Panasonic ES2216PC Close Curves Wet/Dry Ladies Shaver with Bikini Attachment Review

I choose the Panasonic ES2216PC Close Curves Wet/Dry Ladies Shaver because I liked the look of the slim shape, plus I was attracted to the separate Bikini Attachment and the pop-up trimmer for stray hairs. Other attributes of the Panasonic ES22126PC are the pivoting blades that move sleekly over the curving parts of the body. It can be fully immersed in water and is suitable for wet or dry shaves. The blades are hypoallergenic to counter against skin irritation and rashes. It’s light weight, compact and rechargeable for up to 12 hours. The package also includes the charger. Compared to my other bikini trimmers, here’s what I found after 7 months with this one:

Pros

• This Panasonic definitely moves more easily along my skin. I don’t have to twist my hand as much to reach difficult spots as the machine is doing all the pivoting work.
• I’m really satisfied with the results in terms of hair removal, and smooth skin. It’s a much closer shave than any I’ve had before.
• I find I now have fewer incidents of bumps and rashes on my legs. Must be the hypoallergenic blades thing, so I’m really happy on that front.
• It stays recharged for much longer. I had a shaver before that was rechargeable but didn’t last beyond 30 minutes – the Panasonic lasts through my whole hair removing session.
• I’ve never used an electric shaver in the the underarm area but always used a razor. Trouble is I sometimes got razor burn and therefore I decided to give this shaver a try on the underarms. I liked the way it curved smoothly in this area. In terms of pain, it was quite a lot but after a few tries it’s much more endurable. Plus there haven’t been any burns with the shaver. So I’ll continue using it for underarms as well.
• Great to use as both wet and dry shaving; I couldn’t wet shave with my previous one. But it also means that I can do quick, dry touch ups so I enjoy that convenience.
• The lightness and smallness makes it very easy to pack and carry along when traveling.
• The price is attractive, less than $40. But that said, I think the value for money is tremendous, so I’m glad I didn’t purchase some of the more expensive models.

Cons

• It doesn’t work as well on my very fine hairs. I don’t mind that so much because I can run manual shaver over them, but it would be nice not to have to switch devices.
• The first time I used it I scratched my calves. But I think it’s because I was exerting the same pressure as my previous machine. So one needs to be careful as the blades are much sharper and light strokes should be applied.

Overall I’m very happy with this wet dry shaver and would definitely recommend it for its ease of use, excellent results and affordability.
