The Japanese company Panasonic specializes in the production of electric razors, significantly surpassing in this regard its main competitor - Philips. The Panasonic ES 6002 electric shaver model supports both wet and dry shaving and belongs to the highest price category.
Razor features
A distinctive feature of the Panasonic ES 6002 razor is not only the number of knives, but also their curved shape. The lowered edges and raised center contribute to better gliding on the skin. And this, accordingly, guarantees a cleaner shave.
Equipment
The Panasonic ES 6002 electric shaver is delivered in the original packaging with the image of the device itself and water splashes, designed to remind you that you can use the razor in the shower.
Package Included:
- electric shaver;
- docking station with charging and cleaning functions;
- special cartridge for the docking station containing washing liquid;
- power adapter for connecting to a dock or razor;
- brush for cleaning blades;
- case for transportation;
- bottle with oil intended for lubrication of the razor head;
- warranty card;
- Panasonic ES 6002 manual
Only the razor itself is placed in the case. The docking station, unfortunately, will not fit into it. Judging by the reviews on the Panasonic ES 6002, many users note not the best quality case. For its manufacture, a material resembling dermatin was used, which spoils both visual and tactile sensation. At the same time, it is characterized by a rather high resistance to scratches, abrasion and other mechanical influences.

Control
The electric shaver is controlled by a single on / off key. You can lock it with the rotary lever. After that, it will become impossible to press the button. A similar function is provided for transporting the razor to prevent accidental inclusion in the bag. In Braun razors, for example, protection against unintentional activation looks different - the power button is closed by the shaving unit cover. Therefore, you can click on it only after removing it.
The power key activates another mode for vibrating the razor. Its inclusion is carried out after two seconds of clamping the button. You cannot shave in this mode, as described in the Panasonic ES 6002 user manual.
On the right side of the device is another switch. With it, you can fix the head, turning it into a fixed one.
Preparation for operation
For the first use, it is sufficient to fully charge the electric shaver. In addition, you can shave without disconnecting the device from the power supply. According to reviews on the Panasonic ES 6002 razor, the average recharge time is 50-60 minutes.
The charge level is highlighted in blue. The current indicator is indicated by the largest highlighted digit.
During operation of the electric shaver, the charge indicator does not light. This happens for 5 seconds when it is turned on and off. While the shaver is charging, a red indicator lights up, which goes off when it reaches full charge.
Shaving
A full charge of the Panasonic ES 6002 battery lasts for 14 shaving sessions, each of which lasts no more than 3 minutes.
The floating head of the unit can be fixed in three positions: “crouch”, “left” and “right”. In Braun shavers, for example, the capabilities of the head are implemented in a slightly different way. She can move not only left-right, but also forward and backward. At the same time, the head does not have a “squat” option in the razor. According to reviews on the Panasonic ES 6002 electric shaver, its degree of freedom of knives is standard and does not differ from similar mesh models.
By shifting the control key towards the razor head, the built-in trimmer opens. Trimmer length is 25 mm.
A special cartridge with a disinfectant solution is supplied with the device, with which the head is washed and lubricated. It is installed inside the dock. Only one cartridge is included in the shaver kit - additional ones have to be purchased separately. The average cost for a razor Panasonic ES 6002 is 800 rubles.
Unlike its main competitors - Braun and Philips - Panasonic, complete with a cartridge and a docking station, delivers a small tank into which ordinary water is poured. This allows you to purchase only special components for the manufacture of disinfectant fluids.
Shaving Care
There is no specific automatic mode in which the dock determines the need to clean the razor after it is installed. The function is started by pressing the special Select key.
The cleaning process is replaced by a drying process. How long is this going on? Cleaning the razor lasts about 10 minutes, while drying, according to Panasonic ES 6002 reviews, can take 2 hours. This starts the fan. Therefore, it is best to clean the razor away from sleeping and other rooms. An indicator on the electric shaver alerts you to replace the cartridge with a new one. The instructions for the razor do not contain information on how many cleanings one filling is enough. However, it is indicated that the volume lasts a maximum of 6 months.
The cleaning process is standard. The shaving head is placed in a special bath in which the disinfectant liquid is poured. Then the cleaning mode is activated, after which all the liquid is pumped back into the system. The cycle repeats several times.
Automatic cleaning, according to the operating instructions, washes hairs only from the mesh and knives. However, that under the shaving head, she is not able to clean. After several cycles of shaving and automatic cleaning, hairs remain under this part of the apparatus, which can be washed under a stream of warm water.
Trimmer
The Panasonic ES 6002 electric shaver has a standard trimmer. Of course, in terms of quality of work, it is significantly inferior to professional models. However, a good effect can still be achieved.
Users note that for the built-in trimmer, the results are very good. He removes the hairs, sometimes pulls, but does not cause much pain. Given that the shaving length is not adjustable, the result is very good. The only negative is the process is too long.
The capabilities of the built-in trimmer are enough to trim the temples.
Summary
The Panasonic ES 6002 electric shaver, in terms of the combination of its characteristics and the results it produces, is largely reminiscent of the Braun Series 7 760 cc-4 razors - Panasonic is most often compared to this model.
Series 7 is the top line of Braun brand products, as well as one of the best and high-quality electric shavers on the Russian market. However, the Panasonic ES 6002 is not inferior. She does even better with short bristles than Braun. Moreover, it surpasses it when working in wet mode.
When shaving long bristles, using Panasonic is not always convenient and comfortable. At the end of the procedure, her knives heat up too much, and the trimmer knife built into the head often pulls out too long hairs, which causes not the most pleasant sensations.
The operating time of the Panasonic ES 6002 from a single charge is considerable. However, many users say that it should be slightly larger.
The electric shaver lies quite comfortably in the hand, not too heavy in weight and pleasant to the touch.
The Panasonic ES 6002 electric shaver comes with a convenient case, protective cover and a special brush for cleaning blades. You can choose a device in one of the available colors - silver, black or blue. The model perfectly combines high quality and affordable price, and by the reviews on the razor you can judge the effective shaving.
