Regarding the better shave you’re getting with the ES-LV65, I would actually blame the comfort rollers present on your other newer Arc5s. Some users feel like the two bars get in their way and cannot get the shaver to cut quite as close. That could be the case here as well and maybe exacerbated by your facial hair like you’ve said or even technique — it’s really difficult to pinpoint it. In my opinion this works even better since it also cleans the blades. Besides, if the water is hard, it will remove any mineral deposits as well.

The foils cut short stubble at skin level, while the specially designed trimmer (gold) is supposed to capture and pre-trim longer, flat-lying hairs that also grow in different directions. This was the highest number of blades on any foil shaver until last year with the introduction of the Arc 6. I agree with you, the Panasonic shavers are easily washable with soap and water (I do it in the shower). I don’t know if I’m gonna give a good usage to the cleaning station, because I don’t plan to buy refills. Also component of RAV system. (2)Also component of RAT system. (3)Also component of RAT-1 and RAV systems. The displays fitted to the 2022 Arc 5 PRO shavers are pretty basic and definitely the result of a cost-cutting decision.Given all of that, the keys to troubleshooting tube equipment are to test the capacitance of each cap to verify that it is functioning and test the leakage to make sure it is not leaking current between circuits.

Firstly, I would like to say: the work you do is incredible, the time you spend to document all these changes and experiences with all these revisions (especially with some being as basic as the reading of the beard density being increased by 13 times per second) is admirable. Your writing is detailed, free from error, and fun to read. This is a shaver that is hard to beat in terms of power output and how close it can shave like other earlier Panasonic Arc 5 shavers. It’s the only shaver apart from the Andis that I would use the language that we use for safety razors, it’s aggressive. It means you can buy a reasonably priced second-generation Arc 5 for example and later on, when it’s time to replace the foil/blades, you can upgrade it to the latest set and reap most of the benefits of the newer razors. The second-generation Panasonic Arc 5 ES-LV65 with the latest revision G/H/J foils. Which one would you choose? I really love this metal body feature and luxury feeling you described earlier for the LV9Q but they sell it at 369 EUR too, although it is an older revision! Would you get the newer LV9U which comes with a plastic body and an inferior LED display but a newer foil? OR should I get the LV9Q and later upgrade the foil with the one the LV9U provides from the start?With this Arc 5 comparison and buying guide, I tried my best to showcase the differences between the models, but also to reduce the buying decision to only a handful of important factors. These were not easy rules to follow because, as we know, the first step to antique radio restoration is to replace all of the paper and electrolytic capacitors, saving a lot of headache and time.

So you’re not really paying more for extra performance — as mentioned, that stays the same throughout a generation/revision. Testing capacitors with a DVM in resistance mode will show which are short-circuited but it will not reveal the leaking capacitors that are only leaking ever so slightly (e.g. have extremely high DC impedance) at high voltages. DVM testing only reveals the short-circuited caps, this is a necessary first step.Interestingly, while the outer foil is new, the two removable inner blades (part number WES9170) are the same ones used by the older shavers in generations 1 and 2. In practice though, the improvement was only marginal compared to the previous Arc 5 foil (revisions A and B). As a side note, do you have any guide(s) or article(s) on facial trimmers for those that want to maintain a beard rather than a clean shave with a electric foil razor? Reply
