Are the new generations actually better than the older ones? Will the latest foils fit an older Arc 5? Why are some Arc 5’s so expensive and do they actually shave better? A capacitor must operate to its specified value so it is good to test to see if the cap is functioning as a cap. This test will show if a cap is functioning as a cap and as specified. Unfortunately some leaky capacitors will measure to their specified value, so this test is not definitive. The ones ending in -X are particularly impressive with their all-metal build, regardless if it’s a D, E or F revision (the latest G, H and J shavers only come with the standard plastic bodies). Nowadays, the razors in this revision A family are getting pretty difficult to find as they were phased out and replaced by the newer iterations. 2. Revision B (2016) Here’s the only new feature that Panasonic introduced with this Arc 5 Pro line: a bubble making mode.
This is my happy shaving sweet spot which was no different with the Arc 5. It was very easy, and the task of shaving was completed in no time at all. Daily shaving Out of all the different series of electric shavers out there, the Panasonic Arc 5 is probably the most difficult to document. I would actually recommend another 4-blade Panasonic, the ES-LF51-A or the ES-LA63AA. Yes, these are older models, but shave great and mine still work flawlessly after many years. If you want an Arc 5, again I would rather get an ES-LV65 because it shaves great, it’s reasonably priced and I don’t think it’s less durable than the latest revisions.Those cost a lot less, have a great hair trimmer and a premium metal body and are readily available.
As the Arc 5 is a plus-ohm vaping device, it is recommended that you use 50/50 or thinner e-liquid. Why not pair it with our exceptional VAPEcom E-Liquid? These generally apply to any electric shaver, but some are particularly important in the case of the Arc 5 as you’ll see next.

The third Arc 5 generation also introduced some impressive flexing capabilities of the shaving unit ( revision C and up). The flexible shaving head of the latest Arc 5.These are now viable options, especially if we consider the price and that they come with the latest foil. With this Arc 5 comparison and buying guide, I tried my best to showcase the differences between the models, but also to reduce the buying decision to only a handful of important factors. Regarding the better shave you’re getting with the ES-LV65, I would actually blame the comfort rollers present on your other newer Arc5s. Some users feel like the two bars get in their way and cannot get the shaver to cut quite as close. That could be the case here as well and maybe exacerbated by your facial hair like you’ve said or even technique — it’s really difficult to pinpoint it. The new 2022 Arc 5 Pro models come with either a 5 or 3-stage battery level indicator (just like the revision G).
If a user is a daily shaving person then the Arc 5 will impress them with its closeness. It’s so powerful! I personally can feel a significant performance difference when shaving with 20% battery vs 50% or more. These were not easy rules to follow because, as we know, the first step to antique radio restoration is to replace all of the paper and electrolytic capacitors, saving a lot of headache and time. Initial AssessmentThat said, I decided to put everything together into a comprehensive, easy-to-read comparison guide that should provide the answers to the most important Arc 5 related questions. You could do that using a brush (usually included in the box) or some compressed air, but the best way to do it is with water and (optionally) some liquid soap. So the answer is yes, some Arc 5 models do shave slightly better than others or are better in certain specific areas, but the differences are marginal. Taiwan only has four ARC5 models – and as you alluded to, they are not the very latest iterations, which seem limited to domestic Japan. The four Taiwan models are with/without cleaning station, and corded/cordless. I returned the first one and got the only one that was available without the cleaning station: ES-LV67. Thanks to your excellent breakdown and very clear observations, I also saw no need for the cleaning station. The Panasonic Arc 5 has 5 cutting elements: 4 micro-foils and one central cutter.
