To start with, I actually bought this model and have used it. I'm saying this because before buying I looked at a lot of reviews (of many electric shavers) and some are just bizarre. Makes me wonder if they were written by competitors. Anyway, I bought this on a 1/2 price promotion, nice! The shave is very light and smooth (comparing with the popular Braun series 3 3040) yet shaves very comfortably. You could be mistaken by thinking it's not cutting as it is so light, but it glides easily and picks up every hair surface without a struggle. Okay, if you are someone who prefers a grittier shave, then maybe the Crocodile Dundee knife would be more to your liking. This is a fine shaver and at a bargain price at the time I bought it.

I recently bought this machine and this is the first machine I've had with an associated charging/cleaning station. I have previously used Braun shavers for years, but these were not cleaned in this way. Then I wonder about this: The machine was delivered with 1 pc. Braun Clean & Renew, and according to the manual, the machine must be cleaned after each use. Then the contents of the cleaning station will last for approx. 30 days. If I don't clean every day the contents will evaporate within 8 weeks. This kind of fabric is very expensive to buy new, and I wonder if this type of cleaning is necessary. Online, it is also possible to buy a type of powder which, however, must be mixed with some type of ethanol.

What do I risk by maintaining the machine without using the cleaning station. Will it then have a limited lifespan? Will the machine have a longer life if I use a cleaning spray and shower my head after each cleaning under water?

I had read many reviews about the Braun Series 7 and most were positive. Some negative. I love this shaver….it is quiet and gentle and fast. I have used Braun shavers for 30 years and always been happy a apart from the last one a series 8, the battery died after 2 years 1 month. So went to a Remington which was ok but the series 7 is a quantum leap better. I hope the quality opts back to what it was in the past. I have 2 negatives 1) the cleaning centre - why does it have the silly long pole (yes I know it is something can be charged) but hpwhy have the charging at the end and not at the side as I the past. 2) there is no integral trimmer you have to buy it as an add-on and take the shaving head off to clip this on. So inconvenient. Still recommend this shaver.

I bought this for my husband. He was using the one blade razor (yellow/green handle) but was getting really bad ingrown hairs with it. He's in the military so we decided to splurge on an electric razor. He uses it every morning he works (5 days a week) and he's had no complaints about it. We bought it 9.5 months ago and he only just now asked to get a replacement head (much better than the Philips one blade needing a replacement head much more frequently). Everything has been working fine still (cleaning station, charging). Maybe the recommended 18 months to replace the blades is when not being used the majority of the week. The charging/cleaning station also looks decent on the counter
I received the Braun Series 6 shaver through promotion and was curious to see how it would differ from the three-head corded Philishave I’ve had for 20 years. The box was well laid out with the key features on the front, being that the shaver is sensitive on skin and has the SensoFlex head. I also noted that the shaver was 100% waterproof which was a pleasant surprise. The side of the box had a combination of pictographs and text explaining the features in more detail, but with minimal words. In comparison so far with my Philishave, the Braun wins on the fact that it is rechargeable, cordless, has a swiveling head, and appears to have some ability to be upgraded with different heads. Interesting… Inside the box were a carry case, cleaning brush, charger and the ... MoreI received the Braun Series 6 shaver through promotion and was curious to see how it would differ from the three-head corded Philishave I’ve had for 20 years.

