Style: 9370cc Shaver
Ok, so I have had a lot of earlier experience years ago with electric razors and found the experience very unsatisfying! I was prone to getting razor burn that was so common back in the day... my earliest experience was mostly on very early models I tried borrowing them from my dad, and then years later using various Norelcos... I gave up due to unsatisfying results, razor burn etc... I've always been an every other day shaver and for many of shaving years used blades. I remember liking the early Bic disposables a lot! Then later, when Gillette came out with the tri-blade fusions, I was sold... never looked back and have shaved that way for several years... so seeing a Braun unboxing video one day on youtube and being bored, i checked it out and loved the look of the Braun design and the cleaner/charger... I thought; Wow this looks like its come a LONG way... but I was skeptical... I started watching videos and comparing different models, everyone seemed to have their favorites and it came down to probably three names... I read reviews and kind of determined you likely would not go wrong with either of the top three, but it then would come down to design and accessories! After all my research, I settled on Braun because of design and the very cool accessories! I went with the series 9 and chose the cc version because of the cleaning charging stand, which I loved the idea of! Of course after I bought it, I was still looking at videos while awaiting its arrival... I started second guessing my decision and wondered if I shouldn't have gotten the pro version... the pro can come with either a leather case or the very cool charging case... I was really concerned also that maybe the pros shave was a bit better and because of my earlier experiences with electrics, I thought maybe I mighta erred and for the money I spent, I hated to think I had not gotten the best shaving version... The long and the short of it is, I did a lot more research and video reviews and came to the conclusion most of the differences with the pro were accessories and a new head design that is on some new pro models. The heads for the newest pro are not even available yet in the USA (to my knowledge) and when they are, any series 9 can use them! Phew! So I really hadn't made a mistake! At least in buying an inferior razor! Well today the razor arrived! Having a day off and 2 days growth of beard, (my beard I think is avg, not overly coarse or thick, not fair or light either!) I was excited to test it out! The worst part of a new Braun arriving is that it does not arrive charged! But I knew that having seen so many videos... charging time is only about 1 hour anyway, so I set up the cleaning charging base and installed the cleaning and lubricating fluid cartridge... then i had to wait... I let it sit for a couple of hours, (I had also started the cleaning cycle on it even though it was a brand new shaver, I figured a cleaning and lube couldn't hurt it!!) The cleaning is also a lube for the shaving heads, so why not. Anyway, I finally tried it out! It was still slightly damp from the cleaning, but not really wet, (a lot of people in reviews said it often does not fully dry for 24 hrs, but no biggie, its designed for the razor, your face, etc... and the smell is pleasant!) Bottom line? What a terrific shave! I did the initial shave and was surprised how quickly it took down my beard! I did go back over it again in a different direction after feeling my face, (which looked completely smooth!) and gave a few strokes in a different direction just to polish it up! My face felt mostly baby smooth! Something I am not used to even with a blade! It also went way faster than my normal shaving routine which I always normally do only after a shower! I am extremely happy with this razor! If the rest of my shaving goes like this, I am one lifelong Braun customer!! One or two last things, I found a charging travel case on ebay for about a hundred and decided to buy it! Under normal use, i will be using the cleaning charging stand to clean, charge and store it in my bathroom, but for flights/road trips of a week or so? I will use the travel/charge case to keep it charged until I return and can drop it into the cleaning charge stand. And lastly, I do plan to use the cleaning cartridges and stand as an everyday thing! It's funny, in many youtube unboxing reviews, I see people saying; I doubt I will use the cleaning charging stand... or some post videos of how you can save money washing out the cartridges and refilling them yourself... the cartridges do a very necessary and helpful service by both cleaning and disinfecting, and lubricating the shaver head! Yes, you can probably save a few pennies by washing them out and refilling as long as you are adding in the correct fluids, (and you need to make sure the right lubrication/disinfectant, etc is added) but the cartridges at the end of the life of it is NASTY! Check out a few youtube videos! The stand has been cleaning hairs, dirty grime and oil from your face and beard for a month or two! Personally, I don't need/want to handle it! Theres a pop off cover on the cartridges and you should save it and recover it if you plan on recycling or tossing it out so the nasty stuff isn't spilling out! I bought a 6 pack of cartridges and did an Amazon subscribe and save which put my cost, (with free shipping!) at about 5 bucks a cartridge! The cartridges last about a month or two depending on use... I'd rather spend the 50-60 a year and just buy the cleaning cartridges which help prolong the razor and the shaving cartridge's life! With proper care, shaving heads last up to 18 months! Spend your money on the cleaning cartridges and your razor and shaving heads will probably last longer! Hope this was helpful! So far I am very, very happy!

