Costco.ca: Panasonic MILANO 3-Blade Linear Shaver $99

How does this stack up against the Braun Series 8 or 9?
Use it for face and head (bald) and works great.

Need the stand to charge based on comments from prior threads.

Does anyone use this for shaving their head? I'm looking for something to use instead of a cartridge razor

Better off using a one-blade or DE Razor

what was the price then? Seems expensive compared to phillips norelco

Assuming you shave every day, roughly how long before the foil and blades need to be replaced? The combo is about another $55

I have heard the one blade is not good for shaving the head.

From the description:
Advancing the Japanese art of making swords

What a wild ride for the Japanese - slicing off heads to just slicing off the hair from the heads. When a weapon becomes a useful tool.

It's been $99.99 since last December. It only went quickly oos after a post in RFD.

Are you sure? I remember seeing it for ~$150 on Costco.ca last year.

From what I understand based on the bit of research and personal opinion of barbers and their clients on youtube, this is pretty much the next best thing for a close shave. This will sit in between babyliss and the braun 9.

Just curious op, how do you know there are 73 left?

I max the quantity to 9999 in the cart, and if there is less than 9999 in stock it will tell you exactly how many are left.

There are 30 left, now.

That's extremely hard to estimate. Obviously,the more coarse your hair is, the quicker it dulls. I think that's why companies hesitate to state "lasts X amount of shaves" with these products. There are some legit Chewbacca's out there, man.

Yea, that's the one negative, have to use the charging stand :/
