Amazon drops price of Panasonic’s Beard and Body Trimmer by a whopping 40%

Those who keep a carefully maintained beard know that the arrival of summer often requires a little thinning to accommodate to the weather. With that likely in mind, Amazon has rolled out a great deal on Panasonic’s Beard and Body Trimmer, taking it down 40 percent from its usual retail price of $100 to its new price of $60.

Panasonic’s Beard and Body Trimmer boasts stainless steel blades — perfect for those with allergies — set at a 45-degree angle to ensure the best cut. An ergonomic, cordless design helps ensure easy handling even in moist conditions, and the entire device cleans up easily under a standard faucet.

Versatility is the hallmark of the Panasonic ER-GB80-S, as it offers up 39 separate trimmer settings to allow the trim to come out exactly to your own specifications. Whether you just want a slight touch-up to keep things level or to take your ZZ Top to a more modest Santa Claus — or even Van Dyke — Panasonic’s trimmer has you covered. A slide-up precision trimmer allows the careful edging of sideburns and mustache, and three separate comb attachments allow for the exacting work of trimming beard and body hair alike.

Panasonic has an excellent history of providing the best in shaving. Two of its other models made our list of “The Best Electric Shavers of 2018;”  specifically, the Panasonic ES-LV81K Arc 5 and the Panasonic ES-RT51-S 3-Blade Wet/Dry. Customer reviews on the ER-GB80-S, meanwhile, are overwhelmingly positive, trending at 65% five-star, and 86% three-star or better. In individual reviews, users have praised the quality of the cut and the overall low noise generated by the device.

So for those who are ready to take a little weight out of their beards ahead of the hot summer months, Panasonic’s ER-GB80-S should be able to do the job nicely. Amazon will make it that much easier to pick up with a 40% savings down to the new, and much more trim, price of $60. And it’s available for free two-day shipping for Prime Members.

Even for those without beards, our deals page and memorial days sales page will help keep your pockets full and ready for summer fun elsewhere.

Update 10/28/24: This marks the beginning of our drill coverage for 2024's Black Friday shopping season, and all of the major brands have at least one great deal. While we're excited for what is to come, this is a fantastic start and there's really no reason to not go ahead and get prepped by buying something now.
If you're buying anything this Black Friday, there's a big chance you might want a drill/driver to go with it. A drill/driver is one part drill, one part (screw)driver and it can help out in many situations. For example, say you take part in one of these early Black Friday TV deals, you very well might want to wall mount it. Then, say you grab up an easy coffee maker from Keurig's early Black Friday deals. An extra side table in your study would sure go nice with that and a drill/driver could very well make the table's construction much easier.
Really, with so so many of your early Black Friday purchases, there might be a chance to pick up a cordless drill or driver and get to work. As such, we've compiled a list of the best cordless drill deals throughout Black Friday deals that are available now, so you can get a head start on prepping for the savings that are to come.