Style: 9370cc Shaver
This is the best shaver I've ever tried by far. I'll give some background in case that helps you assess my review. I have a big, round face with a number of moles and tags. My beard is not all that full -- a full beard on me would have sparse areas -- but the individual whiskers grow in all directions and are obviously very tough, because when i used a blade the water had to be uncomfortably very hot and applied for several minutes, and I would still have trouble even with the best gels. That, plus persistent folliculitis, drove me to electric shavers. That was way back in the mid 1990s. I started with a Norelco triple header, which worked well enough. But when Remington came out with their self cleaning triple header, I switched (because I had to manually sterilize the Norelco shaver head every day due to the folliculitis). I liked the convenience and shave of the Remington. A brief word about the self-cleaning shavers. I've gone through a number of them, not because the shaver wears out but because the cleaning stand does. For years I could find no outlet for just a cleaning stand, leaving me with the purchase of an entirely new shaver as the only replacement option. After the second Remington cleaning stand wore out, I looked at Braun, which was at that time gaining in reputation. I was hesitant because many years earlier, before the above history starts, I had tried a Gillette foil razor, and it had been a disastrous ripping up of my face. So I was skeptical of another foil razor like the Braun, but the reviews persuaded me. My first Braun was some model lower than the 7 series. It gave me the best shave up until that time, such that, when its cleaning stand wore out, I upgraded to the 7 series. The Brauns were all easier on the moles and tags on my face than the triple headers had been. Again, a noticeable uptick in the quality of shave came with the 7, and I was quite pleased. By this time, a market for shaver cleaning stands had developed, so I've had the same Braun 7 shaver through two or three cleaning stands, and it's still going strong. But recently when it became time to replace the blades in the Braun 7, I took the opportunity to consider an upgrade to the Braun 9 series. For me, a faster shave was my main goal. The reviews comparing it the 7 series to the 9 were not consistent, so I pondered it for quite a while until deciding that each new model shaver I'd had in the past had resulted in a better shave. So I ordered the Braun 9290CC -- and wow, I have been extremely happy with my decision. The 9 is quieter and mows the beard down like never before. Its larger cutting area is like cutting the grass with a 24 inch mower instead of a 19. It shaves much closer and with much more comfort. With the Braun 7 I had to shave up and down, at a slant on both diagonals, and then straight across. With the 9, simply going up and down is almost enough for above the jawline, but below the jaw line requires going in at least two or three directions -- and so for the smoothest shave possible I still go in all four directions. But the shave is much quicker and the results better. It is a very comfortable and close shave, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Style: 9370cc Shaver
I have been shaving for over 50-years, starting with a DE for several years, until Gillette introduced its first cartridge, theTrac II in 1970 or 1971. I then progressed through all the cartridges that Gillette introduced over the years. About 10-years ago I went back to shaving with a DE and even shaved with a straight razor, from time to time, along with the latest Gillette Fusion cartridge. Recently, however, I decided to go all-in on electric shaving (for the first time). I was no longer willing to deal with wet shaving: the face prep, the cream/soap, brush, bowl, the long duration shaves, the clean-up, and the blood. So, I purchased the three top rated shavers on the market: the Panasonic ES-LV9N-S (purchased from the shavercentre), the Braun 9290cc, and the Philips Norelco S9721. All three shavers will provide a very close shave, possess excellent build quality, and have charging/cleaning/drying stations that perform well. So, my main criteria for judging a shaver is how close it shaves. I do not have very sensitive skin and shave dry (as I think this provides the closest shave). Recently, however, I have begun using Dickinson's Witch Hazel as a pre-shave prep. I just spread a little of the liquid on my face and let it evaporate for about 30 seconds before shaving. This stands-up the beard for an even closer shave, with no chance of gumming up the blades, as other pre-shaves have a tendency to do. No electric razor shaves as close as a blade, but these three models are close enough, especially considering that I can shave in about 7 minutes, versus 30 minutes for a careful blade shave (with no styptic pencil required!). I think that the Panasonic and the Braun are very close. The Panasonic may inherently give a slightly closer shave (and a little faster because of its larger head), but the Braun is more aggressive (not overly so, but worth mentioning for those with sensitive skin) and, because of its smaller head, is able to follow the contours of the face slightly better than the Panasonic, especially at the jaw-line and neck. This was only a minor issue and became even less important as I became more proficient with these two foil shavers. As for the Philips Norelco S9721, I think that it provides the most comfortable shave of the three