The best electric shaver for men!
The Panasonic ES-SL41-S electric shaver has three sharp blades, a Multi-Fit Arc Foil and Wet & Dry cordless operation.
The Wet & Dry shaver allows you the choice of either a wet shave at home or a quick, dry shave while on-the-go - either way, it provides you with the same smooth, clean shaving experience that you need from an electric razor.
3 Blade Cutting System
Two distinct foil patterns work in combination to capture and cut even the most difficult parts of your beard.
In addition the 30* acute angled inner blades, perfected to Nano level precision, cleanly cut even tough beards and provide a close, gentle shave.
Multi-Fit Arc Blades
Round shaped outer foils mean the shaver’s head is constantly in touch with your skin, including tricky areas like under the chin. The result – a smooth and efficient shave experience.
Wet&Dry and Easy Cleaning
Switch open water shutters to allow water to flow freely through the razor unit. Shutters allow for an easy, quick cleaning of the inner blades without having to remove the outer foil.
Carrying Holder
Convenient carry holder for storage or travel use. Also protects the shavers power button from accidentally being pressed.
Charging
The indicator light glows red while charging the elctric razor. Provides up to 21 minutes of shaving time once fully charged.
Pop-up Trimmer
Great for grooming your moustache, sideburns or for use as a beard trimmer. Just pop up when ready to use.

Our Expert review of the Panasonic ES-SL41 3 Blade Foil Shaver
What type of shaver is it?
General opinion is that there are 2 main types of shavers, the rotary shaver and in the case of this Panasonic ES-SL41, a foil shaver. This foil shaver is a 3 blade wet and dry shaver. This simply means it has 3 foils and can be used safely for wet or dry shaves. This particular electric rechargeable Panasonic shaver has a flexible head that is designed to move with the contours of your face that’s supposed to provide a closer more comfortable shave.
What’s good about it?
Foil shavers give an excellent shave, often the result not being hugely different from using a razor and shaving gel. The big plus point with the ES-SL41 is that it has 3 foil blades which give a better cut compared to other 2 blade shavers, these foils are also rounded so they have a far better skin coverage, which is especially helpful for the tricky areas. The foils can also be replaced and the shaver easily cleaned. The battery is also good, providing up to 21 minutes of shaving time on a full charge.
Are there any drawbacks?
Unlike rotary shavers you can only really go in one direct with the ES-SL41 rather than in a circular motion.
Should you trade up for the Panasonic ES-SL41?
The tripled arced head is a big leg up on other foil shavers and personal grooming tools and certainly worth upgrading to.
