Braun Series 9 Electric Shaver, With Clean & Charge Station & Leather Case, Flawless Shave, 100% Waterproof, Gifts for Men, 2 Pin Bathroom Plug, 9390cc, Silver

My first venture into the realm of electric shaving occurred last year when I bought a Philips Smart Shaver 7000 series. The Philips was OK, but I have fairly sensitive skin, and it would leave my skin red and blotchy after each use, unless I shaved wet while in the shower. It would also miss several fairly large patches of hair, despite multiple attempts going over the same area in the mirror. The fine trimming attachment was also a bit useless, so the razor could never really get at the hard-to-reach hairs just under the nose. All this started to get a bit annoying, and I’d find myself preferring to use my old razor instead, somewhat defying the point of having it! As such, I’d been toying with the idea of replacing the Phillips for a while. I was torn between sacking-off electric shaving all together, sticking to the wet-shave standard Gillette/Wilkinson sword models and classing it as a failed experiment, vs upgrading to a different style premium electric razor. The cost of the premium models (c.£300-500) had always been prohibitive. However, when I came across this Braun Series 9 with cleaning station for a massively reduced price (£169.99) in the Black Friday sales, I thought ‘now or never!’, so took the plunge. I must say, I’m really pleased. The set-up was really easy, and the first use was great. It handled my skin really well, and left no annoying patches. Afterwards, my skin was soft and there were no red blotches in sight. It also successfully got at the hard-to-reach areas with no issues at all. It feels solid and well-made, but isn’t too heavy, so it’s easy to maneuver. The cleaning station is fairly chonky, but isn’t too intrusive. It sits quite happily on my bathroom shelf in the corner with plenty of room to spare. I returned to find the unit perfectly clean, fully charged and ready to use again. So, all-in-all, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone else, especially at this price. It’s good for sensitive skin, quick, efficient and has a handy extra blade for hard-to-reach areas without having to take the head off and add another separate attachment. For me, at least, it seems to work better than the rotary razor equivalents. That being said, I haven’t tried the equivalent Phillips 9000 model, but I’m satisfied enough with this Braun not to bother.

Thanks for reading my review of the Braun 9390 I have had one or two shavers in the past. All less than £100. With those I always ended up sore, cut skin and rashes. This was my first Braun and I am genuinely impressed with the results. It cuts very close to the skin and I have no rashes or cuts at all. This may be because technology has improved with electric razors as to has the hygiene of them thanks to the self cleaning station. It’s fast, feels well made and powerful. There is absolutely no plucking. It does feel slightly warm when using it for more than 10 mins (I’m slow) which I quite like. After all who wants to feel a freezing cold mental against their face? I have used it both dry and with foam and both are comfortable. The closeness of the shave slightly better with foam but not by much. Monday to Friday I just dry shave now. Nothing can match a wet razor, but this comes close. My reason for purchasing it was because in the week when getting up for work I often cannot be assed with wet shaving. Simply turn it on and start shaving. Done. No mess. No hairs on my nice white shirt. One downside is, it’s very noisy. So if you were planning on using this in your en-suite and not waking up your other half it probably won’t work. I use mine in the main bathroom and I haven’t woken up the house as of yet. Perhaps it’s because at 4am everything seems louder than it really is? Something else I’d like to mention that is often overlooked is that shaving isn’t a pleasure to me. Tugging of skin. Being wet and cold. Nicks and cuts. With this it’s actually enjoyable to an extent. Of course making me looking professional and clean shaved for the day ahead. It’s sometimes nice when giving myself a wet shave at the weekend to run the Gillette over it for some super smooth skin but this isn’t really needed unless you’re as fussy as me. Give it a try. You get a 100 day money back guarantee so there isn’t nothing to use. Also buy from Amazon guys. Exchanges etc are a lot easier than somewhere like Argos where the staff get funny when trying to return an item.

It’s not worth it at all. I invested in it hoping it’ll be better for my sensitive skin but is not. The shave is not perfect and leaves a few hair behind and also the skin is braised

Simplemente perfecta. De las pocas maquinillas con las que puedo afeitarme incluso en seco y que no me deje el cuello irritado. Con un par de pasadas en seco basta para dejar la piel al nivel de una cuchilla, sin que te irrite lo más mínimo. Vengo de un serie 7 con mas de 8 años y se nota la diferencia. Es cara, pero al final con lo que dura merece la pena. Si tu presupuesto es ajustado un serie 8 o 7 harán el trabajo a la perfección también, pero se agradece que necesites menos pasadas para apurar esos pelos rebeldes. La base de Limpieza no es necesaria, por si quieres ahorrar algo, ya que se limpia con suma facilidad, pero si que ayuda a la hora de limpiarla y mantenerla lubricada si no dispones de tiempo para ello. Pulsar un botón y la base hace el trabajo por ti. Lo dicho, encantado con ella, ahora solo esperar a que me dure igual que la anterior.

Gillar 👍

Wie erwartet bekam ich den Braun Rasierer zeitnah und gut verpackt geschickt. Bin bis jetzt sehr zufrieden.

Globalement déçu par rapport à mon ancien série 7 (5 ans de bons et loyaux services, seul le revêtement de surface se désagrégeait) et par rapport au pris très élitiste : certes le produit est beau dans l'absolu, mais Braun semble se reposer sur ses lauriers acquis et rogner sur la qualité de ses nouveaux produits (ont-ils été rachetés par un groupe Chinois ? on peut le penser...). - la qualité de finition est aussi médiocre : recouvrement synthétique qui semble aussi fragile (et non matériaux noble comme peut le suggérer la présentation) ; - grille dont j'attendais beaucoup et laisse passer des poils longs que le série 7 maîtrisait - perte de la fonction alimentation par cordon que proposait le série 7 (indispensable en voyage de plus d'1 semaine) - l'écran led du série 7 était bien plus clair lisible que l'indicateur graduel pour le niveau de charge et de propreté. Seuls progrès constatés : - la tondeuse plus ergonomique (mais dont je ne me sert pas) - le blocage de la tête plus simple et fiable - la station de lavage plus efficace (mais qui consomme aussi plus de liquide : 4 semaines maxi avec une recharge là ou j'atteignais les 6 semaine auparavant, donc un coût d'usage supérieur). Bref ayant acheté 2 de ces appareils (un pour moi et un en cadeau) l'addition me semble salée et non justifiée, et je conserve mon série 7 pour le reprendre au quotidien dès que celui-ci manifestera des signes d'usure.
