Best Electric Razor For Girls (2024 Update)

This was my first time using an electric shaver and I'm sorry I hadn't tried it sooner. Gone are the days of shaving cream. This method has proven effective and provides more precision than I anticipated. While I typically forgo the instructions and wing it, I did not find the device intuitive and referenced the manual for guidance. There is a learning curve, but once you get the hang of the process, it's easy to operate, alternate accessories and clean. I love that the set includes everything needed from an exfoliating glove for preparation to a brush for cleaning the appliance to a pouch to store the shaver and its accompaniments. Better yet, the results are amazing. I consistently walk away with a close shave in all areas, provided I use the correct attachments. The key is to apply pressure when in use. This scared me at the outset, likely residual trauma from disposable razors, but it's necessary for an optimal outcome. I consistently get through the process with no nicks and without skin irritation. The hair growth remained at bay for two weeks. Though, disclaimer, I am pale with light red hair so I have a wider margin for error than those with other coloring. The ability to use this whether wet or dry is also an advantage as it has been easy to incorporate in my routine. Other benefits are that it is comfortable to hold and has a long battery life, more than enough to complete the job. The only thing I would change is the inclusion of an adapter for the included charging cord.adadr89

It is a device that guarantees us a long working time on a single charge. As a result, we do not have to worry about the fact that our shaver will discharge before we manage to get rid of unnecessary hair. The unquestionable advantage of the device is that it can be used dry and wet. Using the Philips shaver is very simple and safe – the handle has an appropriate and handy shape, thanks to which we have a secure hold. An additional advantage are the accessories included in the set. You can shave your legs, armpits and bikini area with it. The device guarantees a long-lasting effect. The big advantage of the model is that it is wireless, which makes it much easier to maneuver it and allows you to use this model in the shower. This convenience will save you a lot of time. The device can be washed under running water, making it easier to keep clean. Another advantage of the model is a special comb attachment. It is used not only for trimming, but also for modeling hair. BENEFITS: +Wet and dry shaving +Cut-friendly tip +Pretty design with pink accents +Comfortable shape to hold in your hand +Low charge alert Try this shaver and like me you will love it from the first time you use it.Issabela

Nothing worse than a company praying you don’t read the smaller text. I was unfortunate enough to buy in store to find out that the 100% waterproof is only for cleaning. Very annoying- but maybe passable if its use was good? Absolutely not. Took forever to get anything off my face which a normal razor could have done 3 times over in the time I tried to use this- and my face still isn’t properly shaven. I’d get a refund but I didn’t realize how truly bad this product would be Stick to shaving normally if possible or buy a better razor thats TRULY WATERPROOF if thats what you’re looking forCyrus

This is my first experience with a Braun razor. I wear a beard, but still need to keep my neck & cheeks nice and neat. I shaved with a hand razor for years, it was fine. I was interested in a foil razor, but wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep my definition lines on my face without destroying them. However, a friend of mine who also sports a beard has used a Braun for years, no issues. For the price I paid for this razor, I thought I'd try. Not sure why this little razor isn't getting more love, maybe people just don't know how to shave. It works darn good. I can shave closer & faster than I can with a blade, no irritation, and it does not destroy my beard lines. I can't imagine how good your expensive models shave, this little guy works well. Only wish I could use with a cord, but that's not a deal breaker. Don't ignore this razor!mike6000

There was nothing at all to dislike about this product. I found it to be an amazing piece of machinery. You see I have Parkinson's disease. It eventually became impossible for me to use standard blade razor because I could not twist my wrist to the angles needed to save the contours of my face at the jawline on the sides of my face. This razor is lightweight definitely waterproof and easily glides over all the contours of my face with its pivoting blades. Or I also like to point out that it was easy for me to hold because of the texture of the outside casing of the razor itself you see I have no strength in my hands either. I promise that this razor gives just as close a shave as a standard triple Blade razor.Philip

