Sensitive skin review
I have VERY VERY sensitive armpits and normal disposable razors give me ingrown hairs and lots of red bumps all over my armpits. I’ve tried exfoliation before shaving, after shaving, conditioner lather, soap, letting it grow a little and then shaving, shaving it the day after (short), putting aloe on after and NOTHING has worked, red bumps, pain, and ingrown hair every time. So I did a little more research and found that electric shavers sometimes are better. And then came across Panasonic as one of the best electric shavers for sensitive skin. It was pretty hard to find anyone who has the same experience/as bad as i do giving any kind of reviews hence the long detailed one:
It doesn’t give quite as close a shave as my razor, but is plenty good. My hair is super dark (almost black) and very stiff and grows back very quickly. If I want to show my legs, I need to shave the day of otherwise the hair will grow back enough to show. If you have thin and/or light colored hair I dont think this would be as big of a thing to consider as it wouldn’t affect you as much. It definitely works tho and gives as close a shave as a slightly dull razor blade. I did also find that pushing down a little makes for a slightly closer shave on my legs. One other thing I did find is that because it is a little bigger than a razor, it is a little harder to maneuver under my arms. A little note.
Skin irritation. This is the big one. My legs have zero irritation (but that wasn’t a previous problem). I tested wet and dry on my armpits and legs, and dry honestly seemed better. My armpits were a little irritated after, but not NEARLY as they used to be. And now my go to has been to wash, shave, and then put aloe vara gel on (aloe vara is a natural antibacterial) and with this routine it works great. Very little to no irritation under my armpits. Definitely the best of everything I’ve tried thus far.
Battery life is fine, havent tested the actual length it can run and what they claim, but seems good. I charge it after i use it overnight and it is fine.
It isn’t the easiest to clean. The top piece comes off which is nice, and i rinse that, but for some reason the little hairs stick and dont really rinse off. I take about 10 ish min to use the little brush etc to clean it after I use it and it gets fairly clean, but not pristine.
It isn’t the cheapest electric shaver out there, but also not the most expensive. For all my struggles, it was definitely worth it, and it’s really nice to not have to shower if I want to shave, but depending of what you want it for, a cheaper one may work great for you.
And take the rating numbers with a grain of salt, I never really rate anything 5/perfect, and many were in between 3-4. So focus on what I said and not the number rating below.
