The Braun 9595 Series 7 Electric Shaver is one of the most popular lines from Braun, in their long line of foil head shavers that they have brought to the market over the years. Weighing in at around $275 – $300 online, it is not a cheap model but let’s look at the reasons why it’s popular.

Overview

The Braun 9595 Series 7 Electric Shaver is one of the most popular lines from Braun, in their long line of foil head shavers that they have brought to the market over the years.

This is not a cheap series of shavers so let’s look at the features that make this one is so popular.

Appearance and Accessories

The razor itself is quite a striking silver, chrome and blue color and is a solid design with a rubber gripping back-side for ease of holding and using. It has a rounded oblong shaped head supporting the blades and foil cutting system and quite a straight stem. It looks very solid but is not too heavy.

With its sophisticated cleaning and docking station (“Clean and Renew”) this is a bulky item for an electric shaver, though people have become more used to this as docking stations have become more commonplace in recent years.

Main Features

• The 10,000 plus micro-vibrations per minute from the head make this a powerful unit – this system stimulates the skin and allows more hairs to be trapped and cut.

• The precision Gillette Blade Technology works to cut the hairs and provide a close shave first time without any pulling.

• Braun’s touch-sensitive foils that cover the blades provide a smooth, comfortable shave that minimizes any irritation or risk of soreness.

• The Braun 9595 Series 7 head is flexible, with a pivoting head, and will follow the contours of the face and the neck, enhancing the comfort of the shave and also meaning that it can reach all the harder to get to areas.

• A Power-Comb feature lifts any problem hairs that lie flat to the skin in hard-to-shave areas, meaning that less hair is missed.

• A quick charge option is available for charging the Lithium ion battery, which takes about 5 minutes.

•  Full recharge takes about an hour.

• Provides around 50 minutes of continuous cordless shaving.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The Clean and Renew system docking station is one of the features that makes this model stand out.

It will clean, lubricate, dry and recharge the razor efficiently, thanks to its Energy Star qualified battery charger.

The system can be activated as the touch of a button and the washing cycle completed either fully or in a Fast mode that will clean the shaver in 25 seconds if you are in a hurry.

Alternatively, the unit can be washed under running water effectively, if the Clean and Renew system is unavailable or if you decide not to take it when you travel.

Users recommend combining standard cleaning with using the cleaning station to save on cleaning cartridge costs.

Price

You can buy a Braun 9595 Series 7 electric shaver for around $275 – $300 online,

Warranty

This shaver comes with a 2-year warranty which excludes the cutter and foil which will probably need replacing inside 2 years.

User Reviews

The Braun 9595 Series 7 electric shaver is one of the highest rating models of electric razor from users on the largest online retail sites.

Despite the high price, users are overwhelmingly positive about the close, comfortable shave it provides and the ease of maintenance with the Clean and Renew system.

The main negative with this model is the price of the shaver and the cleaning fluid, which takes it out of many people’s budgets.

The Braun 560 Rechargeable Shaver is one of their high-range, Series 5 shavers. It looks to bring a “power and precision” approach to shaving, using its Gillette blade technology.

As expected with a Braun it is a foil head shaver, but let’s see what else can you expect from one of these units.

Appearance and Inclusions

Style-wise the 560 is shaped with non-slip finger-grips that make it nice and easy to hold and use.  It is blue and silver in color and tapers slowly from the precision, floating foil head down to the base and features an LED on the front with 5 light indicators.

As well as the shaver, this unit comes with a deluxe travel pod and cleaning brush.

Main Features

• Gillette Blade Technology is used in a 3-stage cutting system.

• The Gillette precision comfort blades are specially-angled to give the closest shave possible and are designed to remove hair effortlessly in one stroke, resulting in less irritation.

• In this unit you see the expertise of an established blade company with Braun’s expertise in providing powerful, convenient and comforting electric shaving units.

• For a tailored shave there is a Comfort Setting switch, which controls the level of pivoting according to your own requirements. The head adjusts well to shape of the face.

