Advantages: Quiet, smooth and comfortable Disadvantages: Costly as a one off purchase
...the inclusion of a rigid carry case.
The previous one had no carry case, and that had resulted in an expensive battery replacement after my gel immersed the shaver inside my wash bag on a trip to Amsterdam... ( no not hair gel - shower gel!! )
Third difference in terms of contents of the box, was a much bigger and better cleaning brush. I thought this was a bit surprising since the cleaning unit is supposed to do the job ! But, - silly me, - there are times when you travel and do not want to carry the whole caboodle with you - so just take the brush ! - good idea.!
Then of course, you get the shaver itself, a cartridge for the cleaning unit, some instructions and a guarantee.

Braun shavers are fairly distinctive. This one steps in at the usual size - about 7" long, about 2" wide and about 3/4 " deep.

Advantages: Lots of accessories, good instructions, excellent range of features Disadvantages: none specific to the product itself, several to the process of epilating

This series of the Braun epilator also has a light on the body to illuminate the skin its about to pass over.

The LED on the Braun shows up the fine hairs that would be easy to miss without a close up light.

The two for the standard provide massaging rollers while one covers some of the revolving tweezers on the head so less hairs are removed in one pass. This is useful for those just starting out, so they can gradually accustom to the sensation. The other cap just provides the massaging...

Advantages: The best electric shaver I have ever found Disadvantages: It's quite expensive
...and the blade cleaned, dried and lemon scented. There are two settings ? ?fast clean? gives one cleaning/washing cycle (recharging at the same time) and ?start cleaning? which runs through several wash and dry cycles (and resets the hygiene status to 100% when it has finished and also fully recharges). It is easy and pleasant to you, and let?s be honest it also appeals to the gadget-obsessed little boy lurking inside to many adult men!
I also like that Braun have me one power lead that I can use to plug direct into the shaver, if I wish, or which will plug into the Clean & Renew charging stand, and also given me a tough plastic moulded case I can put the shaver in so it survives travel. When you are travelling (you won?t want to take the whole clean/charge base with you) you can wash the shaver head directly under the running tap.
