Panasonic's new ARC5 PRO is built specifically for high-performance shaving over thick, flat-lying hair, the kind that cheaper shavers miss. Drawing on Japan's long tradition of sword-making, the five 30° nano-polished blades use the highest-grade Japanese stainless steel, individually tempered and inspected before assembly, and work together with an ultra-fast linear motor delivering 70,000 cross-cutting actions per minute to capture more hairs per pass for a closer, more even finish with fewer strokes. A Beard Sensor+ system scans 233 times per second, boosting power through thick stubble and pulling back in lighter areas for consistent results across your entire face. Designed, engineered, and crafted in Japan.