Pros – Excellent razor. Closest shave I have ever had. Fast and easy shave due to excellent blades. Cons – Requires a bit of maintenance. You need to run the “cleaning program” every day (personally I do it every other day). Some water and a cleaning solution shoots up into the case and cleans the razor once activated (1 pack of solution is provided for one month – available on Amazon sold as a pack for a reasonable price). This seemed like a bit of a pain at first, especially changing the solution every month, but the razor looks brand new and is working like it was just out of box many months later, so I think it’s worth it. Note – the first ten minutes of the cleaning process are VERY NOISY. The last 60 or so of the drying process aren’t too bad. Don’t expect to clean this razor before you head off to work if your partner is within 25 yards. It’s like waking up to someone vacuuming your pillow.Kayak4

The Panasonic Arc 5 Wet/Dry Electric Shaver with Self-cleaning recharger is outstanding. I've used safety razors for years and decided to try and electric. The Panasonic was the best choice!! If you've been using blades it takes around a month for your face to adapt to an electric but after that time using the electric is great!! Especially with the Self-cleaning recharger. It keeps your razor clean and charged so you always get a great shave. Be sure you read all the instructions so you can get the most from your razor.Steve

I have been using this shaver for 2 years now primarily for bald head shaving. I have also found it very useful for neck shaving since I have a heard. The pop up trimmer is very sharp and precise. I use the pop up trimmer just above my top lip to straighten out my beard. This pop up trimmer is my go-to for precise trimmer when I need it as it is sharper than my other beard trimmers. This trimmer is very powerful, long battery life and my favourite part is the cleaning station. All you have to do after a shave is use a brush to remove the hair from the cutting blades, then drop it in the cleaning station and walk away… Excellent. I had a problem with the cleaning station and I was near the 2 year exchange warranty. I highly recommend contacting panasonic directly for this. I contacted best buy and they maintained it's only a 1 year warranty. It is NOT, it's definitely a 2 year warranty. They just shipped me a brand new replacement unit. Awesome!!Anonymous

I have always been leary of buying an electric razor. However, over the past few years the cost of razor blades has skyrocketed and the quality of shave has deteriorated just as fast. I was tired of paying for razors that gave you a lousy shave. I was in the military and I know what a close shave is supposed to feel like. I took the plunge and purchased this razor. This razor has worked really well. The quality and closeness of shave is equal to anything I could get from a disposable razor. It takes a couple of weeks for your face to get used to shaving with an electric razor. It has been almost a month since I purchased the razor and I no longer feel any irritation at all. It is very easy to clean and the charge lasts for weeks. I will not back to using high priced low quality razors. You get what you pay for and this razor is very high quality razor at a reasonable cost.Rodger

I have long used cartridge razors, but no more. I’ll preface this with I have sensitive skin and prone to ingrown hairs & razor bumps. I used this in both my face and legs, and it’s the smoothest, least irritated my skin has ever been. There are even some contours I could get smooth with a good cartridge razor that I was able to get with this. I used it ‘wet’ with a foaming shaving cream. I also exfoliated first. The result blew me away. We’ll worth the money.mime3rdbase

I have never been as disappointed with a product as I was with this one. After all the glowing reviews and even some ratings calling it the best electric shaver ever made I took the plunge and switched from my Norelco. I have used for two weeks and the shaves are abysmal. Even after going over the same area 3-4 times there is still stubble left. Shaving the neck is even worse. Going over every area of my neck from every conceivable angle and there is still substantial stubble left. The only good comment I can make is that it feels good in the hand. ReDisappointment

Works great! I'm older, and not a ton of body/leg hair – way easier and more convenient than shaving with a razor. The charging dock holds the shaver securely, so it doesn't knock over when it's bumped. The shaver holds a charge for a good length of time. It's lightweight and comfortable to hold. Overall, very satisfied, and would recommend to a friend.martha_lynch

I have been using this amazing razor. It trim and clear all skin hair. Best remover I ever purchased. I had different major I was struggling to shave my legs. After I use this product it consumes my time. Its quicker and much easier. Time saver.puru.s

