Travel razor recommendations. Need something small.

Going on business trip next month. Three weeks in Asia. Don't want to pack my regular Braun. Too bulky.
Looking at travel shavers. Small ones. Battery powered maybe? Or rechargeable that's compact.
Anyone used the Panasonic travel shavers? The little palm-sized ones. Do they actually work or just garbage?
Budget isn't really an issue. Just need reliable. Small enough for carry-on. Don't want to check bags.
Main concern is performance. Will a travel shaver handle daily shaving for three weeks? Or should I just bring my regular one and deal with the size?
Thanks.

I have the Panasonic

ES-CM3BKS511 700 Series​

It is a full power Arc 3 and takes the standard Arc 3 replacement parts. It is an excellent razor and shaves as well as its full size stable mate.A 5 blade Arc 5 version is available (900 Series) ......but it is crazy money. More than double the cost of the 700 series. Both have recharging with a standard USB C cable.

Though I personally don't use a travel shaver on trips, the Braun M60/M90, and the many Panasonic offerings seem to do well in reviews. The Remington TF70 not so much, though I have many excellent Remington cord and rechargeable shavers I like. Some people have found they like travel shavers so much they use them exclusively, finding changing AA batteries is easier then charging and then having a shaver discharge, or dealing with cords with cord-only shavers. The price of the Braun M90 has gone up and down on Amazon for the past several weeks, but it is a newer version of the M60, has a side trimmer, and is a few ounces lighter to hold...all for a few dollars more.
