Braun Series 7 790cc

I have used this shaver for a few years now, and the blades still seem to work well. The cleaning station also still does a great job of cleaning, as long as you don't ask too much of it. I love that lemon smell. :) Only caveat is that I keep buying fluid cartridges from Braun, so, like printer ink manufacturers, they've got me hooked for life. But the price per cartridge is reasonable. I would definitely recommend this to my friends. STRATEGIES FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF THE FLUID CARTRIDGES. Braun wrangles you in with the fluid cartridges for the self-clean cycle. I try to make the most out of the cartridges with the following strategy: 1. After each shaving use, take about 20-30 seconds to take off the foil, expose the blades, and blow out as much hair from the blades and foil as you can. That way, when you wash it, all that hair doesn't go straight into the fluid cartridge and gunk it up as quickly. Sure, there will be residual hair that the cleaning station can get out, but that's it's job, right? Think about it like this. It's like your dishwasher: you wouldn't overwork your dishwasher by leaving all the food on your plate when you stick your plate into the dishwasher, right? You would wash the plate off a little in the sink, then toss it in the dishwasher. Similarly, with this shaver, just blow out the excess hair manually with your breath or a little brush, the stick the shaver in cleaning station (but don't use the station yet!) 2. The other part of the strategy helps mitigate evaporation and thus cleaning fluid loss over time. I think the solution is alcohol or something, but the point is, the seal between the fluid cartridge and the cleaning station is not 100%, so slowly, fluid evaporates out and the fluid level drops. This is WITHOUT you even using the station to clean the blades. Also, as the cleaning station cycles fluid around the shaver, that too, allows the fluid to be exposed to air, causing more fluid evaporation and loss. So my suggestion is to only run the cleaning cycle maybe every three shaves, which means it will wash it less. (This is unfortunately mitigated by the fact that the shaver knows how often it has been used...and can adjust from the clean level from low, to medium, to high based on 1-3 uses. So a strong wash probably uses more fluid, but hey, I can only do so much before I am defeated by my smart shaver!) I get a cartridge to last about 6-8 weeks, and I shave 3-4 days a week, and run clean cycle once a week. (I don't have a 9-5 job :) ). So if you are shaving every day, I might suggest a cleaning cycle once a week, and you should get similar performance. I realize this is a $200 shaving system, so would the purchaser be that frugal with the cartridges or even bother with this strategy? Hey it's just my advice, you don't have to follow it. SHAVE QUALITY Shave quality is excellent, love the three different power modes. I use the gentle mode for around my lips and chin, medium for the sides of my face, and high for my neck. As they say, YMMV, so see what works for you. The long hair trimmer is SUCH an unsung hero. This thing is EPIC. I used to use it even more than the actual trimmer when I was sporting my 'unkempt' look for a while. Had to ditch it, too many gray hairs on my face now, and they're unevenly distributed. The joys of being in my 30's. Anyways, I love the reach the long hair trimmer has, it sticks out on a little flap that gives you some serious reach, that way you don't have the regular shaving blades right up against your face. One improvement might be to turn off the regular shaving blades with the long hair trimmer is activated? I also love the ease of use of opening the long hair trimmer: it's like a badass little switchblade or something. And the position in which you hold the shaver when the long hair trimmer is open and running is perfect: that hand position forces you to keep the trimmer open, which means it can't collapse back into the shaver while you are using on your face. It's little design features like this that make me recommend products to friends. Happily, I give it five stars. And this is after a few years of use, after the shine of a new product as worn off, and I'm using it as part of the daily grind.

For the last 50 years or so (oops, I just dated myself) I've used the latest and greatest blade razors because no electronic shaver I tried could handle my heavy beard. I get incredibly smooth shaves with my current razor, but shaving with it is literally a pain. If I shave leaning over a sink by the time I'm finished I need a strong pain-killer for my very bad back. Even standing in the shower using a shower mirror hurts, and I don't always want to shower when I need to shave. The result of all this is that I had started going two or even three days between shaves and was looking pretty scruffy. So I decided to try an electric shaver again. After some research it seemed that the Braun Series 7 was probably the best choice for me so, after choking a bit on the price, I placed my Amazon order. And am I pleased that I did! The combination of Braun quality, which has always been superb, and advances in their design and technology since the last time I tried an electronic shaver (probably 10+ years ago) has produced an amazing shaver. The first shave out of the box (after charging) was totally comfortable and extremely smooth and close. Not quite equal to my blade razor, but darn close. At the end of the day, no 5 o'clock shadow. Braun, like all electric shaver manufacturers, says that you need to use your new shaver for a month or two before your skin becomes accustomed to it. I've used my 7 Series for about 10 days now and I've gotten consistently excellent shaves and absolutely no skin irritation. I'm very pleased already but if the shaves get better over the next few weeks, all I'll be able to say is "wow!". And since Braun recommends that you shave with a dry face, I can shave any time without the whole blade production of wetting your face, applying shaving cream, shaving, in my case repeating all this against the grain, rinsing, and finally applying skin moistener. Which means no painful back from leaning over a sink or no need to take a shower. And the whole process of shaving with the Braun takes less than half the time of a razor shave. The result of all this is that I am a very happy camper, shaving every day and getting great shaves. I should briefly mention Braun's charging and cleaning system - it is fabulous. While you can charge with a cord and clean the shaver under running water (very useful when traveling), I highly recommend using Braun's charger/cleaner every day. It does a fantastic job, results in better shaves, and should prolong the useful life of the shaver before you have to change the blade cartridge.

I now know why it is ranked #1 on many professional sites. The cleaning mechanism is as hi tech as you can get and simple to learn. First time I have not had to follow up a shave with a small throw-away razer to clean up the parts missed - smoothest shave ever. The Model 7 is ranked the best even more so than the newer #8 and #9 models. A little pricey but if you want the best quality you have to be prepared to pat the price of a shaver that will undoubtedly last many many years.

Puedo decir que siempre he usado braun y hasta el momento esta ha sido la mejor que he tenido. Por el precio pensé que me costó mucho pero una vez que la he usado puedo decir que pagaría eso e incluso más. Funciona muy bien con la barba en 1 o 2 mm de largo incluso, cosa que anteriores no lo hacían.

Almost no reviews mention this but this is a breeze to use if you need to shave your head. I actually bought this for this very reason. A brilliant even if somewhat pricey product. Absolutely love it!

I have been using electric razors for the past 10 years or so - Philips, Panasonic, Braun. But this particular Braun product has to be the best so far. I think its smooth, the battery life is excellent, the grip is comfortable, and the ability to clean the razor is extremely useful.
