Braun Syncro 7680 Electric Shaver

Pros: Great Precision, Auto cleaning and nice design.
Cons: A little pricey, but worth it.

When it was time for me to replace my electric razor, I really needed something that could really deliver a closer shave than I had with my old razor. What happened was that the old razor's battery wasn't replaceable and that the performance began to...

Pros: self cleaning, self charging, close shave
Cons: high price, high maintenance cost, misses certain areas

After trying my friend's electric shaver and finally putting to rest the rumors of the electric shaver's inability to get a close shave, I had asked for one of my own for Christmas. I was delighted to have received this total package of an electric ...

Pros: Easy to use, Cleans itself, good battery life.
Cons: Little spendy but worth it. Cleaning solution is expensive.

Introduction Well I am in the culinary industry. I work at an Italian restaurant as a general manager. I work all stations including cook as a main job and as a server. As someone who works up front you can't afford to look 'scruffy' as my ...

Pros: unbelievable close shave w/ no skin irritation, cuts, etc. unit cleans itself
Cons: None to report at this time

I've used disposable razors my entire adult life (mid 30's)and never believed that an electric shaver could give you an as close shave as a blade. I read reviews everywhere, got feedback from electric shaver users, etc. for years. And, most of the ...

Pros: Excellently shaves your face, great battery, self-cleaning works well.
Cons: Replacing cleaning cartridges cost $ unless you do it yourself. Charger/stand takes up space.

I have a face that is of medium sensitivity. That means that I can tolerate a more aggressive shave than some, but not all. This razor has the capacity to shave very aggressively if you push hard against your face, or it will be much less (but still...

Pros: Close shave and self cleaning to extend life of foil and cutter.
Cons: A bit pricey for razor and replacement parts.

The Braun Syncro shavers are exceptional due to the 4-way moving head and "3-stage" foil and cutter system that allows for ultimate closeness in problem areas such as around the chin. There is also 3 settings to allow the head to contour around facial...

Pros: Self cleaning is great. Gives a good close shave. Decent battery life.
Cons: Heavy and not ergonomic therefore hard to hold. First foil and cutter didn't last long.

I received the 7680 as a Christmas gift in 2002. I think my wife paid about $140 for it. I get as close a shave as I've ever gotten with a Norelco or other electric. I love the self-cleaning feature. It's convenient and it works very well, leaving the ...

Pros: Somewhat close shave, quick & easy, less irritating, shave on the go, 3 week charge.
Cons: Replacement parts expensive, Mach III razor closer

When I was 19 I tried an electric shaver and it tore my face. I stayed away. This last Christmas I received the Braun Syncro 7680 electric shaver for Christmas. I tried it out right away. It took me 15 minutes to shave. I went over spot after spot. ...

Pros: Cool cleaning station, looks, super close shave
Cons: May not suit your beard, expensive - have to keep buying cleaning cartridges

This shaver is very impressive and certainly looks the part, but does it shave as close as a mach 3. I have a very thick and dense beard growth and have been using the shaver for about 3 weeks. What i will say is that there are certain areas, such as the...

Pros: Futuristic appearance, portable, self-cleaning, long battery life, close shave
Cons: Cleaning cycle very noisy, a bit heavy

I have been using non-electric razors (Mach3) for a long time so I was leary about switching to elec ...

Pros: Excellent shave, at first
Cons: Wears out quickly

I got the syncro as a gift, so I am not sure what my benefactor paid for it. The first few months, it worked great. Nice, close shave and because of the lubricating/cleaning solution, no skin irritation for me. And the shaver was _quiet_ which was a ...

Pros: Great design, close shave, clean & charge system
Cons: Refills can be expensive over time

On August 1st, 2003 I bought the Braun 7680 with the automatic self-cleaning Clean & Charge system. I have been using the razor for 6 months now and think this Braun model is the best razor ever produced and I highly recommend it. It provides a really ...

Pros: Very close and quick shave with good comfort
Cons: Poor design of cleaning unit and poor quality control on same and the power cords

After 30 years of shaving with Philips/Norelco electric shavers, I purchased a Braun Syncro 7526 as the self cleaning aspect appealed to me and the Philips quality seemed to be declining. After a month or so adjustment to the foil system, I was getting ...

Pros: Extremely close shave, feels good in your hand, LCD display.
Cons: None

I've always been a Braun man. My last 3 shavers were Braun and when it came time to replace my latest shaver (I replace my shaver every 3 years, which is usually when they don't hold a charge well anymore) I decided to try a Norelco 8894XL. The bad ...

Pros: Good fit in the hand. Self cleaning
Cons: Heads seems to develop tears on their own Hard to shave under the jaw

Update after having the shaver for 6 months and replacing the screen twice I gave up and purchased a Norelco. It seems to shave better and I am happy with my choice not with wasting the $$ on the Braun I purchased the Braun shaver to replace a ...
