Fair
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not that crazy about this razor. I had heard good things about Braun and hoped to like it, but the Norelco and Phillips triple head rotary type razors seem to do a better job for me.

Not to best
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been always using Philips shavers and wanted to give a try for Braun. Braun was brand choice in my childhood with high respect in Europe. Unfortunately, I did not work as well as Philips and even if I used few times during one year, it is making too much noise now and hurting my face while shaving. Definitely something wrong.

Exceptionally smooth and comfortable
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start by saying I have used a rotary razor (Phillips Norelco) since I started shaving. Their quality slipped and my latest replacement heads did less shaving of hairs and more of ripping them out of my face. No other rotary options...even the priciest...seemed to get around this complacency about the basics. I took a bet on a foil razor instead (gasp!) and chose Braun. Exceptional. Just exceptional. Smooth shave...closer than my Phillips Norelco rotary ever got. I was concerned about changing my shaving technique, but this razor is super forgiving and robust to sloppy technique. It actually gets hard to reach hairs (neck, upper lip) better than my rotary with less irritation. My only con is it’s a touch louder, but I don’t know why that would ever keep you from the other worldly shave this provides. Also be warned that the cleaning base will want regular cleaning solution refills, but it does keep it humming along I guess (less sold on this). I am super pumped to have made a bet on a foil razor and picked this very solid (albeit not literal most expensive) option. I think this is the sweet spot in the line up.

Didn’t help razor bumps
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been shaving with an edger for years. Decided to try a real shaver to see if I could get a closer shave and completely eliminate razor bumps. Didn’t help, made razor bumps worst. Returned product and stuck with the edger I’ve always used.

||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as replacement for barber foil shaver but it did not shave my head or face as close as other items. Returned and other items are no where as expensive as this.
