BLADE TECHNOLOGY

Blades are the fundamental technology in any shaver, and Panasonic’s blades are the direct descendent of the traditional art of the Japanese bladesmith. Made of the finest steel, they are forged and ground to become exceptionally hard, strong, and sharp. Highest-level technology and skill come together in blades of incomparable quality.

Foils

A pattern with a multitude of distinct elements is inscribed on the gently curving surface, which gently captures beards of any texture and toughness.

Inner blades

Sharpened to a 30° acute angle, these blades have exceptionally low cutting resistance. The result is a clean, neat cut.

Demanding the finest materials: Yasukihagane stainless steel

From the finest materials, the finest blades. Panasonic uses highest-quality Yasukihagane stainless steel, famous worldwide as traditional Japanese blade steel.

Making the impossible possible: traditional forging methods

Panasonic leverage high-level processing technology and the skill of seasoned artisans. Based on traditional Japanese forging and grinding technologies, Panasonic’s proprietary technologies make possible an extremely acute blade angle and unprecedented sharpness.

Realizing the perfect pattern: ultra-high-precision dies

The complex outer blades of Panasonic shavers can only be produced with ultra-high-precision dies. Panasonic’s experienced artisans work by hand, cutting the metal with incredible precision, tolerating variance of no more than a micrometer.

A Legacy of Quality, A Tradition of Innovation

Advancing the Japanese art of making exceptionally sharp and robust swords, Panasonic has applied state-of-the-art technology to develop blades of outstandingly high quality.