It's the first time I am using a electric razor. I did a lot of research before buying this product. It's quite reasonable and does a good job at removing hand and underarms hair. If your hair growth is big and if your hair is thick then this won't be a good one. I tried using it on my legs and didn't do a good job. It could only remove those hair which were small. I used it about 3-4 times to remove 70% of my leg hair. You can't remove the finer hair and will have to use wax strips or use normal razor. But it's perfect for hands and underarms and even little bikini hair removal. The battery life is fantastic and can be used on both dry and wet skin.shreya.g

i liked the design and the concept of the trimmer… and I realized before i bought it that i would have to spend money before i found out if it was any good. But such is life, and it does look pretty nifty. Searching reviews wasn’t doing any good, nor were review videos off youtube. Every video and review online is sponsored by Philips, and they’ve cornered the market. Every “review” sounds like a infomertial. You just can’t get an honest opinion. So screw it- i just bought one with trepidation.

It’s been a year since then, and here’s my opinion for what it’s worth. The Philips OneBlade is JUNK! To begin with, i shave my face AND head and do so regularly. However, with three days growth, the blade wasn’t able to make it all the way through without being replaced- straight out the box.

The kicker? It has a 3 month shelf life before it won’t charge enough for a shave. That’s right, i’m on number four because they quit charging. All of them. Even now, i’m headed to court in a suit and tie, and half my face is shaved. the other half has a weeks growth from a holiday. I look like an idiot.

Try googling “OneBlade won’t Charge” and watch a new world open up before you. Thousands of people also have this issue, not to mention blade life when they cost a fortune.

don’t bother.John Bobbitt

Nothin beats an all in one face shaver when you don’t have to go back and forth between different styles of razor's. Philips Norelco OneBlade 360 Face has precise accuracy and gets a very close shave! I love how close it gets without having to use a straight razor. The blade and head of the shaver runs close to the skin to catch the smallest hairs and leaves it baby soft. I was surprised at how well it did with only one pass and hands down will use this one for every shave. Phillips designed this product with shaving in mind and in my several uses, I have yet to see the normal cuts you would get with a regular razor. My favorite part is how the blades line up my beard so easily without frustration. The slim design is easy to see around and fits in a travel bag perfectly. The battery is long lasting and charges very quick. This took over the #1 spot in my shave routine and has been going strong for me without an issue. Phillips nailed this one!!!AudiDad88

First time I used Oneblade I was amazed. Still today I use it almost always over other 3 types of razor I have. Razor(5 blade), trim razor rechargeable, and electric 3 head rechargeable are the three. They all work fine but the Oneblade does the job so much better. This is one of those products that you hope the manufacture doesn't ever discontinue. It is like nothing I have tried before, until you try you will not understand. I know I should tell you how smooth it is, how close it cuts, how it never cuts you, and it is amazing ability to get those curved areas of the face as easy as anything. If you purchase it and you do not like it I give, well it is not my product. But the faith in it is that strong you could put your promise on the product. Price around $29 is the another reason you can come up with to cause any more delay. I will stop acting silly, seriously a great product. This is from a proud owner of one since spring 2022.Joey

Wonderful Addition To This Line. I Struggled For Years To Shave My Underarms. This Shaver Makes It So Easy To Do, Just The Right Angle.barb

I bought a $10 bikini trimmer at a bargain store about a decade ago. It became my absolute favorite HG trimmer that never failed me. I could literally have my whole area done in 5 minutes, and felt smooth as a baby's bum. No pain or dealing with the horrible after-shaving itchies/ingrowns. Good times. It finally died and since then, I've bought countless trimmers from cheap to expensive hoping to find one that matched up to that cheap trimmer but had no luck. I had such a bad experience with one that it nearly turned me off to these trimmers. It nicked and pulled hairs/skin and I became so scared to use it I just went to waxing which is not fun and a monthly expense I didn't want to afford. Finally took a chance on this one despite the mediocre reviews and I'm SO GLAD. this is it! If you're looking for something ten times better than shaving (no itching, ingrown hairs, etc) and something that is the next best thing to the smoothness of waxing, this is it. It's completely painless, you can apply a lot of pressure to really get the hairs at the base and it will never pull hair or nick skin. You can get into the hard-to-reach areas with ease. The hair also grows back thinner for whatever reason. It's truly magical and that's why I'm here writing a ridiculously long review on how life-changing it is. You're welcome 🙂Bree