• The extra-thin smartfoils used in this series help to raise any flattened hairs and align them, ready for cutting by the high-speed blades.

• Any flattened hairs that have not been raised by the foil will be caught by the power comb, which is especially good for the neck area. This ensures an all-over shave, with fewer “missed” hairs.

• An extendable trimmer also allows for any longer hairs in the beard or sideburns to be trimmed easily.

• The shaver is operated with the same up and down movements as a wet shaver, so it is easy to control and the slim heads mean that it’s easy to use it in the hard-to-reach areas.

• Its battery is lithium ion and there is a 5-minute quick charge facility if you are in a hurry.

• Fully rechargeable unit that can be used for travelling.

• Automatically selects the right worldwide voltage setting.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The Braun 560 is washable under running water for easy cleaning. Just switch the shaver on for 5 to 10 seconds and rinse, after each use.

For best results a drop of machine oil every now and again wouldn’t hurt either.

Price

The Braun 560 Rechargeable Shaver is usually priced at between $180 and $240, depending on where you look.

Warranty

The Braun 560 comes with a year 1-year manufacturer’s warranty.

User Reviews

Most users rate the Braun 560 very well in terms of the closeness and comfort of shave, good battery life and ease of use and cleaning.

The main negative comment from users was about the travel case only being big enough for the shaver and not for the cleaning brush too, so nothing too major.

The Braun Series 5-550CC Shaver System is a high end foil-head shaver. As you might expect from a sophisticated Braun shaver it has many stand-out features over the average electric shaver which is why it’s part of my top 10 electric shaver list – lets take a closer look…..

This model is not to be confused with the very-similar Braun Series 5-590CC, which is more black than chrome.

Appearance and Inclusions

The Braun Series 5-550CC is a stylish black and chrome color with a chrome-coloured foil head; it has a contoured design with grip features running up the sides of the stem of the shaver.

It comes with a stylish cleaning and recharging docking (‘Clean and Renew’) station, also in black, and a soft travel pouch and a cleaning brush.

Main Features

• The Contour Adaptive Shaving Head is a pivoting head that adapts well to the shape of the jaw and face.

• The unit uses Braun’s most advanced foil system called “Optifoil” over the heads. The perforated foil allows a very close shave.

• It uses a 3-blade triple action cutting system, grabbing both short and long hairs.

• Any areas of hair that are lying flat are raised by the ActiveLift system, which is an oscillating middle trimmer designed for this purpose.

• There is a long-hair trimmer built in too.

• It can be used for dry or wet shaving with cream/gel.

• The unit uses a powerful rechargeable Li-Ion battery and it can be used cordlessly for up to 45 minutes at full battery charge.

• A full charge takes about 60 minutes but will give you plenty of shaves and allow you to take it away on holiday without needing to charge again.

• If you are in a hurry there is a useful 5 minute quick-charge option.

• Automatic worldwide voltage adjustment mechanism means that there are no worries about plugging it in, anywhere in the world.

• LED display to show battery status and a cleaning indicator.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The Series 5-550CC can be cleaned easily and conveniently under running water. For quick cleaning just run the heads under the tap and use the brush to get rid of excess hair.

For more comprehensive cleaning then the razor can be docked and, at the press of a button, the Clean and Renew system will thoroughly clean, lubricate and recharge the unit to get it looking like new again.

Price

The Braun Series 5-550CC retails for around $170 but can be found discounted online for around $140 or less.

Warranty

The Braun Series 5-550CC comes with a 2-year warranty.

User Reviews

Users of the Braun Series 5-550CC Shaver System hold it in good esteem, saying that it gives a good close shave, even on the neck area, doesn’t cause irritation and feels good in the hand, when using.

They also say that the battery is powerful and the cleaning system is easier to use than in earlier Braun models.

The main complaint was form a left-handed user who said that it wasn’t set up for him to use, so any left-handers may want to shop around a bit, but for most others it seems to provide a great quality shave and is a reliable, flexible and convenient high-end unit, if you are looking for something in this price-range.

