The Panasonic ER-GD61-K503 electric razor goes below €40 at Amazon, a drop of around 23% on the price usually seen. It is currently one of our best value for money.
Rather reserved for beards (and ears), Panasonic’s ER-GD61 expands the Japanese manufacturer’s “i-shaper” range, which wants to capitalize on its unique concept of electric “straight razor”. This newcomer comes out of our test with honors.

After its ER-GD60 launched two years ago, Panasonic is establishing its concept of a “straight razor” type electric razor with the ER-GD61. The device is more successful, with a non-slip handle, the possibility of washing it, a lower noise level and greater autonomy. Disconcerting at first sight by its ergonomics, it finally ensures very high quality and really precise shaves.
Strong points
- Shave quality.
- Ideal for “sculpting” your beard.
- Autonomy.
- Washable.
Weak points
- No charging station.
- Wheel of the comb which clogs quickly.

Philips is trying with talent to expand its range of razors / trimmers for men by offering a device directly related to male beauty. Bingo: the Series 1000 is a real success which one can be surprised at the rikiki price. Ready to complete equipment and meet the expectations of men concerned about the good maintenance of their beard, this small razor/trimmer does not suffer from any real defect apart from its battery operation.
