Product Reviews of Braun 8585 Activator Self-Cleaning Shaving System
Product Review: Braun 8585 shaver
Summary: 4 Stars
The self-cleaning feature is a bit of overkill but it works well. This unit is replacing an earlier Braun shaver that I have had for over eight years. Works even better. Charging/Cleaning station is a bit large and the blue "charged" light is very bright in the dark and has an annoying flicker once fully charged. Comes with a good travel case although it does not fit the cord which is needed to charge when on the road. Holds a pretty good charge, needed to charge it twice on a recent three week trip. Best electric shaver that I have used.Product Review: Braun Activator, a poor quality razor
Summary: 1 Stars
Have owned a Braun Activator razor for less than 1 year, and have gone through 3 foils that have torn during normal use. You simply cannot replace just the foil, but you have to buy the entire shaving block along with the foil which gets expensive. During use, this razor did not give a close shave as advertised. I spent twice as much time shaving with the Braun than I did with my old Norelco just to get a half way decent shave. Nicks and cuts were commonplace which I found amazing with an electric shaver! I wish I would have never purchased this product.
Lesson learned, I am running back to Norelco.

I love this shaver. I get a great shave quickly and comfortably. For my face, Braun has the best blade technology of anyone. I was very skeptical about the self-cleaning aspect and, in fact, it is the reason I give it a 4 instead of a 5. I like the idea but I don't like the cleaning fluid they provide. I have no idea what it is made of (smells like a petroleum product) and I'm not keen on the idea of putting anything on my skin that I wouldn't put inside my body. After all, our skin is our largest organ and it does absorb. I also don't like the idea of throwing those cleaning cartridges in a landfill over and over again. So, I've decided to create my own cleaning fluid using all natural, organic ingredients and just refill the original cartridge when needed. Overall, I am happy with the razor and highly recommend it.Product Review: Braun Shaver 8585

I bought this shaver less then 3 years ago and it just plain quit on me. Got hot during charging and motor wouldn't run at all. Took it to a recommended Braun repair person and he said the motor was burned out and not worth repairing. I paid over $150.00 for this junker and Braun gives no way to contact them on their WEB site. Have 2 much older (non-cleaning) Braun shavers and both work just fine. Repair person said this might have something to do with the wet cleaning used for this shaver....I wouldn't get another Braun like this if it was free.....Product Review: Braun electric shaver
Summary: 5 Stars
The razor is clearly the best I've ever experienced in terms of ease and closeness of shave. Only problem is that it is very difficult to find stores in my area that have a supply of the cleaning fluid.
