A Truly Great Shaver!
Really don't like a dry shave, so I went looking for a wet/dry electric option. A little over a year ago I bought the Panasonic ES8168. It gave a good shave on the face but I needed to go over the neck several times for the closeness I wanted. All in all a good shave...but not great. Also, I wasn't crazy about the cleaning/drying/charging station - I didn't like having to buy the refillable cleaning units and it took almost four hours to complete all cycles.
Recently I picked up the ES8243A and couldn't be happier. Firstly, the shaver's appearance is much nicer than the online photos... the blue on the front is dark and the sides and back are slightly rubberized black (I think it is black). So if you are holding out for the black model ES8243K (with the cleaning unit) don't bother. The 8243A is the new "four blade" technology - purported to be a faster, closer shave. I have found it is what has been advertized - a faster and closer shave! The "four blades" actually refers to the outer foil, a "squarer" design than the 8168. There are still two inner blades, but spaced farther apart than the 8168. For me, the new head design touches more of my face than the 8168 and therefore cuts faster. I have read on other sites that the foil is a thinner steel, allowing the inner blades more access to the skin. The shave has been fast, gliding easily and for the most part needs only one pass for the reults I want. Big improvement!
Ergonomically the shaver is easier to hold than the 8168 and the head design hits all of the hard to reach areas of the neck.
Have been using it with Billy Jealousy Hydroplane shave cream, a great product. Because you only need to apply a very thin layer it is perfect for an electric shaver. The ES8243 glides effortlessly over it and the build-up on the razor is minimal. I usually rinse it 3 -4 times during each shave.
Until this shaver I have been of the opinion the electrics couldn't compare to the closeness of the Gillette Fusion (my previous fav), but all that has changed with the ES8243A. For the first time I can say the shave is as close as the non-electric options, and with no razor burn. IMO Panasonic has hit the bullseye with this product.

Very Impressive ! May be the best yet
I have many high end shavers. The quality if the shave outstanding with great ease and no facial burning. Blade shavers do not believe that an electric can shave close. The truth is some shave too close and cause skin burning from too close of a shave. A quality shave needs to have a balance - this one hits the mark - Close and comfortable, and fast.
I only wish they would go back to the induction chargers. They are those will pay the additional on a high end product.

Save your money
I bought this shaver a couple of months ago and I stopped using it. If you do not grow a great deal of facial hair then this shaver will be fine to purchase, but i have hair on my neck and this does not get to them unfortunatly. The top part of my face the machine shaves but I will have to reshave in a day. The cleanining system is the worst part of this deal it says it is an automatic cleaning system but it really doesnt clean at all, I have to dissassemble the shaver and run it through with water to get the hairs out of the way. My advice is still with the razor blades it will cost less money and less headache.

Need an easy shaver that cleans itself?
This shaver works like a charm. I have had mine for almost 2 years now while mine does need new blades it gave a little over a year on the first set of blades before needing to replace them. Which is really good compared to others I have tried.
The fact that it cleans itself is awesome. I havn't used any others but I cant complain really about this one. The LCD read out on the time isn't always correct but its usually fairly close. The charge time is great also. I do highly recommend this if your looking to get a really good abit expensive razor it is worth it though.

Good shave ok cleaner
This is a good shave but I have my doubt about the cleaning unit it shuts down after cleaning without going thru the drying phase. I have to restart and set to dry only. It has settings to set it up for recharge,clean,and dry but always turns it self off after the first process.

So-So
I was hoping to be blown away by this product based on the great reviews it had received but I was under-whelmed. Maybe other shavers simply can't measure up to Braun but again if you read the reviews you'd think this one would have been closer. I am not a burly, thick bearded man but it's nice to not have to use a razor every day. I find myself trying the electric but after three passes I usually give up and grab the razor. Sort of self-defeating. Sorry can't give this one even a silver star- I'd look to Braun.

