Braun Series 7- 790cc (9595) Pulsonic Shaver

I am very happy with this shaver. Not only will it take away 2 day stubble with ease and no pulling, but I haven't got even the slightest razor burn. It offers a good close shave, and is well designed. Granted you can get a closer shave with a razor but not with this kind of comfort. I may have found my last shaver.

First electric shaver ever. Researched and went for the best out there according to the critics. Paid good price for new technology and hoped for the best. My beard is average? One thing for sure If I let a day go by it becomes a pain in the arse. Used fussion blades and gillette shaving cream and after several minutes and if the blades are relatively new I would end up, with what is known, as a close shave. Hard to beat and regretfully the Braun Series 7- 790cc (9595) Pulsonic Shaver does not come even as close or better still, is unable to perform as well. Regardless of how many approaches to shaving with this machine I use I do not end up with a smooth surface. Does not conquer basically anything (neck, upper lip, sides of face) but it does clean up the appearance and for that reason I have to give it 4 Stars. Less hassle than pulling the old razor and shaving but not the same results. Like the cleaning unit that is included for it does clean well the shaver. Yes, a little steep priced the liquid but, hey, when you spend over $200 for a shaver you are supposedly able and willing to dish out for the additional convenience and comfort. Every time I finish shaving and I check for smoothness I find there is none, it is not a perfect shave but it does shave enough where for that day you can put a check-mark on the calendar. Sorry I bought it? No. As good as the real deal? No. But I knew that that the razor blade shave is hard to beat. 4 Stars for offering a decent alternative.

This razor WILL save you BIG MONEY if you're currently using a manual blade system like the Gillette Fusion or Mach-3.

Manual replacement blades, which cost big money, definitely last very little time before they become dull. I got this Braun razor about a year ago for $199.99 and it came with a $50.00 Amazon gift certificate. So I got an amazing razor, the best they make for $150.00 since I'm def going to be using the gift certificates for stuff I need at the already lowest price. I no longer have to buy a new pack of blades every 4 weeks (only have to replace the blade set once a year now for $25.00) and no shave cream ever (have to buy cleaning and lubrication packs though) and I never get irritated skin anymore.

So now I've spent $150.00 + $25.00 + $50.00 = $225.00 for the first year and a half I've used this razor instead of $25.00 x 18 months (what I had been paying every 4 weeks for blades) + $100.00 (18 months of shave cream) + $15 for stupid razor handle-thing= $565.00

The manual blade system cost me roughly 2.5 times what I now pay, and as a plus I no longer get irritated skin ever.

My goodness, this is the best razor I've ever owned. With my old razor, I would shave for a half hour or more and I'd have stubble by the end of the day. With this one, I shaved 3+ weeks of beard growth in 15 minutes and three days later I still have hardly any stubble! I used to hate shaving and always had somewhat of a beard, but I think that'll change with this new razor!

It even has an electric display on it that tells you how dirty it is and comes with a cool charging/cleaning station. This is probably the best electric razor available today. When you look at it that way, the $260 price tag is a bargain!

The Braun Series 7 Pulsonic Shaver is as close a shave as you can get without a blade. The pulsonic action feels so good that now I shave twice a day! It's second to none when comparing electric shavers. Definitely worth the extra money... plus now I'm saving money since I no longer have to buy expensive multi-blade replacement cartridges and shaving cream. I guess that makes it eco friendly too.
