Customer Reviews of Braun 7000 Series Syncro Pro / Syncro Replacement Combo
Customer Review: I Really Like This System
Summary: 5 Stars
I have shaved with a blade for many years and about four years ago it began to really irritate my skin. Bought a Remington and was not really happy with it, but it was acceptable. When that razor crashed and burned, big time, I got smart and researched electric razors eventually settling on the Braun 7680 which uses this 7000 replacement foil & cutter. For me the shave is great. While I do seem to make more passes over my face than with the Remington, the shave is closer. As another reviewer has said, a blade will give a closer shave, but I am extremely happy with this system. The shaves are close, the battery last significantly longer than the Remington's did, and even given the evidence here, the foils last longer than the Remington's and are less expensive. Of course the cleaning cartridge is an additional cost, but I am certainly happy with its results.
Customer Review: best system, but change regularly
Summary: 4 Stars
Never let it be said that electric shaving saves you money.
But, as one that can't really be bothered wet shaving, plus when I do I cut myself to shreds, I have to say this is the best system I've owned and it's worth swapping the foil way more often than the 18 months mentioned in the manual; I tend to only go 3-6 months before swapping and I can really notice the difference.
The other way I generally extend the life of these foils is, if like me you don't shave over the weekend, when Monday morning comes, use the clippers on the shaver to cut your growth down to a stubble and then shave; I find this gives a better cut and a cleaner shave after that.
So - a good product but could be tougher (it should last longer than 6 months) and could be less expensive.
Happy shopping

Customer Review: Neat shaver, but foil and cutter don't last as advertised
Summary: 2 Stars
I like the Braun Synchro shaver because it cleans itself and is cordless, etc. However, I am a bit disappointed with the cost of replacement cleaning fluid and replacement foil/cutter. I am now replacing the foil and cutter because the foil has developed large holes, even though I clean regularly as instructed per the manufacturer. Also, I do not get as close of a shave with the Braun Synchro as I do with a cheap, disposable razor and shaving cream.
Update 6/19/2005:
I switched over to a Norelco Specrta 8895XL one year ago. I am still using the original cutter heads, and it has been a breeze to periodically clean with just running water. Also, the battery lasts over a month between charges. I am quite happy to no longer be replacing the cutterhead (and cleaning solution) so often, as I needed to with the Braun.
Customer Review: BRAUN 7000FC Syncro 7000 Foil - Cutter Combination
Summary: 3 Stars
The foil on my old cutting block developed a hole, so I purchased this replacement part to extend the life of my shaver. This is more or less what I was able to do.
After installing the new parts and shaving, I did notice a general improvement of the shave quality. But this only lasted for the first 10 or so shavings and pretty much degraded to what I had become accustomed to in the past with my old foil/cutter block. (I have a Braun auto-cleaning unit as well, so the equipment was being properly maintained). There isn't any reason to complain if you like the usual shave with your Braun shaver. Just keep in mind that this product won't radically change your shaving experience. To be honest, this part is only really needed if your current part is broken (as opposed to just dull).
Customer Review: Best shave
Summary: 5 Stars
Braun 7000 Series Syncro Pro / Syncro Replacement ComboRazor and blades are top notch. I alternate between a regular double edge (gave up on cartridge blades - to expensive and don't work as well as DE) and the Braun electric. The Braun is the best. I have tried Norelco and Panasonic and there is no comparison.I have a thick beard but with the talc pre shave, the Braun makes quick work of it. The cost is high for replacements but not as high as for Norelco or the cartridge blades which seem to be going out the ceiling, even at Costco's bulk price. It is worth the investment for the comfort and efficiency. Tip - shave with an electric before you shower in the morning.
