Portable Shaver - Panasonic Pro Curve Travel Shaver Review


The best portable shaver is an ideal travel shaver, and Panasonic has a highly recommended model.

Weighing less than a pound and measuring under 5 inches long, the Panasonic Pro Curve travel shaver is definitely designed to be light and easy to carry in a traveling bag.


There is no question that this portable shaver is easy to take along wherever your busy life leads you, but how does it actually perform?

Is it possible to get a close shave that is comfortable and nick-free in such a small shaving unit?

Since it was designed to be used on the go, you get a durable carry case that makes this shaver easy to slip in your bag and hit the road.

When you are ready to use the shaver you simply supply it with two AA batteries and turn it on.

While it is admittedly not the quietest shaver, it is rather typical in sound for the travel shaver market.

The battery life should be about 90 minutes on fully charged batteries, which is more than enough to get you through a weekend trip on just one set of batteries.

You can use it for a dry shave or hop in the shower for a wet shave. When you are finished you simply rinse it in water or use the included brush to get the more stubborn hairs off.

The design incorporates a single blade with foils and a head that moves along with the natural lines and curves of your face. This delivers a very close, smooth shave without cutting or nicking the skin.

The design is intended to not only be efficient at getting the most hair per stroke, but to be extremely comfortable against the skin as well.

There is a built-in trimmer that is a bit wider than you might expect on a travel sized shaver. This is suitable for touching up your beard or moustache while away from home.

This may be a small portable shaver, but it is definitely packed with all the basic features needed to do touch-ups or full shaves while on the run.


What are Consumers Saying?

When you read consumer reviews for the Panasonic Pro-Curve battery operated wet dry electric shaver, you find that it does deliver on its claims.

It shaves close, and is even efficient with thicker hair growth.

Most users find that it shaves close and feels very comfortable on the skin, even if it is smaller in size and perhaps a bit harder to grip than a full sized shaver.

Of course, there are some drawbacks which are typical of travel shavers in general.

For one, you may wake up everyone in your hotel room when you turn this one on, but that is very typical of traveling shavers that operate on battery power.

Some users also find that the battery life is rather short if you use the trimmer. This can easily be fixed by using rechargeable batteries or keeping a spare set with you on all trips.

For quick touch ups and fast shaves on the road you shouldn't have any problems running out of batteries.


Final Recommendation

The Panasonic Pro Curve travel shaver is a great buy for those who need something easy to travel with that's lightweight, and extremely smooth in functioning.

The benefits of the travel size are definitely worth the louder operation, and replacement batteries.
