" ... still takes me a while to get everything but I get a close shave at the end of it. ... "
" ... When time for a new razor I wanted to find newest and best Braun model available. ... "
" ... Past electric razors have included various Norelco models and a Braun series 3 and 5. ... "
" ... I've been using Philips-Norelco for decades and thought I was getting the closest possible shave. ... And this product shaves me as close as a safety razor. ... And I shave my face AND my head and it does a fabulous job for both. ... "
" ... Shaves very close with no irritation. ... "
" ... Best razor I've used in a long time ... "
" ... I shaved myself and my Brother and it only took 15 minutes and completely Smooth, WoW!!!! ... "
" ... Gives a quick smooth shave with not pulling. ... "

" ... I really like the cleaning station . ... "
" ... I love the cleaning base. ... "
" ... The cleaning system is, as always. ... "
" ... Sure glad I got the one with the cleaning station. ... "
" ... As for cleaning simply put it in the cleaning solution and it does its thing like brand new. ... "
" ... Popping out the cover to clean out the shavings is easy, although needs to be done quite often. ... "

" ... I've been using electric shavers for over 15 years and foil shavers for close to 10. ... The smaller head is much better if you have facial hair that you want to shave around - you can be much more precise. ... The Braun also seems to handle longer stray hairs much better. ... If you look at the center blades - the ones that would cut the longer hairs - I think you can see why. ... "
" ... It really does get the hairs which tend to lay flat beneath my chin and jaw. ... "
" ... I've got twisty facial hair which goes off in all directions and have never gotten all the hair except with a blade . ... This is certainly a step up in performance except for the trimmer. ... This model has the trimmer on the front side where I cannot see what I'm doing. ... "
" ... Have only been using it for about a month, but it cuts much closer and much faster. ... "
" ... I will say that this 7000 series has more settings for type of beard and a closer shave but otherwise is pretty identical to past units. ... "
" ... It is almost silent and cuts quickly. ... "
" ... I was skeptical that it wouldn’t cut close or if it did it would cause irritation. ... "
" ... My husband has a tough beard and this shaver is the best that he has ever used. ... He especially loves the small pop up part that will snip off those nuisance hairs on the neck area, getting between the fold of skin. ... "

" ... It is solid and comfortable to hold and use. ... "
" ... It saves really close with absolutely no irritation ... "
" ... It comes with a extendable small shaver which is useful for the few areas the main head cant get to. ... "
" ... Other than those two things, it's pretty solid and good on the skin. ... "
" ... Series 7 is a great shaver for my head. ... "
" ... Movable head very comfortable. ... "
" ... It is considerably more comfortable, especially on the neck just under the jawline, and it feels better built. ... If you have more sensitive skin, I definitely recommend it. ... "
" ... The foils on my old shaver(a popular name brand shaver) wear out in a short period when shaving my head. ... "

" ... Ordered this Series 7 because my last one was great and lasted 15+ years. ... "
" ... I have been a Braun fan for about 5 years now. ... Now that I have had my series 7 for a few months and it is even better than the series 3. ... "
" ... Now I'm wondering how the Series 9 will do being the Series 7 has been out on market for years. ... "
" ... Roughly 20 years ago I tried buying a shaver and was very distressed by the rash I got. ... "
" ... Been using for 3 months . ... I have had no issues . ... Also has worked with 3 days of growth. ... "
" ... I bought this Razor 19 months ago. ... "

" ... As a topper, the battery life is incredible. ... "

" ... Battery lasts quite a while as well (have taken in on trips out of town and it never needed to be recharged. ... "

" ... The little travel case that comes with it is convenient for taking it places. ... "

" ... It is considerably more comfortable, especially on the neck just under the jawline, and it feels better built. ... "
" ... It doesn't feel as sturdy as my last series Braun, but I don't plan on dropping it or traveling without it being in a case. ... Can't blame a product for your body. ... "

" ... First head lasted less than 4 months and started to fall apart on all 4 corners. ... "
" ... I have relatively large hands and this feels bulky to me. ... I'm not sure why, perhaps it's to fit into tight spaces, but it's not an advantage for me. ... "
" ... The problem with the series 9 is the cutter head continually breaks and at $50.00+ can get expensive. ... "
" ... Only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't capture most of the hairs inside the head, they just fall down on your chest/shirt. ... "
" ... My husband Used this ONE time and a piece already broke off and will not attach back on. ... "
