" ... I've used a Braun model 8585 for years, replacing cutting parts as needed, and it always gave a pretty good shave until it didn't. ... I spend one-third the time and get a vastly better shave ... "
" ... The Braun does a closer shave on neck/face, picks up long hairs on stubble for bearded dude, without burning, nice charging and cleaning station. ... "
" ... This is the best electric razor I’ve ever used. ... "
" ... This - only my first foil shaver - is the most efficient and closest-shaving electric I've ever used. ... While no electric can shave as close as a multi-bladed razor, this is damn close. ... "
" ... This is the first electric razor i've owned so I can't compare it to any other but it gives a close shave and with no irritation for me. ... "
" ... I always used to shave manually. ... "
" ... First of all the shave is smooth and rarely cuts me. ... "
" ... Great shave, a little pricey but for my beard it's perfect. ... "

" ... Then I drop the shaver in the cleaning unit and turn on the cleaning function and walk away. ... "
" ... Easy to use, and easy to clean. ... "
" ... All three models come with cleaning stations. ... Looking back, I may have bought the Braun 7 without the cleaning station as it is mostly for travel, although I think even this way I would be happy to come back from a business trip and just throw it to the cleaning station rather than starting to take it apart. ... All 3 cleaning stations seem to be working similarly well, although in different approaches. ... "
" ... So cool that it self-cleans! ... "
" ... And the cleaning apparatus is pretty amazing, too. ... "
" ... The Clean and Renew Station that’s included is also amazing! ... "
" ... I brush it out every day and run it through its automatic cleaning cycle 1-2 times a week. ... "
" ... And to top off a great shaver, it comes with a cleaning station. ... "

" ... My hair is relatively thick and by turning up the settings on the Braun shaver, I was able to get all of the pesky hairs off with ease. ... "
" ... 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. ... "
" ... I will say, however, don't push too hard or you might get ingrown hairs. ... "
" ... It's good for getting small areas, but takes a bit more time if you have a thick beard. ... "
" ... Bought this for my boyfriend, he has very sensitive skin and has found that this razor helps immensely. ... "
" ... It really does get the hairs which tend to lay flat beneath my chin and jaw. ... "
" ... I decided to try a foil razor. ... I can't speak for everyone because everyone's beard is different but as for me, this Braun is A NUMBER 1! ... Sure wish I had tried a foil razor sooner. ... "
" ... I have skin that is too sensitive for mid-grade rotary style electric razors. ... "

" ... Very quick and eliminated my acne problem because I have sensitive skin. ... "
" ... I like most that it handles my neck. ... It feels well made. ... "
" ... 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. ... "
" ... Norelco: Pluses: This shaver is the most comfortable of the three, a clear 10 on my scale. ... Even in the usually sensitive areas around my neck, jawline and lips, Norelco glides. ... Ergonomically the Norelco is also superior, designed to fit comfortably and securely in hand. ... Similarly, the shaver's gyroscopic floating head rates it a 9 on my comfort scale. ... Overall, I rate this shaver an 8, because it's a 10 for closeness and comfort. ... "
" ... It saves really close with absolutely no irritation ... "
" ... Can’t believe I’ve been using Gillette & foam for so many years. ... Skin actually seems to be healing up some sine I started using this. ... "
" ... Tried the Norelco because the rotor head sounded good. ... This Braun 7865 cc is smaller, lighter and easier to handle than the upper end Panasonic with 3 foils. ... "
" ... I find this shaver to be more comfortable and easier to manage. ... "

" ... 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. ... "
" ... It is compact (which also makes it better for travel), and it feels more solid (probably because of the size/weight ratio). ... "

" ... 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. ... "
