Pros: The cleaning process, foil design, charge process, the shave. Cons: Buying cleaning solution cartridges.
The Issue I hate shaving. It's not just the act of shaving; it's the whole shaving process. With a blade it's the water and shaving cream all over the place, and the occasional cuts that never stop bleeding - no matter how late you are for ...
My last electric razor purchase had been about 6 years ago when I had bought a top of the line Norelco with the lift and cut system. I had such a terrible experience with that electric razor I swore I would never leave the Gillette Mach 3 again! ...
Pros: Clean shaving head every time Cons: Hard to get a close shave.
I waited a couple of years to get this shaver. I've been shaving for 30 years. To me, it looked like the perfect blend of form and function, at least as far as shaving is concerned. The price was a little high (hence the delay in buying it), but I ...
The battery in my old Norelco went bad, so I picked up the Braun 8595 on impulse while shopping at BJ's. I've had it for 3 weeks now and am ready to report. I really had no idea what to expect from this shaver other than a great shave. The box ...
Pros: Excellent entertainment item Cons: Many of the features are unnecessary for the shaving; needs refills.
I already have Braun 6520 shaver, which I'm happy with, and which has very good feedback here on Epinions if you check it out; now I've got the latest model, 8595 Activator as a present. So naturally, I compared them. While 6520 did not much more that ...
Pros: Ultra-close shave; _very_ light five o'clock shadow later in the day, self-cleaning Cons: Moderate to high initial cost, on-going maintenance costs (cleaning cartridges/replacement foils/cutter block)
I received my Braun Activator as a gift for Valentine's Day. Having been a user of another, albeit lower-priced ($24) Braun shaver, I was curious to see how much closer a shave I could get from a shaver that cost 7 times as much. My first ...
Pros: Excellent, close shave and a cleaning system that really does make a difference Cons: High initial cost with occasional ongoing expenses to maintain it
[12/9/05 - AN UPDATE TO MY ORIGINAL REVIEW WILL BE FOUND AT THE END] I've been a confirmed user of Braun foil shavers for more than 15 years. After my 6-year old Flex Integral gave up the ghost (the pins that held the foil popped loose so the foil ...
Introduction I had grown tired of blade shaving years ago. The razors cut up my neck, shaving was messy and took up a lot of my time. I had fiddled with the Norelco rotary units a couple times with decent results, but I felt I was putting in ...
Pros: Every shave is like the first time. Cons: Difficult to repair.
I have been using my Braun 8595 for about 8 months now and am rather pleased with it so far. That's meaningful because I'm usually a pretty tough critic. The automatic cleaning system seems to work really nicely. It must be what's responsible for ...
Pros: Comfortable, very little irritation, hygienic Cons: Not a close shave, trimmer location, noisy base
I was looking for a new electric Razor when my Panasonic died and I firmly believe in the old saying "you get what you pay for". I naturally assumed that because this one had the biggest price tag on it at Target, it had to be the best! The other ...
Pros: Quality product, cleaning base and charging station. Cons: Price. Size of charging base.
I have traditionally used rotary razors in the past and decided to give the Braun Activator a try. I purchased my razor at Costco for $139.00. The price was a bargain considering the razor came with an extra foil and razor block. I like the fact that ...
Pros: Only the best shaver and the best shave EVER! Cons: $100 might seem like a lot, but it's a great value
I've owned three electric shavers before this one, all of them rotary Norelcos. This shaver is so far above and beyond all of the others I've tried that I am completely amazed. I can get a better shave with this than with a blade, which I imagine ...
Pros: Close shave (for an electric shaver)
Convenience Cons: Can't clean using water.
Heavy. A consideration if will be traveling a lot.
In Nov '05 my doctor recommended I switch from using a razor blade shave (the Mach 3 in my case) to an electric. I was having my third bad in-grown hair infection in 18 months and it seemed to be the result of overly close shaving with a traditional ...
Over the years, I've tried several brands of electric razors, only to return to a regular blade. The reasons? Never could get a "close" shave, difficult to clean the razors, batteries that eventually would not recharge. I have seen the ads for the ...
Pros: As close as blade, sturdy, nice features Cons: Maybe a bit pricey, but you get what you pay.
I finally gave in and purchased a new shaver. I had looked primarily at the Norelco's and Braun's. I finally decided on the Braun Activator. Of course, I had read many reviews (thanks to all of you consumers who shared their experiences and comments), ...
Now, the only self-cleaning razor in the world has irregular foil technology for the world's closest shave every time. Unique clean and charge system ...More at eBay
