Panasonic ES8078S Vortex HyrdraClean Wet/Dry Shaving System Review

I’ve only had and been using this for about 3 weeks now from this review. I can’t say too much as far as durability and longevity.
What I can say is, it’s allowed me to shave more often with more comfort. Previously, I was trying to shave as infrequently as I could get away with due to my facial hairs being so thick. I don’t have it Grizzly Adams style, but what I do have is thick. I typically would have to wait a few days so that shaving with a regular razor would be easy on my skin and therefore, less painful.
This may not be as close as a blade, but dangit if it doesn’t give me about a 95%+ close shave. It actually takes me longer to shave with this I believe then the old way of doing things, but that may improve the more I use it. And do as the manual suggests and give your face some time to adjust to the “new” method of shaving.
I haven’t needed to use the cleaning cartridge yet, but I imagine I will because I have hard water. As of now, I just rinse it out under the tap. I purchased this for using on vacation, but I think I’ll end up using this much more regularly and perhaps it will one day replace regular razors for me.

Panasonic ES8078S Vortex HyrdraClean Wet/Dry Shaving System Overview
Panasonic has the only non-alcohol based detergent in the industry. The detergent based solution is free of harsh chemicals and cleans/disinfects which keeps the blades lubricated and the blades sharp. Since alcohol is not used, these is no danger of flammability, and even if spilled, it will nor deform or discolor furniture or appliances. The detergent is highly biagradeable, so the cleaning liquid can be poured down the drain without treatment. The disposable cartridge can be discarded as plastic waste.
