Advantages: LCD Panel - Sonic Pulsing - fast clean option - lifts problem hairs Disadvantages: cartridge is good for approx. 30 cleaning cycles - cutter and foil in one complete head
I was looking for a good shaver that does the job right, with a smooth and fast shave. After searching around for some time I found this excellent design product from Braun. This is without doubt the best Braun shaver to date. The combination of the new head, foil and cutter assembly has made this shaver the one to beat.
I have used the Panasonic ES 8163 and in many ways this gives a very similar shave, but with the very real advantage of the Braun cleaning system - I'm lazy when it comes to cleaning shavers - it's a chore, but for around £3.50 per month in cartridges you get a consistently cleaned and dried shaver without any fuss, and it really feels new every time you use it in the morning.I've also used previous Braun's shavers and this is a major step forward on everything that's gone before.
It has a new revolutionary motor ...
Advantages: Lots of accessories, good instructions, excellent range of features Disadvantages: none specific to the product itself, several to the process of epilating
I bought this product to replace an older version from a different manufacturer that I have had for about five years. I moved from North America to the UK and my old epilator wasn't dual voltage, so buying a new one was easier than the variety of adaptors and step down devices I would have had to find to keep using the old one.
Because I've been epilating so long, its hard for me to comment on the pain level of the Braun vs any other epilator as I really don't get much pain from the process anymore. At first it does hurt when you use it, but in my experience your skin gets accustomed, your hair roots get weaker, and the whole process gets quicker and easier. Quite a few of my hairs on my legs just don't grow in anymore.
I do find my Braun to be much more efficent than my previous model, which I believe was a Remington. The Braun ...
Advantages: The best electric shaver I have ever found Disadvantages: It's quite expensive
Braun Pulsonic Series 7 790 cc electric shaver with charge and renew
So what?s the story?
****************
I once heard a drill instructor once say to a recruit ?Have you shaved this morning, laddie??
The nervous recruit, with a gulp, squeaked ?Yes, Sergeant?
?Well tomorrow morning? came the riposte ?Stand a little closer to the razor!?
And there, in a nutshell, is my problem with electric razors or shavers: Immediately after I use one I look like I have maybe had a bad shave and within 4 hours ? well before the end of the working day ? I look like I have not shaved at all.
What does it matter?
*****************
I never expected to find an electric shaver which gave me as good a shave as a wet shave with a blade ? and to be completely honest, I still haven?t ? but the Braun Series 7 790cc comes closer than I ever expected ...
