Panasonic Arc 5 Palm Shaver Review: Japanese steel

This said that the performance is still delightful compared to most travel ranges, provided you do not let your hair grow too long. Like many foil razors, the ARC 5 does not like to cut the hair longer than a few millimeters. Shaving longer mustache takes a large number of gaps – and it will almost certainly enter a few painful hair pulls. The ARC 5 is a clean, clean razor for those who are already neat and clean.

The ARC 5 is also not a very detailed razor. This is a device without an attachment that does what it does: it is widely tailored to a large surface of your face and neck. If you are someone with a beard line or tightly maintain the geometry of your sideburns or mustache, this razor will not serve you as a daily driver without a separate detail trimmer.

But the lack of sharp edges of self -patients can also be a virtue. The ARC 5 Palma is so wide face, so endless, so boring in my shaving that I feel comfortable to use it in the shower without a mirror. (If you are the person who holds a mirror in the shower without insult, but I do not understand.) Damn, I think I can even feel good to shave as I walk.

But now we are back in a full circle why I still like the white rainbow 5 palm, despite its narrow occasion of use and medium shave and high price. I’m just pleased how I feel in my hand. The pleasure is a disappearing rare quality among the razigated ones.

“Nagori”, the name of the new Mitsui Chemicals material, which provides a strange organic texture of ARC 5, is the species of the word people often like to call it overwhelming. Ugory refers to a kind of instant nostalgia, the species you may feel for a season while the last course of meals passes. It comes from an old Japanese phrase “The remains of the waves”, referring to the shells and songs left behind when the tide returns from where it comes from.

The name of this material almost certainly stems from the ocean minerals that are the basis of it. But it also describes the feeling I got when I removed the razor from his packaging: unforgivable nostalgia for an object right here in my hand. Over time, I know, this feeling will dumb. The slightly granulated plastic of the ARC 5 will start to look just like a slightly smoother plastic.

But for now, I was able to have a little emotional experience with my razor. Whether this feeling costs $ 300 is between you and your accountant.