Bad Luck with this Razor - Terrible Service from Panasonic
I bought this razor for my birthday in 2008. I usually use a non electric razor. I was excited that I could get this razor wet and use shaving cream. Unfortunately the razor left my face feeling chafed. After using the razor for maybe 10 times I put it away for a few months. Later, I tried to use the razor and it would not turn on! I tried recharging and tried turning the switch on and off, no sound out of the razor.
I got hold of Panasonic. I was excited to hear that there is a 1 year warranty on their product, they even offered to send me a free shipping label. They LIED to me! I called them 5 times in 15 days asking what happened to the email they were supposed to send me. They told me they mailed me a coupon, I never got it. Today when I called they told me they were having problems getting the shipping labels to customers! They offered to reimburse me for mailing my unit to them. I am shipping it today. Wish me luck!

Locks up, misses spots
My main issue with this shaver is that sometimes it won't start. The battery's not dead- if you turn it off and on a few times it eventually starts and then it works. Granted, I don't recall it doing this fresh out of the charger, but I'd like to be able to travel for a few days without bringing the charger along.
Also, it's difficult to get some areas on my neck. I used to have a norelco with 3 rotating heads, and I don't remember having that problem.
Finally, keep in mind that you're supposed to replace the detergent/filter cartridge monthly, and they're currently $12 for a 3-pack, so you've got $4 a month in consumables.

Worked well for almost two years, then gave out
I've used this shaver pretty much daily for the last couple of years, and I was happy with its performance. However, it recently stopped charging. Now the battery is dead and it will not charge. When I opened it up, there was water inside. I haven't submerged the unit nor do I shave in the shower, it got water inside from my rinsing it under the sink.

Wahl foil screen and cutter
My husband and son swear by the Wahl Dynaflex ID electric razor and have had so much trouble finding parts for it since it was discontinued. They were thrilled when I found the screen and cutter on the internet. I was amazed at how quickly my order came. They are thrilled now that they can shave with their razors again. Thank you.

nice replacement screen
I recieve the replacement screen rather quickly. Wasn't sure if it would fit my shaver since my shaver wasn't listed on the products list, but it did. It arrived in prefect condition. I've been using for a month now and no problems. It seems to be stronger then my orignal screen. It's not the gold, but silver.
Rating :
Wahl Dynaflex super close screen
This screen usually provides a close, quick shave. It is both closer and faster than my Braun shaver but not as comfortable. My skin often feels a bit tender after the Wahl shave. The Wahl shaver is noisy as well, much more so than the Braun, and vibrates more than the Braun. Still, the bottom line on the Wahl is a close, fast shave unmatched by any other electric shaver I have ever used.

Questions & Answers
Question : Does anyone have any pictures or instructions for grooming a Yorkie-Poo dog?
The groomer that I just took my dog to, shaved his entire body! I was SO upset! He doesn't even look like the same dog! I wanted him groomed but with the hair still long. HELP! I need some pictures to carry to my next groomer or to possibly do it myself.
Obviously I would not burn my dog. I do not appreciate the comment either.
Answer:
I am guessing your groomer shaved your dog because the dog's fur was matted. Do you remember if your dog had a lot of tangles or knots? I believe a yorkie-poo is part poodle. Both poodles and yorkies need a lot of grooming, I would say monthly professional grooming is needed and you should brush your dog daily to help keep out the mats. Dogs tend to get mats around the ears, under their legs, on their tummys and near their bottoms. What happens if the dog isn't brushed and groomed regularly is the dogs hair get really tangled and then it is really uncomfortable for the dog because the mats pull on the skin, trap dirt, etc. Imagine if you didn't brush your hair for months. When dogs are really matted the most painless way to remove the mats is to shave them out. Otherwise, it could take several hours of painful brushing to try to remove the mats, which is very uncomfortable and traumatic for the dog. So as your dog's hair is growing out, really focus on brushing it to keep out the matting and then next time you go to the groomer they will be able to give your dog the cut you want. Now, on the other hand, if your dog wasn't matted, the groomer may have either misunderstood your instructions or they didn't want to take the time to get out a few mats. I would ask people you know for a recommendation on a good groomer. Not all groomers are equal in their ability and especially in how they treat the dogs. A good groomer should have explained why they shaved the dog, and he/she should have probably called you in advance of shaving the dog to let you know what they were going to do. Lastly, I would probably not encourage you to try to shave/trim the dog yourself. It is trickier then it looks and if you do it incorrectly, you can cut the dog pretty seriously. Feel free to brush and bathe your pup at home though to keep the dogs coat in good condition. You happen to have a breed of dog that requires a lot of grooming, so it will be better for the dog and you if you can work on regular maintenance of the coat. Hope this helps!

