Customer Review: Not a Great Shave
Summary: 2 Stars
After using Norelco electric razors for many years, I decided to try Braun when my last Norelco's battery died.
After trying this razor for a few months, it was my experience that it is best at shaving recently shaved (like the day before) facial hairs. If I have some hairs that have grown for a couple of days or so, perhaps from being missed during previous shavings, it is very hard to get this razor to cut them and sometimes I have to use the pop-up sideburn trimmer for this purpose. In addition, it is much noisier than the Norelco and is not as comfortable or as easy to hold throughout the shaving process as a Norelco is. Overall, the Norelco feels better to the skin (smoother, more comfortable) while shaving. For these reasons, I have given up on this razor and switched back to a Norelco in the $120 price range, (model 8251). My only regret was that I didn't figure this out during Braun's 30 day money back guarantee period. (Norelco gives you 45 days.)
As for cleaning the Braun, I found that just using water and soap as directed (or even just removing the top and blowing away the hairs with my breath at times) worked fine. Perhaps there is some value in the cleaning solution trip but I doubt it is worth the extra price.
I just read another Amazon review of this product that suggested using Williams Lectric Shave to get a closer shave (even though the razor's instructions say to shave with your face dry). Maybe this tip would make a difference. (The same review has an interesting suggestion for making your own cleaning solution - the review is titled "Making a So So Shaver Better," by M.D. Young, 10/13/08)
