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 ... ...still haven’t – but the Braun Series 7 790cc comes closer than I ever expected to find. Given that it retails in Boots for £250, you might think that it was a triumph of hope over experience that I even bought one to find out (especially as I was sceptical) but I did buy one and I don’t regret it at all. (I did wait until Boots was doing one of its occasional discounts, so it was £200 and not £250, and I did buy it with Boots Advantage Points, their ...

Advantages: It shaves close. Its comfortable. It cleans itself. It looks the business. Disadvantages: None i can think of, apart from the extra cost of more cleaning cartridges.
...head vibrates; as according to Braun this is to loosen and raise problem hairs. But there are benefits to this as the shaver glides over your skin, and the flexing heads easily follow the curves of your face. The central cutter is known as the 'Power-Comb' as it aims to raise problem hairs that lie flat against the skin.
The shave quality certainly doesn't disappoint. After feeling my face it feels a lot smoother than with my old Philips rotary ... ...the Hygiene-o-meter went down, so the cleaning station chose the 'Eco' mode. There are also 'normal' and 'intense' modes (which are chosen automatically if required) and a 'fast mode' which takes only 25 seconds but does not dry the shaver. The cleaning station also looks great in its white body with its blue and green LEDs. Also the shaver can be washed under the tap, but this does not reset the 'Hygiene-o-meter'. A standard flip-up trimmer is built ...

Advantages: Build quality, shaving performance, cleaning performance, low running costs Disadvantages: The only one - the plug is a shaver plug, and not a 3-pin mains plug
...the actual review of the Braun 790cc, the obvious thing you'll notice is the price. Yes, it can be crazy expensive depending on where you buy it (I got it for £150), but that is not as big a deal as it sounds, which will become clear through the review.
On first impressions the actual razor feels chunky, weighty but not heavy, and sits nicely in your hand. It also has a rubberised back to it where you hold it, which gives fantastic grip and confidence ... ...cleaning unit is white, but what you can't see are subtle silver flecks in the plastic, and all together give it a clean and sophisticated look - and it's not as large in real life as it looks in photos.
After reading other reviews, people criticised the noise while in use, so I was wary of that, but in all honestly it's not as loud as I was expecting - in fact, I would say it's a touch quieter than my previous Philishave.
Moving on to the shaving ...

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
...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 ... ...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 that sends pulses for easy shaving the feature called Pulsonic. I especially notice how easily it cuts through stubble without feeling at all harsh - I have very sensitive skin.
The extra speed is a definite help, but I have always suffered with a Shaving rash around my lower neck/Adams ...