Overview

All epilators look a little frightening to me but I’m a man and I’ve never had a wax!

Therefore the heads on these devices which have tweezers that resemble little teeth probably aren’t as dread-inducing to a woman who will be thankful to some of the advances that these items have made over the years, in terms of minimizing the discomfort of extracting hair.

Just so everybody is clear, epilators don’t chop hair; they remove it at the roots, but without the potentially harmful chemicals involved in other methods.

Braun has been at the forefront of this technology for female shaving for a while and here we look at their Silk-epil SoftPerfection unit: its design, its features and its reactions from users.

Appearance and Accessories

The Braun SE3170 is a very feminine pink color and weighs around 9 ounces, with matte finish grips for easy gripping in the palm of a lady’s hand.

The unit comes supplied with power cable and cleaning brush.

Main Features

• The latest in technology for removing hair at the root, using a SoftLift system for extra close epilation and smoother skin.

• Braun claims that it provides smooth hair-free skin for up to 4 weeks, though this is hard to verify.

• It achieves its advertised “gentle” approach by using two four-way massage rollers that stimulate the skin before and after hair removal, to reduce the pulling sensation.

• It also uses small tips in its epilating head that are designed to lift individual hair follicles so that even the flat-lying hairs can be removed, adding to the smoothness of the finished area of skin.

• Epilation with the EfficiencyPro clip lets you cover a larger area of skin- more hairs are removed first time without having to re-pass over the same area.

• Two speed settings that offer slow and gentle or quick hair-removal.

• Mains operated.

Cleaning and Maintenance

For cleaning a brush is provided. There is no recharging of this unit – it is mains operated, which makes sense because of the length of time that epilating generally takes would require constant recharging or replacing of batteries.

Price

Retailing at $70 but available online at $50 or below, this unit is slightly lower-priced than Braun’s X’elle Body System epilator.

Warranty

The Braun Soft Perfection Epilator comes with Braun’s one-year limited warranty.

User Reviews

This device has produced largely positive responses from users, who have praised its ease of use and its minimization of the pain factor. Of course pulling hairs is always going to hurt somewhat but most reviewers understand this and even offer useful tips to reduce it when using this device. It seems to handles plucking of hair in all locations on the body, with enough practice.

Some users have complained that frequent use leads to more ingrown hairs and stubble being produced but those who have used these types of appliances for a while provide good tips for getting around these problems and the most important piece of advice seems to be to remain patient.

To summarize, if you’re fed up with exfoliating lotions that don’t work or waxing that is painful and expensive, then the Silk-epil offers a great, value-for-money alternative for most women.

Overview

The X’elle Body System Epilator is Braun’s answer to female grooming. Just so that everybody is clear, an epilator, as opposed to a shaver or razor, will remove a batch of hairs at a time by gripping and pulling them out; they are not designed to shear hairs, but to extract them.

Epilators in general are often considered painful to use, as they pull hair out at the roots, like with waxing. Most advances in the technology have understandably concentrated on making the experience less torturous for the user.

Here we look at the Braun system and how it stacks up with ladies who’ve used one.

Appearance and Accessories

The product is intended as a gentle but effective approach to epilating and is small enough to fit into the palm of most ladies’ hands.

It is light blue in color, bean-shaped, weighs around 12 ounces and comes provided with a storage pouch and cleaning brush, as well as a separate shaver head.

Main Features

• Uses 40 individual tweezers in its head.

• The height of pain-reduction is achieved because of its Active Massage system of rollers on the skin that stimulate it with micro-pulses before and after the hair is plucked.

• The two-speed system is designed to remove the smallest of hairs.

• Braun claims that it leaves the skin silky smooth for “up to 4 weeks”.

• A SmartLight illuminates the area being tended to – shows up even the tiniest and flattest hairs.

• Supplied with this model is a separate trimmer head – attach it to the body of the epilator cut the hairs, as an alternative to a full epilating treatment.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The unit comes with a cleaning brush that can be used to clean away residual hairs from the tweezers and the insides of the epilator.

