FAQ
Q: Is the Panasonic ARC5 electric razor better than the ARC4 or ARC3 models?
A: The rating of men's electric razors is subjective, but the ARC5 has some advantages over the ARC4 and ARC3 models. The ARC5 has one more cutter on the shaving head, a faster motor, and a power surge feature that makes it a faster shaver. The head also has an additional dimension of movement, making it more flexible and able to follow the curves of your face more completely. Additionally, the side-burn trimmer has a much stronger latch to keep it in place while in use, and the battery charge seems to last longer.
Q: Which model has the gold roller guides in the foil head?
A: The gold comfort rollers are not included in USA models, but they can be purchased separately or obtained by buying the Japanese version off eBay.
Q: How can I clean my LV67 shaver when traveling without a charger?
A: To do a quick clean when traveling without a charger, rinse the shaver head, apply some liquid hand soap to the foil, hold the start button for 2-3 seconds to activate sonic vibration cleaning mode. After a few seconds, hit the start button to shut it off (it will shut off automatically after 20 seconds). Gently remove the foil and rinse both the foil and blade with warm water. Set aside to air dry.
Q: Can I purchase just the cleaning station for my lamdash ES-LV5D-K shaver?
A: It is recommended to clean this shaver manually as it is trivial and takes no time at all. Therefore, there is no need to purchase just the cleaning station.
Q: Is the LV67 newer than the LV65/95? If so, why does the digital display seem downgraded? If not, why is it more expensive than LV65?
A: The LV67 is a newer model than the LV65/95 and features a matte finish that is closer to dark blue/gray than black. The travel lock and battery LED indicator have also changed slightly. The newest models of the Arc5 use an electronic travel lock instead of the manual travel lock used on the ES-LV65-S & ES-LV95-S. Both are effective in preventing the shaver from being turned on by accident while traveling. The LV67 is more expensive than the LV65 due to its upgraded features such as a flexible 16-D shaving head and active shave sensor technology.
