Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The braun is the closest shave that i've experienced (even closer than a standard razor blade) and it doesn't give me razor burn. Shaves cleanly. Only visual blemish is one connection on the grill broke, but i never notice it while shaving.

One of the very nice things about the series 1 is that you can use it while it's plugged in. It performs better than electric shavers costing many times more. Vibrating-blade shavers charge quickly and hold charge a long time.

Cons

Running it under water doesn't really clean the blades--neither does brushing. The problem is the motor's lack of torque. Main complaints are the vibration in my hand and its irritating, semi-grinding noise.

Price

Unfortunately they are getting hard to find and the price has doubled since i bought my last almost 10 years ago.

Competitiveness

My 5-star rating right now will hopefully stay a 5-star through the next several years.

I also have the braun series 5 and must say i like this shaver better than the series 5 is more comfortable in the hand and les... Read More

Just purchased a new one of the same model.
