NEWARK, N.J., May 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic today announced that the Panasonic ES-LV95/ES-LV65 Arc5™ Men's Electric Shaver has been selected as a winner in the 2014 Men's Health Grooming Awards, in the shaving category, marking the third consecutive year that Panasonic Grooming Tools have received a Grooming Award. The Grooming Awards will appear in the June 2014 issue of the magazine. The Panasonic Arc5 Men's Electric Shavers are now available for purchase on shop.panasonic.com.

The Men's Health annual Grooming Awards, now in its tenth year, assembles a team of experts, consumers and editors to rate new men's grooming products and tools. This year, more than 600 products were tested for the awards in product categories including Hair, Face, Body, Shaving, Teeth, Fragrance and Tools. The Panasonic Arc5 Men's Electric Shaver joins the company's other award-winning grooming tools, ES-SL41 Arc3 Men's Shaver and the ER-GB40 Wet/Dry Beard/Hair Trimmer, which took home Grooming Awards in 2012 and 2013, respectively.

"The Men's Health Grooming Award is a respected accolade in the men's care industry and we are thrilled to receive the award for the third consecutive year," said Andrew Mark, Product Manager, Personal Care, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. "Our Arc5 Men's Shaver is a perfect marriage of technology and luxury, designed to revolutionize the shaving experience."

At the core of its design, the Panasonic Arc5™ Men's Electric Shaver offers unique time-saving shaving sensor technology which allows the automatic stubble sensor to detect beard density and adjust motor speed for a gentle yet effective shave. Designed to provide the ultimate shave experience, it is equipped with Multi-Fit Arc Foils, allowing the shaver to glide uniformly around the chin and jaw and move in a circular motion, and 30-degree Nanotech™ Blades which offer an extremely close, smooth shave without irritating skin. A newly redesigned slit blade easily captures stubborn hair in harder-to-reach areas and a pop-up trimmer makes touching up sideburns, beard and moustache simple. A 14,000 CPM (cycles per minute) fast, linear motor drive provides a faster, more comfortable shave and a Multi-Flex™ Pivoting Head seamlessly conforms to the neck and jaw areas to enhance the shave experience. The ES-LV95-S is also equipped with an improved Automatic Cleaning and Charging System and an eco-friendly detergent pack; an illuminated LED display indicates battery charge status plus provides users with a cleaning reminder. The Panasonic ES-LV65-S Arc5 Men's Electric Shaver provides all the award-winning technology as the ES-LV95-S model, without the Automatic Cleaning and Charging System.

The Panasonic Arc5 Men's Electric Shavers are now available on shop.panasonic.com for the following MSRPs: $499.99 (ES-LV95) and $399.99 (ES-LV65).