I always use had usedPhilips bikini line (pink one).. target did not have it so I got this. DOES NOT WORK- what is the use of a cute little light if it can not shave the hair it shows you??! And I use for just a few random face hairs not even bikini line!!Me

Cost was just great on this purchase and the reason for purchasing two, one for myself and one for my son! I have experienced the single head of the Bliss for a while and when I saw the cost of the double head, thought I couldn't miss, plus I needed a birthday gift for him! The double head is much better and the recharging capability is absolutely fabulous! Saves switching batteries like I have had to do often on the single head. A shave is close, comfortable and relatively quick! Can't miss with this model. Thanks Walmart!Bill

I purchased this shaver 07/09/2022. i took it home and started charging it, I couldn't wait to try it out so I used it in cord mode. I have tried the Mach 5 and a Braun version. While the Mach 5 produces a good close shave, it takes me 20 to 30 minutes of shaving to achieve that. Plus I have to use a lubricant while shaving to achieve the best shave. I used this new Babyliss shaver with no lubricant on my head and it literally took less than 3 minutes and it's the best shave I've had. it's nice and rugged metal, all others I have used have been plastic. It has definitely been the cheapest shaver I have tried. I was skeptical from reading some of the reviews, I do have more of a coarse hair which one of the reviews mentions getting results from. If you have coarse hair and want a great shave, I totally recommend this shaver! I'm not saying it won't do fine hair, I am just not a good test for that.Chris M.

Received this for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. First of all the box for this one looks so nice! Packaging was down really well and with care. This is my first time I try an electronic shaver my self. First off love the gold color on it mm it was pretty smooth easy to use honestly. I didn’t shaved for a few days cause I wanted to get the full effect of this product and it work really well. Highly recommend now I see why barbers really use these. They are smooth and no pain what so ever!jose.c

I just love this Smooth & Silky Body & Bikini personal grooming kit. The kit comes with a nice bag for easy storage and for travel purpose. It came with a battery so that I was able to use it right out of the box. Instructions were clear and easy to follow as well. Since its battery operated and water or splash proof it’s great to use in the shower for quick and easy cleanup. I used it for a quick clean up on my bikini area. It didn’t leave any razor burns and for me that is definitely a plus. It comes with a leveled trimmer for those that don’t want such a close shave. It also has a rotating exfoliating head for the skin, which is really nice. I use the spin brush to pre exfoliate the area, then the regular head to trim up. I highly recommend this grooming kit.rsmth

This is small but handy battery operated razor. It is that time of year to make sure your bikini area is ready for a bathing suit! This Remington Smooth & Silky Bikini grooming kit is compact enough for travel to take everywhere you go. I love that it comes with different attachment heads, for whatever you need! Although, the foil shaver attachment did not really work out for me, so I stopped using it. The exfoliating head is wonderful, it helps with reducing those pesky ingrown hairs. This kit is a life saver for those with sensitive skin. Overall, the kit offers ease of use and can be used wet or dry! This product works for me!shereveals

I was so excited for the smooth and silky body and bikini grooming kit. I had really high hopes for it. It is the perfect size, not to large, but not too small. It comes with a little carrying bag which is perfect for traveling. I love that it is battery operated and can be used wet or dry. I tried it both ways and unfortunately it did not work well for me. I used the foil shaver first and it did not remove any of my hair, I then used the bikini and body trimmer head. It left lines down my legs but did not remove any of my hair. I think that unless you have long hairs it will not cut them. My husband has a very hairy chest so I tested each head on him. The only head that works was the bikini and body trimmer, it took his hairs down to stubble, but not a smooth shave. I am very disappointed in this razor. I really wanted to live it, but it just didn't cut any hair.Slopez330

