Was looking for a shaver, and determined this is what I wanted for the closest shave. See it on Amazon for about $204 Delivered from US but found this one on ebay today with australian warranty from a brick and mortar shop. So extra $13 for local stock and quicker delivery is pretty good.
This is the lowest I found in the past few days but it's not the lowest ever on ozbargain but I find it's not much far off.
Thought I share
never thought ppl getting used shaver
With a new foil / blade it's effectively a new shaver. I wouldn't go that route either, but honestly it's not a big deal, similarly to the bacteria we're exposed to in public places / workplaces. Besides, any blood transmitted diseases die pretty quickly in open air especially if you thoroughly disinfect.
On a tangent, what people should be more concerned about is eating food that's been in the open / refrigerated for hours. Particularly foods like rice where it's prepared in bulk and eaten over prolonged periods of time.

A lot of the recurring gastrointestinal issues that people just get used to are partially a result of bad food storage practices and can rarely be fatal if you're unlucky. People are overly concerned about 'freshness' and avoid using the freezer when they really ought to.
How do you tell if you have the titanium blades or not?
The newer design has two gold coloured comfort rollers between the two sets of outer foils.
True getting it 2nd hand could save but then getting new foils and blades I check it's around $100 yikes! How much was it from Japan? Can you get generic foils and blade for this model like OEM stuff?
$100 for replacement is yikes
Was a official Panasonic replacement Foils / Blade Set.
If i were to purchase the model in Japan would have costed almost $350.
Australia doesn't sell any model that is better than the one listed here. But Japan stocks better models, and their blade sets fit this handle.
The guy i got it off was a pretty good deal. Since he also gave me completely new in sealed package blade sets for the ARC 5, so basically just needed a good clean.

We do get the LV6A/9A models here under the LV6N/9N names, which are the next models from the one posted here. You're right that we don't get any of the next 3 here though. Really wanted the LV9CX, but ended up settling for a Braun Series 9.
Great Shaver. I got a 2nd hand one off eBay which the seller threw in a extra set of foils and blades. Got it for $50.
When i visited japan, got a replacement foils and blade which basically upgraded it to the latest Japan model with the titanium rollers, making it a even nicer cut. Was around $60 for the upgrade.
