No, you really need to use foil shavers every day...... Rotary shavers are better for longer whiskers.
But neither are as good as a wet shave with a blade.

add code GIVEME5 for 5% making it £32.78 delivered,

OOS as of 20th February it seems, but remember the discount code of GIVEME5 when it comes back into stock :wink:

Very good :wink:

Only a small margin, so just beats it by a whisker. :smiley:

It's the best electric shaver I've used in 20+ years of shaving, albeit by a small (but clearly noticeable) margin :smiley:

Just ordered, code still very much valid (29/1/16, 9:40pm) - I hope it is as good as all the reviews on the interweb :smiley: Thanks OP :smiley:

Still in stock and voucher still valid as of 07:26 27/01/16 :wink:

Mine arrived today and have to say, after a first shave with it, I'm quite impressed. Certainly a quicker, noticeably (by me and girlfriend) closer shave than my Braun (I'm a geek and shaved half my face with one and half with the other, just to test it properly :laughing:). And it's a country mile better than the Braun with the new style blade block in it.

Ordered thanks. Voucher still working.

That was mentioned several times in this thread so shouldn't be too much of a surprise.

Mine has just arrived. It looks and feels fine and is now on charge. I must say I'm slightly disappointed to find that you can only charge it in the stand i.e. you can't plug the charger lead straight into the shaver. This means that for extended trips I'll need to take the charging stand with me, which isn't ideal!

Sad but true, but no doubt by the time my foil wears out there'll be another deal :wink:

It would, definitely. The higher cutting speed means a much closer shave which, unlike the Braun series 3, doesn't seem to diminish over time.

Think I might have to snap this up. Was pretty happy with my rather old Braun 5775 (equivalent to a 3 series as far as I'm aware), but having bought a new blade block and finding it's been redesigned so the blades are at a right angle to the foil (instead of straight up) it's not giving half as close a shave.

I'm presuming this would be a considerable upgrade given the previous 3 series comments here?

Looks a good deal. Added to my shaver queue.

The 3 series Braun i have has a sound that is more of a buzz, whereas the Panny has a higher pitched whine like buzz. I reckon its because the panny has a faster motor. Putting a couple of small drops of oil on the foils of the panny makes it quieter.

I ended up buying the braun offer followed by this Panasonic. The Panasonic wins hands down for the closer shave. However, ar least my Panasonic seems to have a very loud piercing sound. Is it faulty??

got this one, lovely close shave, so worth £32.78, thanks op :smiley:

I doubt that you can return a shaver thats been used unless faulty. You *might* get away with it if you clean it thoroughly and repackage it exactly as it was delivered.

Can you return a shaver already used I have both I think I might keep this one

bought this deal (thanks op) as cheaper than new blades and battery for my ES7101. Seems very good. Lovely close shave, mostly on first pass. Hard to say if any better than the 7101 is with new blades in it, but it's much lighter and more compact. Head doesn't tilt but that makes no difference. Would be a good travel option if it could be charged out of the cradle, but should hold enough charge for most of my trips.

That's what I use too.

True

The cleaning station is more than a gimmick, its a device to make you buy their rip off priced cleaning solution to go in it..... its as much of a con as multi blade cartridge razors.
A lot of shaving products can be a right racket, but some mugs do buy into it.

Still showing as in stock as of 19:52 14th January :smiley:

​Personally the idea of a cleaning station is more of a marketing gimic, especially as I'd have to find somewhere to put it with a mains plug - so the bathroom is out of question. Washing the shaver head then applying some light oil (Wahl clipper oil for example) is sufficient I find.

You can use this in the shower. Just dry out and lubricate afterwards.

Never really got on with electric shavers, but i'm hoping that is because I always brought(got given as presents) cheap ones in the past. so ordered this in the hope its a step up in quality.

Bought this on the last deal, it's the best electric shaver I've ever used. Tried Braun, Remington, Philips, Hitachi .... None as close and quick as this. Agree about the nuisance for travel with the cradle, and the battery life is not great - needs recharging weekly.

I've ended up buying both. Looking probably at keeping the Panasonic as can return the Braun locally. Also prefer that you can wash the Panasonic without need for cleaning station and need to purchase replacement cartridges. Reviews of both on Amazon put Panasonic ahead. However the plus on Braun was using in the shower, which think my son would prefer to do and 2 year warranty. Be good to know if you could open and still return.

Not sure what's going on with the Hotukdeals Android app, I'm getting notifications of comments on this deal but when I look the last comment I see was from yesterday...?

Anyways, SSE still has stock and don't forget to use the GIVEME5 discount code :smiley:

If the general feeling from those that have had experience of the Panasonic ST-25 as well as the Braun 350cc is that the Panasonic is better, how can one explain the Panasonic getting to 143 degrees on HUKD in just over 2 days while the Braun got to 1,500+ over a similar period??

