Across the series 5, he has become 10 percent heavier and has gained even 2cm in girth. The trimmer has become considerably narrower and the 6-cornered cross holes of the shaving foils have also become smaller, thus more holes could be placed in the film.
The device is weighty in the hand and the controls are easy to operate with your thumb. The vibration of the Synchro Sonic technology you can feel a little less than that of the 5-series shaver. The sound is also quieter, but corresponds to the massive device.
In my daily about 3 minute dry shave this device Series 9 achieved something lengthy the same result as the 5-series shaver. The additional "Hyper Lift & Cut Trimmer" not for me does not work, even with the brown tips "before washing, against the grain", but Amazon can be found so fine tweezers. The MultiHeadLock switch works, but not in quite smooth skin pulled it snaps always back into other positions. When compared with its competitors, such as the Panasonic ES-LV65 allows the Braun technology still improve and we can look forward to more innovations.
When foam shaving the result with the Brown's 9040s much better here and the razor is advisable. He delivers a thorough and satisfactory shave. The wet use makes no problems and cleaning of slightly built shaving head is really only possible wet.
Conclusion: This Braun Series 9 9040s wet + dry shaver delivers during wet-shaving from a very good result, while it is only satisfactory for dry-shaving. So if you just look for a wet razor and even makes short trips, is served well with the 9040s Braun. A more thorough and thereby also time faster result delivers the even better in your hand Panasonic ES-LV65. Taking all things together could not convince me all the Braun shaver.
