Panasonic Close Curves Ladies Shaver Review: ES2207P

Glowing legs, gleaming arms, and stubble-free bikini area aren’t that the dream of every girl? However, most ladies resort to waxing for this. This is because no matter how unpleasant this experience may be, it still is one of the few effective shaving methods out there.

Those who are not comfortable with it tend to go towards electric and manual shavers. However, the problem is, it comes nowhere close to waxing. This, in turn, leaves the ladies back to square one, all the way back to miseries of waxing.

However, the advancements in technology have brought us a step closer to achieving the same closeness with electric shavers. Panasonic is one of the big kahunas when it comes to electric foil shavers. They have some very basic shavers but also have shavers in their line-up to compete with only the very best.

Panasonic Close Curves ES2207P Highlights

Panasonic ES2207P is essentially a cordless three-blade razor. Seemingly, it has got all the bases covered in that it has hypoallergenic blades, is waterproof and a pop-up trimmer for pre-cutting long hair before a final cut or to leave a stubble behind.

However, how these features perform in the real world is the actual question. We have put this shaver to test and will go through different aspects and how it fares. So, without further ado, let's dive right into it.

Pivot Flex Technology - Ensures Constant Contact With Skin

ES2207P has pivoting shaving heads. This enables the shaver to get the hairs from hard-to-reach areas effortlessly. Because of this, the shaver glides over the contours of the body with ease and makes it convenient for you to get hairs from armpits, ankles, and bikini areas.

Wet And Dry Ability - Makes It A Real Champ For Sensitive Skin

You would like to know that ES2207P is 100% waterproof. The sensitive skin of females demands a bit of delicacy and gentility from the shaver and it is where water resistance comes into play.

Because of this ability, ladies with highly sensitive skin can use different creams and foams to keep the skin moisturized during a shave. This, in turn, reduces the irritation and burning sensations to an almost negligible level.

Cleaning - Convenient and Easy

As this shaver is 100% waterproof, you probably do not need a base station for its cleanliness. Just remove the head and rinse it off under the faucet. While rinsing, turn on the power button, this will remove the stubble.

Pop-Up Trimmer - Be Your Own Stylist

The shaver has a pop-up trimmer mounted on it for the detailing of eyebrows and styling of the bikini area if you are interested. Amazingly, this little component can save you the time and money you spend at the stylist.

Price - Does Not Burden The Pocket

Price is easily the best thing about Panasonic ES2207P. You can have this shaver for around $20-25 and considering its features and overall utility this is a great bargain.

Panasonic Close Curves ES2207P Review - What Makes It No. 1 Foil Shaver For Women

Features mentioned above make ES2207P an attractive option but how do those features translate into performance? Let’s find out

Shaving Performance

For a shaver to make its case, it needs to be sharp enough to get all the hairs yet gentle enough to spare the skin from any discomfort. Hence, the criteria to judge the shaver has to be the closeness it provides and the extent of comfort while it is at it.

Closeness of Shave

A close shave demands sharp blades, ES2207 has ultra-sharp stainless-steel blades that provide you a definite close shave in few passes. In addition, these blades are hypoallergenic that are gentle on sensitive skin to minimize irritation.

Besides the blades, the foils of the shaver also play a key role in providing a closer shave. These foils are ultra-thin that bring the blades closer to skin that in consequence translates into cleaner and closer shave.

A number of blades featured in this particular shaver are three which is enough to get things done quickly. The three blades work together and provide you a lot faster shave than the majority of shavers within the same price range.

Comfort

Besides the flexibility of the head, the shaver is waterproof that makes it even kinder on the skin. While shaving on the sensitive parts of the body you can use foam or cream to keep it gentle. This prevents the nasty bumps and the misery of burning sensation you have to go through with a dry shave.

In addition, the ladies that are fond of shaving in the shower can also use the shaver as per their wishes. Use it in the shower or in the bathtub, there would not be an issue as the entire body of the shaver is waterproof.

Construction and Design

Panasonic has encased in a white and mauve plastic body with gentle tapers on top to make it ergonomic. There are no fancy bits of coating on the body and this gives it a classic orthodox look.

Panasonic ES2207P comes with three ultra-sharp blades and ultra-thin foil for a precise shave. For even the toughest of hairs, all it takes is a single pass of these ultra-sharp blades and every strand disappears.

Ultra-thin foils of the shaver enable the blade to cut close to the skin and consequently give a closer and cleaner shave.

Besides the design, the quality of construction and material used in the shaver is durable and sturdy. Panasonic has used a kind of flexible plastic that can absorb the impact of accidental falls. Therefore, the durability and the resistance against wear and tear offered by accidental falls are something you should not perplex about.

Convenient Cleaning

The water resistance of the shaver makes washing extremely easy and convenient. In case you shave under the shower, you would not even need to clean because the water from the shower removes all the debris.

However, in case you are into dry shaving, all it takes is the wash under the faucet and it will do all the cleansing shaver needs. In case, stubble has stuck inside, turn on while it is under the water and those hairs would wash away.

Battery Health and Runtime

The battery is not really a strong suit of this Panasonic device which is a bit disappointing for an otherwise brilliant product. It takes almost 12 hours to charge and lasts only about 15-20 minutes. The runtime is enough for at least two complete shaves but considering the time it takes for charging it is a bummer.

In order to make this shaver economical, Panasonic had to make some compromises and this is one of them. However, if you plug it in at night and use it in the morning, you can work around the problem. For the close shave that it provides, it is the trouble a lot of ladies would find worth taking.

Another disappointment in this regard is that it charges only 110V. Therefore, if you are planning to take this beauty on a trip outside the USA, you need to make other plans. However, the charger itself is very compact and you can plug the shaver directly into an electrical outlet without any trailing wires

Panasonic ES2207P VS ES2216PC - Which One Presents A Better Case

For the ladies who want their shavers to be a little fancy, ES2216PC is an option that would definitely get your attention. Unlike the ES2207P, it features a modern design with a pink coating to give it a bit of feminine touch.

Though the quality and material used in both shavers are the same, the number of shaving elements differ by one. ES22016PC features four blades to make it a bit more aggressive and faster than the ES2207P. If the ES2207P has failed to meet the standard of closeness you want, ES2216PC would surely be a better bet.

Another major difference between these two shavers is the accessories that come with them. The ES2216 comes with a bikini comb that you can use to style the bikini area into whatever shape you want.

ES22017, on the other hand, does not come with any additional accessories. Therefore, if you are into styling the bikini parts and have sensitive skin, the bikini comb in ES2216 can make a great difference.

When it comes to charging and run time, both of these take 12 hours to charge. However, with ES2207P you get 20-30 minutes of runtime as opposed to one hour of ES2216PC. This is a considerable advantage if you are one of those slow shavers like me who like to take their time.

In case you don’t, there is nothing to be worried about as ES2207 also has enough features to provide you with a stubble-free shave.

Conclusion

ES2207 presents a great option for ladies who are looking for an alternative to waxing. It may not provide as close a shave as waxing but this would spare you from the miseries of waxing. Waxing should be a once-a-few-months thing, don’t you think?

It comes with three ultra-sharp blades that are hypoallergenic and these provide a close and smooth shave. With its wet and dry utility, you can use it in the shower and this further makes it skin-friendly and increases its performance.

Although we can be critical of the low runtime and low motor power, at $20-ish it is a remarkable job by Panasonic to come up with this good a shaver.

Both of these shavers provide great value for money and this is what makes them consumer favorites.
