Braun Shaver - 9595

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...

Braun Epilator

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...

Braun with Brains

Advantages: Quiet, smooth and comfortable
Disadvantages: Costly as a one off purchase

...One day soon, I will be in a position to write my autobiography, based on the Braun shavers that I have owned and used during my lifetime. I have kept them all, though I have discovered no reason for doing so and no useful purpose for them either.! - it is just a sad reflection on the hoarding tendencies of the Badger clan.! My last Braun - reviewed 18 months ago, decided to play a very nasty trick on me. The contraption it comes with, which cleans and recharges the shaver after each use, decided to malfunction.! I searched for a replacment cleaning unit and the cheapest in the UK costs £52. In the States I could get one for $29, but the cost of shipping, VAT, customs etc put me off. Since £52 is half the cost of a complete new Braun system, I used my old brain, and went for a new Braun. 1 The Purchase %%%%%%%% So, being...

Braun Series 7 70cc electric shaver - use a braun, use your brain

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...

Braun Thermoscan

Advantages: Ultimate reassurance, high accuracy, so simple to use
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...with the cheaper models so we had a trawl around and found the Braun Thermoscan on special offer on the Boots website. Normally retailing at just under 40 pounds, we managed to pick it up for just under 30pounds, a real bargain. It really is so simple, switch it on, wait for 3 digital lines to appear, press the button, put it in her ear and within 2 seconds it beeps to tell you the temperture has been recorded. Thats it!! Simplicity. Now of course I then check time and time again just to be sure, and it pretty much comes up with the same temperature each time so I feel quite confident about its accuracy. It comes with disposable earpieces so as not to spread any infection, very clear directions, and its own case for easy storage. Another great baby buy, I may be neurotic but from personal experience I know it is better to be safe than...

Review of Braun Thermoscan

Braun a brand you can trust

Advantages: Hair free legs for weeks
Disadvantages: None so far

...I must admit when it comes to shaving I?m always on the look out for new products which makes life easier and something that lasts longer then just shaving alone. I?ve tried all sorts, waxing which I am really not keen on much to painful for my liking, all sorts of different razors and creams and gels, which until now had the best results, but not anymore I have found one that goes that one step further. Braun Silk Epil soft perfection is an epilator which removes hairs from the root. The Epilator has lots of tweezers the opens and closes at high speeds and spins round pulling the hair out from the root, sounds painful, but it?s not as bad and painful as waxing. ~ How to Epilate ~ First of all make sure that your skin is completely dry and that it hasn?t got any grease or oil on it as it won?t be able to remove the hairs...

Braun 4775 - Not Cheap - But Quality.

Advantages: Efficient shaving, smooth shave, reliability
Disadvantages: Skin needs time to adjust - as with all electric shaving

...birthday that I had an electric shaver. If I remember correctly, I think it was a Philishave or something similar. Fantastic, I thought, no more shaving the heads of spots! No just red raw skin and the occasional use of a blade to remove the bristles that the shaver seemed to miss. At least I wasn't bleeding, so when my father said, "you will need to give it time for your skin to adjust and use it twice a day," that didn't go down too well either. Over the years, I alternated between wet and electric shaving until I got a Braun circa 1978. This was shaving heaven; the blades were sharp and sliced through the toughest of bristles without effort and without the feeling that I was sandpapering my face. This shaver was replaced with another new identical Braun (the exact model eludes me right now) in 1987, and my latest acquisition in December...

Braun Pocket Go 570 Shaver

Advantages: Size, long hair trimmer
Disadvantages: Shave wasnt as close as I would have liked

...---Background --- I received this product as a Christmas present from my parents who accused me of always looking scruffy when I visit (the cheek of it!!). I must admit I prefer wet shaves as, in my opinion they always give a much closer and smoother finish. I have also used my trusty Philips travel shaver during the past year when I've been in a real rush and need to for the 'anything is better than how I currently look' look. I opened up the Braun box in anticipation of something that would fall in between my wet shave and my Philips experience. --In the box-- The contents of the box are not exactly mindblowing. You get the shaver, an instruction manual and 2 Duracell AA batteries which means you dont have to go hunting around for batteries you bought last Christmas and put in a safe place that you have since forgot...

Review of Braun 570 Pocket GO

Bargain from Braun

Advantages: Creates fun looks quickly, heats up fast, cheap!
Disadvantages: Doesn't really straighten your hair.

...dirty mind! It looks like a pair of fat curling tongs. The colours are an off white colour, which is the base (the holdy bit) orange, which is the clip (the bit that you push in and out and squishes your hair) and the other side of the clip, which is grey in colour. I don’t think the colours actually go too well together. The appliance has a twisty off end thing, this is where you have you power supply. The appliance runs from a mini gas canister thing (which I’ve just sprayed all over my hands trying to have a look at it). The canisters that you get for it can be bought from most chemists or from places like Boots and Superdrug. They are blue in colour and you can get packs of 3 for about £4. The appliance has the name written along the side, it also has the brand name. It says ‘Braun Straight and Shape’ There is...

braun oral b

Advantages: simple to use, and a good clean
Disadvantages: none to report

...having previously purchased a braun electric toothbrush before i was more than happy to stay faithfull to the braun brand, i found this toothbrush very good and felt as though i had had a trip to the dentist when i first used it! also very strong which is really important simply because of the daily use it receives. The replacement brush heads are also very reasonable when you compare them to the other toothbrushes that are available: Overall this is a good purchase if your looking for something more than your average and to be sure of a good clean, i would be happy to reccomend this to my friends if they was looking to purchase an electric toothbrush, sometimes to decide on electrical appliances can prove to be tricky at times but this would be the most simple of decisions, in my opinion....
