- Is the Series 900S good for thick beards?
- Yes. Five blades and 70,000 cutting actions per minute make it one of the fastest shavers Panasonic sells, and the density sensor raises power on thick patches. Owners with heavy growth report a quick, close shave.
- Can I use it in the shower?
- Yes. It is fully waterproof and works wet with gel or foam or dry. Rinse the head under running water after each use.
- How long does the battery last and how long to charge?
- Panasonic rates it at 50 minutes of shaving from a two-hour charge over USB-C. That is enough for roughly two weeks of daily shaves.
- How does it compare with Panasonic's Arc5?
- The Series 900S has five blades and a faster motor with a higher sensing rate, while the Arc5 adds a cleaning and charging station. Choose the 900S for a lighter, simpler shaver; choose the Arc5 if you want automatic cleaning.
- Do I need to replace the blades?
- Yes. Panasonic recommends new blade sets about every 18 to 24 months as edges dull. Replacement sets cost more than those for three-blade models.
- What is in the box?
- The shaver, a USB-C charging cable and a protective cap. There is no cleaning station, travel case or wall adapter included.
- Where is the Panasonic Series 900S cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $598.20, as of our latest check.
