The new 5-Blade AC/Rechargeable Shaver ES-LV9C featuring ultra-fast linear motor drive and new Multi-Flex 5D Head for best shaving technology and performance

The linear motor drives the blades at a rate as high as 14,000 cpm for exceptionally fast shaving with continuous high power until you finish shaving. You can enjoy a smooth, close shave with no loss of power even when cutting in places where your beard is dense. And cutting speed stays the same until just before the battery runs out to always assure a comfortable shave.

The 5-blade system in LV9C provides clean cutting on any type of beard - tough, flat-lying and so on.
Even under the chin, round-shaped outer foils of Multi-fit arc blades fit uniformly against the skin for a close shave over the entire surface. Tough, forged stainless steel blades are extremely resistant to abrasion and wear.
New comb blade 
Provides improved pre-cutting of long whiskers.
Quick lift foil
The reverse-taped edge captures and cuts even whiskers lying flat under the chin.
Finishing foil
As thin as 41 nm in places, the outer foils capture and cut even stubborn whiskers for a close shave.
Smooth slider
The Smooth Slider's roller helps the shaver head rotate and slide sideways to glide over skin and reduce friction.

The new Multi-flex 5D Head simultaneously moves in five directions to reduce the burden on the skin from various directions when shaving an uneven surface. A newly developed suspension mechanism for 5D movement features sliding and twisting movement in addition to the conventional up & down, right & left, forward & backward movement. Flexible head movement enables precise following of facial contours and closer contact for a smoother shave.

Panasonic’s Shaving Sensor automatically detects beard density and adjusts cutting power accordingly. Using the optimum power reduces the burden on the skin for a gentle shave.
Heavy beard
Powerful cutting with large inner blade amplitude. To prevent loss of power when shaving areas where your beard is dense or where your whiskers are hard, motor rotation speed is increased to provide powerful cutting.

Thin beard
When shaving areas where your beard is thin or where your whiskers are fine, power is reduced to provide gentle cutting that does not harm your skin.
