Panasonic WES035P Replacement HydraClean Cartridges Review

Dear Revain customer, These cartridges effectively clean the Panasonic shavers for which they were designed. What makes it a 4 star product is its comparative advantage over significantly more expensive cartridges designed by other manufacturers for other shaving systems. While Braun "Clean and Renew" cartridges are $5-6 per cartridge, Panasonic cartridges are just over $3 (and can drop below that when you subscribe and save). Also, unlike Braun cartridges, Panasonic cartridges do not have an…

That's nonsense! The price went from $4 a piece to $8 a piece. And they don't last 1 to 6 months like others suggest. I have about a week of use before they start to stink, especially the water reservoir. Why don't others have this problem? I've only seen 1 other review saying the same thing.

I've tried using alcohol, distilled water etc, I've had good luck adding medicinal alcohol to the filter and water tank after each use, but this only…

However, my shaving heads are spotlessly clean and shiny without any shaving cream…

I wash mine with liquid soap most of the time and then rinse with it every few weeks to keep my cartridges lasting for me. within a few months. I do what the manufacturer recommends for self-cleaning, where you run a line of liquid soap across the top of the razor and slowly drip drops of water around it (I just wet my hands and…

These compact cartridges combine filters and detergent and plug into the Panasonic shaver's 'base station' to automatically clean the shaver. The manufacturer recommends changing the cartridge monthly. I initially followed this recommendation and found that by the end of the month the filter was heavily discolored by stuck beard residue. However, since the razor is designed for wet/dry shaving, I have found that washing the razor head and cutting blades after each use and before inserting the…
