I decided to put the Braun Series 7 and the Panasonic ARC5 shavers to the test. I shaved half of my face with the ARC5 and the other half with the Series 7. Then I waited until the next morning to see which had the closest shave.
Quick Results Summary
The Panasonic ARC5 gets a slightly closer shave and feels a bit more comfortable while shaving. However, the price of the ARC5 is usually higher than the Series 7.