This is a great, Great Razor!!! It must be charged for the night or a few hours when you first get it though. You don't need to leave it plugged in though. Once it has been charged fully, you will have several days worth of power. It is very quiet, it gives a really close shave and it is really smooth on the face. In addition, it is very simple to clean. You can removed the guard and it reveals the blades of the razor. You just run some water over the blades and it removes the hair clippings.bj987keller

The Good: Great feel, grip, shave, ease of cleaning, quick charge time, trimmer is handy for sideburns to shape them up between haircuts. The Bad: I have now gone through two of these in about 2 years….the first lasted about 18 mos, the second, about 5. Problem? For whatever reason, after awhile, it will not charge. I also use shaving cream when I get out of the shower and use the razor, rinse it before, during and after use….and always and I mean always, after the period of time, you get up, plug it in, go in the shower, come out, dead. It won't charge. My guess? The Lithium Ion Batts. While ALL batteries have a lifespan, they should be much longer thant this. I rinse the head during shaving (shaving cream buildup and hair) 2-3 times while shaving paying attention to let the water drain down 90-95%….I don't think it's water intrusion….as deep as this thing goes is running it under the faucet head down? I used both the old and new charger….the new one shows all power lights on for about 2-3 seconds, goes dim, dead……there is something about these batteries that are not right….I am off to Walmart this mornign to get a 3rd in less than 3 years THIS time WITH the cheap warranty…..I have used Brauns for over 30 years and the batteries always seem to be the issue…do NOT pack them in luggage that will go in the cargo hold or you will find them dead, not chargeable when you get to your destination…this one is ONLY used at home. I take a cheap corded Braun on the road and it's about 20 years old now, still works but it's a dry shave…irritating…….I like the ability to use shaving cream for a much more comfortable shave but, this battery thing is aggravating…..over the 30 years I have gone through multiple 3, 5, 7 and 9 series razors…they ALL have battery failures eventually…so you end up buying a new one…..why? Because the other brands suck MORE. I have had Remington, Norelco (couldn't shave close with a gun to it's head), Chinese knockoffs even a small cordless from Harbor Freight that despite is size and slow speed delivered a great shave until it quit working…..it seems that if a rechargeable battery is run for 20 mins a day max, 6-7 days a week, it SHOULD last more than 6 months….never dropped, never abused, always left open on the counter after rinsing to let the head and razor dry after separated….still died….ridiculous…..I only hope the warranty is worth something when the next one croaks….no warning either….just dies…..still the best brand overall….Terry

I've never really liked wet dry shavers but this one changed my mind. it shaves flawless and leaves you face as smooth as using a traditional razor. i love that it's wireless and it charges very quickly and stays charged for a great amount of time. and cleaning is a breeze with the included brush and removable heads. you can also remove the head and run it under water for a deep clean. all around this is and excellent shaver.James

I bought this after reading some great reviews but sadly have not had the same experience as most. The cord no longer charges the trimmer and it doesn't hold a charge or have enough power to keep the trimmer going. As well, the attachments that came with it don't work on hair and to use the trimmer alone it rips or hair and misses a lot. I would not buy again.melissa.b

This product is pretty solid! I love using this to avoid those stubborn ingrown hairs you can get from shaving. One thing that could be improved upon though is battery life. I had one that lasted for years, but the last few I have bought, only lasted for a few months. Will keep buying, just hoping they won’t die as fast!julie.f

I absolutely love this product. I’ve had it for years-and it’s lasted years as long as you replace the batteries. It comes with different plastic attachments (at least mine did) to control your trim. Plus it’s water proof, so it’s great in the shower or bath shaving your legs or underarms. Highly recommend. A great investment. The blade part costs some $$$ but again-a great investment.mandy.r

