Braun Free Control 1775 Men's Shaver

The shaver is not only loud, but it's very bad in shaving too. One does not feel 100% safe in using it. Sometimes when it pulls hair off your skin forcefully, one feels doesn't get a safe feeling about it.

It's not easy to use. I followed the directions as written in the user manual, but it still does not shave well. Even after spending lot of time, one can find some hair remaining here & there.

I've always used electric shavers. Before buying this one, i have used Philips and Norleco shavers earlier. Both of them worked well for me.

The title says it. This is the best price for the best Braun I've had since my first one in Germany 15 years ago. Close shave, not hard on my face, and I like the toggle on/off push button. It's a little louder than some other electrics, but I don't buy electric razors to be quiet - I buy them for a great shave, which this one provides. I found it under two names, though, even within the same store - Freecontrol 1775 and Series 1 190. Seems to be the same razor, as I found this same issue at two stores.

This shaver is not worth the money. Don't buy it. Doesn't shave worth a nickel. After a couple of weeks, I put it in the drawer and got a Norelco.

I bought this as a gift for my brother. He had one of the first electric razors and it was so old and beat up, I figured he needed a new one. About a month after I gave it to him, I noticed he was still using the old one. I asked him why. His answer: the old one works better. An 8-year-old $20 electric razor was superior to this brand new product. He said that the couple times he tried to use it, there were whole areas of his face it could not shave. My brother has a normal face.

Total failure, Braun.

I bought this shaver based on the glowing reviews here. My experience is different. The quality is very cheap, and it probably takes me 5 times as long to shave with this vs. my ancient twin-foil Braun. It also misses many hairs, and refuses to cut them when they get a little long. I find myself having to use a blade to clean up what it leaves behind. Junk.