Price

You may see the X’elle Body System Epilator retailing for around $200 but can pick it up for $120-$160 at established online retailers.

Warranty

Braun’s X’elle Body System Epilator comes with a one-year warranty.

User Reviews

Over 80% of users have had positive experiences with Braun’s X’elle Body System Epilator, which is a very good sign.

Users say that it is easy to hold and operate, that it manages to pluck hairs in any area with the minimum of pain, due to the numbing effect of the massage rollers, and liked the added shaver that was provided for lazy days.

They also said that it could handle pretty much any length of hair, even the shortest ones, which means that you don’t have to wait for the hairs to grow much after the first few times you use it, before you can achieve smoothness again. They also regularly praise the SmartLight system for detection of hairs.

On the con side, some users say that it is rather loud to use, but it’s  the micro-pulses which numb the skin that causes most of the noise, so most were prepared to put up with this. Others say that the power cord was a little short and suggested using it with an extension cord.

This unit is by no means cheap, but waxing is not cheap either and this is a very good alternative, by all accounts, and should last you for years.

On a side note, there are plenty of good online tips for ladies using one of these devices for the first time and fearful of the initial discomfort it may cause when pulling hairs. You can Google online help.

The Braun Series 7 – 790cc Pulsonic Shaver System is recognized as one of the industry-leading models of foil head shaver and though it’s priced accordingly it also looks the part!

It’s one of three models in the Series 7, the others being the 760cc and the 720cc.

It certainly has all the bells and whistles, which makes most $40 shavers look like something from the Dark Ages; here we look at the features that stand out with this device and what you can expect if you end up buying one.

Appearance and Inclusions

This silver and black-colored unit, with a blue LED display, is a solid build, weighing 2.7 pounds with its Clean and Renew System. You know you’re holding something serious!

It employs a rubber grip for ease of use and allows the clipper to be folded away.

The shaver comes with a travel pouch and long-hair clipper, as well as its cleaning station.

Main Features

• Pulsonic Technology–active head oscillating at over 10,000 micro-vibrations per minute, stimulating the skin and helping to deliver a very close and comfortable shave.

• SensoFlex technology brings a sensitive flexing head that pivots and flexes and follows the facial contours. It has twice the adaptation angle compared to other Braun shavers, as well as 6 times more flexing action on its foils.

• Gillette Precision Comfort Blade technology that uses a triple-blade cutting system. It cuts hair close in a single stroke without pulling or tugging – creating exceptional closeness and comfort.

• Ultra-sensitive and irritation-free, vibrating Optifoils for extra comfort.

• It provides 3 different shaving modes for a more individual shave.

• It has an oscillating middle trimmer that lifts & cuts flat-lying hair, meaning a great shave even in the problem areas.

• Beard trimmer which folds away into a rubber grip handle.

• Visual charging LED indicator.

• Energy Star rating battery (no other shaver has this).

• Cordless shave time around 50 minutes.

• Quick Charge option that takes 5 minutes, if you are in a hurry. Otherwise 60 minute full charge time for the powerful rechargeable Li-Ion battery.

• Automatic voltage adjustment when overseas.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The shaver is easy to maintain, as it comes with Braun’s Clean & Renew system docking station.

At the press of a button the shaver will be cleaned, lubricated and dried and it can also recharge at the same time.

Price

This truly is a premium model shaver and the price-point of $215-$270 on Amazon (including shipping) buys you a state-of-the-art unit.

Warranty

There is a 2-year warranty on the Braun Series 7 – 790cc Pulsonic Shaver System and Braun also offer a 60-day period after buying when you can return the item if you are really not getting on with it.

User Reviews

Users have generally raved about the convenience of the model, the closeness and comfort of the shave, its low noise output and its attractive and intelligent design.

The odd negative comments revolve around things like not being able to see where you’re trimming because of the angle of the trimmer, the shaver head heating up too much during use and the carry case not being big enough to hold the bulky charger.

But, judging by most users’ comments, we would expect most buyers to be very happy with their purchase; reaction has been 80-90% positive.