and, for those with very sensitive skin, it may be the best choice. However, I find that, although it is capable of providing a very close shave, IMO it places third in this respect, behind the two foil shavers. In addition, although my technique with a rotary shaver has improved greatly, it still takes me a little longer to shave with the Norelco than with the Panasonic or Braun. I prefer the trimmer on the Panasonic to that of the Braun. I think the Norelco trimmer is excellent, but it is not integrated into the body and to use it one must detach the blade head and replace it with the trimmer. This is an annoyance. In summary, each of these shavers performed incredibly well and much better than I expected (I am never going back to blade shaving) and, if you are considering purchasing an electric shaver, you cannot go wrong purchasing any of the three. However, at this point, if I had to rank them, it would be 1. Panasonic ES-LV9N-S, 2. Braun 9290CC, 3. Philips Norelco S9721. They are very, very close in all respects and others may rank them differently, of course. So, as always, YMMV. ***UPDATE*** June 11, 2017 Now that I have spent several weeks using these shavers, I am updating my evaluation. The razor I reach for the most, the one I prefer to shave with is ... the Braun! It shaves very, very close (about on par with the Panasonic), and the smaller head does make a big difference. It is more maneuverable than the Panasonic (needing fewer passes around the jawline and under the chin, for example), and balances better in my hand. As mentioned earlier, I shave dry and both machines provide a comfortable, non-irritating shave. The Panasonic is an awesome machine but, as I said, the Braun is the one I reach for and prefer. The Panasonic thus moves to number 2. As for the Philips Norelco, it remains in 3rd place. It is capable of providing a very close shave (although not quite as close as the two foil shavers). However, it definitely takes a few minutes longer to shave with this razor than with the other two. In addition, I prefer to shave with linear strokes of a foil shaver, rather than the small circular strokes one needs to employ with the Philips Norelco. And, I found it much more difficult to shave my upper lip with this razor and to get reasonably straight sideburns (without using the trimmer) versus the other two razors. Also, as I mentioned in my initial review, the non-integrated trimmer of the Norelco is really inconvenient. So, there you have it. IMO, the Braun 9290cc is the best electric shaver on the market.

Style: 9370cc Shaver
Over the course of the last two months I tried multiple high end shavers (with cleaning stations) over time, to try and see which offers the best shaving and user experience. TL;DR: --------- After trying top of the line wet & dry from Braun (both 7 & 9) and Panasonic (Arc 5 - LV9N model) - I ended up keeping both the Braun series 7 and the Panasonic Arc 5. In my testing, the Arc 5 offers the best shaving, even if marginally so, and I prefer it as my everyday shaver. However, the Braun 7 comes close, and it is more compact, thus making it my travel choice, and why I ended keeping both. Braun 7 also offers best value for money. The Braun 9, in my opinion, offers no real advantage over the Braun 7, yet costs more and is bigger. Disclaimer -------------- After reading plenty of reviews online - it appears that unlike many other types of products, there is no one answer here. Each shaver has different design and therefore works better on specific types of faces. So what works best for me may not work best for you and vice versa. This is why I ended up buying and trying few of these products… Having said that… review in depth: The Competition ---------------------- I initially bought the Braun 7 (Wet&Dry, 7865cc) and was actually very happy with it. So happy that I realized I will be moving to shaving with a shaver from now (vs Gillette blades), so I decided to check out maybe there are benefits buying a higher end model. I then ordered the Braun 9 (Wet&Dry, 9290cc). In my opinion it offered no real benefit so I ended up returning it. Then I ordered the Panasonic Arc 5. Note that the Arc 5 has two “current” models - the LV95 (which is not noticeably more expensive than the Braun series 7), and the LV9N, which is still new and therefore costs 300$. The latter is considered to have better comfort over the former, and given that my neck area is a tad sensitive I figured it was worth the extra. The LV9N is the one reviewed here - I have no experience with the LV9S. Quality of Shave ---------------------- Naturally, this is the most important feature of a shaver, so I will start with that. I find all three shavers to offer really good shaving. In fact, I was very skeptical coming into this (I used to shave with Gillette up until this point), and while none of these offer as smooth as a shave, the difference is really, really, small. The Braun 7 was the firs tin the bunch, and I was really surprised with the closeness of the shave it offers. I got into this “adventure” a bit skeptical, but after trying the Braun 7 I realized this is good enough for me 99% of the time, and is faster and more comfortable than regular shaving. I then tried the Braun 9 to see if it can offer closer more comfortable shave as suggested by some reviews. It did not, not for me at least. Even though the head is larger and there are more cutting blades, I did not feel any real difference. Apparently one of the big selling points of the Braun 9 is its