Have tried Norelcos triple-blade, no good. Tried the top of the line Braun, seemed to take too long to shave, and had to go over the same area 5 times to get a close shave (also VERY noisy)! The Panasonic Arc IV is very quiet, I can ACTUALLY HERE the stubble being shaved, and shaving only takes 5 1/2 minutes (I know this, because the shaver has a timer). I clean it in the stand 4 times/week, which keeps the shaver looking new every time I use it. I like not having to press it hard to my face, to get it to shave close (head is spring loaded, to give the correct amount of pressure). I just bought the cleaning cartridges, 3/$12.70 on Amazon subscriber program, and will have them sent every 6 months. Face still feels shaved after 8 hours (this is very strange, but nice).
Panasonic ES8249S Arc IV vs. Braun Series 7- 790cc vs. Philips Norelco1090x Arcitec (SHOCKING UPDATE AT END OF REVIEW !!!!!)
Ok,gonna be a long review so I won’t get into too many details about the 3 razors specifics,which may be found in other 5 star reviews.
A GARAGE boss said a man who suffered burns when brake fluid ignited was injured in a prank that went wrong.
Police and ambulance crews were called to Manor Service Centre, on the Manor Trading Estate in Benfleet , after 20-year-old trainee mechanic Harry Smith, from Southend, suffered burns to his hands and legs.
Another colleague, a 29-year-old man from Shoebury , was arrested on suspicion of GBH and bailed until January 19 next year, but the business owner says it was just an accident.
Steve Mendes, 50, who runs the workshop in Armstrong Road, with his brother, said: “This was just two boys messing around and it was a complete accident, there was no malice in it at all.
“Harry has been kept in hospital so he can be monitored to make sure he doesn’t get any infections.
“The boys were larking around with the cleaner outside the workshop and somehow the fluid ignited and it burned Harry’s hand and the back of his leg.
“Both of the boys are at fault and both feel guilty. Everyone is a bit upset, but we are all pulling together. We are all really close here.â€
