If you’ve been looking for a superior shaver then here’s your chance to snatch one up at half the price! Regularly listed for $599.99, the Panasonic ES-LV81-K Arc 5 Multi Flex Wet/Dry Nanotech Rechargeable Shaver with Vortex Cleaning System, Black is now going fro only $219.99 as today’s Amazon’s Deal of the Day (with $50 post-purchase rebate). You save $330 (or 55%) off the original price on this technologically advanced shaver that’s loaded with a variety of cool features to deliver a very comfortable shave.

The fully loaded men’s wet/dry washable ES-LV81-K electric shaver is a five-blade (Arc 5) shaving system, which means more foils for better coverage and reduced shaving time (the hypoallergenic blades and foils cause less irritation and are best for sensitive skin). Also featured is 30-degree-angle Nanotech blades and Lift-Tech outer foils to cut hair at its base with close, accurate precision. Its Multi-Flex pivoting head allows the shaver to glide along the contours of your face (chin, jaw line and sideburns) uniformly so that everything is covered, while still providing maximum comfort.

With a fast 14,000 CPM linear motor that eliminates tugging and pulling that can sometimes occur at the end of the charge, the ES-LV81-K electric shaver has peak power right up until the end of a charge. It’s also easy to recharge the shaver’s Lithium-Ion batter; just insert the shaver into the automatic cleaning and charging system for a clean, renewed shave. When purchasing the shaver, you’ll get a travel pouch, 10-stage LCD display, travel lock switch, and pop-up trimmer. Optional accessories include: foil (WES9171PC), blade (WES9170PC), combo set (WES9030P), and cleaning cartridges (WES035P). The shaving system weighs 7.1 ounces and measures 2 by 2.8 by 6.3 inches (LxWxH).

Why would GadgetReview write up a hair trimmer? There’s no display and no buttons — how could it be any fun? Well, this particular shaver has one particular trait in common with the items on which one would normally bestow the moniker of “Gadget”: a Lithium-Ion battery. But, does this elevate it to gadget status?

My first impressions of the device were pretty good. The handle is covered in a soft rubber, and it doesn’t feel cheap in your hand. Attachments are easily swapped, and cleaning it when you’re done only takes a few seconds. I was surprised at the vast number of attachments it was bundled with. So many in fact that it’s not possible to fit them all in the included tray. Strange. It took me a while to determine that Wahl is likely intending that you’ll choose one of the trimmer attachment widths and put the unused accessories away somewhere.

In the box:

• nose/ear trimmer attachment
• electric razor head
• Two trimmer blades of different widths
• Three attachments of varying lengths for each of the two trimmer blades
• A small comb
• A tiny brush for cleaning the trimmer blades
• A utilitarian plastic tray to stand everything up in
• Charging cord

My intention was to compare this to my existing electric razor, but as the review progressed I realized that they address different trimming needs. For example, I find that Wahl’s 1″ wide electric razor attachment is too small to allow for quick convenient shaving; something the standalone handles with ease. However, my razor has only one ‘edging’ capability, and it sort of sucks. It’s not conducive to managing curved lines, and there’s no way it’ll fit into your nose or ear. So, the Wahl is much more convenient if you’re into beard artwork or have hit the point in your life where you need to trim those other unfortunate locations. Lastly, if your face has been neglected for a few days the Wahl provides a way to reduce the scruffiness to a point where my razor can deal with it better. I dont think the Wahl is a good replacement for a good electric razor, but it definitely adds functionality that most other razors lack.

And about the battery, the reason I even considered writing this review? I have to say, the battery in this thing lasts forever. I’ve only charged once since I started using it a month ago, and it’s not showing signs of slowing down at all. But does it make it a gadget? Probably not. It will, however, work hard to help you keep your facial hair in line. As they say, a clean shaven gadget geek gets the gamer girl. And if they aren’t saying it now, they will soon.
