Review: Exactly what I was looking for when I was buying it - I had one of the previous versions of Panasonic electric shavers. Actually I have 2 in a row, like a really old one, and then the 2nd one lasted for around 8 years. I changed the blades only once or twice. It worked perfectly even battery was still good after 8 years. I use it mostly dry shaving, this works perfectly for me. And changed it for this one mostly because of trying to look if there is anything more. So I started to investigate what is there on the market and if there is something better than Panasonic. I actually ordered Braun Series 9 PRO+ Electric Shaver cause they also had this option of awesome hard shell travel case with ability to charge (that is a neat option Panasonic you should have this offering widely supported, I think I have seen that you may have such case but it is not sold in US). So I ordered the Braun one and sadly, at least from my perspective, was shaving worse than my 8 year old panasonic shaver. So I returned it. Then I saw this one ARC6 saying state of the art shaver. It is for sure more expensive and might be a bit over the price of other shavers. But, man, it is for sure an awesome shaver and it shaves even better than my old one, and noticeably better, I actually get on the areas of my beard where I get super clean shave without any roughness. I really like it, I think I need still to get use to this one to have all shaved areas shaving silky smooth result. I you are not tight on your money and you can afford this shaver, I definitely recommend it. Or if you want to make an awesome gift for you man, for sure might be a great option. One remark, my beard is normal, I know there are different types of beards, mine is not super hard but also not super soft, I would say right in the middle. Review: ARC6 makes shaving pleasant again - I have had the ARC5 for a year and just upgraded to the ARC6. The ARC5 was, without a doubt, the best electric razor that I ever used for closeness and comfort, better than the Braun Series 9 that I used prior. The ARC6 is my new favorite. It is more comfortable than the ARC5, and gets that perfect, close shave with less effort. Pro tip: Most of the time I will use Speick pre electric shave lotion, which also helps significantly with comfort and avoiding razor burn. The combination of the using the preshave lotion and the Panasonic ARC5/6 razors leaves my skin as smooth and comfortable as I used to get with the best blade razors. Honestly. I know that sounds like a sales pitch from a paid reviewer, but I'm really just another guy who likes to have a pleasant experience shaving this stubble off my face every morning. ## Features - Our Most Advanced Technology for an Incredible Shaving Experience: Panasonic ARC 6 mens electric shaver features six blades forged from hypoallergenic stainless steel, informed by centuries of Japanese craftsmanship for an ultra-premium shave every day - Powerful, Yet Flexible Electric Shavers for Men With Mag-Lev Technology: Ultra-strong magnets deliver 84,000 cross-cutting actions per minute to trim the thickest beards with ease; shaver head moves in 22 independent directions, staying close to skin - Responsive Beard Sensor for Unique Facial Contours: These men's electric shavers shave any length beard with a minimal number of strokes; the sensor responsively boosts and reduces power for an unbelievably close shave without irritation - Ergonomic, Premium Design: With a refined texture, this Panasonic electric razor for men features a cordless operation, beautiful matte black color and sculptural, ergonomic shape that feels substantial yet lightweight - Wet/Dry 6 Blade Razor for Men with Long-Life Battery: This Panasonic electric trimmer can shave wet or dry, in or out of the shower, and rinse under running water; a full charge for 50 minutes of smooth, powerful shaving, and 3-minute quick-charge ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B1RY3YHW | | Additional Features | Hypoallergenic | | Battery Average Life | 60 minutes | | Battery Description | Rechargeable | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,917 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #24 in Men's Foil Shavers | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Brand | Panasonic | | Brand Name | Panasonic | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 311 Reviews | | Head Type | Foil | | Included Components | Protective Cap , Cleaning Brush, Charger, oil bottle | | Item Highlight | Wet/Dry electric razor for facial grooming with a foil shaver, pop-up trimmer, and 6-blade smart shave, Black, ES-LS8A-K | | Item Nype Name | ARC6 Six-Blade Electric Razor | | Item Weight | 8 ounces | | Manufacturer | Panasonic | | Manufacturer Part Number | ES-LS8A-K | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 2 year manufacturer | | Model Name | ES-LS8A-K Panasonic ARC6 Electric Razor for Men | | Model Number | ES-LS8A-K | | Number of Blades | 6 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Recommended Uses For Product | Beard, Nose Hair | | Special Feature | Hypoallergenic | | UPC | 885170392373 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Panasonic - **Model Name:** ES-LS8A-K Panasonic ARC6 Electric Razor for Men - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Beard, Nose Hair - **Special Feature:** Hypoallergenic ## Images ![ARC6 Electric Razor for Men, Wet/Dry Foil Shaver & Pop-Up Trimmer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uj6k3vSBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Configuration, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this electric shaver have a detail attachment?** A: The built-in precision trimmer is small, precise, easy to use, detailing sideburns and mustaches quickly to finish your shave. **Q: Is the Arc6 travel-ready?** A: A track lock instantly engages to keep your shaver locked when in your travel bag. **Q: Are there clear indicatiors of the power and cleaning levels?** A: Multi LED indicator shows battery and operation status, plus a cleaning reminder. **Q: Can this shaver be used wet or dry?** A: Yes, the waterproof ARC6 shaver can be used to shave dry, or wet, with or without shaving cream, foam or gel. **Q: How can I maintain my ARC6 shaver?** A: To ensure peak performance of your ARC6 shaver, wash after each use and replace blades when needed.

The ARC5 was, without a doubt, the best electric razor that I ever used for closeness and comfort, better than the Braun Series 9 that I used prior. The ARC6 is my new favorite.

The battery doesn't discharge evenly as I wondered about below. Not a problem in my case but not the 20 shaves I estimated based on the initial shave. 2) I still prefer the razor body of the Braun series 7 old gen. It has a slightly paddle shaped body relative to the Arc 6. The razor body of the Braun feels more substantial, controllable and comfortable in my hand. Personal preference. 3) Replacement cartridge prices seem to be holding fast at about $115.00. In comparison, Panasonic's predecessor ARC5 cartridge is about $60.00 currently. The Braun series 9 cartridge (Braun's flagship foil razor currently) ranges between about $50.00 and $80.00 within Amazon and at the time of this writing. Given that Panasonic estimates an 18mo service life for the Arc 6 cartridge, I'll have another ~14 months before I need to buy another. Bottom line: great *foil* razor. Maybe the highest performing based only on reviews, not personal experience. That said, while it may be 'the best' in foil razor design currently, it's still a foil razor, not a sci-fi laser shaver. It may be that foil razors long ago hit an evolutionary dead end. My grandfather used a 1970's era corded Remington foil razor for many years. It outlived him. Given the era, this would have meant that it was manufactured in the U.S. - most likely. Although I can't speak to the closeness of the shave it provided, he always looked clean shaven. Nice to see Panasonic flexing their engineering prowess, moving the bar a bit but given the performance, relative cost and especially the cost of replacement cartridges, it's hard to enthusiastically recommend. Original review: There's a scene in the movie Pulp Fiction with characters Vince and Mia in a restaurant. Mia orders a $5.00 milkshake. Curious about an expensive $5.00 milkshake (early 90's), Mia lets Vince try it. Vince does and says "I don't know if it was worth $5.00 but it was pretty #^&$#@ good". That sums up my experience with the ARC6 after two uses. It's relatively expensive but once I started reading reviews from a variety of sources and getting caught up in the hype, I had to know. I'll get this out of the way first: A replacement blade cartridge costs $115.00 currently. In comparison, you can buy an entire ARC5 razor for $109.00 currently. The ARC6 cartridges are likely to drop in price as time goes on. Or not. Someone in marketing from Panasonic said this about the ARC6: "You Heard Us. We're Doing Six Blades." It may be that the genesis of the ARC6 was from the marketing department, not an engineering goal. There's a lot of marketplace competition so perhaps Panasonic was looking for a design that would stand out, generate sales. I guess. Not sure how much further engineers can take foil razor design. Foil razors may be an evolutionary dead end, perhaps have