| | |  | Anthony Logistics Body Wash for Men | Home » » » Panasonic ES7103K Pro-Curve Wet/Dry Triple Head Shaver, Black | | | | | | | Description: | | The Pro-Curve Triple Blade Pivot Shaver, offers outstanding shaving features. Two foils and a center slit blade all float independently, while it's pivoting head feature rocks up and down, and back and forth, allowing the blades to form and follow every contour of your face for a more soothing shave. This razor delivers maximum comfort and the support you need for a clean, close shave. Panasonic also delivers the sharpest blades for precise and accurate shaving. While conventional shavers offer a range of 45- to 90-degree blades, the Pro-Curve comes with the sharpest blade angle at 30-degrees -- great for precision cutting. With a motor that spins at 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), this shaver cuts through thick and thin while providing optimal comfort. Like all Panasonic shavers this unit has wet/dry technology, so it is fully immersible under water. This razor can be used with lather in the convenience of your shower, or on the go for a quick trim. When done just simply rinse under water. A Pop up trimmer is accessible with the push of a finger for grooming moustaches and sideburns. The LCD Battery Monitor lets you know how much charge is remaining at all times. Moreover, with its automatic international dual voltage conversion feature, this razor will fulfill shaving needs here and abroad. To properly shave with the Pro-Curve, start out with gentle pressure on the face. It is important to note that the skin and beard require about 30 days to adjust to any new shaving method. Once the skin becomes used to the shaver, increased pressure may be applied to the face, but remember that shaving should never be painful. To maintain superior cutting performance, replace the outer foil at least once a year and the inner blade once every two years. | | | Features: | |

Vey close shave for an electric shaverJan 05, 2008
By ®
I don't think there is a perfect electric shaver out there, but this is very close. This is my 3rd electric shavers I owned. My first electric shaver was a foil shaver from Braun and which did it job fine. After seeing all the Norelco's lift and cut commercial, I finally got the Norelco Spectra 8825 XL and finally replaced it with a Panasonic brand. I will compare this barebones Panasonic Es 7103k with the other models I used.
Closet shave:
I will have to give this to the Panasonic by a narrow margin then Braun at 2 and Norelco in 3rd. Before I got this model, I tried my brother Panasonic and actually got a cut. Wow, this electric shaver is the closest thing to a Bic razor. I have not yet gotten any cut or bleeding from this newer model, but my skin feels tender and definitely need some lotion afterward. The blade speed is 10k rpm compare to Braun at 7-8k rpm. Higher end Panasonic shavers go up to 13k rpm. I considered the Braun average and Norelco have trouble with thicker hair around the mustache area. All three does evenly in the bread part of the face with a long trimmer on the first wave and switching back to the main shaver for the softer cut. Hairs under the neck needs a first past with a long trimmer on the Braun and Norelco, but not necessary for the Panasonic, which seem to chop almost all areas evenly without the long hair trimmer.
Smooth shave:
Norelco or Panasonic, then Braun. While this model takes off my face top skin layer like no other electric razors out there, my skin does feels fresh after I give it some aftershave lotion. Norelco design hands down is the easiest on the face. No aftershave lotion at all. The triple rotating blades on the Spectra, while doesn't cut as close, definitely fits my face contour better creating an even cut. Braun (older model) definitely has a close shave but its foil/coil (not the current triple heads models) missed some hair under the neck and mustache and need more passes than both the Norelco and Panasonic.
Power:
While this is not the most powerful Panasonic model out there at 10k rpm, it definitely feels more powerful then Braun or Norelco. Granted the Norelco design is a little different. Norelco is the quietest follow by Braun. This model is also as noisily as my father Remington and tad under the decibel of some hair trimmer.
Construction:
I like Panasonic, Norelco and Braun design and construction for varies reason, the Remington design is another story. On the outside all three are equally solid. Under the blade, Panasonic looks the sturdiest. Its coils looks thicker then the Braun. I am not sure why all the plastic parts under the Spectra blade have never been broken all these years, but they still work fine. I got to say this flush on design and construction for all three bases on personal preferences.
Features:
All three were easily to wash. All three have swivel blade heads. Norelco has the best contour to face. Braun and Panasonic foil head pivot in different way. Panasonic head pivot side to side, horizontally, that doesn't lose power from the base motor. Braun head pivot vertically closer to the face, but comparably to a non-pivot head, it seem to lost power from the base motor in the design. Both Braun and Panasonic coils going up and down where this Panasonic triple blades move up and down independently. I am not sure if the 30 degree blade or its power is the reason why the Panasonic get the closet shave. The digital screen shows how much the battery is left, but is always on. The only drawback I see in this design is the rechargeable batteries. Only Norelco works both as a recharge and cord plug in. The older Braun and Panasonic work on a charge only and cannot plug and play. The Braun batteries died and never worked again, I hope this won't happen to the Panasonic. The newer Braun models have fixed this feature.Shave wet is a nice feature also.
Overall this is the closet shave for a barebones unit, and that price is right. Just wished it had the plug and play feature.