You can
OK, but actually feels slower in use to me. Efficient cut, just slower than the larger models.

Great electric shaver at an unbelievable price.

FYI chaps I bought this last year, good razor. For those concerned about razor burn I can say initially there was a little burn but worth noting that after a week or two when the blades dulled down just a bit the razor burn was no more. Thought this may be useful to know if you had any concerns on the matter.
Pleased with mine. Pull the trigger imo. :smiley:

I have this shaver and a top of the range Pani. Both with Linear motors and now I'd never go back to Braun. They shave well and so far have proven more reliable than all the Brauns I've had (about 10 over the years).

The linear motor is worth having to avoid that slow down as the battery gets flatter. The only problem with the ST25 is the stupid charging stand, you can't just plug the charge cable into the shaver body, but at this price, its a bargain.

Some (like me) will tell you this Panasonic is better...... some will tell you the Braun is better.
Shaving is subjective..... you simply wont know which is best for you without trying both.
Dont know about returns.

I would stick with the Braun deal..2 year warranty versus 1 here, better retailer for any issues.They are both good deals though.I had a pansonic a few years ago and was not impressed with build quality myself.Take your pick.

So how does this compare with the £39 Braun 35cc (with Cleaning Station):
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/braun-series-3-350cc-rechargeable-wet-dry-shaver-with-cleaning-station-was-139-now-2371803

Not bothered about the cleaning station just want to know which is better for closer shave and long term dependability?

Are you able to return shavers once opened?

I use this ST25...... its a lot better than the Braun 3 series i also have.
But i still often wet shave with a blade.... as no electric shaver can better it for me.

Ditto, would be good to hear peoples opinions on this aswell! Never electric shaved before but tempted to give it a try after 25 years of wet shaving!

Actually, the motor is a faster 13,000 on the ST25...... The RF31 has a slower 10,000 motor.

I've got the Panasonic ES-RF31.

Had it for nearly 2 years, absolutely fantastic. If this model is even half as good as mine then you'll have a brilliant deal.

£4,50 more from Southern Electric via Amazon.

I wet shave. Does this work on growth of about 5-8mm ?
As I tend
To shave once a week and half. ?

Just ordered

Have been looking to buy an electric razor for a wee while

This seems a great price and good reviews too. Foil razors give better shaves than rotary, just so long as you shave every day.

Many thanks O P .. have some heat from me !

This is similar to one i bought though sure mine is 3 blade and it is a nightmare, better using a rough stone, always leaves your face red raw, this looks the same ???

Electric companies selling shavers whatever next ...

Moderators can you please amend the subject to indicate the price is £32.78 with the GIVEME5 discount code, thanks.

Thanks OP, ordered one

GIVEME5 discount still valid, brings the price down to £32.78 <3

For those more inclined to wet shave using a double edged razor - I did look into it (at length, yes my obsessive nature again!) and ideally would have rather a cheaper shave via double edged blades *but* usually a morning shave is a chore rather than an experience which requires time/effort that a good wet shave done properly with the right kit demands (not to mention the risk of cuts!). Respect to those who wet shave using a cutthroat razor or double edged blades though!

add code GIVEME5 for 5% making it £32.78 delivered,

I agree, the price is ridiculous for a good disposable razor. Just purchased one of the £39 deal ones. Hopefully my hubby will convert. He may just use it between the Mach shaves. Either way can't go wrong at the price.

Can anyone give me advice as to which shaver would be best for 16 year old who doesn't have much facial hair (still fluff) I already bought this one today, http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/braun-series-3-350cc-rechargeable-wet-dry-shaver-with-cleaning-station-was-139-now-2371803?p=27077704#post27078017. But wondering if I'd be better with the Panasonic?

I have a Panasonic, without looking it up I forget the exact model, it was bought in a previous offer a few months back and like this one it is the 13,000rpm speed too and is definitely a good bit better than the 3 series Braun I still have.

I have a reasonably heavy beard. Mine cuts FAR better when used after about 2 to 3 days, which fortunately I am usually able to do. If left longer then it's best to trim off first to short stubble with a beard trimmer, and it then cuts as well as it ever does..

Have only ever used it once as a wet shaver, it works, maybe a fraction better than dry, just it isn't worth the bother of cleaning up, drying out and lubricating so haven't repeated. If I want all that bother, I will wet shave.

Most likely the foil and cutter cost more to replace than the actual shaver... Crazy!

Is that from Amazon ?

Ordered - Many thanks OP and robbino

You can get a basic safety razor for £10 and then the blades are (depending on how many you buy) about 10p each.

How much are they ??

I'm used to Gillette fusion wet shave but blades so expensive !! Thinking of getting an electric razor

I got the Panasonic shaver a few days ago on the other deal from SSE and I must say I'm impressed.