One way for users to justify the price is to divide it up over the number of days you will use this device – maybe 5 or 6 years or longer – and then it equates to a matter of a few cents per day!

Braun Series 1 Shaver Review

Are you someone who does not need all of the modern technology and features to get an excellent shave? The Braun Series 1 Shaver has just what you are looking for. This simplistic men’s shaver possesses all of the qualities of a good modern day shaver without all of the fancy gadgets that one has. Shaving is already a huge hassle for some men and some electric razors are too complex for some men to figure out. The Braun Shaver is very simple to use and comes with a lot of excellent features.

Features of the Braun Series 1 Shaver

Although they have made this series of shavers very simple to use Braun has not taken anything away from it. These men’s shavers feature ultra thin foil heads so a man can get a close comfortable shave. They have also done something different with the foil heads of this shaver and created a free float system which stays with the contours of your face and effortlessly follows along whichever direction you guide it in.

Another great thing about this electric razor is that it is waterproof. This means when you are done shaving it can be ran under warm water to clean it off and prepare for it to be used the next time you need to shave.

The Braun Series 1 Shaver is cordless and rechargeable. That means you will be able to take it anywhere you want to shave and then put it on the recharging base when you are finished using it. The time that it takes to recharge is only one hour, so if you want to come back in and run it over your face just for the good feeling it gives you it enables you to do that rather quickly.

This shaver also features a pop out mustache and sideburn trimmer so that when you are finished shaving the hair off of your face and neck you can straighten up the other hair on and around your facial area.

Braun Series 1 Shaver-a Low Priced Simple Shave

Forget all of the bells and whistles that other shavers have added to try to get you to buy their products. You have to read a book the size of a small novel to learn to use them and then they still do not work as well as promised most of the time. If you are ready to shave using a simple to use electric shaver this is it. The Braun Series 1 Shaver has a low price tag of about $60 depending on the model number you choose and the store you go to. Let the technology geeks have the high priced electric razors, you go with the lowest priced simplest shave a man can get.

You will be able to carry this men’s electric shaver with you on business trips, vacation, or just a weekend getaway. No matter where you go you will always be able to maintain a sharp appearance.

Features of the Braun PocketGo Shaver

We do not think you should have to go without the use of the features that are available on any of the full size Braun shavers, and the makers of this great product did not think so either. You will still be able to enjoy the ultra thin foil head that is extra wide and adjusts to the contours of your face to provide you with an extra close comfortable shave.

The PocketGo Shaver is also washable so you will not have to worry about waiting until you arrive home from your busy day at work or from a weekend trip to be able to clean it before using it again. Simply run it under any faucet and it will come clean with ease.

There is also a feature that makes this a great men’s shaver for protection and handling. It has a unique twist cap on it that protects the foil head of the shaver when it is not in use. You can also twist the cap down to extend it into a full size electric shaver. This makes holding it easier so you can ensure that you will not drop it and damage it.

Braun PocketGo Shaver-Convenience at a Great Low Price

Warranty

User Reviews

The main negative voiced about the Braun Series 7 is that its cleaning system is very noisy on the 790cc and 760cc models (the 720cc has no cleaning system) and cleaning it thoroughly under the tap is a little more difficult than with other similar models from Panasonic and Philips Norelco.

Positive comments abound about the Braun Series 7 units, from the feel in the hand to the closeness and smoothness of the shave to the thoroughness and convenience of the cleaning system.

This shaver is not priced within everyone’s budget but you’ll find that those who have spent the extra dollars consider it money well spent, with most giving it a very high rating.

User Reviews

These grooming units have become popular because they can save money when compared with the relatively high cost of laser hair removal or waxing.

The Braun BodyCruzer Body Groomer is exceptional value considering what it can save you.

Most users seem to have experienced good things from this unit, with special mentions for its versatility (trimming/shaving or combined), the fact that it uses standard Gillette razor cartridges rather than specialist ones and its solid build.

The main negatives include some difficulties with using the shaver/trimmer in combination mode and with getting the angles right.