Question : What is your opnion of men who shave their body hair?
Personally, they look like plucked chickens. But, now it seems to be a common practice.
Does this practice invade personal grooming and based in what our media says what is sexy? Or am I out of touch?
Now, some men are naturally hairless, and that's fine, but that's not what I'm addressing.
Answer:
I don't like lots of hair...I don't wanna be able to run my fingers through it...but at the same time I also don't really like shaved...Trimmed is for me....
Guess i'm kinda like goldie locks.......too much, too little , jst right.....hope the bears don't come home...
but seriously I think it's sexy to see the male form with body hair trimmed and shaped a bit...
Peace and Love

Question : what are some grooming tips for horse shows?
i was wondering if any body has any grooming tips for when you go to a horse show? especially for thoroughbreds....
Answer:
Grooming shouldn't be any different at a show than it is at home.
Your horse should be curried and brushed both before and after your ride. If you need to hose your horse off after it has been ridden, groom it after it has dried (this will reduce the likelihood of your horse wanting to roll). Show Sheen should only be used in tails, and you should use your fingers to pick out shavings (this will reduce breakage).
Trim whiskers, ears, and fetlocks at home before you go.

Question : more grooming products...?
Hi. Can people list me some good grooming products for my twh mare? She's black. I want grooming products for her body,mane,tail,hooves,and face. She has a white stripe down her face, i want something to brihten it up. Please post products for all of the above. Thanks, Brianna
Answer:
Oh basic brushing and grooming you want a curry comb, there are 2 types a metal shedding curry and a rubber curry. I have one of each. You want a face brush. it's small and mad eof super soft bristles so you can safely groom around her face. Then there are the body brushes. Once again there are several types I have one of each texture a stiff one for whisking away dry mud , a med bristled one for a slightly deeper cleaning and getting the finer stuff off and a soft body brush for slicking the hair back down and putting a lil shine to it. Mane and tail you'll want a mane and tail comb or brush but don't brush the hair all the time as it breaks the shafts and will amke a shirter britle mane or tail. Brush maybe once a week. Definately use some sort of condiotner detangler when you do brush it to help prevent tangles and damage. As far as shampoos go there is a line of color enhancing shampoos by Rio Vista. they work awesome. Now for a conditoner after shampoosing I actually like to use Cholesterol on their manes and tails. it's the stuff that ethnic girls use ontheir hair. You slather it in, let it sit and then rinse out, leaves hair super shiny and softer AND helps it grow!!! As for the white strip down her face you can wash it with white n brite shampoo but don't wash her head like you do her body, do whats called hot towel batheing. Fill up 2 buckets of hot water (not too hot tho) and get a bunch of white rags. Dunk one rag into a bucket of clean warm water , wring it out until it is just damp, not dripping and add a drop of shampoo to the rag. Work the shampoo up and down the blaze well. Dunk and rewring that rag as needed to get the blaze slightly sudzy . Then take a clean rag dunk in the 2nd bucket wring and "rinse it away with the non sudsy rag) For the hooves unless you are showing I would just keep a good hoof condiotner on them such as Rain maker , hoof heal or hoofflex. Also you will need a hoof pic to clean her hooves out and in case of thrush keep some Thrush Buster on hand. One application cures the thrush right up. Hope this helps