I picked this trimmer up as a precision edging trimmer because my current beard trimmer is not precise enough to trim up the lines around the edges of my facial hair and side burns. This trimmer performed excellently in getting very precise lines and is a good addition to the arsenal. It comes with a single, adjustable trim guide for trimming large sections of facial hair. It’s easy to use, has 5 settings, and gets a nice uniform thickness of facial hair. It makes quick work of the shaving process and is enjoyable to use. I’m happy got this and recommend it to anyone that maintains and trims facial hair.Eltrain123

So far I am happy with this razor. It trims, edges and shaves very well. No nicking, pulling or snagging either. It has a 360 blade so it pivots to any direction you need it to. It is waterproof so you can use it wet or dry. Although I find it always better to shave wet. It also comes with a length setting comb so you can achieve that perfect length all over. Charging is fast and once charged it last a good while on just that one charge. More than enough time to get several shaves, trimmings etc in. Overall I am very pleased with this razor, it works great and I am looking forward to using it much more!bowens

Nothin beats an all in one face shaver when you don’t have to go back and forth between different styles of razor's.

So I will start by saying this this set is super cute! It's not matte though it appears to be in the pics (to me at least) but still very cute. I bought this specifically for the foil shaver, for my mustache and unfortunately it really doesn't do anything though it says it leaves you smooth. After shaving basically my whole face, there was merely a dusting of hairs in the chamber and I was disappointed, however the a precision detailer head for eyebrow and facial hair trimming redeemed the set, this little sucker is AMAZING, it shaved off hair I didn't even know I had! Literally tufts of basically white hair was falling off my whole face, it was kind of awesome and my stache is definitely gone. I also used it on my arms, just to see, and it worked great there too. I used the eyebrow trimmer guide to trim my brows and it was fine, I used the long, just to be safe and that was enough for me. I tried the larger head on my bikini line and it worked fine as well, the precision trimmer head would work better though. All in all it was pretty decent but I will likely only be using the smaller head.Ange

I bought this model online during the Black Friday sales in November 2021. It was to replace my older model Series 7 which has been a fantastic shaver. Please be aware that the newer generation Series 7 like this one uses a separate precision trimmer head that is not built into the shaver. The precision trimmer is not included in this particular retail kit. And you cannot buy it separately in Australia unless you opt to purchase an entire beard trimming and manscaping kit. I don't have a beard. And I'm not into manscaping. So this shaver is incredibly useless in its current state. Normally I would not have made this error of judgement because I would have purchased in-store after inspecting it. But in-store purchase wasn't possible during COVID-19 lockdown. Shaver Shop referred me to Braun, who referred me to their spare parts distributor who was actually very helpful, but it seems I've bought a dud. I can't rate the product because I've frankly only used it once.Philby