I also noted that the shaver was 100% waterproof which was a pleasant surprise. The side of the box had a combination of pictographs and text explaining the features in more detail, but with minimal words. In comparison so far with my Philishave, the Braun wins on the fact that it is rechargeable, cordless, has a swiveling head, and appears to have some ability to be upgraded with different heads. Interesting… Inside the box were a carry case, cleaning brush, charger and the shaver itself (in my favourite colour: red). I immediately reached for the instructions (because I’m a Tech Writer and love looking at instructions). As I read through the pictorial instructions I scratched my head at some of them. I couldn’t quite understand what some of them meant, but after looking at them for a bit I eventually got what the diagrams meant. After charging the shaver for the recommended time of one hour (for a 50 minute shave time!) I was ready to go. In comparison to this point with the Philishave, the pack contents weren’t that different. I’m a pretty fair-haired type of guy, with not a lot of thick facial hair. You could say I was a bit of a ginger nut on the beard while being blondish on top. I don’t use any fancy shaving oils or anything like that. Just a shaver on skin. Normally before a shower because for me it seems to make for a closer cut. I found that with the Philishave’s three-head design, I found it had difficulty lifting the hairs on my neck if they were a little bit longer. I also found some problems with getting a close shave when my “beard” was a day old. I think there wasn’t much to grab onto so I ended up with a rough-to-the-touch finish, which was not satisfying. I powered up the Series 6 and the speed of the shaver was about twice the RPMs compared with the Philishave. This thing really hums! The motor speed reminded me of the speed of a buzz-cutter I use when I have to do my Number 3 cut at home on my head hair. I started to work down my cheek to get some of the longer curlies that were growing. The Series 6 cut them off like a lawnmower. I didn’t feel like I had to make too many passes to get a smooth finish. Because the head is flat, not triangular, it was easy to line up the sideburn level I wanted compared with the Philishave. I think the centre trimmer blade which is recessed below the cutline of the foils did its job perfectly by trimming the longer hairs before it reached the second foil. Nice one! Onto the problematic neckbeard, and the SensoFlex swivel head really seemed to follow the contours of my face more than the fixed head of the Philishave. I didn’t feel like I had to press the shaver into my face as much as I did on the 20-year-old Philishave. I had to do a couple of passes over the neck region to really get a baby-butt smooth sensation, but I would’ve been getting a shaving rash by now in comparison with the Philishave. The all-important “kid kiss test” passed with flying colours. The kids reckon that the shaver did a much better job and preventing the “spikey hairs” from getting them when I kissed them goodnight. Cleaning the shaver is easy. You soap up the head and run it under the hot tap to remove oils and hair, then take the replaceable blade assembly off and let the two halves dry. I also take the blade assembly off and GENTLY tap any hairs out into the basin before rinsing, but this is not suggested in the manual (just a habit I got into with the Philishave). The instruction manual shows a picture of a male figure with a red box around the sensitive groin area. The manual seems to recommend that you use the 06-BDT trimmer attachment. I didn’t get this included in the kit (it is sold separately) to work in this area, but given how good the experience was on my face, I decided to throw caution to the wind and just try it out anyway. I was a little bit nervous because the Philishave had a tendency to bite in that area. It either ripped out hairs or didn’t do well with the tight folds of skin generally found on a bloke's bits. The blades will trim hairs down there, but I suggest either getting the recommended attachment or doing a pre-trim with a hair-trimmer fitted with a 3mm skin guard to make the job faster. I used the SensoFlex directly on all cylindrical and curved surfaces below the belt, including the perilous centre line, and had absolutely no bites from the SensoFlex blades. When they say “for sensitive skin” they aren’t kidding. The important thing to consider when buying a shaver is consumable costs. Blades need to be replaced eventually, and the Braun Series 6 is no exception. The recommended replacement interval is 18 months, and a google search found a Series 6 head for about A$45. This is about the same consumable cost for my Philishave heads so it is a comparable interval and cost of ownership. Based on my experience with the shaver, I think I’m jumping ship and ditching the Philishave. You have served me well old buddy but the features of the Braun Series 6 make it hard to hang onto you.
I was replacing a series 7 that I had for over 15 years which was fantastic (but sadly met it's demise). I figured series 7 is what I had, I will just get the same thing. Don't make the same mistake I did. It will shave your face don't get me wrong, but it will take you over 5 minutes to come close when my old series 7 would have me with a baby face in less than 60 seconds. Even after about 24 hours of not using it, it can barely shave my face. Under my chin is always a mess no matter how long I try to shave it. I have cut my lip a few times just shaving normally. I keep my sideburns clear without the trimmer since I am not actually trimming. However, if I use the razor, I give my sideburns a fade... Essentially, if you are going out of an old school series 7, get a ... MoreI was replacing a series 7 that I had for over 15 years which was fantastic (but sadly met it's demise).

There are three issues with this razor that I did not have with my previous Series 7, which lasted several years and gave a great shave. First, there is no more built in trimmer. Now you need to pop the shaving head off and put on a separate head that contains the trimmer. So now if you run across a long hair on your face, you can no longer just flip up the trimmer and cut it off. Now you have to pop the shaving head off, with hair getting all over the place of course, and pop on the trimmer. Then you have to remember where on your face you saw the long hair. Then to finish your shave, you need to pop off the trimmer again and pop on the normal shaving head. Just a small annoyance, but a noticeable one. Second, you can't just pop the shaver into the cleaning station ... MoreThere are three issues with this razor that I did not have with my previous Series 7, which lasted several years and gave a great shave.

