Braun Series 7 799cc-7 Wet & Dry Electric Shaver with cleaning station (1 cleaning cartridge) (Health and Beauty)

Customer Review

Often (in the read me reviews about this product) Braun shaver compared to Philips shaving. The whole is now hyped in advertising and fought with high-paying advertisers. The direct comparison of the two razor is only of limited use, like this, like comparing a Formula 1 driver with a football coach ... Rather, these are totally opposite concepts Shaving basis:

Braun manufactures classic foil shaver, Philips rotary shaver. Both have quite its meaning, but also must match the user. If not so copes, the matter was simply not worth their money.
And the advance: inexpensive is neither solutions. And Stiftung Warentest also noted that cheaper manufacturers also provide good results. And a wet shave is still the most thorough shave. So much for the hard facts.

For years I've foil shaver (mostly brown) used'm now also switched times on wet and was now at the new acquisition before the question: foil or rotary shaver?

My hair swirled above the neck require a rotary shaver, the facial area, and especially under the nose a foil shaver is much easier, because narrower. A rotary shaver has with his three shaving heads but already not inconsiderable extent, under the nose gets a normal grown man hardly every three rotiererenden shaving heads along without bringing the upper lip with the game.

I was lucky enough to be able to test the Philishave and now know that the principle does not work for me. For other already.
Therefore, there is no right or wrong, no good or bad, but rather a fit or or does not fit. The quiet, but high-frequency hum of the Philishave I stopped only for a device fault, until I noticed (and Nachlas) that this is normal. The Brown buzzing loud but sonorous. A matter of taste. The cleaning station from Philishave other hand looks a lot cooler than the von Braun. The shaving of the Philishave I can not really objectively evaluate, because I just do not get along with the principle. After a short test phase I therefore returned the Philishave.
Now to the actual product:
Von Braun it is generally nice design usual, otherwise Apple would indeed here with other products not so obvious "bonds" taken [...]. The cleaning station does not fall entirely understandable because visually but a bit off. But they erfeut so that you hold every morning a freshly cleaned, lemon scented razor in his hands. This means that the follow-up costs in the form of cleaning cartridges are ensured. For completeness, it should be mentioned that you can also manually clean. Except for a few Tröpchen oil every few weeks missing the device in the case nothing. Lemons You can even make next ...
The shaver is great in the hand, makes optical ago what that button is exactly in the right place and a built-up trimmer is also available, would be in the price category otherwise also a joke.
The most important thing: the shaving performance. For me, (so) better than the Philishave, about as good as my previous (significantly cheaper) foil shaver. You have to go over each area several times (unlike the advertising), otherwise it will not just smooth. About the vertebrae above I make the rotiererende movements themselves with satisfactory results even without rotary shaver. A wet shave with the Braun is also possible, the result of gentle but not thorough. The skin then feels for a short time only on smooth, because you just additionally had shaving cream on the skin. If it is to be really slick, then it must become a genuine wet shaving. But who in everyday life for more time and leisure?

Conclusion: The machine is good, even better marketing, the follow-up costs by manually cleaning at least bypassed. Anyone looking for a good foil shaver, is hereby at least well served. However, the regular price is a blast, here you should seriously think about the words of the Stiftung Warentest: Also Cheap scissor well. Before about it be clear whether there should be a slide or rotary shaver. And if it is possible: to test beforehand and then decide! Of conviction.
