Braun Series 7 (page 2 of 4)

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...

Bought this for my elderly father after researching. He wanted a foil one as he’d had great problems with a rotary model, and couldn’t change heads easily. He shaves every morning, dry, so I just bought the basic model rather than dry/wet. He loves it and says it gives him the best shave he’s ever had.

This is my second Braun 760cc. I use it 6 days a week and only charge once a week. Gives very close shave and smooth finishing. Got it when it was special at HN. Been using it for 3 years. I prefer Foil over Rotary due to the ease of using it and also ability to lock the head. Have not changed cutting heads yet. Cleaning is very easy and comes with self cleaning function.

Shaver works fine BUT try to use the trimmer to trim your ‘stash........the head blocks ENTIRE view of where you’re trying to trim. NOT well thought out.......from a design teacher. Have you thought of a different career?!? Ohhhhhh just kidding!!

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...

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...

Purchased this shaver about 2 months ago at the time on sale $350 and it came with the 60 day braun refund.
So i thought I might give it a go and have enjoyed using it since
I have a very hard beard which regrows within hours from cutting
I did not shave for 2 days, on the morning of the 3 day to my surprise this shaver did a bloody amazing job
Clean smooth shave.
I really like the self cleaning base, it's very hygienic it has a solution of disinfectante which washes the shaver after every use if you decide to and recharge the battery.
In built trimmer is very handy
Highly recommend the purchase of this shaver even thought it might be a bit more expensive from other brands

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...

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...

At first the braun cut great. After about 6 months the blade will be dull, no worries go buy replacements. Good luck fining them. Replacement blades cannot be purchased anywhere and even if you could they re $70+. so you now have an expensive paper weight.

I bought this shaver in March. In May the shaver's foil was so badly corroded / damaged that it removed the top layer of my skin. I replaced the foil head and in August the exact same problem.

How do you have a nice clean finish shave with this shaver.
I've had several shaves and not once have I been happy with the finish and needed a razor to clean up before leaving the house
Is the Braun series 7 crap or do I need a guide

I like: the slim design (easier to hold and manoeuvre); the trimmer (a great improvement); battery life between charges; zip-up case (the 8595 plastic one broke at the hinge in no time).

I dislike: the fact that you can't just plug the shaver into the power to finish your shave if the battery goes flat on you. This is clearly a deliberate decision by Braun to force you to use the 'Clean&Renew station' to clean, lubricate and recharge. When the battery goes flat, it does so very quickly, so make sure you regularly check the display on the bas...

Daily user to keep a light trimmed beard & close shaved parts. Best shaver I've ever owned to date. Bought at Shaver Shop. Other brands haven't impressed me. I chose the one without the self cleaning dock to keep the ongoing costs down. Very happy after about 6 months. Wife also happy with it on her stubble. Guess it's a his n hers eh!?

I bought this unit based on the numerous reviews I'd read. Having always used rotary blade shavers previously, I find this foil shaver to be mono-directional by comparison. Whereas I never required a mirror to shave previously, I now find that I have to shave in the mirror so I can follow the angle of beard growth. I won't ever buy another foil shaver!

Does not give a good shave. A waste of money. I paid over 2 hundred dollars for this product - what a disappointment. I wish I could my money back.

I was given this for my 40th birthday to replace an older Braun shaver / trimmer. The shaver is very effective but I really think the trimmer is cheap, plasticky and less effective. For the money, I expect more but I suppose that's the way all companies are heading now.

For the money you pay on this item, it should provide excelent results. The trimmer is useless and in a very odd position where you cant see what your cutting. The main blades in my opinion are junk and useless. Takes forever to cut growth and uncomfortably tips any growth inc small harshly from your skin. I prepare myself for this now as dont want to buy another shaver. Paid almost $270 for this crap.

Also the cleaner cradle is poorly designed where the drain hole blocks with hair from the unit.
Useless and if I could rate as ZERO I would.

A Braun shaver user for most of my adult life, I seem to have found one that disappoints. This one is rough as guts and does not come up to the usual Braun mark (In my opinion).
I note it has been discontinued. I'm not surprised.

I have always used a blade and shaving cream but due to an acquired disability I had to change to an electric shaver. I did a lot of research and decided on the Braun basic 720s model, mainly because Braun had the least negative reviews and the basic model seemed to do everything e.g. the 900 series did without the additional expense. I have had it since Sept 2016 and couldn't be happier, all I do is wash the foils under the tap after each shave and every now and then spray them with a lubricant. Charging about once a week is all that is required to keep it running. It may not be as good as a blade but it is very close. Hope this review helps anyone wishing to purchase an electric shaver.

This is my second electric shaver, my first was $70 Remington Foil Shaver from Big W and it lasted 2 years with no complaints. It was time to upgrade and i decided to do some research. I seemed that all the big reviews were won by the Braun 7 Series. Shaver Shop had the 7 Series with $35% off over for $350 over Christmas so I decided to invest. I have used this Shaver and it is First Class. I get no irritation the Clean and Renew system that came with the shaver works great and cleans my Shaver like new every time I use the shaver if I want. So...

This electric razor gives a very poor shave even after going over the same area several times. It is a very slow process and does not live up in any way to the claims of the manufacturer or the shop who sold it to me. I have persevered for 6 months and if I need a decent shave, use a wet blade. The shop does not want to know, I cannot find a number for Braun customer service. Don't waste your money, they are not cheap and the result is poor

I bought this shaver to replace my years old Philishave SmartTouch XL (2 head rotary system). After 1 week, this is definitely a step up, with a closer shave (almost close to a razor), less abrasive on the skin, and the large rectangular head means it covers more of your face with fewer strokes. Cleaning is a breeze with the clean and charge station.

Bought a Philips aqua-shave. It was so bad I went back to my 15 year old blunt Remington. The Braun is in a different league. Smooth as silk. Very happy.

Gives me a nice smooth shave and I have thick black hair. You do have to go over a few times, but it doesn't irritate. Does take longer than a razor... but does a good job without any mess as it catches all the hairs with a dry shave.
If I've let it get a couple mm long, I have a rough shave in the evening and then clean it up in the morning. Comes out very smooth. The cleaning base is great, gives the shaver a nice clean smell as it washes it in an alcohol solution which seems to last a couple of months shaving every few days. Battery ha...
