared the Panasonic shaver with nano blades with the Braun Pulsonic and Norelco Arcitec and found that the Panasonic gives me the closest shave. You just can't beat the price.

Panasonic quality at its finest!
First off, I don't own this Panasonic ES8228S model, I own the 8109S, but the only substantive difference is that the 8109S is slightly cheaper, is black-and-chrome and does not have wood trim. This is my third Panasonic wet/dry shaver in about 5 years and, by far, this one is the best one yet. I've experimented with other manufacturers' shavers over the years, including Brauns, Norelcos and Grundig shavers, but I've ultimately found nirvana, ok, not quite nirvana, but a most pleasant shaving ex...

Great shave, disappointing longetivity
What seems to make this a good shaver also makes it vulnerable to premature wear. Yes, it gives a terrific shave, nearly as close as a wet blade, and better than any other electric I have tried.
Evidently Panasonic makes the outer foil quite thin to achieve this.
After only about 3 months of 'on and off' use, the outer foil on my 8228 wore through completely.
Another downside is battery life. I can only get 3 complete shaves before having to recharge the battery.

The shaver works great, but the shaver is quite loud
I just bought es8228s week ago, my first impression: the shaver is very very loud, Everything else are all excellent. After a week using it, I'm kind of OK with the louder shaver.

Top of the line!
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I've owned Panasonic Shavers previously and have always liked them. This shaver, by far, surpasses any shaver, of any brand that I have ever used. It is lightweight, can be used wet or dry, shaves very closely, holds a charge for nearly 2 weeks!, has an automatic cleaning base, and is beautiful! I know two other guys who also got this shaver, and they feel exactly as I do... *****!

WELL WORTH THE INVENSTMENT
I've been using electric shavers for years and have used the Remington Titanium for the last 2. I finally decided it was time for a new shaver but had a very difficult time spending $150.00 + for a shaver. After all, how much better can it be than my $40.00 Remington. I finally gave in a decided on the Panasonic ES8228S rather than the Braun Pulsonic. (I refuse to spend more than $250.00 for a shaver). Long story short, I am extremely satisfied with the Panasonic. It provides a very close shave ...

The Lexus of Shavers
I have been an electric shaver user for over 15 years, and have not found anything that comes close to matching the Panasonic ES8228 for overall quality, and ability to provide a true razor close shave, My last 2 were Brauns(Synchro and Activator). I was very impressed with this product right out of the box, fit and finish are flawless. And yes it is made in Japan not China and the quality shows it. It is a precision product.
My first shave I noticed 2 things right away after years of bein...

Panasonic ES8228S wet shave yes
I purchased this shaver based on reviews. I don't like it as a dry shaver. My beard is stiff and the shaver head is rough on my skin when shaving dry. Also doesn't cut hair quickly dry shaving plus foil can get a bit hot. Wet (shave cream) it does a good job, cuts very close, and isn't as rough on my skin. Replacement cutter and foil are a little pricey. Cleaning unit does fine. I am comparing this shaver to a Braun Pulsonic 9595 and Braun 360 Complete both of which I own and rate much higher as...
