Japanese precision engineering at its finest. I love this machine. it's a piece of art. Minimal design and maintenance! Close shave. I hope it will stick around for another 20 years. However I do worry about dust build-up inside the mechanics as I have yet to find a way to completely disassemble it.
I just bought one of these and love it! Close, comfortable shave. When the batteries die you just pop in some that you've had lying around recharging. When the foil/blades give out, recycle the entire shaver and buy a new one for $15. It's so tiny it's like shaving with a buzzing credit card, but you'll get used to it.
Just a tip. You shouldn't use the brush directly against the edge of the blades (like at 0:45). You will cut the hairs of the brush and it will dull the blades. And you should definitely not tap any hard objects directly against the blades (like at 1:35). I have a Panasonic Arc 3 and the manual says its fine to brush from front to back or vise versa (parallel with the edge, that is). I guess it should apply to this shaver as well. As a general rule keep in mind that both the foil and blades of foil shavers are quite delicate and you should be careful when handling them.
I like that old Sony travel shaver because of the flip case (impossible to lose) and its trimmer. During a recent visit to Japan I considered buying the newest model of basically the same razor. However it was three times the price of this Japan's very bottom model. The problem with the ES-RS10 is that it is so low cost, it is cheaper to toss and replace (at least in Japan) than to replace the two parts that can be (foil and cutting edge). At Bic last week it was 1500 versus 1800. I keep several in my travel stash in Bangkok so that I am never without a razor. Even though it takes a long time to shave it does the job in minimal space. Plus, you can choose different colours to code the age of the unit.
I would say depends on your beard thickness. Mines not too thick and I've had similar electric shavers last years and year. I believe you just change the foil head on this one when you feel it needs it.
@@gian006 Hey thanks for the support. I will be doing a review on it when their kickstarter is live (so please use the link from my review when I publish it) however you can get a sneak preview of the shaver here www.indiegogo.com/projects/evo-shaver-world-s-smallest-travel-shaver-ever/coming_soon
+Aaron Kanter I have heard good things about the dollar shave club, cheapest method is double edge shaving though. It's a bit harder to travel with razors though so you'll have to buy them at your location
+Packing Lite Yes, the shape of the rest of the handle is perfect to hold between thumb and forefinger; for the toothbrushe is harder to cut and use it correctly, maybe there are fine ones.
It's small and cute, like shaving with a credit card. It's OK for a 12-year-old boy just entering puberty, but for a grown man it's almost useless. It misses too many whiskers and they grow longer with each passing day. Eventually you have long grown-out whiskers here and there which must be cut with a conventional blade razor or even scissors. You can pass this razor by.

I still use it and have recently replaced the blade, its such good value

The same brand actually do make an even smaller thinner and more credit card sized verison.

so seven years later ! how long did it ,or the blades last?
They actually are still going strong, although I dont use it quite that frequently. I have just changed the blade though but I dont think it needed it
how long does the razor last before the blades or the whole thing has to be replaced?

Made in Japan, absolutely better than Made in China
You forgot to add "anything"!
I'm curious how this compares to the Braun in your opinion, as I've had the same one as you for ~10 years and trying to find something even smaller
+Tomek I'd say it's just as good but I miss the little flip out trimmer from the Braun
Packing Lite cheers for the super quick reply! I've never actually used the trimmer so this might be just the thing for me (:
Thanks for review!
Youre welcome
Do you know of any USB C shavers?
That would be a great idea, I think I saw one or two on kickstarter or coming soon to kickstarter.
@@PackingLess Got a link of one you recommend? I backed the passport 2 after your latest vid!

@@PackingLess will do and thanks! Looks exciting.
How irritated was your skin using this travel razor??
very little if at all, its very smooth
I use a proglide. I'm probably wasting my money. Anyone know if dollar shave club in US is good.

Amazon bro
For shaving I cut a classic plastic shaver in half.
+Tanuki A disposable one?
+Packing Lite yes ☺
+Tanuki I've seen that done with toothbrushes too. Still comfortable to use?
+Packing Lite Yes, the shape of the rest of the handle is perfect to hold between thumb and forefinger; for the toothbrushe is harder to cut and use it correctly, maybe there are fine ones.

Thats a fair breakdown. I do prefer wet shaving myself now too.
Yes it should have been reviewed by someone who can grow a beard and not butt fluff.
