      Bought myself the Braun 9 Pro and only had old-school shavers before. I still wait for it to arrive.

    After watching this, I ordered the Braun Series 9 Pro+ which arrived a few hours ago. I'm an old school wet shave veteran of 40+ years and have been sceptical about electric razors for a long time. But I must confess, having tried this thing just now, my first experience has truly blown me away. It's the closest shave I think I have ever had and all from the comfort of my armchair. Thanks Geezer.

  • @ayokay123
    @ayokay123 10 місяців тому +8

    This question is an easy one for me. Rotary takes off the most in the shortest amount of time, and the newer 7-8 blades rotaries are replacing the 3-5 head versions. The Braun foil will shave more closely, and it's better for getting under the nose, below the lip, and around the next. I use both, rotary first, then Braun series 7. Combined, they're 95% as close as a blade. If I'm going to a really fancy event, I'll use a blade, but that's only once or twice a year. The benefit of electric is that I can shave every day if I want to. Update: I take that back about using the Braun for under the nose and under the lip. The newer Brauns don't have a head lock feature which my old Braun 7 Series does. You need that feature to be able to do a good job in those hard to reach areas.

    I own 3 new razors. Norelco 5000 aqua touch and the 5000x & a Braun series 3. Both Norelcos shave very well dry, haven’t tried wet shave yet but even though they shave very close and comfortable I can go behind the norelco with the Braun series 3 and it takes off more and feels more smoother but honestly either of the 3 are great razors. You can’t go wrong with either of the 3 razors and all under $70 in the USA. Hope this comment helps someone cause this is my honest review.

  • @Craig419
    @Craig419 Рік тому +8

    Picked up the Braun Series 5 recently. Combined with a pre-electric shave (Lectric) it gets me a better shave than my DE and with no irritation. For trouble spots I want to smooth out, there's enough slickness to hit it quick with a blade and be done.

    That little extra trimmer head is something to really look for. When my old shaver broke, I bought a Braun model that doesn't have the trimmer. Now I can't easily get at the hairs that are too long, and if I forget to shave I'm screwed. Problem is it's a Braun so it's a reliable, quality thing that I've now been stuck with for the past 7 years :D

  • @danielosdinia4258

    I guess you didn’t read the Philips IQskin brochure. In that manual it reads that after the first two, three shaves the built in sensors provide a map of your face contours and the density of your facial hairs. Thus, from the third shave you should expect a much closer shave than before. I saw that for myself and after a few not so close shaves, now my rotary S5585 shaves the closest I’ve ever seen from an electric shaver. Also, mine has self sharpening technology as well so no need to any other accessories but the tap water.

      Tried brown and Philips. The rotary not as close as brown but faster and more efficient under the neck or angles. Also longer bird 3/4 days more. Difficult and painful compared to rotary Philips and not.

    Foil seems better, but what about the rotary ones that have an additional trimmer head or the Braun 5 that also has an optional trimmer head? Till we buy one, what do you suggest we clean the Wahl Trimmer with? Older model, but only one that hasn't died on us, newer models die with the first drop.