Question : What might be causing my cat to have bad breath?
She is eight months old and is in seemingly very good health. When I asked the vet a few months ago about it, she said that it is likely from teething, and it should go away by 6 mos. But, it hasn't. And it's baaaaadddd. When she grooms herself, her whole body stinks!
Answer:
it might be from eating its poop it sounds crazy but a lot of cats do that for some wierd reason

Question : Male body hair grooming:how much to do?
I have seen some hairy men who have shaved off bits of their body hair leaving the rest around it untrimmed and it looks awful. No subtlety at all. Yet chest hair can get straggly and messy looking and could benefit form trimming the way models do in magazine adverts.
I do not like the idea of loads of lotions: for girls that is fine. Have you seen a man with aface that has had scrubs etc? Looks unmanly.
Has anyone got a good system for trimming short chest hair to keep it looking good?
Whay do you think nshoudl be shaved, what should be trimmed? I'd lvoe to have a thick pubic bush , would not shave that. What do models do?
sorry, spell check is not very literate
Answer:
You can just simply use hair clippers to trim your chest hair on a number 2 or 3 depending on your chest hair length. I use it to trim my underarm hair too, that gets messy, so trimming gets rid of the deodorant that you can't wash out (I shower every day before anyone mentions it). I cannot see the attraction of shaving your pubes. It looks so effeminate - who wants to look like a pre-pubescent boy again - not me for one. As for making it look thicker I'm up for tips on that one too. I use a razor to shave me nads and never had a problem with itchy b***s. I agree though who want "sculptured body hair it's not like we're trying to get the effect of a topiary garden is it?

Question : What are the best deshedding tools for grooming dogs.?
Okay, I admit it, I can get into the propaganda thing! Brutus, my newfie, can produce a houseful of shedding in one minute. Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration. I've seen this furminator things. They cost a lot. My last furbaby (lab/shep/? mix) didn't have a double coat so he only needed occassional grooming. (Although we pretty much did it daily because he who held the brush is was loved.) Brutus needs daily grooming. Sometimes, twice daily. Can anyone recommend good grooming tools to reduce the hair. If this furminator really a good thing? What about other tools? The name "furminator" puts in mind a bald dog shivering the cold and having all fur terminated on his body. gasp.
Answer:
A newfie not only has a double coat, they have a long double coat. In order to remove the loose hair, you need tools that will get literally "to the bottom of things" and enable you to brush out the coat from down at skin level.
I would suggest 3 tools: First, a matbreaker or an undercoat rake. If the dog has any matted areas, or spots where the coat is so thick it seems too dense to get through, the matbreaker is probably best. If the coat is in good shape, a rake will help remove the dead undercoat. Work from the skin out and literally break up the dense areas or matted coat. Work methodically through every inch of the dog, usually starting with the back quarters and working forward. Use your hand to part the hair in lines as you go, so you can easily keep track of what areas you've brushed.
Second, use a slicker brush. For a newfie's coat, the Franks Univerasal slicker in size Large is probably best. The pins on these professional grade brushes are strong enough to get all the way down into a newfie's coat. Again, line brush from the skin out, not just over the top of the coat. Don't forget classic "trouble spots" behind the ears, and in the armpit and groin areas.
Lastly, use a good metal comb with at least 1 1/8 inch long teeth spaced 1/8 of an inch apart, to get the last of the loose coat and as a way of checking to make sure you've gotten all the dead coat and matts out. A "greyhound style" in Medium/coarse or what is called a "poodle comb" is what the pros use and is well worth the money you pay for a good one.
Those combs with the rotating teeth that claim to remove undercoat don't work well and break easily, and the Furminator on a coat like a newfie will be equally ineffective. Shedding blades are pretty worthless on long coats, as well. Put a bit of money into good equipment and it not only will do the job, but will last. You can probably pick up all three tools for less than you would spend at the groomer to have your dog done professionaly.
You can also check with a local groomer for advice on proper tools. Most times they will be happy to help you out, and even show you how to get the job done, knowing that they could gain a potential customer when you decide you need help, and also knowing that you've made at least some effort at home grooming and so most likely your dog will be accustomed to the process.
