This appears on the LCD panel once a year. (This will differdepending on usage.) We recommend checking the system outerfoil and the inner blades when it appears.*Press the OFF/ON switch for more than 30 seconds to deleteFor detail, go to:http://www.manualslib.com/manual/118260/Panasonic-Esla63.html?page=7#manual

I've had mine 3 years now with no troubles whatsoever. Only small amount of wear on the inside of the foil. I bought this shaver because my last Panasonic wet/dry lasted 10 years!

I have a 1000 series that is still going to this day, its between 5 and 10 years old and the foil is still intact, it has outlasted the internal battery which does still work but not for very long. Will not buy anything but Braun again because other shavers I had the foil always went bad in about a years time of use.

Yeah, when I did there seemed to be little to no damage to the razor. Though the razor is not in my possession anymore due to it being a little skewed in the razor alignment. Though that was just me, you should have a good time with this razor if you are to get it.

Yes, this is the correct foil. Note that these aftermarket foils don't always snap in tightly to top part of the shaver, but once the top part is connected to the base they're fine. I've had some that fall out when you open them up. Even with this occasional inconvenience, this is a good value. Note that not all of them may have this characteristic.

Recommended is 1 yr for the foil and 2 yrs for the blade I believe. I needed to replace the foil early due to a small hole and replaced my blades at the same time. Blades are cheaper than the foil. My replacement blade was better then the blades that came with the razor.

I don't know for sure, but it seems to be specific to my razor (not a 1060x)

I believe it means that it comes with only 1 blade. There are other packs that have additional blades. By the way...these razor's are excellent. I've been using one for the past 2-3 years and love it.

I never noticed a choice when I ordered, but going back to look at the razor on Amazon's website I notice that Long with Guard is the default choice. If you move your cursor to the other choices a picture of each selection will appear. They should have taken their pictures using identical angles though as granted, it is difficult to notice the difference. I am happy with the Long with Guard (default) and it is easy to take apart to clean.

I believe it fits all Series 5. As far as as I know you cannot just get the foil. The reason for that is that the blade and the foil work together. If your foil is bad it is because the blade has cut through it and it is now irritating your face. The blade at this point is no good as well. If you clean your shaver by removing the foil always assemble it back the same way you took it apart. This will let the blade always mesh with the foil in the same way making the blade and the foil last longer.

Braun recommend changing your foil & cutter every 12/18 months. But this can also depend on usage. When shaving becomes sore on your face.Thanks

I haven't had any issue with this. However, being a relatively inexpensive mobile shaver. I do not use this shaver with a thick week growth beard. I used it if I have a little stubble and want to touch it up and smooth my face. I believe the foil on this is very thin being a travel type shaver and it is possible that like others have suggested perhaps your beard is too long or maybe you have a defective unit. It seems to work fairly well for my touch up needs.

i don't know , but this is the best shaver on the market . my guess is the newer is even better if that is possible

I'm even more late, but thought I'd add my 2 cents. I have used two norelco rotary shavers, two Braun foil shavers and a Panasonic foil. Hands down the best shave is from the Panasonic. One of the Norelco's is my first electric razor purchased back in 1994 and still running like new - now that is quality construction. However the shave closeness is not as good compared to more recent shavers and takes forever. The other norelco is a much newer one, one of their recent nivea lotion models. I can get a good shave out of it, but it lacks in comparison to the Panasonic, not as close and takes much longer. The Braun's both performed excellently, but always left me with irritation, and sometimes good burns too. Both were self-cleaning synchro shavers. If you want strictly dry shaving, Braun is a good choice. Panasonic, a fully immersible wet/dry electric, I may have never used this razor dry, I can't remember so I won't comment on that. i prefer wet shaving with a quality soap or cream and brush, in the shower. It always gives me an almost blade close shave, without any irritation or most importantly bleeding. It never looses power when confronted with dense growth unlike the norelco's. If I have 2 days growth the norelco motor is audibly and sensibly effected. The Panasonic is unaffected It's motor plows through anything. I have loved my Panasonic ES8228S so much, but have decided to upgrade to the ES-LA93K. Will the Panasonic be up on ebay, like the fate of my other dis-guarded razors? HELL NO! I will keep it for a rainy day, change of pace, in case the 93k explodes or some other act of God takes it from me. I will continue to love my ES8228S for it's lifetime. Seriously guys, it's that good.

The kit comes with a standard foil type shaver attachment, although I felt that it was the weakest part of the kit. I could tell very little difference in my face after shaving with this attachment.

I don't know. I haven't had to sharpen or replace blade yet. It looks like it's just 2 standard razor blades. I was assuming you just replace when it gets dull.

Yes, the unit contains both the cutters and the foil. You just need to snap it on in place of the old one. It makes the shaver shave like it is new again.
