This is the closest shave I've ever gotten from an electric razor. Also the smoothest and quietest experience. This is hands down the closest shave I’ve ever gotten from an electric razor. I’ve owned three different Braun models over the years and this Panasonic outperforms them all. The closeness is noticeably better and it gets to the skin without requiring multiple passes.
