Excellent shaver. This is my third Braun self-cleaning shaver, the first two having lasted over 22 years together. This version is the best of the three. Read more

This is a very nice product. My husband is now on blood thinners and can't risk getting cut. This gives a close shave without worrying about getting cut. Read more

I had changed from a $40 no-name rotary, which did an okay job, yet not a real close shave, and was disappointed when the Braun really wasn't clearly better for three times the price. It could give a close shave eventually, but was slower, seemed to miss in patches I had to go back to, and the biggest gripe was if you skipped a day it really struggled with even one day's extra growth. I have a thin, patchy growth, so the cutting heads don't get a tough workout. On make-up day it would get most of it fairly quickly, but there'd be strands all over that I had to go back and try to get. Anyhow, my original head was about eighteen months old, figuring it needed replacement because I was getting more burn. One day I dropped the head in the sink and the two of the three cutting sections popped out. I gave up trying to put it back together and gambled on the price of another head rather than try a whole new shaver. Voila! The thing works better than it ever did! Close, easy shaves, no problems skipping a day. When I examined the old head after falling apart it appeared the middle section, which I suspect helps a lot with longer growth because of the size of the openings, was somehow not working, the mechanism looked busted or perhaps not connected up with the connector bar that drove it from one of the side cutters. Anyway, I'm glad I bought the replacement - saved the whole shaver for me, and am finally happy with it. I don't give it five stars because of eighteen months of disappointment due to the apparent defective head. Read more

There are lots of Brauns, this seemed to be a good balance of quality and price. I used a 3 series and was not impressed. This is lightweight and the battery last a very long time. Used it on a 2 week vacation and did not bring the charger. The charging holder takes up a little space but works well. Gives a good shave but not nearly as close as a razor. Read more

Love this razor. I get a close shave. I have had more expensive Braun razors and this one shaves as well or better than the others. Recommend. Read more
