My last Braun electric shaver I had for over 20 years, changed the blades twice, dropped many times, cleaned and lubed once a week (always used "Shaver Guard"), the battery eventually died on it recently (old Ni-cad type) but I could still use it with the cord. It was a basic model when I bought it and on sale, I was surprised how long it lasted, it did the job but sometimes missed areas. Got the series 7 for Xmas, it is a mid range model, again got it on special at 55% off, been using it daily and can't believe the difference in performance, I...Read more

I used to buy a cheap shaver every 6 months until I decided to go for better quality instead of just price. Ive had this shaver about 3 1/2 years and it still shaves very close today. Im happy to support a company which puts quality first so Im upgrading my shaver to a series 9 although I dont really need to for this one I could continue to use for another few years. Battery has lasted so, so long and still get plenty of use from a full charge. Replacement foil is needed about once every 2 years but Im very happy with that. Really quality shave...Read more

Having been a rotary Philips user for 50 years punctuated by a Remington foil once, I ventured into purchasing a Braun 7893 because the rather nice rotary contour Philips has current generation blades that lose their edge quickly and fail to do a good job below the jaw line.
My new 7893 is like revelation.

It is bulkier and noisier than the Philips however it is the real deal and on the intermediate blue setting I now have NO problem getting a better than reasonable shave below the jaw line and throat.
Further it is easier to clean and the c...Read more

I have for the last 40 years used a variety of wet shavers (my favourite remains my ancient Gullette Fat Boy DE safety razor from 1958 - so it's four years older than me and still working well) and several foil and rotating head electric razors. A close shave with minimal skin irritation is important to me, more so than a quick shave. I don't mind putting in the time and effort to get best results.

I read many glowing reviews before selecting the Braun Series 7 (7898cc) Wet & Dry shaver with the Charge & Clean base unit. I ordered it online on...Read more

Since I started to shave I was used to a blade or a good old type shaver. Specially as a part of military training I needed a clean shave where I can not feel any stubs.
One day I tried my son's shaver which is a series 5. I felt that it could deliver similar results to a manual shaver.
I did my research online and also visited shaver shops and got some response from sales team who were using electric shaver. In one of the shops I found series 7 shaver which did not mention wet and dry are a great price. When enquired the girl at the count...Read more

I bought the 7865CC Braun shaver two weeks ago after persisting for too many years with a couple of other electric shavers (the ones with the three spinning circular blades). And within the first 30 seconds of using this Braun I knew that this was seriously the best shaver I had ever used.
Really feels like I have used a blade, it is that clean and smooth a shave.
And the charging/cleaning station I thought looked more like a gimmick is actually bloody brilliant! I use the cleaning option every third day (which means the little reservoir sho...Read more

I stopped using my Philishave series 9000 because I was unhappy with it and after using Philips shavers for over 35 years. See the Philips 9000 review for my issues. So I bought a Braun series 7 and have been using it for a week. I’ve used a Phishave for over 35 years and it feels a bit like being unfaithful. I’ve been using the Braun for a little over a week. The Braun series 7 is simply better than the Philishave series 9000.
To pick up and hold, the Braun feels like it’s a better weight and more solid. Its a small thing, but you use it eve...Read more

I recently purchased a Braun 760cc-4 razor (all black not Noble Metal) to replace my Braun CoolTec (no longer made). To be honest, I got a closer and faster shave with my CT. With that said, the 760cc-4 I bought had an excellent sale price ($99) with all the attachments, 3 cleaning agent modules and the station. A close enough shave is had in the morning but by 1:00 in afternoon I could use another (if going out evening), otherwise, a close enough shave in the morning once again (moderate+ beard here).

An update from my previous review: I...Read more

I have read so many variable reviews on this model, extreme at best . I have never had a more consistent shave from any electric razor before this one I can say the polarizing reviews are because some people have very different skin, facial hair and expectations . I would suggest if the unit is not purchased with the cleaning base don't bother, as water cleaning doesn't really work as well as the cleaning base as the foil has too many areas where the water doesn't clean or lubricate the foil . After 2 years of use I am still more than h...Read more

I've had it for two years. In that time, the black finish started peeling off - poorly made. The shave itself is decent, although I can't say it was better than a razor. I only use it 3 times a week, and I replaced the blades at a high expense after the first year. The cleaning cartridges are expensive, but you know that when you purchase it. Just after the warranty expired the lock button on the side - locks it into place for shaving the upper lip - came off in my hand. That's pretty bad for a razor I spent over $300 to buy. It's the Bl...Read more
