Panasonic ES8109S Vortex – A New Kind Of Electric Shaver
The Panasonic ES8109S Vortex shaver is proof that an electric shaver can stand up to the best straight-edge razor, but without the expected razor burn and irritation.
What Makes The ES8109S Stand Out Among Shavers?
The ES8109S shaver is designed with a 13,000 RPM linear motor, which is faster than most other electric razors. What does this mean for you? It means you’re less likely to experience those uncomfortable razor burns and irritated skin that you typically have with other electric (and non-electric) razors. This also helps you to experience less pulling if you have a thick beard.

The Panasonic ES8109S is a wet/dry electric shaver. It’s versatile enough to be used as a typical dry shaver (without any type of liquid), or can be used with shaving form. Just lather up your face with your favorite shaving form and put the ES8109S to work.
The shaver comes with a triple-head design to help give an extra close shave. The heads float independently and move both up and down as well as back and forth. If you don’t like the floating heads, there’s a switch to lock the heads in a stationary position.
Nanotech Blades
The blades are polished by what’s called “Nano particles”, which creates a sharper blade. Standard blades cut at 45 to 90 degree angles, but with micro polished (Nanotech) blades,
the blades can cut at 30 degrees. This allows the blades to mow through your tough stubbles without as many repeat passes over your face.
For cutting straight lines, there’s a pop-up trimmer making it handy for your sideburns or if you have a mustache.
The Panasonic Vortex ES8109S shaver comes with the HydraClean System. This makes it easy and convenient for you to automatically clean your shaver. Not only will it clean but also charge and dry your razor as well. The cleaning system uses a water and detergent cleaning process instead of using alcohol like some other electric shaving cleaning systems.
Advantages
- Can be used as a dry shaver or with shaving form
- Can use it to shave while showering
- Faster motor speed than more expensive shavers to reduce friction and irritation, which is especially a plus if you have sensitive skin
- You can place the shaver into the cleaning system and choose various modes to charge, clean, dry or a combination of any mode. This is useful if, say, you wanted to charge the shaver without cleaning
- The shaver heads have floating blades that give you the option of locking them in place
- Battery can last about 10 days on a single charge, and when charging there’s no need to have to be concerned about over-charging
Disadvantages
- The cleaning system uses a cartridge detergent that must be replaced periodically. Replacement frequency depends on how often you clean your shaver. You do, however, have the option of cleaning under running water; or for an alternative cleaning, placing a drop or two of dishwashing detergent under the head, running the shaver a few seconds and rinsing off.
- Carrying case is a cloth bag with draw strings
- Instruction manual could use some improvement
- If you have a thick beard, more difficult to shave if beard growth is one week or more
