Pros: Cleaning base, good shave quality, effective on longer beard, price (special) Cons: May cut small skin protrusions, restricted head articulation, not as close as wet shave, buzzy
Manufacturers of all kinds of shavers face a difficult problem to solve every year: How to improve on such a mature product line and still get customers to toss their old and buy the new. I have been following the Philips/Norelco product line for many ...
Pros: A decent shaver. Nice close shave, with a little stubble. easy to use. Cons: Maybe a little noisy, nothing serious. It is , after all an electric razor.
This is the first electric shaver that I've had in about 20 years. I had one way back when, but it was a cheaper Remington at the time. Definitely not a fair comparison. The old model died of natural causes (age) and I decided to go back to the triple ...
Pros: quieter than my old Braun Cons: takes several passes to shave as close as I like.
I wish I had the nerve and energy to take advantage of the thirty day return policy on electric shavers. The only way to find the best shaver for yourself, I believe, is to buy each one that looks promising, try it out for 25 days and then return it. ...
Pros: Closest shave of any razor I have used, cleans itself Cons: Flat shape, bulky base doesn't travel, cleaning is loud, bright blue LEDs distracting in dark
Competition I'm not going to delve into the other competition on the market, since I haven't used those razors personally. Instead, I must mention that I've used other shaving solutions over the years, and compared the Braun ...
Pros: Convenience, comfort, and effective. Cons: Cleaner a bit noisy.
Let me step into a time warp here. It has been a long time (let's not beat around the bush - probably 26 years) since I tried an electric razor. And there is a very good reason why. I think my parents had bought me an electric razor for my birthday, ...
Pros: Well built, quiet, 4 out of 5 star shave with patience,looks impressive Cons: Manual cleaning difficult. Stubble flies everywhere.
Uses $5 cleaning solution like a Hummer uses gas.
I purchased this razor about a year ago. My first impressions were that it was a very sturdy, well built, well engineered piece of equipment. German engineering? If so, it shows. I had been using Norelco triple-head razors for many years and been ...
Pros: Close shave without 500 passes, no pulling, catches ingrowns on collar line. Cons: Foil seems to be delicate, but has held up fine.
I replaced a Braun FreeGlider model 5617 with the newer improved 8975 - 360 complete. What you get: The new razor, a nice hardsided carry case, brush for cleaning, cord for power, and the razor/shaver. What you don't get: this is the same shaver ...
Pros: Skin loves the shave, reasonably quick shave, unit is constantly clean and charged. Reliable. Cons: Takes several passes to get a complete shave.
I did a lot of shopping around before I bought the Braun and checked the epinions reviews. The other reviews are spot-on. It's not quite as close as a blade and requires several passes to get really smooth. Using ElectricShave pre-treatement helps some, ...
Pros: close shave, quick, cleans self, and no irritation Cons: price (if not on sale), and considerably louder than Norelco's
This is by far the best electric I have owned. Granted the only others I have had were two Norelco, one of which used lotion during shaving. I bought this shaver about a month and a half ago. I got it on-line from Kohl's for $75. I had had my Norelco ...
Pros: Cleaning system is better than previous design. There is nothing else positive to note. Cons: Bad foil and cutter design. Takes forever to complete shave and foil fails frequently.
I have used Braun shavers loyally for as many years as I can remember. I bought the 8985 three months ago to replace a Braun 7526 which was worn out after years of use. The 8985 is the worst shaver I have ever owned. Like many of the previous reviews ...
Pros: Close shave, pivoting head and trimmer Cons: Use common sense to save money on cleaner and cutters
I've had a Braun 360 Complete Electric Shaver for almost two years now and I really like it's ability to shave! I have a short beard, but I use a shaver to keep my neck and cheeks free of facial hair as well as keeping the beard trimmed with the pop-up ...
Pros: Clean and charge shaves almost as close as a blade Shaves 4-5 days stubble Cons: Takes too long to get a thorough close shave 15 minutes on a thick beard
This was my first electric shaver - I normally shave with a shick extreme 3 bladed razor. Once my face got used to the razor (took a couple of weeks), it shaved almost as close as a bladed razor. The charging and storage unit were handy and no fuss. I ...
Pros: As good a shave as I've ever got from an electric shaver Cons: Cleaning base isn't worth it
Not as good as a blade shave
I purchased this shaver last year with the cleaning base and am reasonably satisfied. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for this type of foil shaver, but would recommend skipping the special cleaning base and buying the unit just with a ...
Pros: Close, comfortable shave every time. The cleaning process leaves the shaver like new every time. Cons: You need counter space (about 5" square minimum near an outlet) for the cleaning devise.
This is the best electric shaver I have ever had! I have a very wirey beard with hair that grows in many directions and very sensitive skin. I had given up on electric shavers and for years used a blade. Five years ago I had to give up using a blade ...
Pros: Use it before you wash or after, self cleaning, very close shave Cons: can't think of anything I don't like.
I have been using electric shavers for 37 years so I don't shave with a blade very often. My last Remington AC corded shaver gave up after 15 years. You can't find anything that isn't rechargeable (not an important feature for me) so I decided to get ...
