The Panasonic ARC5 is a rechargeable wet/dry electric shaver built around a five-blade head and a fast linear motor rated at 14,000 cycles per minute. Its head pivots in 16 independent directions, and a shave sensor raises power where the beard is denser. It suits men who want a close foil shave with the option of shaving in the shower, and it competes with Braun and Philips flagships on blade count and flexibility rather than on cleaning docks or app features. Owners generally rate the closeness highly but note the motor's high-pitched whine and the cost of replacement blade-and-foil sets.

Reviewers consistently praise the closeness of the shave and the flexible head, and many say it rivals a razor for everyday use. Complaints center on the loud motor, the price of replacement cutters and foils, and the size of the head in tight areas.
The Panasonic ARC5 is a rechargeable men's electric shaver with a five-blade shaving system. A linear motor runs at 14,000 CPM, which gives up to 70,000 cross-cuts per minute. A shave sensor automatically adjusts power to the density of the beard.
The flexible head pivots independently in 16 directions to follow the contours of the face. A built-in pop-up trimmer handles detailing on mustaches, beards and sideburns.
The shaver is waterproof, so it can be used for wet or dry shaving. To clean it, rinse the head and foils under running water and dry it before storing.
