Work of Art
on October 22, 2012
Posted by: us78749
from Austin TX
I have the Braun Series 7 790cc-4. This is my first electric shaver so comparisons can’t be made. Being technically oriented I’ll say the shaver is a technical work of art. The engineers did a great job.
My beard consists of hair slightly thicker than average and a little less dense than average. The hair grows out on steep angles in some areas.
Compared to a good shaving gel and an excellent razor blade I did not think an electric razor could compete. It can. My face feels softer after the gel and razor blade but this is due to long contact with soap and water. The actual length of hair afterwards is a bit questionable. I would guess the razor blade is a little closer but occasionally the razor blade takes some skin with it. The Braun works better on my neck area than a razor.
Naturally, I can only use a razor blade after a shower, using plenty of soap on my face, and then using the shaving gel prior to the razor blade. With the Braun I can shave any time but preferably not immediately after a shower when the hair is softer. Low, medium and high settings work OK but medium seems the best so far.
Someone mentioned hair pulling. I got none of that. The experience is totally beyond what I expected. Now I’m looking for the ideal lotion for my face after the electric shave. It is OK to use nothing but it is hard to break old habits.
I was surprised at how well it gets the upper lip area and just below the nose. Trimming up to the side burns was no problem. Then of course you have the pop-out hair trimmer for the sideburns or a mustache. Very clever.
My wife wants to use the razor also but is concerned about any man facial lotions I might get on it. Well, the cleaning station is amazing. It has various levels of automatic cleaning and drying of the razor. The 25 second quick clean is convenient but it has no heated dry cycle so blotting the shaver is necessary to dry it off. I would assume the dry cycle would heat it up too much for immediate use.
The tilt lock only activates when the head is tilted in one direction. This took me a while to figure out. Changing the cutting head is easy. The display readout is OK and conveniently located. The automated indicators are great. They take the guess work out of when it needs cleaning or charging. The docking/cleaning/charge station is well designed. Changing cleaning fluid is easy.
The time it took me to shave was as quick as using gel and a razor blade. The convenience is much better. Now I don’t splash water all over the bathroom when rinsing my face.
The overall design totally impressed me. I thought I would only use the Braun on a few occasions. Now I might use it all the time.
The Braun is a bit expensive but I think you get all you pay for. It is an amazing piece of equipment.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My husband loves this shaver
on April 9, 2013
Posted by: Lizzie
from Killen, AL
I got this shaver for my husband at Christmas and he absolutely loves it. He said it was one of the best shaves he has ever had. We thanked me over and over for getting him this and said I would not have done any better. I would recommend this shave to anyone, especially men who have hard, rough beards and can't seem to get a good, clean shave.

i have been a braun user for the past 30 years, this product that i recently purchased is a totally inferior product to the 4 or 5 previous machines that i used in the past. This machine does not have the cutting power to offer a close comfortable shave.. i am very disappointed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I received my 5 series razor for christmas of 2006 as a gift. There has been no problems with it, it keeps going and going. I replace the foil and cutter every 18 months like i'm supposed to. I would recommend this shaver to anyone. I used to have another top brand, forget it, the shave hurt and pulled my hair but this Braun is awesome!!!
I recently just bought a new foil and cutter and noticed the foil design was different than my previous ones. The old ones did a great job, but the new design works much better and smoother and cuts more hair with each pass. Way to go Braun for this amazing razor!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had my Braun shaver for 4 years now and its still shaving great. I have not bought any replacement parts yet but I'm sure it will make it even better. I will buy my son one so he can stop using mine. Great product.

great razor, base has some issues
on April 25, 2013
Posted by: will
from Long Beach, NY, USA
I've been using this razor for about 4 years and the quality of the shave is great but the base has issues with cleaning the device. Often times when I press the button to clean the razor it doesn't start the cleaning cycle. It started as a minor inconvenience but now I cant even clean my razor with the cleaning solution. I've tried all the troubleshooting methods but none work. Other than that it's a great razor, just wish the base worked properly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