 Excellent Performance at a Value Price!Nov 16, 2008
By M. Mercado
Bought this shaver due to its low price and decent spec's. When it arrived I figure I'd get a few months worth of usage and off to the garbage. I had gotten really tired of my older Remington Rotary leaving my face with razor burn and I considered a Foil Shaver this time might help? Well, the day I first used it I was left in complete amazement, it was actually a pleasure to shave and not have any irritation on my neck or the red blotches that accompanied my former shaves. This Electric Shaver has the Cutting Blade at a 30 degree angle, and a speed of 10K RPM which compare to other shaves is not a speed racer yet this formula seem to be the ticket!. It is also a wet/dry shaver, meaning it could be used while in the shower. I am wiling to venture and say that the slower speed and the angle of the blades are the contributing factor in my complete satisfaction with this Panasonic Shaver. The shaves are really close and although no electric shaver will completely match a razor blades shave, it does a fantastic job good enough to step outside looking clean shaven and fresh, you'll find yourself shaving so much more that the wife will start to wonder what's going on? I've even planned on purchasing a second unit as a backup since the price is right and it would be a better investment then purchasing the foil and blade replacement. Lets face it, (pun intended) when you look good you'll actually start feeling good specially when the feedback form your viewers is positive due to your representation. You gonna Love it!

Excellent price excellent shaveSep 10, 2008
By C. Lee
"yeomanflood"
I have used electric shavers for 25 years. Over the course of that time I've tried rotary, Braun and others. I converted to Panasonic and wet shaving a few years ago. I love the shaves I get from the wet electric. The Panasonic Linnear motors are great, but the real downer is that Panasonic makes it very difficult to change the batteries once they die out - which for me, even if I let them drain out to completely dead, is about 1.5 years (not long enough at all!). This design is completely bad for the environment - I wonder how long it will be before electric shavers go the route of cordless phones and have replaceable batteries. Since I got tired of buying $90-$100 shavers every 1.5 years, I purchsed this model which is at the low end and isn't a Linnear motor (Linnear is 13K RPM vs. this model which is like 10K RPM), in part as a means of protesting their anti-environmental design. The shave isn't quite as close or easy as a Linnear but it's easily 90% the quality for 40% less cost...and so far, the battery seems to be trending to last longer than the last Panasonic Linnear I bought which suggests that the batteries might be the same while the Linnear might require higher power to operate.

ATTENTION: MEN WITH SENSITIVE SKIN!Dec 24, 2008
By Consumer 3000
I have supremely sensitive skin on my face and neck. I've never had a good, painless shave in my life (with blades or other electric shavers) - until I used this shaver.
I use this shaver after a shower, using shaving cream, and I get a pain-free shave that's smoother than using a 3-blade razor. It gives me a near perfect shave! The battery lasts long as well (at least a week/charge).
Note, however, this shaver isn't a miracle worker. If I use this shaver "dry", I still get some irritation on my neck. Also, the razor can occasionally miss a few stubborn hairs on the neck (no matter how many times you try to mow them down). And finally, the digital battery display is not as precise as one may might think as it only works in steps of 20% (i.e. 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100%).
Despite those faults, using this shaver "wet" is simply fantastic, and I couldn't recommend this shaver enough.
UPDATE: After using this shaver for a few weeks, it (magically) made my skin more resilient. So now I can even use standard 3-blade razors without cutting myself. I don't know how to explain it, but it's really been a boon for my skin. Now my regiment for shaving (if I have more than a day's growth on my face): buzz off any beard, shave with a 3-blade razor to get my hairs small, use the Panasonic shaver to remove the rest, leaving my face soft as a baby's butt. If it's only been a day, then just using the Panasonic is enough. It's great!

Just what the Dr. Ordered!Oct 23, 2009
By Lone Woods Ranch
At a young 59 years old my husband, was just diagnosed with a heart condition that requires him to be on a blood thinning prescription. His Cariologist informed us that he could no longer use disposable razors. He has to be extremely careful not to even get a "Paper Cut". As it takes months to adjust the drugs to keep his blood at the thickness levels the Doctor wants, and he has a heavy beard growth, he couldn't go without shaving. All the research I did before I purchased this razor for him was well worth the time spent. According to my husband it's 100 times better than advertised. This razor gives as smooth a shave if not better than disposables and no knicks. In addition, it's easy to clean and maintain. We highly recommend this product.
