Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The 9000s blade series is my recommendation. While a blade will always give a closer shave, this braun does a decent job. The foils are quite expensive so i probably leave it longer than i should before changing.



Cons

The second year after replacing my shaver head, the shave feels slow and dull and takes longer to shave. Norelco makes a better electric razor.

Braun recommends replacing these heads every 18 months and in this very product listing expound on their quality craftsmanship (caps theirs, not mine) the heads start wearing out after a month and chafe the face. From a cost standpoint it is not reaso...  Read More

If i try to use the blade with a hole in the foil my face turns into a scrapped up mess. Any attempt to reinsert the cutter only results in the cutting unit popping back out. The foil covers are pieces of *.

Price


4 star because this head is too expensive.


Extremely overpriced as are most braun products.


Would have been 5 star rating but for the price.


It’s worth the extra $$ you pay for.

Shipping


We received the braun replacement head super fast and as described.


The replacement head arrived promptly and none too soon to give my husband that close shave braun is known for.


On the plus side amazon had early morning delivery in time for me.

Packaging/appearance


The one i received was a plastic silver one.


The replacement (this item) came in braun packaging with made in germany mark.

Competitiveness


I tried two different bargain replacement heads neither of which was worth the price of postage.


No comparison as this cutter is way better.


I've used the off brand replacements but they don't hold up as well.
