Braun - Series 7 720s-4 Electric Shaver - Black

Best Buy had the best price on this at only $105. All the others wanted $150-200. Only owned & used for one month observations. Since I am now retired, I wanted to look shaved daily but without the hassle of the wet shave. [1] First impression is a good one. I like it and want to keep it. [2] It does NOT give a blade shave equivalent but close. I get my blade "5 o'clock shadow" at 4 o'clock with this electric shaver. Not a problem for me. Can always do another quick shave in the evening if needed. [3] I did the initial charge when new. Still on that first charge after one month. Maybe I shave faster than some. If the battery runs down where you can't shave, this is one of the few electric shavers you can shave while using the charging cord. [4] Cleaning is super easy. Pop the head with the right hand while holding the shaver with the left. Gently tap them both against the sink. Give the bottom of the head a short blast of Remington Shaver Saver & snap the top back on. I turn the shaver on & give the top of the head another short blast of RSS. [5] ALL cleaning is a "dry cleaning" as noted. Braun says you can "hot water wet clean". My view is water & metal = gummy rust issues. Braun replacement heads are $40. I intend to avoid that purchase as long as possible. [6] Many have negatively commented about the lack of a plastic cap to protect the head in storage. That cap will be lost quickly and it really is not needed. Immediately after I "dry clean" the shaver, I place it in the great mini travel case that comes with the shaver. I don't zip it up. I just close it & put it head up in a large coffee mug by the sink. The travel case is the perfect product to protect the shaver. It is also immediately ready for a trip without digging around looking for it.

Solid and durable design, foil is more solid than the Braun model it is replacing for me. At first I was a little disappointed that this model didn't have the charger/cleaner station as the alcohol based cleaning solution always did a great job cleaning the foil. This model however seems to clean up very well just utilizing hot water, which is less of an expense then the solution for the other and a plus. Not everyone's facial hair works well with an electric razor, but for me they give a nice close easy shave with no chance of cuts. Only con about this razor over the other model Braun I had is the pop up trimmer is much smaller and a little harder to use, other than that it's a great product that will no doubt last me many years like my last Braun which was about 10 years old when it died.

Longtime Norelco 3 rotating shaver head user. Over the last few years, this type of shaver has become exceedingly ineffective and time consuming for me to use. Either my beard has changed with age, and is not conducive to a rotating head type shaver, or the self sharpening feature did not work properly. it would take me literally 20 + minutes to shave, and most of the time I had to use the trimmer feature to complete the job, even minimally. The difference with the Braun Series 7 is night and day, and I'm very happy that I made the switch to it.

I've been a Braun user for years. The 720S-4 gives a nice shave. However, there are 2 annoying inconveniences. First, the shaver doesn't come with a plastic guard for the head. Braun says it's because the shaver can be stored in its travel case. This is bull, since the case takes up too much room in a drawer. The second problem is the case itself. Only the shaver fits. There's no room for the cord, which creates a problem when taking the shaver on a long trip.

I had been using an older 3 series Braun shaver. I thought it was working well, so I hadn't given it much thought. The screen and blade needed to be replaced the day before I had to go out of the country on a long trip. They were out of series 3 replacement blades and I was in a hurry, so I reluctantly purchased this 7 series shaver. And boy am I glad that I did. What a great shave. Smooth, fast and no irritation. I sometimes suffer from ingrown hairs. However since I have upgraded to the new shaver, I have had no issues at all. I love this shaver!

You get what you pay for. This is a good quality electric shaver. The charge lasts a long time. This is my second one. I bought it for my teenage son, so he won't have to keep using mine. I have sensitive skin and break out when I use a regular razor. This razor shaves almost as well, but doesn't irritate my skin.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he loves it! My hubby HATES to shave and has always been a non-electric shaver, as he felt electric shavers never got close enough. I don't think that this is quite up to the quality of when he shaves with his hand razor, but it is a close second w/o all of the problems associated with normal razor shaving...chaffing, cuts, bleeding, toilet paper! This razor helps him to take off the top layer on those days that he doesn't feel like shaving in the traditional manner!

My previous Braun shaver died after many years of good service. I bought this model and have been delighted with it. The fit and quality is superb and the feeling as I shave is the best I have ever experienced. There is no pulling and it shaves really close. Not quite as good as a blade but good enough. I am completely satisfied.