been for a while. Reading the manual will be necessary. There are things end-users will need to know to fully utilize the features. This replaces a high performing and long lasting Braun Series 7 (old gen). There are two versions of the series 7 with different cartridges – new and old gen. Note that Braun's current flagship model is the series 9. It may be that their series 9 is higher performing than series 7. A better comparison for the ARC 6 would be with a Braun series 9. With the old-gen series 7 Braun, I have to shave daily. The ARC6 left marginally less stubble after ~24 hours but shaving once per day will still be necessary for a lot of us. In comparison, using a 5 blade Fusion results in less stubble than both after ~24 hours. With a Fusion, I can get away with shaving every two days. Needless to say, comparing a blade such as the Fusion to a foil razor is apples to oranges. The ARC6 provides a somewhat faster and smoother shave than the old- gen series 7. This is to be expected given that the ARC6 is a six blade design, the series 7 a three blade design. According to Panasonic, two lift blades, two thick stubble blades and two finishing blades. The old-gen series 7 has one stubble blade and two finishing blades. With the ARC6, you’re shaving with the equivalent of two Braun series 7 razors. Fewer passes required. It took about 3-4 minutes to complete the initial wet shave with the ARC6. As with many things in life, 'slow is smooth, smooth is fast'. Don't grind, let the razor do most of the work. Technique makes a difference. It got under my nose well, around the chin, etc. Definitely a faster shave with the ARC6. I also dry shaved once and got a great result. Regardless, touch up was needed with a Fusion's reverse-side single blade precision trimmer. This was the case after shaving wet and dry. A few hairs on my neck and a few on my chin. This has always been the case with my old-gen series 7 Braun too. The need to do so is going to vary from user to user. If your face is not perfectly smooth, you have scars, weathered skin, pock marks, etc., foil razors in general may need some help. From a 100% charge, I was left with an indicated 95%. If the battery discharges evenly and at ~5 minutes per shave, ~20 shaves per charge. LI batteries lose capacity over time with charge cycles so expect fewer shaves per charge as the razor ages. Ergonomically, the ARC6 is comfortable to use and the multi-directional head unit is easier to shave with. Perhaps because I'm used to the series 7 Braun, I prefer the ergonomics of the Braun's razor body more so than the ARC6. The Braun has that 'just right' feel to it while the ARC6 didn't let me forget that I'm handling something. As I time goes on, I may change my mind. The ARC6 head is multi-directional which keeps it in full contact with my face more evenly and easily than the series 7 Braun. After ~24hrs, I noticed that the stubble had a very even growth, something I never noticed with the series 7 Braun. The series 7 Braun pivots in one direction only. Stubble after ~24hrs isn't patchy exactly but compared to the ARC6, not as even. So, should you shell out for an ARC6? Impossible to say. Beard types differ, shaving technique makes a difference, budget and perceptions differ. Perhaps the most compelling reason to pass on the ARC6 is cost. For the price of the baseline model, you can buy three (!) ARC5 baseline models at current pricing ($109.00 advertised for a baseline ARC5, $339.99 paid for a new baseline ARC6). Braun's series 9 pricing is pretty close to the ARC6. I'm going to keep the ARC6 knowing that it's probably as good as it gets when using a foil razor. Quality product, impressive Japanese engineering, time tested brand and likely to last for years. That said, if you're a Panasonic loyalist, carefully consider the cost benefit of an ARC5 vs an ARC6. Definitely consider a Braun series 9 as well. Both are high quality, well designed products. ## Frequently Bought Together - Panasonic ARC6 Electric Razor for Men Face, Wet & Dry Shavers for Men with Foil Shaver, Pop-up Trimmer, Ultra-Fast 6-Blade, Smart Shave Sensor, 22D Flexible Pivoting Head - ES-LS8A-K (Black) - [Bulk buying set] Panasonic LAMDASH shaver cleaning charger dedicated cleaning agents -6 pieces- (japan import) by Panasonic - Panasonic Cleaning Solution Refill for Men’s Shaver Automatic Clean and Charge Systems, 3-Pack - WES4L03 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/442094299-arc6-electric-razor-for-men-wet-dry-foil-shaver-pop](https://www.desertcart.us/products/442094299-arc6-electric-razor-for-men-wet-dry-foil-shaver-pop) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-11-03*
