Panasonic ARC5 Electric Shaver vs Philips Norelco 2400 Series Shaver

The Panasonic ARC5 is the closer, faster shaver: five nano-polished blades, a 14,000 CPM linear motor and a 16-direction pivoting head suit men with dense or coarse beards who want a quick, smooth finish. The Philips Norelco 2400 is the simpler, more forgiving rotary: three self-sharpening heads, a 5-minute quick charge and easy rinsing suit men with sensitive skin, lighter growth or a tighter routine. Owners rate the ARC5 higher on closeness and build; the 2400 wins on simplicity and skin comfort for beginners.

• Choose the Panasonic ARC5 if you have a heavy or coarse beard and want the closest, fastest foil shave with a pivoting head and beard sensor.
• Choose the Philips Norelco 2400 if you have sensitive skin or lighter growth and want a simple rotary shaver that is easy to rinse and quick to top up.
