This shaver is value, options and quality. It’s simple and practical to use and the cleaner is cool. I did the homework comparing shavers, it’s worth it. First of all, I did some trial and error, then a lot of research before I brought my Braun 5790 and it is the clear winner because of value, value, value. I work hard and like value for my money. One of the reasons I went with electrics in the first place was to save money over buying replacement heads and cream etc.

Braun Series 7-790cc – Pulsonic 9595

The bottom line for me is the shaver works better than the 7526, but the cleaning system is very annoying. Braun is banking on customers using the cleaning system and purchasing refills, and has created the product in a way that it becomes somewhat of a hassle to clean manually. You can still clean manually, but from my experience it won’t be as clean as it would have been had the cutterblock and foil not been attached (which would allow for brush cleaning). And yes, I followed all the directions and ran the water the way the instructions said, with the shaver on, but the low hygiene sign keeps blinking. I am seriously considering returning the shaver because I don’t need the cleaning system and because of the way Braun has created the product to dissuade people from manual cleaning. It’s not even likely Braun will release a 9595 without the cleaning system, because the inherent problem in my opinion is the foil and cutterblock being attached, thus preventing brush cleaning of each segment of the cutterblock.

Braun Series 7- 790cc Electric Shaver

Ok here we go for my first and probably only review on Amazon. I am 50 years old and have tried pretty much every electric shaver known to mankind. Each time giving up due to the pinching,non close shave and pain in the butt cleaning. In the end, I was going back to razor blades and the frequent cuts. I went to Braun’s website and read about this shaver and came to Amazon to see the reviews here. I decided after reading the reviews to splurge on another electric shaver.

What a find! This in my humble opinion is the greatest invention EVER! It’s the first electric razor I’ve used which doesn’t get hot after a couple minutes of use.Hot razor means sweaty face which trips up razor and adds to pinching. Braun recommends you shave before you shower or wash your face, while you still have a little protective barrier of oil on your skin. A big no-no with regular shaving, this worked well with the Pulsonic. They also recommend you shave against the grain. Again, not recommended for regular shaving. For electric shaving, works great.