Then to finish your shave, you need to pop off the trimmer again and pop on the normal shaving head. Just a small annoyance, but a noticeable one. Second, you can't just pop the shaver into the cleaning station and charge it without having to turn the cleaning function on. The previous series 7 base did not have this issue, it would charge as soon as you put it into the station regardless if you wanted to clean your razor or not. I generally don't clean the razor after every use because you go through the cleaning fluid a lot faster that way. Third and most annoying issue of this new razor is that the shaving head pops off frequently during shaving! I've used this razor probably 40 times, and the head has popped off at least 10 of those times. Each time as it happens, I jab myself in the neck with the exposed prongs under the head, and then the head itself falls on me or to the sink, leaving hair shavings everywhere! One time the center piece of the head actually broke apart and I had to click it back together. Needless to say, I'm returning this unit for something other than a Braun. It's hard to believe that a design flaw like this was allowed into production, and I'm not the only one that has experienced this issue from what I see online.
I'll start by saying a lot of the reviews I've seen here have been discussing the fact that instructions aren't included and comments about the fact there is no heater/dryer in the base.First off there is literally only 1 button on the shaver and 1 button on the base (outside of the base ejection button for swapping the cleaning juice). If you struggle with this shaver then there are likely bigger problems in your life. This is very simple shaver that seriously needs no instructions.As for the base always launching the cleaning cycle when you only want to charge the shaver... the shaver battery lasts over an hour. My shaves take approximately 5 minutes. That means I could shave, without the need for charging, or cleaning the shaver 12 times. If after 12 shaves ... MoreI'll start by saying a lot of the reviews I've seen here have been discussing the fact that instructions aren't included and comments about the fact there is no heater/dryer in the base.First off there is literally only 1 button on the shaver and 1 button on the base (outside of the base ejection button for swapping the cleaning juice).

My shaves take approximately 5 minutes. That means I could shave, without the need for charging, or cleaning the shaver 12 times. If after 12 shaves you still don't want to clean the shaver then I don't know what to tell you other than you might want to consider evaluating your hygiene habits. Also, the cleaning solution/juice if not used will evaporate, so you might as well use it. I run the cycle after about 3-4 shaves and the next day it's dry and ready to go.Now for the real review...I previously owned a 5 series Braun many years back and more recently owned a 9 series Braun about 3 years ago. I also have owned/tried Remington, Philips, Manscape, and Wahl shavers in the last 3 years so I have a lot of experience and by far this is better than every shaver I have tried, including the 9 series and I'll explain why.First off, my 9 series broke about 3 years ago only 4 months after purchasing it. The trimmer failed to run; the rest of the shaver still functioned. Anyway, I dealt with the customer service and found it lacking. I mailed the shaver off and after calls asking the status, they told me to be patient. 2 months later I moved, lost my USPS tracking receipt, and finally the Braun customer service acknowledged they didn't have the shaver and asking for shipping confirmation. I no longer had the receipt so I couldn't prove I mailed it. $300 down the drain.So, for the next few years I avoided Braun products. I tried many others and finally gave up and settled with disposable shavers. I seen this sale after all this time and decided to try this shaver/Braun again.The motor on this shaver is louder and more powerful than the 9 series I remember. The attachments are easy to swap and use. I found the lack of an in-built trimmer a little frustrating as it takes a bit of time to swap heads. A small sacrifice as the trimmer itself is leaps and bounds stronger than the 9 series in-built shaver and far easier and more precise to use.Now onto a more sensitive topic, trimming of more delicate parts of the body. My god, this shaver has blown me away and establishes its true value here. The included beard/stubble trimmer attachment, normally meant for beards, has been a godsend for that area and blows Manscape products out the water. Honestly Manscape products are far overrated, and I found before this shaver, a Wahl cordless shaver with the correct guide to be much better.The Stubble and Beard trimmer was better than every product I've ever tried, and I can easily say with confidence that there is absolutely nothing better. This was the first shave I ever had that didn't tear me to shreds and cause excessive bleeding there. The shave is also faster as the newfound confidence allows me to shave without worry of nicks. While I will say it did nick once, the nick was barely noticeable or felt and didn't bleed. A serious gamechanger. The included guides that were notches of 1, 2, or 3 wereadditions nice but a close trim is possible without worry with guide 1. Seriously, this attachment should be marketed completely differently as it's outstanding. I'm speaking again of the Beard and Stubble Trimmer with 2 notch 1 guides, not the Precision Trimmer attachment as I would be far too scared to use that attachment down there. Also, while the Beard and Stubble trimmer is attached you can still run the cleaning cycle when the shaver is inserted into the base! Honestly that was an amazing discovery as the ability of having that attachment cleaned by the base, especially after shaving in that area, was a huge win for hygiene.On to the real purpose of this shaver, your face... It does a great and thorough job but requires many passes. This shaver shines in giving this quality shave without pulling or nicks. It rivals disposable shaver shaves without the irritation. The requirement of some extra passes is worth it. The 9 series did provide a faster shave as it required fewer passes of the same area, but it did not provide a better shave. The difference being the 9 series is almost 2 - 2.5x as expensive and has a far worse trimmer, no beard and stubble trimmer which again shines where you would least expect it to and had suspect reliability.I have given this product 4 stars as the customer service, if you ever need it, is lacking and I’ll likely always have a chip on my shoulder towards Braun for simply making me purchase a shaver to replace a shaver they lost. Going beyond that, while it somewhat pains me to say, this shaver is better than any product on the market, including Brauns 9 series and offers incredible value for the quality and versatility it provides as it can replace EVERY single product in your entire home in one solution.
Was very excited to put the Brain Series 7 to the test to compare against my 10 year old shaver.Upon opening the box, i can see that it comes with your standard cleaning brush and a beautiful shaving case that makes this perfect to take on the go or when travelling. The product itself is lightweight which makes it great and easy on the wrists.A quick charge and viewing the maintenance indicators on the front of this product was a really nice touch. One that I didn’t know I needed until now. I appreciated this detail on the product that allows me to see the status and charge on the product so I’m never left in a predicament of a shaver dying half way. (It’s happened to me way too often!)What I really liked was the 360o flex head on this that made moving this up ... MoreWas very excited to put the Brain Series 7 to the test to compare against my 10 year old shaver.Upon opening the box, i can see that it comes with your standard cleaning brush and a beautiful shaving case that makes this perfect to take on the go or when travelling.

