The Panasonic that we know today is vastly different than the company that Konosuke Matsushita first established. The company that now brings us Panasonic Electric Shavers, started out in 1918 in Osaka, Japan as a small electronics company producing electrical components. Then, in 1935, Matsushita established the Matsushita Electric Trading Co., Ltd. Under this brand name, the company soon branched out into the manufacture of audio equipment and other product lines, and flourished.
The Panasonic name was launched in 1955 as a product brand name for their exported audio speakers. It wasn’t until 2004 that ‘Panasonic’ was chosen as the brand name to represent the entire company. And, they soon launched into the personal grooming market as one of their many product directions.
The Panasonic electric shaver is considered by many, to be one of the best electric shavers in the world. The company has adopted Braun’s foil concept, and have added their own signature design enhancements to create an electric shaver which consistently rates among the top selling electric shavers in the market. Their wet & dry electric shavers are packed with features that provide value and comfort, as well as a clean, close shave.
Panasonic is a company obsessed with the pursuit of perfection. Let’s take a look at the 3 models that make the Panasonic electric shaver one of the world leaders.
Panasonic Electric Shaver-Your Choice 3, 4 or 5 Blades
Three Blades
The base level is the ES-LT41-K model. This electric shaver features a three blade system of floating heads to give you the ultimate in close shaves, with a maximum of coverage, even on the trouble spots.
This rechargeable wet and dry electric shaver has Nanotech, hypoallergenic blades that are set at 30 degrees in order to provide you with the closest shave possible, and the floating head design allows you to glide over the contours of your face quickly and effortlessly.
However, the floating heads are simply an option. You can choose to use them, or not. The electric shaver comes with a switch that allows you to lock the heads into position, removing any give and take, providing you with a rock-solid electric shaver.
The powerful linear motor in the ES-LT41-K means the blades have the ability to achieve a rate of 13,000 cycles per minute. This translates to less pulling and tugging at your beard, leaving you with a clean comfortable shave.
While the ES-LT41-K is fully washable, it also has a feature that makes this electric shaver even more hygienic and sanitary. It features a sonic vibration mode to help you in the cleaning process. Simply hold the power button on for a few seconds. The blades will vibrate and free up any beard trimmings that have been caught in the electric shaver, then turn off the power, remove the foil, and rinse the electric shaver clean. That’s all there is to it.
The battery life is astounding, and will last you easily all week, so you may not even need to charge it if traveling. Even when the battery indicator is reading 10 percent left, your electric shaver will still be good for a few more shaves.
Four Blades
The first step up in the next Panasonic electric razor is the ES-LF51-A. This brings all the features of their 3 blade electric shaver, but ups the ante by utilizing a 4-blade (arc4) shaving system, which provides more foils for greater coverage, and a corresponding reduction in shaving time.
The linear motor in the ES-LF51-A is stronger too, this electric shaver runs up to 14,000 cycles per minute, (the fastest on the market), giving you a close, comfortable and irritation-free shave. Cleaning the ES-LF51-A is a snap as well. It uses the same sonic vibration technology as its younger brother, enabling you to clean it thoroughly in seconds.
Also, like every Panasonic electric shaver, it comes with LED indicator lights informing you of battery and power usage, a travel pouch, a pop-up sideburns trimmer, and the switch-lock button allowing you to lock off the shaving surfaces and prevent them from floating.
Five Blades
This additional blade provides you with the greatest shaving coverage in the Panasonic range.
With the 5 shaving foils, and the same 14,000 cycle motor, and all the features of the 3 and 4 blade options, it 
provides the fastest, and the most comfortable shave of any Panasonic electric razor.
This could be the best electric razor in its class, and it must be tried to be believed.
This range of Panasonic electric shavers have a lot of long time Braun, Norelco and Remington brand loyalists switching over, that’s how impressive they are. Panasonic have packed features, high performance, comfort and a long battery life into an ergonomic shape that is easily cleaned, and easy to use.
