I'm looking to purchase the Panasonic ES-SL41-S 3 for everyday use shaving my head only. Would this item be a good choice?

Razor works great on face and neck. I used it on longer hair on the back of my neck recently so I think it may work well on your head. Give it a shot. Worse case return it.

Having not shaved my head as yet with this unit, i probably would if I needed to. It conforms to the face nicely so it should do a good job on the head also. Though not having done so I can't really say.

Probably not, though it gives a close shave, I do not think it would be close enough. But facial hair is thicker, so it may work.

I have both (bought the ES8103S first), and the ES8243A is by far the better shaver for me. My 60+ year old face has some tough hair growth and getting a close shave was always a dream, until the ES8143A.A shave does take me 4 to 6 minutes due to some tough under chin areas so I only get 3 to 4 shaves per charge but for me it is worth it. I get up to a year on the foil/blades before I have to replace them. Unfortunate the foil/blades are so expensive. The shaver is 4 years old and going strong.

I agree. It's very noisy. Much more so than previous Panasonics and Braun. Also, for me it did not shave well, wet or dry. Another problem is that the shaver heads get HOT and uncomfortable, soon after you start shaving.

I have the Panasonic and after a few months of use, it just does not work. Tried calling company and they said I HAD to use shaving cream !! - I got this because I wanted to NOT use cream, but even with the cream it stopped working; now it is over 2 years and I still cannot bring myself to throw it out.anyone have a good replacement electric womens shaver?

Sorry but I am only using it for my face but it works great for that purpose, there might be something better out there for shaving the head.

My beard is really tough and it takes quite a while for me to get a close shave, but the Panasonic does a better job than any other shaver I've ever used. Leave the cleaning base at home and just take the charger/cord with you on the road. I can get about 10 shaves on a charge, but I plug the shaver in overnight when on the road. If you clean the shaver under running water you will never *have* to clean it in the base, although that's what I do when not travelling. It's a great shaver... You can't go wrong. I've got the ES8228 and the ES8109. They're pretty much the same shavers with different trim. I replaced a Braun 360.

From what I understand, the 2 most expensive skull-shavers are a little more durable and can be used in the shower. I use the basic model and it works fine for me.

No, this is not a close shave for every day use on the face. This is an excellent body shaver, but the attachment that comes with will easily take care of stubble on the chest and such. For use on the face, you'd want Braun Cruzer 5 Face Cruzer, 5 Face Shaver . It's by far the best I've ever used, and it's only a bit more expensive than this. It can also sit in your shower, if that's your concern.

I purchased this trimmer from Amazon in March 2010 for $47.99. They obviously realized people were willing to pay far more. As to performance, it works quite well and that includes facial hair. That is, if you're looking to knock down a beard before shaving or if you're into the two day growth look. I believe their reason for the "not to use for facial hair" has more to do with preserving sale for products specifically for the face than it does for anything else.

I have very sensitive skin around my neck and this is the first razor that does not cause major irritation. I have a Norelco, a Povos and a Remington and the Panasonic is by far the best electric razor I have ever used. I will be using it exclusively in the future. Really well made and holds a charge better than aby of my others. Hope this answers your question. Bruce

Try website www.goodmans.net!! This is where I got my Norelco SensoTouch 3D 1280 shaving head for the fraction of the cost!! I paid 60 bucks for mine and it is the same thing!! I saw your item on there also!!

I don't shave my head, but I can't imagine why this wouldn't work well for you. I am absolutely sold on this razor for normal face-shaving duties.

I've been using Braun shavers for a few decades and have been happy with them. Because some folks said they really liked the Panny I bought one that I planned to keep in my car. I tried it at home and my face felt like I had shaved with a roll of barbed wire. I then looked at reviews of other full size Panny shavers and the reviews tend to be black or white - some folks love them and some had my experience - there weren't many shades of gray in the reviews. So if you have sensitive skin stay away from Panny shavers. (Note that I have a lot of Panny products I use and like, including 4/3 format DSLR camera lenses designed by Leica that smoke much more expensive Canon and Nikon lenses.)

Can you tell me how this shaver performs? It is a bit pricey, and there are only two reviews on Amazon's product page, one not even by the user, but by his wife. How does it do getting the hairs on the neck? I often suffer from razor burn on my neck, and also am getting tired of having to rotate my 6 yold Norelco (battery is also dying) in circular patterns several times over the same spots to get a close shave..

Hi Richard,Yes. From page three of the Operating Instructions: "Thank you for choosing a Panasonic shaver ES-LT41. With our WET/DRY technology, you can enjoy using your Panasonic shaver dry or in the shower or bath for gentle and easy shaving. Please read all instructions before use." You can use lather, too. It seems as if that would be awfully messy, but in the shower, who cares?Full disclosure: I've gotten such terrific dry shaves since I bought this little jewel that I haven't tried wet shaving. Have fun!Grant. :-)

Good. My husband uses it daily to shave. I use it daily to apply make-up. We have not had an issue.
