Customer Reviews of Braun Activator 8585 Solo Shaver, Refurbished
Customer Review: No cleaning station, no problem
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's the deal both figuratively and literally. This is by far the best electric shaver ever made. I have been using electrics my entire life and there has never been one better. The price is high and it's worth it. It is 10 times the shaver a remington, panasonic, norelco or even previous generation braun have ever been. Read the reviews everywhere, you'll see this is the consensus. I bought this one (the solo) without the cleaning station. Without the station this is still the best shaver available. The station is available seperately on a very popular auction site for about $40, so you will have the option. You can save about $50 buying this way and still have the 2 year warranty and the station. I have had this shaver a month now and just clean it manually after every shave. It's great. If you need the best and don't want to spend a lot, this is the one.Customer Review: good razor, but
Summary: 3 Stars
sure this is a good deal and all.....but u dont get the renew and clean charger thing. I guess if all you want is the shaver, then this is for u, but you cant buy the stand alone charger anywhere and thats just disappointing. The razor itself is in new condition and I cant find a thing wrong with it.....just a little mad that it didnt come with the set. I guess I should have read everything. Customer Review: Best foil shaver, solo is better
Summary: 5 Stars
There are two main types of shaver, foil and rotary. This is the best foil shaver. Foil shavers are often better then rotary shavers for shaving the beard and moustache area of the face, which is where almost everyone uses them and it is what they are designed for.
But if you need a shaver to shave your body, or a curved area like a head or kneecap, then rotary is much better. Foil shavers will pass right over longer softer body hairs without doing a thing to them, whereas a rotary will remove that hair. But any loose skin will need to be stretched to avoid nicks.
This foil shaver gives a beard shave as well as any shaver ever made. It is superb. You do not need the accessory stand that cleans the shaver. Just spray alcohol on the blades and foil when you want to clean them. The cleaning station is a silly gimmick. Buy it solo and factory reconditioned on Amazon to save big.
One tip, no matter what type of shaver you use, do not press it into the skin. The lightest touch will shave you better than a hard press.
Summary: This is a truly excellent shaver.
Customer Review: 30 years of whiskers gone painlessly and no scarring.
Summary: 5 Stars
This Refurbished Braun shaver was flawless on arrival. No scratches, dings or dents. Item was exactly as described and all items were included and in perfect shape. The razar performs flawlessly and that is good for a guy who hasn't shaved in 30 years and had forgotten how. I have compared prices and this is a SUPER BUY! Thanks Amazon for another great and pleasing purchase.
