Product Reviews of Braun Series 5 (8995) Men's Shaver
Product Review: Best Shaver got Better
Summary: 5 Stars
Newest Braun just got better. Been using them for years and will continue.Product Review: Best electric Shaver I have used
Summary: 5 Stars
The is the best, closest shaver I have used. I used a Philips Norelco Arcitec 1060 for 10 months before buying the Braun. The Arcitec shaver stopped working after 10 months & I was able to return it to Costco & pick up the Braun.
I have a medium beard growth, so I shave just before going to bed at night. I thought the Philips Norelco was good before getting the Braun. I have used this shaver for 2 months. It is just a great, super close shaver. And fast too.
I was a little worried about the expense of cleaning solution. After doing some research online, I found others who suggested only using the cleaner every 3-4 days. Others have suggested cleaning every 7-10 days. The other days, you clean by following the Braun instructions for cleaning when you don't have the shaver base with you: pop the head off, tap it out & run the shaver for a few seconds with the head off to shake debris off. You can stretch the cleaner to last a couple of months.
Key Hint:
Do not wash or wet your face before shaving. If you do you will not get a close shave.
Product Review: Best electric razor I have used
Summary: 5 Stars
The razor is great. Nice close shave without pulling. Cleaning is a little noisy and takes awhile. I have found that cleaning once a week is satisfactory.Product Review: Best electric shave I've had
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had many electric shavers, and this is by far the overall best. I sometimes go without shaving over the weekend, and other shavers had great trouble with several days growth of my beard. This Braun combines a different cutter in the middle that is able to take care of the longer growth, so no need to extend a the trimmer for missed beard growth on Mondays. Cleaning process appears to be more effective than other self-cleaning shaver kits, plus the cleaner doesn't give me a rash like the supposedly hypoallergenic solution of one of my previous electric shavers. Running time is great, but the trade-off is a slightly larger shaver than I'm used to. For me, it's a good trade-off though, as the shaver is easy to hold. I will say it's not the closest electric shave I've had, but it's close too it. It's expensive for an electric shaver, but for me, it was a great buy.Product Review: Best of the lot
Summary: 5 Stars
A local TV station did a test of all men's electric razors, Braun, Panasonic, Norelco, etc., and the panel rated this 360 shaver as the best of all for closest most comfortable shave. The test lasted 3 weeks and was judged as producing the closest shave, and comfortable.