(It’s happened to me way too often!)What I really liked was the 360o flex head on this that made moving this up and down on the different areas of my face a breeze. I trialled this both wet and dry and here is where I think it delivers and under delivers. On wet use, I was left underwhelmed. It did the job but no different to what my current one does. I found I had to go over the same areas a few times to get an even and close shave. The pro is that it is definitely handy being able to use it wet. When it came to using dry, it was much better. It gave a clean shave and less repetition but again, found that it didn’t give the closest shave.For the price of this product it sure comes with some amazing features like the indicator, wet and dry use, adaptive system, quick charge and auto sense technology. The only improvement id like to make this product 5 stars would be to have the blades get a closer shave. Overall, still recommended. The features alone were worth the price.
To preface this:I've been using Braun electric shavers for 30 years, and always thought they were some of the best you could buy.This new 7 series is the worst one I've ever purchased or used, and if I had kept the box for it, I'd be returning it.The ergonomics aren't as friendly to larger hands, or anyone with arthritis or tendonitis. They went from a wide body/handle that was easy to grip and maintain control, to a skinny body similar to the Philips/Norelco shavers.The effectiveness and efficiency of the shaver, and head and foil in particular, is so much worse than any older model I had. I have to wonder who designed this, and why nobody noticed that these heads and foil designs do NOT work nearly as well as the old shavers.If you have anything longer ... MoreTo preface this:I've been using Braun electric shavers for 30 years, and always thought they were some of the best you could buy.This new 7 series is the worst one I've ever purchased or used, and if I had kept the box for it, I'd be returning it.The ergonomics aren't as friendly to larger hands, or anyone with arthritis or tendonitis.

I have to wonder who designed this, and why nobody noticed that these heads and foil designs do NOT work nearly as well as the old shavers.If you have anything longer than stubble, it's going to miss...a LOT. You can spend 10 minutes shaving and going back over every spot on your face in every direction, and you'll still find errant hairs or clumps of several hairs that you missed. Try to directly target those, and you'll be lucky if it gets them.When I first got this, I thought it felt great and did a great job. That was until I had more than stubble. Now, I use a guardless Wahl clippers to shave longer facial hair before finishing with the Braun. Mind you, I'm not talking about beard-length hairs. My previous Brauns had no problems with these hairs.This one is too inefficient and takes too much time and effort to "get everything" without having to use a blade for final detailing.If I had bought their lowest model, I could see it maybe not being as effective as the better models. But I chose this one because there are only 1 or 2 models better, and this one had the '360 Flex' design for the head that I wanted.This might be the last Braun I buy if this is the way their design is going. I'm highly disappointed.
