Panasonic Ramdash 3-Blade Shaver Shaving Sensor ES-ST29-A Blue

fast shipping, great product!

Arrived as described. The instructions were in Japanese.

Nice looking, arrived promptly, works well - once I figured it out ... it arrived with a manual (only) written in Japanese.Contacted seller, they were sympathetic and sent link to similar model manual in English.

The model that I purchased was the ES-ST29-A (The -A suffix signifies 'Aoi' -meaning blue in Japanese).This model is built in the tradition of many Panasonic shavers before it, and has a similar assembly and mechanism. MADE IN JAPAN.Contains the famous two block and foil shave arrangements similar to many of the more expensive models. Shave is sharp and close. Head and foil disassemble easily for cleaning. The protective cover that protects the shaving foil has small protruding feet molded into it that lets the shaver stand vertically on a bench top. (foil down with cover on)... Innovative.Panasonic replacement inner blades are Part No. ES9068, and Outer foil Part No. ES9087.- The Shaving head is fixed arrangement (does not pivot), but this is not really necessary to operate this shaver successfully as the head angles and geometry have been carefully worked out in the design- Contains a switch lock position for safety when travelling or when left near children. As the unit does not ship with a pouch the lock switch is helpful if travelling. (Model ES-ST39-A does have a pouch, but otherwise seems the same).- Moulding is a high quality plastic moulding - black plastic and a glossy blue plastic (ABS?).- Contains a Li Ion rechargable cell (marked 3.6V).- The shaver is assembled with screws, although they are covered with plugs to maintain the visual appearance. The manual has an exploded parts diagram showing parts and how the unit is constructed.- The charger is multi-voltage from 100V to 240V AC with a two pin Japanese/USA style power pins. (Charger is made in China and appears to be high quality and custom built for Panasonic).- Other accessories that were packaged with the shaver are an Charging stand (model RC9-84), instruction booklet (Japanese), small brush and small bottle of oil.- The charging stand stands upright to charge the shaver. Power pack plug connects to base and there are two contacts on the upper inner sides of the charger that perfectly match with round pins on each side of the shaver. The arrangement is well engineered and solid standing. A small hole is evident (approx 3mm diameter) in the base that you could potentially position on a pin if you required greater stability.The item that I purchased is MADE IN JAPAN, and is primarily intended for sale in the Japanese domestic market, where competition for shavers is fierce.Overall an excellent shaver for the price. Recommended.
