About this deal

I have a ESLV65 shaver, about 3 years old. I want to replace the foil and blade with WES9036 parts, which I understand you to recommend. Given that the cost of these is around 40-50% of teh cost of a new shaver, do you think it is worth it to replace the foil and blades, or should I just go ahead and buy a new ESLV65? What I am worried about is the battery on my shaver. It seems fine now, but how much life might be left in it? Do these batteries typically last 4-5 years? I generally shave every day.. Three distinct foil patterns work in combination to capture and cut eventhe difficult parts of your beard. As a result, it is slightly better than the previous ones when shaving longer hairs, but still not great if the hairs also stay flat on the skin and grow in different directions. Also, if you bought a newer (generation 3) Arc 5 and you can’t find the exact foils it came with, you can always use an older model as it will fit just fine. The new ES-LV67 is fitted with the same foil and blades as the ES-LV65 and the other older Arc 5 models.

As a result, we also have an Arc 5 revision B (ES-LV9B, ES-LV6B), a revision C (ES-LV9CX, ES-LV9C, ES-LV9Q, ES-LV6Q, ES-CV51, etc.), a revision D (ES-LV9DX, ES-LV9D, etc.), a revision E (ES-LV9EX, ES-LV9E, etc.), a revision F (ES-LV9FX, ES-LV9F, etc.), a revision G (ES-LV9U, ES-LV6U, etc.), a revision H (ES-LV9V, ES-LV7V, etc.), and a revision J (ES-LV9W, ES-LV7W, ES-LV5J, etc.). Normally I would suggest a Braun shaver (like the old generation Series 5, 7 or the Series 9/9 Pro depending on the budget) as those are usually better for reducing ingrown hairs. But again, this isn’t set in stone and the ES-LV65 might be worth a shot, especially if you can get a great deal on one. It won’t be a major downgrade since the first and second-generation foils were already really good, even though they are not quite as comfortable as the new ones. Why four foil models? Well, there are 9 revisions of the third generation as of 2022 (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and J) and some of them also come with revised foils.Moreover, there’s a lot of cross-generation compatibility when it comes to Arc 5 replacement foils and blades and this part was never explicitly documented by Panasonic. However, the foils and blades used by the various Arc 5 models have mostly undergone incremental changes. Side note: All generation 3 foils/sets are also cross-compatible regardless of the revision. For example, if you own a revision C shaver like the ES-LV9Q you can upgrade the foil to the latest revision G/H/J foil/set. 2.2 Compatible (older) foils and blades First & second gen Panasonic Arc 5 foil & blades Part type

Also, here’s my detailed Arc 5 buying guide where you can find all the relevant info about every Arc 5 model ever released. So if you have a first or second-generation Panasonic Arc 5, those are the part numbers of the original foil and blades. 1.2 Compatible (newer) Foils & Blades Third generation Arc 5 foil and blades Part type i haven’t used the new shaver yet since i shaved thursday with the gilette and since i didn’t receive the new one till friday, but i was wondering if you feel i made a good choice to get that model of arc5? The revisions E and F also have a different foil compared to the C and D models, at least in the sense that it has a different part number. You’ll sometimes find the foil, blades or set listed without the W in the model name. For example, ES9036 instead of WES9036. Don’t mind it, it’s the same part. 2. For third generation Arc 5 shavers 2.1 Original Foils & Blades Third generation Arc 5 foil and blades Part typePanasonic Electric Razors and Accessories continue to lead the industry in both quality and performance Also, as I am using an inexpensive Braun S3 skinpro, despite the fact Braun is supposed to provide more comfort/less burn than the equivalent more aggressive Panasonic Arc, does this still hold try when comparing S3 (low end) vs ARC 5 (high end) ?

Currently at the third generation, a lot has changed in the design and material choice of the Arc 5 shavers. Is there a Panasonic razor that shaves as well as the ESLV 65 with a different handle? My previous shaver was a Panasonic ESLA63, which I found more comfortable to hold, though it may not have shaved quite as close as the ESLV65.

Perhaps I should have tried the blades for a longer period to see whether I could get used to them. The exception is Europe where the revision G Arc 5 shavers were officially released under the Series 900 name. Illuminated liquid blue crystal display-LCD battery status and charge indicator plus cleaningreminder to keep your blades freshI’ve been using DE Razor for 20+ years and always use Japanese Feather steel blades, after years of trialling everything else they absolutely give me the least razor burn (none) and provide the best mitigation for ingrown hairs, from which I have always suffered. They are v.v. sharp and I shaved every 2/3/4 days with no problems. Recently, I needed to shave more often, so decided to try electric and bought a Braun series 3 skinpro, for the very reason it wouldn’t cut as close and should therefore cause minimal irritation and help with ingrown hairs. It kinda works but I get sore skin afterwards as I need to pass over the same area a few times, especially upper lip (I’ve tried wet and dry) but I’m starting to dread using it daily. But it is good against causing ingrown hairs. I’m beginning to think the discounted Panasonic ES-LV65 might be the solution, contrary to whats said on paper/theory. I’m a big fan of the quality of anything truly made in Japan and their steel! For the ultimate shaving experience, leave it to Panasonic to deliver the closest, smoothest shaving experience of your life. In reality, all generation 3 foils from revision A to F are extremely similar and you probably won’t notice any significant difference during use.
