Braun 2865 Cruzer3 Shaver

I love this thing. It's just right for me.

This is definitely a compromise. It's not as good a shaver as, say, a Braun Syncro, and the trimmer is not as good as a dedicated Wahl trimmer. For example, you can't set the trimmer for longer hair. Short beards only, please.

Still, the trimmer has a small end that's good enough for ear and nose hair. You can use it in the shower and you can clean it with water. For me, though, the biggest advantage is that I can replace a bathroom drawer full of gizmos, their cases, chargers and accessories with this one unit.

Much nicer.

IS A GREAT ELECTRIC SHAVER VERY EASY TO USE AND LEAVE A CLEAN SHAVED SKIN I'LL RECOMEND IT

I've owned a few Braun shavers before, and have always thought them very good. The Cruzer is no exception - it's a good shaver. It's so-so as a trimmer. It's rated 100~240V, so it will be good in several countries. I'd give it a 5 as a shaver and a 3 as a trimmer, so it gets a 4 overall.

I got mine on clearance at Target for about twenty five bucks, but mainly use it as a trimmer. The foil shaver is good but still not as easy and close as using a plain old razor blade, and does irritate my skin unless I use some sort of aftershave toning cream afterwards. So instead I now use the trimmer to shave...this leaves me with a five o'clock shadow look but it's much faster and doesn't require the lather-up-and-rinse process of using a blade and shaving cream.

Really appreciate the ergonomics of this thing, it fits perfectly in my hand. The battery holds a decent charge, I recharge it maybe twice a month tops. It's not too loud either, which is a plus.

If I had to do it all over again I'd probably buy one of those Norelco Beard Trimmers and use it for shaving because they have a vaccuum which means that your hairs are tidily sucked up so there's no mess you have to clean up afterwards...but for the time being am pretty happy with this thing. I also like that it's water resistant, so I can use it in the shower if I want to.

My husband's last razor was a Braun also and it lasted for over 10 years, so we decided to go with another Braun. It works great!
