Braun - Series 8 Electric Shaver with 5 in 1 SmartCare Center - Galvano Silver

Really happy with this razor. I've had a series 7 for about 12 years, it still works as fine as it ever did. This series 8 is a big jump in cutting quality. I suppose it's because of the motor having a higher cpm ( cutting actions per minute) than a 12 year old series 7. It's quieter and cuts better with little irritation. It also came with the cleaning unit and charging case, great for travel. Got it on sale for $249.

Sleek design and delivers a smooth, close shave. Very easy to use.

Sharp and smooth. This is definitely the best electric shaver i ever owned. I tried other makes and brands, nothing compares to this braun. This model even came with a powercase for traveling. I love it!

These were pretty solid but considering the price I couldn’t give more stars. They didn’t do well with longer hairs and irritated my skin a bit. Ended up returning for the series 9.

First of all let me say that i have been a Norelco user all my life and I’m now 71. Each time I needed a new razor I bought the best new Norelco I could afford.My current Norelco is a Series 9000 which is one of their more high end razors. I bought it because I was becoming dissatisfied with my old Series 9000. Initially it worked ok but it didn’t seem much better than the one I had. I used my new 9000 until I felt I had to replace the shaing heads. Instead of an improvement I was frustrated with the overly sharp blades. It took about a week to break it in. In the months that follwed i became very upset with the difficult time I was having getting a close shave. It got to the point where I just couldn’t get a decent shave and hated the whole act of shaving. I decided to try something else. I considered Panasonic and Braun. I was very leery of buying a razor that didn’t look like my Norelco. I didn’t think I’d like a straight razor head. I was afraid it wouldn’t shave my neck very well. Well, I was so wrong. I purchased a Braun series 8 razor and I was shocked. The shave was so smooth and took half the time. I couldn’t believe it. Now i am happy to shave because I can get the result I expect. Smooth everywhere. In addition, I bought the Braun on April 26 and just charged it on May 23. I have never had a Norelco that could do that. It came with a powered case which must also be charged. If you travel, you won’t need a vharging cord because the case will give you an additional 50% power so you could go two extra weeks without your cord. I just used the cleaning station for the first time and after cleaning the razor was perfectly clean. It station also charges your razor. I must admit the instructions that come with the razor are awful. They assume that you will be able to figure everything out from a series of pictures with no verbal explanation. I had to goto YouTube and watch videos to learn how to use the cleaning station. I also learned that the cleaning solution is reusable up to 30 times. I will probably clean the razor more iften now that I know that. Bottom line is that I have made the switch and will not be hoing back. In my opinion the Braun is worth the money spent It took a lifetime but I’m a Braun fan now!
