Braun - Trimmer - Gray

I tend to have to buy a new electric shaver every other year for various reasons, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money, but still get solid performance. Of course if you spend $100+, you're pretty much guaranteed to get a solid shaver, but I didn't want to shell out that much cash. Yes, yes, you use a shaver everyday so a $100 investment isn't that much... but I just didn't feel like paying that much. So I had a mission to get a shaver around $50 bucks without expecting too much. Another requirement, I've had a goatee since college going on 17 years, so need something to trim the chin without much effort as well. Lucky me, this shaver/trimmer was on sale, and BestBuy also was handing out $10 off coupons for shavers (excluding Norelco/Phillips), so that sealed the deal. So honestly I didn't expect much from this $40 shaver, but it performs SOLID, and as it's a wet/dry shaver, it's easy to wash in the sink/shower as well. I've had some bad experiences with lateral blades (instead of rotational) where the blades snag on your beard (ouch!) if you let it grow out too long, but this badboy seems to handle one day stubble to 3 day growth with the same efficiency. Might be somehow related to the unique mesh design, not sure. Oh and the last great part, it charges in 5 minutes (give or take a min). I always forget to charge my shavers, and I kick myself when I'm in a rush. I was skeptical at first, but in this exact situation, I plugged it in to recharge, went to handle some business in the bathroom, and charging was complete when I came back out. (Sorry, now you know how long it takes for me to handle business in the bathroom) Anyway, great product!

I bought this trying to find one device instead of the three I'm using now. I have a whal clipper for edging, a panasonic electric for close shaving and one of the small norelo's for trimming. This product does none of those things well. It's compact, ergonomic and has all the pieces but falls way short. The edger does not create a clean line. It barely cuts at all. The shaver irritated my skin and didn't provide a close shave. The trimmer has nice attachments but didn't work for my short beard. I wanted to love this thing but I don't even like it. If it did two of the three things I could have liked it.

After 25 years, my 100 series shaver motor died and can't be replaced. So this single foil shaver is the replacement. Similar to the 100 in many ways, is augments the job of my heavier two-sided shaver. This helps cut the beard shorter. On the positive side: The Cruzer does not heat up the face like the old 100 model routinely did. My only concern was the foil screen did flip out of the housing - perhaps owing to the pressure I was applying with the shaver against my face.

A simple basic shaver, yet has various attachments for lots of trimming options. I don't use the options, but the shaver is sturdy and gives a thorough and efficient shave. The charge lasts a long time before needing a recharge. Would be better if had extra screens for future replacement.

I've always liked Braun for my shavers. When heads wears out, the shaver usually cuts you. This shaver is the most comfortable one ever. The head seems to be made better. The shaver last a long time from week to week. I do not have a heavy beard. Works great for me.

My boyfriends loves this he actually said I can’t believe I’ve been shaving with a razor for so long. This can be used wet or dry. It has very close cut for an electric razor. The only thing is if your hair is to long it doesn’t really cut very good, but I think any electric razor is that way.

My husband bought this for himself and stopped using it within days. He didn't like it. We purchased another different style of electric razor within the month. Not sure that anything is wrong with this razor, just personal preference. Lesson here might be, don't let husband go shopping on his own.

We were replacing a less expensive beard trimmer, that got dropped and broke. We were excited about upgrading to Braun and have been very disappointed. The unit itself could be a lot simpler. It does not trim well at all and was actually painful to use.
