Braun Series 9 Pro 9419s Electric Shaver for Men, Wet & Dry Razor, Shaving Kit with 4+1 Head with ProLift Trimmer

I bought 3 electric razors in my life - all NORELCOs. 20 years, after the 3rd time i tried an electric razor, I declared they would NEVER EVER get better! When i had the Norelco electric razors the following was my experience. My shave PREP: 1) i have have always owned something like BaBylissPRO GOLDFX. I used this to trim my whiskers down (as close as i could get them) 2) i did a quick wash and dry (face). 3) After drying - 15 minutes or so after - I would use the Norelco. IT was TORTURE! It didn't cut the whiskers - it tried to tear them from my face. I then spent 15+ minutes trying to get it to shave my face!! I HATED IT! I said I bought THREE of them - and i did! I would buy one, HATE IT WORSE than anything, quit using it! Over a number of years (always thinking they would get better - they NEVER GOT BETTER! I swore to everyone - it's pure torture and you will NEVER get a good shave unless you torture. yourself for 40 minutes trying to get a clean shave! WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! I SWORE THEN AND THERE - AS I TOSSED MY VERY EXPENSIVE RAIDERS IN THE TRASH - THAT I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER ELECTRIC RAZOR! NOT EVER! OK - SO, I AM ON THE ROAD FOR WORK A LOT!! I WAS SHOWING UP WITH WHISKERS. I WAS BACK TO USING MY USUAL BaBylissPRO Barberology GOLDFX (WHICH I LOVE! IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE - GET ONE! IT'S THE BEST!). WHILE my GOLDFX really took the whiskers down - it wasn't giving me the clean cut my clients expect. (long story short - i was convinced to try the BRAUN). I rolled my eyes and said - it will TEAR the hair out of my face, PI@#$@ me off, i would return it and never ever order another electric razor. I KNEW what was going to happen! PAIN! TORTURE! 15 minutes of trying to get it to cut the whiskers! AGAIN - 3 top of the line (yes - 20+ years ago) electric razors and all i got was torture and a worthless shave! All 3 over a 10 year span (all top of the line) simply ripped the whiskers from my face (nothing that painful in the shave world). it would teak 30+ minutes of constantly trying to get a clean shave. OK - blah blah - you get the idea! So i got this Braun 9, it was dead so i charged it. I used my goldFX to cut whiskers short, washed my face in the morning before leaving the house - grabbed my charged Braun. WAS 100% READY FOR THE PAIN! I knew i had to endure it because i am ON THE ROAD meeting customers and need a clean shave! I stopped outside the clients office, took out the braun, took a bunch of deep breaths saying "i can do this! it's only 20 minutes of hell!" When the braun touched my face - i heard the sound of hair getting cut by felt ZERO! I thought "what in the world?! is this even working!?" i stopped and touched my face. it was baby butt smooth! "what is the hell?!" i thought, is this a trick?!" I shaved my face in 40 seconds. it was baby butt smooth - ZERO pain!! I think i went into some sort of dream after that! This is by far the biggest shock surprise i have had in a LOOOOONG TIME! I could not believe it was real! This is a 5+ star product! I gave 3 stars on everything - only because i have not had it long enough to know if it's good in those areas or not. BUT i will say - HOME RUN! I NEVER BELIEVED this could possibly happen! I was convinced you just don't use electric! BRAUN! WOW! HOME RUN! This is beyond my wildest imagination - i never thought anything like this was possible! I could not even tell this was on my face! 5 star! I will up the other stars once i have had it a while! GREAT WORK!!

I’ve had this shaver for a couple months now, and it does what it’s supposed to. I purchased it to use on my head for haircuts (high and tight) but have also used it on my face. My first impression was wow this thing cuts so much faster! To add a little content, the shaver this was replacing, I purchased 26 years ago. It was still kicking, albeit a little slower. It really is night and day. I still have not run out of the initial charge after 2 haircuts, and multiple shaves on my face. I normally shave with an old school double edge razor so I’m used to a very close shave. This gets close, but not DE close, but this is to be expected. I have no problem using this before going out, or going to work. I like how the cutting assembly is serviceable by a a replacement cartridge. The last shaver had blades below the foil making it harder to clean. This one is a breeze. Shaver is light, fits my hand comfortably, and shaves very efficiently. In the end, I believe you get what you pay for, and yes, this was pricey, but if this is anything like my last one, I feel good spending the money on a good tool that will last a long time. Edit: 1/27/26 - I have now had this long enough to say that this is a good razor. In my original review, I stated that it does not get DE close. That is still true, but I will add this - there is an element of nuance to using this razor, and once you get the technique right, it gets pretty darn close to my DE razor. I now use this electric most of the time, and use my DE maybe once a week. I finally decided to charge it when it got down to one bar. This thing goes for a long time. This was a great purchase.

