Panasonic ARC4 Electric Shaver, 1, Sliver

Q: I am concerned about the life of the battery, when the battery dies I assume you can't replace it and because the shaver won't work with just the power cord plugged into it, it's then basically a paper weight isn't it? What sort of lifetime am I going to get out of it? and are they any good electric shaver's out there …

You are correct that the rechargeable batteries cannot be replaced by the consumer, though an authorized service center can replace them if necessary. My 20+ years of experience as an owner of Panasonic shavers has seen an average shaver lifetime of about 5 years of normal use before I start to notice a significant decrease in battery life. Only one Panasonic shaver did not last beyond about 2 years and that was the last one I replaced (and I have already expressed my dissatisfaction with it in a previous review). My current Panasonic shaver is about 1.5 years old and seems fine so far. The reason you can't use them while plugged in is because these are Wet-Dry shavers and Panasonic is concerned that someone will use them wet while plugged in, an obvious safety hazard. That is also why it is not a good idea to try and replace the batteries yourself as you may not seal it properly afterwards for wet use.I keep my shaver fully charged at all times; as per Panasonic, leaving it plugged in continuously will not decrease the battery life.

Q: Is this model made in Japan or China?

Made in Japan - not in China, not in Malaysia, not in Taiwan nor in any other of the usual low-paying-wage countries.

Q: Is the head too big to shave the upper lip area near the nose? I don't want to have to pull out a second razor to do clean up.

The head is big but it shaves quite well the upper lip área near the nose base. I shave in less than three minutes including these difficult areas and I have no complaints about it, as a matter of fact I am very satisfied with the ultra comfortable and clean shave I got with Panasonic ES-LA63-S Arc4 Electric Shaver. No cuts and no irritation at all, it's a blessing compared to other models. This electric razor is well designed, it does a good job and it's top quality.

Q: The razor does not seem to turn off automatically when fully charged. Can the battery be damaged if you forget to unplug the charger ?

I doubt that you can overcharge the shaver. I have often left it charging overnight with no noticeable resulting problems. It flashes when finished charging and displays 100% so it knows that it is fully charged. From what I have observed I don't think it can be overcharged. I have been using the shaver now for 3 months and am very pleased. I have yet to detect any kind of diminished shaving ability. I clean it after every shave with liquid soap and water. 'Works great.
