Panasonic ES-LV97-K ARC5 Electric Shaver Black

Panasonic ARC5 5-Blade Shaver

The Panasonic ES-LV97-K ARC5 electric shaver uses a five-blade system driven by an ultra-fast motor to deliver up to 70,000 cross-cuts per minute. Its 16-D flexible head pivots in 16 directions independently to follow facial contours. An intelligent sensor checks beard density 220 times per second and adjusts power 14 times per second. A 45-degree pop-up trimmer details edges.

Before You Order

The shaver operates wet or dry for use with foam, gel or water. The automatic clean and charge station requires a power outlet and uses a dedicated cleaning cartridge. Replacement blades and foils use the WES9032P set. Ensure you have space for the station on your countertop.

Upgrade From Basic Rotary

This model replaces single-foil or three-blade shavers that lack active sensor control and multi-axis pivoting. The jump is worth it for dense, coarse beards that need the 30-degree nano-polished inner blades and 70,000 cross-cuts per minute. It is not for buyers who only need a simple dry shaver without a cleaning station.
