Product Review: As good as I've found
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried 5 or 6 different electric shavers and none of them has done much of anything for me. This one is different. It actually works. A bit on the expensive side, but it's worth it.Product Review: As promised.

Product Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
This shaver was a Father's Day gift for my husband. He absolutely loves it! He said it is the best shaver he has ever used. It leaves his face very smooth and it causes no irritation to the skin. And he loves the ease of the daily cleaning.Product Review: B+
Summary: 4 Stars
In my opinion, it's good but could be better. It has some trouble shaving the neck completely, and sometimes you can still feel the stubble. But on the whole, it's most definitely a good buy. Especially since it is self-cleaning and charging.Product Review: BRAUN, YOU FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been buying electric razors for years, and have had everything from the worst, a scary Remington, to nice Norelco's and most recently the Braun 8595. I have had my new 8995 now for about 5 shaves, and I am absolutely sold on this product.
Previous Braun's including the 8595 always gave a nice shave, but it was never consistent. Namely the neck hairs would always be a problem spot for the other razors. This razor trims the neck hairs EFFORTLESSLY. No pushing harder, no making multiple passes until my skin is red, just a clean, quick, and VERY CLOSE shave.
This razor just feels right, from the better grips on the body of the razor, to the powerful motor, it is clearly not a second plaze razor. The clean and renew system works as before, no changes changes there. I like it just the same, and it sure beats cleaning your razor manually.
In the box comes the razor, a cheesy plastic travel case (if you had the 8595 it's the same one...) A brush to clean the razor, also a plastic cover for the blades to put on it when travelling. Also it comes with a power cord that is used for the razor when travelling or directly plugging into the clean and renew base stand which is also included. They give you 1 clean and renew cartridge. The directions were easy, and the operation of the razor is straightforward.
I guess you could say I am now a fan of Braun for life!!
This razor really is this good.
Now before you think I am an employee of Braun, I'll tell you the one thing that concerns me. Like the previous 8595 model, this unit has the same plastic back on the back of the unit. (It looks like aluminum but it is just coated plastic of course like everything else these days.) Anyways, the problem is that the plastic near the top of the razor body, beneath the swivel head begins to deteriorate with time due to the alcohol solution in the clean and renew base.
In fact my 8595 is getting warranty repair for this very same defect and I am planning on the 8995 needing the same repair so I am making sure to save my receipt. That alone is just cosmetic and perhaps Braun loses some points for durability here, but it does not and cannot effect the operation of the shave. Did I mention the shave is the best ever?
I hope you enjoy the razor if you buy this model. I truly believe you would be hard pressed to be dissapointed.
