Review: A VERY WORTHWHILE UPGRADE - The Panasonic ES-RF31 Wet & Dry four blade men's shaver was a replacement for my older Panasonic ES8183 3-blade wet & dry shaver which I had owned for around 8 years of totally, totally trouble-free, dependable use. Unfortunately, the old shaver died as a result of being dropped onto a hard floor once too often:-(. My old Panasonic shaver made me a devoted fan of Panasonic wet & dry shavers. I have also used Philips and Braun products. No electric shaver can come as close as Panasonic shavers in delivering a close dry, or wet shave. I would go as far as to say that when used as a wet shaver it can deliver as close a shave as many wet razors! I use my Panasonic in preference to a wet razor shave on my face and it really is as close a shave as a wet razor. My replacement, the ES-RF31 is absolutely no disappointment (and an improvement in most areas) compared to my trusty old ES8183. I shave my head every day and also have a full daily body shave too. I use the ES-RF31 to dry shave my face and head, then finish off with a Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 wet razor on my scalp. Sorry to say, even Panasonic wet & dry shavers haven't yet got as good as a blade at shaving the scalp. I like my head to be billiard ball smooth so I find the best approach is to shave first with my Panasonic, then finish off with my wet razor of choice. Mostly, the Panasonic is absolutely fine shaving my face dry and produces a very, very smooth finish. Occasionally though, I wet shave my face with the Panasonic too. That gives me an ultra smooth finish that is every bit as good as a wet razor shave. It's a shame I can't replicate that on my scalp as I would happily ditch the wet razor on my scalp. I also shave my body with the ES-RF31 in the shower, every day. It works great, but I am careful not to over wet the shaver even though it's a wet & dry product. To be honest, I have every faith in Panasonic's wet & dry shaver products to stay completely waterproof, but I like to be a little careful, just the same. I have owned my ES-RF31 for a little over two months now. It consistently delivers both dry and wet shaves that are better than my old ES8183. I can achieve a slightly closer shave, a little quicker, with the ES-RF31. The floating finishing blade attached to the head appears to do a good job too and is not just a gimmick. The shaving head uses the same pivoting technology as in my old ES8183. It simply works perfectly, no ifs, no buts, it works thanks to superior Japanese design. In fact the shaver is undeniably a big brand Japanese product. It works well, it does what says it does, it is well built and if it lasts like my old ES8183 will give me many years of completely hassle free, reliable shaving. The ES-RF31 is much quieter than my old ES8183 in operation. The design of the case of the ES-RF31 is better to hold (for me) than my old Panasonic was. I miss the digital readout display in the body of my old Panasonic. I could have got that if I wanted to pay more for a higher specification model. The ES-RF31 has three LED's to indicate the amount of battery power left. It works fine, but I was spoiled a little, I guess, by the digital readout on my old ES8183. There is no charging stand with the ES-RF31, again I feature I enjoyed with my old ES8183. I think that's a really useful addition and I would have liked a charging stand at this price point. If I have one minor criticism concerning the design and operation of the ES-RF31 is that the bulk of the shaving head can be a little difficult to manipulate in those awkward areas. But, this is minor and perhaps to be expected when having the comparative luxury of a four blade shaver. Overall, I'm very, very pleased with the ES-RF31. Another terrific Panasonic shaving product at a price that puts both Philips and Braun to shame. I highly recommend Panasonic wet & dry shaving products and the ES-RF31 in particular for its capability and quality versus the very reasonable price.
Review: Good close shave - I purchased this as a substitute for my manual razor because I was sick of ingrown hairs. I've now been using for a few months and I'm pleased to report that in that department, it has fulfilled the requirements perfectly. No more ingrown hairs since I've started using. Another plus is that I get a much closer shave than I had anticipated I would get from an electric razor. It is very almost as good as a manual razor, so I don't feel like I'm missing out in that regard. I've found the battery life to be pretty good too and the indicator light is helpful for knowing when you need to charge before it runs out. I charge it overnight and good to go for another couple of weeks. So far all positives. The only downside is that it takes much longer to shave than it did with a manual. I find I have to go over areas under my chin multiple times before it gets every hair and I often realise an hour or so after shaving I've missed a spot or two and have to come back. So I can't give it 5 stars for that reason, but overall a solid piece of kit. I bought it during one of the Prime sales and I would say it was worth it for the sale price. Probably wouldn't pay full RRP.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top quality shaver and great price!
*by P***N on 16 November 2023*

I have had several so called top quality shavers that go well into 3 figure sums like the Braun series 9 and Panasonic ARC 5 and 6 and none of them are any better than this £60 shaver from Panasonic and in fact under perform compared to this EF31 I do think when it comes to shavers like so many products manufacturers play the numbers marketing game trying to outdo each other in the case of shavers it's blades Panasonic themselves are guilty of this with their latest top of the range '6 blade shaver' when in fact the actual shavers have only 2 cutting blocks but supplement this with clever trickery with foils. Braun are also guilty of this but have recently took a backward step in my opinion by now incorporating the blade into the foil itself on there top of the line series 7 and 9 shavers. My original Braun series 7 from 10 years ago was the best shaver I ever owned but unfortunately the battery died after many years of sterling service but this older Panasonic EF31 model which itself is now quite venerable is the closest to that original Braun series 7. The build quality is excellent well made in Japan , no frills just a cable, brush and soft case (I've purchased an after market hard case that fits perfectly) Marketed as 4 blades but there's 2 cutting blocks under the foil head but crucially there are spaced further apart than standard shavers like Braun and the 2 extra foils are between the live cutting blocks and this is a crucial design feature in my opinion. It doesn't have a fancy % power remaining display but a simple 3 block LED power display, the head doesn't swivel in a myriad of directions or different planes but can swivel side to side, the foils do move independently though in and out and feel very comfortable against my skin. How close does this shave?...very close in fact best in class and punching well above its weight , it's relatively quiet in operation and feels nice ergonomically in the hand being well designed. Charging from empty takes an hour to full and the full tank will give around 45 mins of shaving time. Thoroughly recommend this shaver at £60 it's a no brainer if you are looking for a foil shaver of exceptional performance.