Although I've used a lot of electric shavers, this one really sticks out. Efficiency, comfort, and precision are all combined into one stylish device with the Braun Series 9 Pro 9419s, making for an amazing shaving experience. This shaver has been a lifesaver in my everyday routine because I frequently find myself sporting a three-day stubble. I was immediately struck by how cozy it feels in my hands. Because of its ergonomic design and ideal fit in my hand, I can easily navigate around the features of my face. Additionally, it's very light, which is advantageous for someone like myself who takes a little longer to groom. One notable feature is the ProLift trimmer, which easily manages those challenging hairs under the neck and chin that other shavers frequently overlook. When I'm in a hurry or trying to achieve that extra-polished look, this extra precision is crucial. This shaver's adaptability is another feature that I adore. I can use it with shaving foam or gel or even take it in the shower for a quick, mess-free shave because it is completely waterproof. Additionally impressive is the battery life; it lasts for multiple shaves before needing to be recharged, and when it does, the charging pace is really quick. This is ideal for my busy lifestyle because it means less leisure and more time appearing professional. All things considered, this electric shaver has made my personal grooming routine a very pleasurable experience rather than a tedious chore. The sophisticated features and well-considered design offer a soothing, effective, and smooth shave. Regardless of the length of your beard, one day or seven, this shaver manages it all with ease. This is an essential addition to your bathroom cabinet if you want to up your grooming game.

Okay, this razor is very good. Surprisingly so for an electric. With some prep and decent technique, it delivers a very good shave. Some things to note: As with all electric shavers, daily shaving delivers the best ongoing results, although this one worked fine on two days beard growth. I can't see when using the the pop-up trimmer, as it is behind the shaver head when extended. This makes the trimmer far from ideal. I have an old 1990s Norelco where the trimmer extends above the shaver head that is far easier and better to use. Battery life is good, and charging is quick enough. Things I would like to see- replaceable battery by the user; a better trimmer design, and a lower price. I bought this one on 20% off sale, but at the regular price I would have been more hesitant. The newest models, the Series 9 Pro+ kits, are over $300, and depending upon included items can be over $400. That's awfully expensive. I paid $240 on sale for this kit model, and that seems much more reasonable to me. I also don't need or like the cleaning stations, so I got the kit without one. The razor is easy enough to clean and dry without the extra kit. The battery is lithium so you will need to take this in carry on luggage if traveling. The battery capacity will surely last a weekend of shaving, but I'm not sure it would make a week. The included carry case is nice, but it only fits the razor, not the charging stand. That's my take.

I want to offer an unreserved, deeply felt endorsement of the Braun Series 9 Pro electric shaver, particularly for autistic men and others who live with intense sensory sensitivities. For most of my life, shaving was not a minor inconvenience. It was an ordeal. After shaving, my face and neck felt as though they were burning with electricity. The sensation did not stay localized. It spread, gradually and relentlessly, across my body. It was excruciating. Even the slightest touch, a collar brushing my skin, or a gentle breeze could reactivate the pain, as if my nervous system had been short-circuited. Shaving was something I endured, not something I ever improved at tolerating. That history makes what I am about to say feel almost unbelievable. I have been using the Braun Series 9 Pro for a month now, and the change has been nothing short of miraculous. For the first time in my life, shaving does not feel like an assault on my nervous system. Instead of hours or days of burning, electrically charged pain, I experience only minor sensitivity, and even that is fleeting and manageable. What surprised me most is the consistency. I have learned that for best results, I need to shave daily. With daily use, the Braun remains gentle, predictable, and remarkably kind to my skin. There is no cumulative irritation, no escalating sensory backlash. The shave is close without being punishing, thorough without being aggressive. My nervous system no longer braces for impact. For autistic men who struggle with shaving due to sensory overload, pain amplification, or delayed full-body reactions, this shaver is not just a grooming tool. It is a quality-of-life improvement. It restores a sense of dignity and calm to a task that many of us have associated with dread for decades. I do not use the word lightly when I say this: the Braun Series 9 Pro is miraculous and has changed my life in a small but profoundly meaningful way. If shaving has ever felt unbearable to you, if it has left your body buzzing with pain long after the mirror is forgotten, this may be the first device that finally gets it right.

I purchased this shaver with the expectation that it could tolerate routine wet use, including rinsing and occasional shower shaving. Unfortunately, the charging design appears inadequately sealed for real-world wet conditions. When the unit is placed upright on its charging base after use, residual water drains toward the charging interface rather than away from it. Over time, moisture accumulates around the charging pins and contact plate. This has resulted in visible corrosion (green/white oxidation) and progressive degradation of the metal contacts. Key issues observed: • Water pooling at the charging port when the shaver is docked vertically • Electrochemical corrosion of the charging pins after repeated wet use • Intermittent charging progressing to complete charging failure • No effective gasket, drain path, or protective sealing at the contact interface This is not an isolated splash exposure issue—it stems from the orientation and drainage path inherent to the charger design. A wet/dry device should reasonably tolerate post-rinse docking without internal decay. Impact: • Premature device failure • Costly replacement for what is fundamentally a preventable design flaw Recommendation to manufacturer: • Redesign the dock with sealed or recessed contacts • Introduce magnetic/inductive charging or waterproof pogo pins • Provide explicit drying or orientation guidance if wet docking is unsafe Bottom line: Performance while shaving is acceptable, but the charging system’s susceptibility to water intrusion significantly undermines durability. I would not recommend this unit for users who rely on wet shaving unless the charging interface is redesigned.