ability to better cut longer hair (3+ days of growth). This is not a real use case for me so I did not see an advantage there. In both one day old hair and two days old hair - the results were quite identical. (As a side note I will say this - I find that going over 2 days without shaving makes it quite hard for a shaver to get great results. In the few instances where I skipped shaving, I realized it was easier to just use a cassette blade for that). Finally I tried the Panasonic Arc 5. The Arc 5 is also quite big - but here you get something in return. The shave is ever so closer. Is it a huge diff? Not really…. But when shaving one side Braun and the other Panasonic, my wife can always tell which one is the Panasonic one. This is true right after shaving, and also 3 or 6 hours after). It is also a tad faster to shave with, esp with one day long hair, although again, the difference is small, as I need to do a similar process with all shavers (i.e. I can go only in a single directions on my face, but have to criss-cross in my neck area which is harder to shave - and that is true with all 3 shavers). Comfort of Shave ----------------------- Comfort of shave was the biggest concern for me going into this. Roughly 20 years ago I tried buying a shaver and was very distressed by the rash I got. I gave up shavers since and not tried them until now. I can say all three shavers are very good in this respect. The Braun 7 is a very comfortable shaver. I had very very mild itching in the first couple of days in my neck (which is sensitive), but they went away and never had a problem since, even when skipping 2-3 days of shaving. The Braun 9 is similarly comfortable. Some claims say it is more comfortable, and that may be true for some - but I did not feel any difference. Regarding the Arc5 - It’s hard for me to give a similar review as I tried it already after using the braun for some weeks (and thus my skin got used to the electric shaving first). Today, I do not feel any difference in comfort between the Arc 5 and the Braun 7. I can, however, say that in the second or third day of using the Arc 5, I had some rash on my neck - it was a combination of shaving rather “aggressively” (i.e. pushing) and having a day with a lot of physical labor (i.e. sweating), so it’s hard to put all the blame on the Arc 5. Nonetheless, it was there and it was so notable I skipped shaving the day after to let it relax. This has not occurred since again, and so now they offer similar comfort. Some reviews I read on the previous model (the LV95) suggest comfort is a little less perfect there, so point to be taken. Handling ------------ I like holding the Braun 7 the best. It is compact (which also makes it better for travel), and it feels more solid (probably because of the size/weight ratio). I also like the type of plastic it is made of. It’s a great shaver, really. Both Arc 5 and The Braun 9 are noticeably larger, which is sort of a disadvantage, esp. above the lips area. They also feel less solid (even though they are not), with the Braun 9 scoring the last place here in my opinion. The Arc 5 has the best locking and trimming mechanism in my eyes, and also offers two axis of movement for the (large) head, while the Braun 7 only offers one axis of movement (but its smaller head makes it a little less required). Bottom line, if they all shaved the same, I would use only the Braun 7. Display ---------- The Braun 7 has a very basic “display” while the Arc 5 offers more data and the Braun 9 even more. If you ask me - this is all complete waste of electronics and cost. The only thing to really care about is battery life. The braun 7 is a little more basic in it, while the Braun 9 and Arc 5 offers more granular data (Arc 5 shows it in percentage in jumps of 10%). The rest of the data, like “how long did you shave” etc - is meaningless, at least to me. In any case, for my use case, the Arc 5 and Braun 7 are “opposite”. The Arc 5 offers more granular battery life, but I intend to use it at home only, whereas the Braun 7 is intended for travel. I would consider all of this non-decision point anyway. Cleaning Station ---------------------- All three models come with cleaning stations. For me this was non negotiable as I do not like to waste time on cleaning etc. Looking back, I may have bought the Braun 7 without the cleaning station as it is mostly for travel, although I think even this way I would be happy to come back from a business trip and just throw it to the cleaning station rather than starting to take it apart. All 3 cleaning stations seem to be working similarly well, although in different approaches. The Braun stations look a little cooler, and offer a 3 level indicator as to how dirty the shaver is (low/medium/high), where as the Panasonic Arc 5 only shows you where it thinks you should clean it or not. The Brauns use “cassettes” of cleaners which come with the fluid inside. It is flammable and thus harder to carry with you for travel if you travel longer and want to carry the unit. They are also harder to order (will only ship by ground shipping etc.), and more expensive. The Panasonic uses a soap based solution which comes in nice small packets. It takes a few seconds longer to mix it with water but its not a big deal. Bottom line - hardly a decision making point either… Conclusion --------------- You can’t go wrong with either of these models. As I said above - I ended up staying with the Braun 7 as my travel shaver and the Arc 5 as my home shaver and I’m happy with both.