I'll start by saying a lot of the reviews I've seen here have been discussing the fact that instructions aren't included and comments about the fact there is no heater/dryer in the base. First off there is literally only 1 button on the shaver and 1 button on the base (outside of the base ejection button for swapping the cleaning juice). If you struggle with this shaver then there are likely bigger problems in your life. This is very simple shaver that seriously needs no instructions. As for the base always launching the cleaning cycle when you only want to charge the shaver… the shaver battery lasts over an hour. My shaves take approximately 5 minutes. That means I could shave, without the need for charging, or cleaning the shaver 12 times. If after 12 shaves you still don't want to clean the shaver then I don't know what to tell you other than you might want to consider evaluating your hygiene habits. Also, the cleaning solution/juice if not used will evaporate, so you might as well use it. I run the cycle after about 3-4 shaves and the next day it's dry and ready to go. Now for the real review… I previously owned a 5 series Braun many years back and more recently owned a 9 series Braun about 3 years ago. I also have owned/tried Remington, Philips, Manscape, and Wahl shavers in the last 3 years so I have a lot of experience and by far this is better than every shaver I have tried, including the 9 series and I'll explain why. First off, my 9 series broke about 3 years ago only 4 months after purchasing it. The trimmer failed to run; the rest of the shaver still functioned. Anyway, I dealt with the customer service and found it lacking. I mailed the shaver off and after calls asking the status, they told me to be patient. 2 months later I moved, lost my USPS tracking receipt, and finally the Braun customer service acknowledged they didn't have the shaver and asking for shipping confirmation. I no longer had the receipt so I couldn't prove I mailed it. $300 down the drain. So, for the next few years I avoided Braun products. I tried many others and finally gave up and settled with disposable shavers. I seen this sale after all this time and decided to try this shaver/Braun again. The motor on this shaver is louder and more powerful than the 9 series I remember. The attachments are easy to swap and use. I found the lack of an in-built trimmer a little frustrating as it takes a bit of time to swap heads. A small sacrifice as the trimmer itself is leaps and bounds stronger than the 9 series in-built shaver and far easier and more precise to use. Now onto a more sensitive topic, trimming of more delicate parts of the body. My god, this shaver has blown me away and establishes its true value here. The included beard/stubble trimmer attachment, normally meant for beards, has been a godsend for that area and blows Manscape products out the water. Honestly Manscape products are far overrated, and I found before this shaver, a Wahl cordless shaver with the correct guide to be much better. The Stubble and Beard trimmer was better than every product I've ever tried, and I can easily say with confidence that there is absolutely nothing better. This was the first shave I ever had that didn't tear me to shreds and cause excessive bleeding there. The shave is also faster as the newfound confidence allows me to shave without worry of nicks. While I will say it did nick once, the nick was barely noticeable or felt and didn't bleed. A serious gamechanger. The included guides that were notches of 1, 2, or 3 were additions nice but a close trim is possible without worry with guide 1. Seriously, this attachment should be marketed completely differently as it's outstanding. I'm speaking again of the Beard and Stubble Trimmer with 2 notch 1 guides, not the Precision Trimmer attachment as I would be far too scared to use that attachment down there. Also, while the Beard and Stubble trimmer is attached you can still run the cleaning cycle when the shaver is inserted into the base! Honestly that was an amazing discovery as the ability of having that attachment cleaned by the base, especially after shaving in that area, was a huge win for hygiene. On to the real purpose of this shaver, your face… It does a great and thorough job but requires many passes. This shaver shines in giving this quality shave without pulling or nicks. It rivals disposable shaver shaves without the irritation. The requirement of some extra passes is worth it. The 9 series did provide a faster shave as it required fewer passes of the same area, but it did not provide a better shave. The difference being the 9 series is almost 2 – 2.5x as expensive and has a far worse trimmer, no beard and stubble trimmer which again shines where you would least expect it to and had suspect reliability. I have given this product 4 stars as the customer service, if you ever need it, is lacking and I’ll likely always have a chip on my shoulder towards Braun for simply makingAlan

I recently bought this machine and this is the first machine I've had with an associated charging/cleaning station. I have previously used Braun shavers for years, but these were not cleaned in this way. Then I wonder about this: The machine was delivered with 1 pc. Braun Clean & Renew, and according to the manual, the machine must be cleaned after each use. Then the contents of the cleaning station will last for approx. 30 days. If I don't clean every day the contents will evaporate within 8 weeks. This kind of fabric is very expensive to buy new, and I wonder if this type of cleaning is necessary. Online, it is also possible to buy a type of powder which, however, must be mixed with some type of ethanol. Then the price will be a fraction of the price for new containers. However, I have managed without such cleaning since I started with Braun shavers 50 years ago. However, according to the manual, I do not need to clean the machine in this way, but only rinse it clean under running water. What do I risk by maintaining the machine without using the cleaning station. Will it then have a limited lifespan? Will the machine have a longer life if I use a cleaning spray and shower my head after each cleaning under water?Ivar
