2017 Panasonic Arc 3 Review Update: the Panasonic ES LT33 seems to be losing ground vs. the LT41 which continues to see more sales as the price has dropped about $25.
If the Panasonic ES-LT33-S Arc3 Electric Razor seems a little familiar that is because it is. It is a very similar razor to the LT41 Arc3 with only just a few subtle differences. So, for the extra $1 you may want to just go ahead and get the LT41.
To start it has 3 independently floating foil blades that allow the head to hug your face around the curvy areas like your chin and jaw line. This helps get a close shave and reduce irritation since you won’t have to go over the same spot so many times.
The head also pivots up and down and from side to side which again increase the performance and reduces friction. The reduced friction will also help reduce skin irritation. This should also decrease the amount of time it takes to shave your face which also reduces irritation.
The LT33 uses the same Nanotech blades as the LT41 which are honed to a 30 degree angle. This helps the electric shave get close to the base of the hair giving you a close yet comfortable shave. These blades are also hypoallergenic which is great for those of you with sensitive skin.
Like most other razors these days it is capable of wet shaving. No, you won’t get electrocuted in the shower and you can use your favorite shaving gel.
The motor is powerful at 13,000 cuts per minute but this is one small difference from the 14,000 cpm motor on the LT41.You probably won’t notice that much of a difference but 7% is still 7%! It should still be fast enough to eliminate any pulling or pinching of your hair which would be sure to cause some redness or irritation.
Panasonic tries to make it easy to clean by offering a sonic vibration mode that you can use under a running faucet, this will help shake loose and remove stubble as well as any residue from your shaving gel. Keeping your blades clean will keep them sharper longer and you won’t have to replace them as frequently.
The LT33 also comes with a very useful pop-up trimmer. Simply push it up while you are using the shaver to turn this trimmer on, it is easy to use and a convenient option.
One other small difference is the LED display only has 5 stages of power indicator where the LT41 has 10 stages. Again not a huge deal but with only a $1 difference it seems like a no brainer to go with the LT41, you can check out our review of that here.
It also comes with the standard lithium ion battery with a universal charging cord and a travel pouch.
This does have a 4.5 rating on Amazon but nowhere near the total amount of reviews as the LT41 however they are almost all positive, only 1 is a 1 star and only 1 is a 3 star. Every other review is a 4 or 5 with mostly 5 stars.
This is a quit shaver compared to Braun shavers that have the vibration technology and might even shave closer than some models. It has also noted that this shaver is easy to clean.
Is the Panasonic LT33S right for you? Maybe, maybe not? That always depends on what you are looking for but it does seem to have some very happy customers.
This is definitely a quality foil shaver that won’t be anything fancy but will get the job done. There is only one way to really see how it works. For more recommendations check out our top 10!