Yes, this razor is a bit pricey, but is very well worth the money. My last Braun was an 8800, and lasted 15 years. I decided to go cheap and try a Norelco. After the first use, I was highly disappointed. So, I went back to Braun and purchased this unit. Being that I shave my head and have heavy/thick neck hair, it takes on both comfortably, and shaves as close as a manual razor. Being that it's self-cleaning, each (everyday) shave is barber smooth!

Review This is my first Braun shaver, after years of using a rotary shaver. My needs are low, I only have to shave once or twice per week and I don't have thick or coarse hair. The shave was very close, especially at the beginning; after a year plus, it takes longer time and more passes to get a close shave but I'm sure if if I bought a new shaver head, I'd get back to close shaves. All in all, a good product... for the first two years and three weeks, until the power button/cover came loose. Again, I only use this shaver between once and twice a week so we're not talking heavy usage. But now, JUST after the two year warranty ends, this happens?!? (Bought January 28, 2024; button falls off February 21, 2026). If I want to keep using this thing, I have to put tape over the button to keep it in place and I have to make sure it stays dry, which means I'm not sure how well it'll do with being put in the cleaning station. This is not a good look, Braun. Pre-defect experience - four stars. Post-warranty defect drops this to one star because a product this expensive shouldn't develop a problem like this, not after such light usage and especially not right after the warranty ends!

I’m in my early 60’s and for 4 decades I would get tired of the wet sink shave and buy an electric razor. I don’t have a tough beard, but I think the most I ever spent was $40. I had not used an electric razor in the past 15 years (or owned one) but I got that old itch to have one. This time, it was going to be my wife’s Christmas present to me. I told her I’ve done the razor thing so many times and they never shaved me the way I liked. So I went UP in class. I’m using this everyday and have only wet shaved twice since Christmas. Yes, it’s expensive and I think overpriced, but so far, it’s been the best shaving experience I’ve had. I really want to try the wet shaved twice ability, but I’m so afraid it will mess it up! My only criticism is the “beard trimmer” is fairly worthless. Doesn’t help with my stash and goatee. If you want quality…..I recommend Braun.

Let me first say I started shaving 40+ years ago with a blade and septic pencil. I gave up with those in the late 70's and went the electric route and have never looked back. I have had 110v models, 3 rotating heads, rechargeable travel models and 2 Braun models most recently. The last was a series 7 I used for the last 4 years. It just felt like time to try a new one so why not the series 9? The series 7 had the clean and charge station and I have gotten to enjoy using it so going to the series 9 was not a big jump for me. The 7 did a good job but I had to go over and over in some areas to get the job done to my satisfaction. No electric will do as good as a blade, but they can come really close and the time saved is HUGE of the blade and foam. The series 9 is expensive but I am sure it will last 4+ years or longer, I just need to replace the head every 18-19 months, so like the series 7 in 4 years I replaced the head 2 or 3 times. I don't clean mine every time but opt to do a cleaning 2-3 times a week. The series 9 is comfortable in my hand, the head is a bit bigger than the series 7 and it has an extra row of blades in the head. It is a little quieter when running and it does seem to do a better job in the same amount of time or somewhat less time. I can be done in under 2 minutes easily which is less time than foaming up with the blade. My series 7 clean and charge station needed to be washed out twice a year or it clogged with whiskers where the fluid drains back into the fluid container. I hope the new one does not require that, but time will tell. With the series 9 I can wash out the head now and then rather than just shaking out the series 7, so less whisker will be there to clog it, I hope. One new feature with the clean and charge stand is they have added a fan to dry the fluid on the head after it self cleans. So bottom line is that it shaves better then the series 7 in as much or less time and has a new improved cleaning stand. I have not tried and probably never will use it in the shower, that just seems silly to me unless you have unlimited hot water you don't have to pay to heat.
