 Great product September 24, 2008
Great product! The intuitive cleaning sensor aids in appropriate cleaning of the razor for the "dirtiness" of the blades and foil. This aids in conservation of the cleaning fluid. The razor works well and shaves close, closer than prior models IMHO.
 The Highly Over Rated Braun September 22, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have one of these Braun 8985 systems and it is absolutely the worst shaver I have owned, way behind a Remington and a Norelco. The active foil doesn't extend to the end of the head instead there is more than a quarter of an inch of gap to the end of the head. Consequently it will not shave up close to the ears around the jaw line. This shaver continually misses hair and requires me to "Scrub" my face with it to do a ho-hum job or resort to a blade for best results. I had a Wahl shaver before I got this one and it does a first class job the first time and only cost me a little more than 10% of what I spent for this beast. When I'm not particular how I look, I use the Braun, but if I want a good close comfortable shave I reach for my Wahl. I certainly don't want their newer model. When this Braun thing goes toes up I'm going back to my Wahl, sorry I left.
 great shaver with unnecessary gimmicks September 17, 2008
I've been using this shaver for a month now and downgrade it from 5 stars to 4 just because of lack of value. Previously I used the Braun Synchro for several years and was happy with it. This new shaver is fundamentally the same, except that it is dramatically more expensive and has a bulky cleaning base that is of dubious value. If you can find the model 8975 at a better price than the 8995 then I'd recommend to go for that one. This shaver is still quiet, has a long charge life, and perhaps does a slightly better job on necks hairs than my old shaver. It's definitely quieter and gets the job done faster than my previous Remington.
Another winner from Braun September 14, 2008
This is the fourth Braun shaver I've used, beginning with one bought in Germany 30 years ago, and each has been better than the last.
The shave is closer and quicker than the earlier models, and the self-clean mechanism is a real convenience.
Highly recommended, and the price was the best I found.
Great product/but wieghty September 13, 2008
This review is for the Braun shaver. The shaver itself is excellent and does everything and more that it advertises that it will do. Unfortunately it is heavier than most other electric shavers. My husband is paralyzed and it takes more energy for him to try and hold the shaver upright for the time it takes him to shave. Hence he does not use it every day but alternates with his old electric shaver that is lighter.
I would highly recommend this product to any man that wants a good shave.
The cleaning and recharging process could not be easier.
