Pros & Cons

Pros

This is the best shaver i ever used. What a close shave. Using the pre electric shaving or shaving cream definitely provided a closer shave than dry shaving.

Competitiveness


The irritation was only slight, but the competition gave me none, so the braun comes out on top here too.


Truly as good as its superb review in the nyt wirecutter article.


Even brand new, it didn't compare favorably to my 2-year-old panasonic.


For a while, i used hatteker rotary shavers.
