Braun Flex Integral 6520 Electric Shaver

Pros: Comes with a charger for the battery
Cons: See list.

For years I have wanted to get my husband an electric razor. He has a heavy beard and sensitive skin so he has always used a regular razor. He complained that the electric razors did not work for him. Well being the know-it-all that I am, I decided...

Pros: Easy to use and clean. Good feedback when shaving.
Cons: Storage pouch is useless.

Background
I have been using electric razors for about 5 years now. I have a semi-tough beard. My last razor was a Remington DA-407. It did the job for a cheapy. I figured it was time to upgrade to a better razor instead of spending $25...

Pros: Close shave, comfortable to hold and use, quick recharge.
Cons: None sofar...it stands far above the dreaded twin blade.

Back in ages long forgotten, when humans dwelt in caves or under bundles of twigs, the daily ritual of shaving was perhaps an awkward, bloody task. I think of that every time I’m forced to use a blade razor, and now celebrate the day I bought my new...

Pros: Strong motor and powerful battery
Cons: Not a close shave

I bought a Braun 6520 electric razor to replace my Remington R845, which was on its last legs. For most of my adult life I have used a wet razor, but was given my Remington five years ago as a present. Despite my prejudice against electric razors I found...

Pros: Close and quick shave, One hour recharging, Cord shaver option, Long hair trimmer
Cons: The plastic foil cover is easily dislodged, exposing the foil to potential damage

I am an electric razor convert. Ever since my Grandpa Sid bought me my first, a Panasonic Smooth Operator Wet/Dry (precursor to the Linear line), about eight years ago, I have required little more than a bottle of Lectric Shave and my shaver to get a...

Pros: Fairly close shave when battery is fully charged.
Cons: See details.

I replaced a Norelco with the lift and cut system. My problem with the Norelco was that it often lifted the hair right off of my face. Oww!

For comparison, I have a fairly heavy beard and angular face.

My first problem with the...

Pros: Close shave if you prep.
Cons: The pouch is useless, and the plastic cap..well...don't lose it.

I used to shave with a Sensor Excel. Needless to say, my skin would dry out and be red and sore afterwards. Enter: Christmas last year. I got one of these from my Parents. Now I shave happily. If you're going to shave with one of these, there are a few ...

Pros: Good, close, comfortable, quick shave. High speed, but quiet.
Cons: Reliability was awful. First 6520 died within five months. The replacement only lasted two months.

I'm a long-time electric user and have owned a half-dozen previous Braun razors over the past two decades. When my corded model started to get really old and slightly louder, I did some research and selected the 65xx line as a birthday recommendation....

Pros: Quick Charger, Long Hair Shaver works very well, Nice leather Case, Great Design
Cons: I sometimes have to go shave areas several times to get everything.

I recently got the Braun 6520 as a birthday gift from my girlfriend. This electric razor worked much better than my previous Braun razor. The charger for this razor is great it takes only an hour for a great charge. My previous razor took about 16...

Pros: Charges are fast, and last a long time. Shaves close and comfortably.
Cons: Could benefit from a cradle charger.

After years of swearing by the blade, I decided to try the electric shaver routine once again for the sake of one extra snooze round in my morning routine. The Braun 6520 actually allowed me to do this without sacrificing a close shave, and it is loaded...

Pros: close shave, smooth
Cons: have to clean once in a while

This shaver shaves much closer and smoother than my old one. I said, "wow!" after my first shave, because I had been missing such a good shave for all this time. It shaves just as close as my Gilette blade, without all the hassle. Another plus is that...

Pros: Close shave, solid feel, good trimmer
Cons: None so far

I guess my first review was somewhat confusing, so here is my second attempt.

As the review title would suggest, I definately prefer the older style Brauns to the new Synchro line, mostly becuase the Syncho style tends to be rougher on my...

Pros: Quick Charge Time, Close Shave, Long Hair Trimmer
Cons: none

The Braun 6520 is the best electric razor I have ever used. I had a Norelco and it simply wasn't getting the job done, however I have sensitive skin and have problems with irritation from blades. I bought in Braun after it was recommended to me by a...

Pros: Great Shaver at a good price (relatively)
Cons: Price may still be too steep for some

Like the title says, this is a great shaver at a fairly good price. Don't worry, although it retails for about $169, I think you can get it for about $120 or so at most stores like Target. I bought this shaver and I love the closeness of the shave and...

Pros: Close, quick and smooth shaver, with a quick and long lasting re-charge.
Cons: Actually none, except I have to clean it=)!!!

I've read nearly all of the reviews and can relate to those that showed the better reviews, but not those with lower ratings. I, too, am a convert, and didn't think I'd ever like an electric. I was a little reluctant to try it, but it was a gift from my daughter - so I gave it a try. Now I don't shave any other way. This Braun 6520 is incredible in every way. Close, quick and smooth shaver, with a quick and long lasting re-charge (over a week before re-charging). The quickness in it saves me about 10 minutes a day, 'cause I shave on the way to work=). To those that didn't like it, I am amazed and astonished! If there's something better out there, maybe I'd be amazed. But the way it is, I am completely satisfied and then some!! To top it off, I've had the same cutter in for probably two years now, and it's still going strong. I did replace the foil once due to dropping the shaver and denting it (the foil)...
