Panasonic ES8103S or Panasonic ES8243A
« on: October 10, 2012, 04:51:49 AM »
I need a new electric razor for my face and head. These two appear to be some of the better ones out there.
It looks like the only difference is one is a 3 blade and the other is a 4 blade. Price difference is $45.
I've read alot of reviews on Amazon and both shavers are highly rated. But I figured I would get an honest opinion by the guys on this site.
I would like to hear comments/opinions from those who have used these razors and if the 4 blade model is worth the additional $45.
Thanks
Eddie

I have owned both the 3 blade and the 4 blade models.  I'm currently using the 4 blade Panasonic.  It is definitely worth the extra money.

My next acquisition will be the five blade model.

What Red wrote you can put in a Mason jar and bury it...I used an old slow Panny 2 blade then an ES-8243 and upgraded to an ES-LA63 and they are excellent tools. They charge fast, duel voltage for travel and give a pretty good shave. Someday I'll upgrade again. Read below and good luck!

When not wet shaving with the headblade, I use the Panasonic ES-LA63.

Been happily using it since April 2012.
