  The Panasonic ES8243 (or Arc IV) is a top of the line cordless electric shaver which uses Panasonics most advanced shaver technology. This is a wet or dry shaver, which allows it to be used in or out of the shower, with or without shaving foam. However, the most notable technology lies in the floating quadruple arc foil shaving head. These use super sharp 30 degree blades and feature an ultra thin three dimensional hole patterned stainless steel foil to ensure the closest shave possible. The pop-up trimmer allows trimming and contouring of beards, moustaches and side-burns. The rechargeable lithium battery fully charges in 1 hour to provide approximately 14 shaves. There is also a 5-minute quick charge for one shave if needed. The motor runs at 13,000 RPM, but increases to 17,000 RPM when you hold the ON/OFF button, which enters it into the turbo cleaning mode for easy cleaning, ... PROS: (1) Shaves quickly (2) Head shape and flexibility gets at all areas of the neck/face (3) Works very well without shaving gel or cream (4) Easy and accessible cleaning (5) Battery charge lasts a long time ... CONS: (1) A very close shave may take several passes (2) Cost of replacement blades (if necessary) is high (3) pop up trimmer easily folds back when cutting upwards