It's a great shaver. It's also not anywhere near 5 stars, but people don't read reviews with 3 stars so I'll fake it to warn as many shoppers as I can. The shave is pretty close but not super, the unit is loud, shavings fly everywhere, the charging base is kind-of a joke, so I would honestly give it somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. I like the Braun blades better than Norelco, but that's about it. Then, after owning it for a little over 1 year, the power button just fell off. I didn't drop the unit, it's never been mis-treated or even treated harshly, I was done using it so I pushed the button and it simply fell off. It must have gotten tired of being on there. The plastic features holding it in place are microscopic, now that I've seen the back of it the falling off really is no surprise, but this level of under-design and simply-not-caring-about-durability is pretty shocking. If this thing were $69.99 I'd be miffed, but for the premium pricing Braun is charging I would expect WAY better quality.

I'm a total cynic when it comes to product claims of functionality, but, in this case i have to agree that the shaver is very good and cuts 97% as close as a Harry & David razor. Like anything new, i had to learn how to use this one as each of us is different and our beards grow at different angles out of our facial skin, but after a couple of days i am getting as close a shave as i could expect. I do have to use the wet razor to go over a couple of small areas under my nose which the Braun seems to miss, but the rest of my face is smooth as i could hope for. Personally i use it wet in the shower and i'm using Avino body wash on my face, which seems to help with the results. I am not getting any irritated skin after a shave (as they claim). The only comment i would have with Braun, is they say you can use it wet or dry, but you (should) buy their cleaning fluid and device to fully clean the head, and not to rinse the head under water.... Umm... Braun... why would you say its a wet and dry shaver if you don't want the head to be rinsed in water? I would recommend this shaver to anyone.

ES LA RASURADORA QUE MAS ME HA GUSTADO, ES POTENTE Y TIENE UN NIVEL DE AFEITADO EXCELENTE, SE CARGA RAPIDO

To provide some context to this review: I generally prefer shaving with a safety razor and use an electric shaver on those days when I'm in a rush. I tend to buy higher-end electric shavers as they seem to last the longest and provide the best performance. I'm going to say at the outset that this is the best electric shaver I've ever owned. I like to spend more money on electric shavers when I buy them as I find they can last seven to ten years and perform better than lower end models. The first time I used this shaver I was sold. While it doesn't shave as closely as a razor, it's not exactly far behind in terms of closeness. I'm also using this on a near daily basis, something I never did prior to this. I do have one quibble with it though -- my previous Braun shaver had this cooling strip which made shaving with it a little more pleasant. The Series 9 Pro 9419s doesn't have it in favour of a protective skin guard. I'm not sure that the trade-off was worth it, but the good thing is that this shaver does its job so quickly that's not a big deal. The heaviest beard I did shave it with was a three-day, but I do have steel brush beard hair, and it cut it off without any issue, something that my older Braun would have had difficulty with and taken much longer. This is going to sound like hyperbole, and perhaps it is, but if I had to buy one of these shavers once a year in order to keep using it, I would. I like it that much.

Absolutely love this!

This is the best Shaver I have use so far, like with everthing else, you get what you pay for. Very sturdy, well built. Gives the close shave of A razor blade, but without the irritation. Leaves skin feeling smooth and comfortable. If you are looking to replace your razor blade, this will definitely do the job, pays for itself overtime, not like those cheap ones that's all hype, and don't do the job. If you are looking to save, you can try a earlier model, but it's a very great product, you will not be disappointed if you invest in it.

Long-Term Use Review I've been using this shaver for 2 years, so you can trust this is based on extensive experience. Here's my detailed breakdown: 1. Build Quality: Being a German brand, the shaver is made with high-quality materials, which you can feel immediately when you hold it. 2. Shaving Performance: Unfortunately, this is where things go downhill. It doesn't shave efficiently—you need to go over the same area multiple times to clean it up, and even then, it pulls on facial hair constantly. This is incredibly painful and something I never experienced with my previous Braun Series 7 shaver. This issue happens every single time I use it, making the experience very unpleasant. 3. Messiness: The shaver doesn’t contain the trimmed hair properly. Instead of keeping it inside the razor head, it scatters everywhere during use. If you’re already dressed for work, this can create a huge mess, so I recommend shaving before changing into your outfit. 4. Cleaning Unit: While I have the cleaning unit, the cartridges are absurdly expensive. The price tag makes it hard to justify their use, as it feels like a waste of money. 5. Comparison to Braun Series 7: I don’t see any improvement over the Braun Series 7. In fact, this model feels like a downgrade in every way. A few weeks ago, I finally replaced this shaver with the Panasonic Wet/Dry 5. I must say, the Panasonic is superior in every aspect—build quality, comfort, and most importantly, shaving performance. It’s a significant step up from any Braun product I’ve used. Conclusion: While this shaver is well-built, its shaving performance and usability issues make it hard to recommend. If you're considering an upgrade, I'd strongly suggest looking at the Panasonic Wet/Dry 5 instead.
