The Braun Series 9 9090cc and I

Introduction, I would like to say firstly that I am convinced BRAUN-customer, since the sprouting beard. Of course you will always be influenced somewhat by the father, who had lived out my dry-shaving with Braun shavers. But even own test trips to another system (in the case of Philip the circle shear systems) were not convincing. With the wet shave, both by necessity with cheap disposable razors, as well as promotional gifts from brand manufacturers (in the way: so sharp that he or 5 blades for ultra-clean result + integrated aloe Reservoir Behind Bars) I unfortunately never really become warm. Interestingly, I had usually fewer problems with cuts but rather the fact that it tweeted with whiskers or the result was rather inconsistent for shaving chest I find these things, however, top ;-).
So point 1: BROWN is a very favorable response and familiar brand for me in the field of dry shaving.

Secondly, it is important what is my benchmark as an experienced BRAUN-dry shaver: I use very satisfied a Flex-integral 5444. Yes, I know, that corresponds to a dinosaur compared to the much higher developed Series-9 mammal! After all, I have this thing already puh over 10 years? No Idea. Probably even more clearly. So far, only the blades (halfway) replaced regularly and conducted a major overhaul. Slowly the first signs of fatigue come through unfortunately, the battery gives up the ghost, the switches for the Head-Lock / Trimmers hooked a little etc. But in an article of daily use is that, I think normal, and I must stress that the Shaving result is still top!
Logically, point 2: BROWN has me unfortunately very spoiled and my expectations of an ultra modern device are large.

But now the product itself!
After the parcel had wasted my delivery a bit I could take my personal gift of time in reception and make me unpack at the.
The first impressions mainly concern the design, functional design, instructions etc .:
The design tells me personally absolutely. Shaver itself and the accessories are kept in silver / chrome and black and have a pleasing shape. And blue LED light is available as a bonus with this, wonderful! The packaging (as a figurehead at the store) I find it very successful. She is a male-oriented sports-cool of the Produktbebilderung, simultaneously it also offers sufficient detailed information on the product performance is a must, because every purchaser of a high quality personal technical object already requested the relevant information on the packaging.
Point 3: The 9090cc looks great and beautifies any bathroom!

For functional design of the product, there are now a few illogical thought processes, I apologize for this and hope you can follow me anyway. The really smart shaver is taken on hand and there is a worse moment of disillusionment. But he is not made of silver or chrome, but of vile plastic. Somehow they had cool metal expected. Similarly, the Battery Charging / Cleaning Station lightweight functional plastic! It actually took me a while to me it seemed quite normal and logical, because the electrical appliances in the bathroom regularly in use and virtually fully be washed under water, would be a medium-term blunder probably with Full Metal Jacket.
A second small disappointment moment in these first impressions to the functional design concerned the weight and size of the razor and its accessories. I had above my old Flex Integral 5444 called dinosaurs of playing against the mammal modern times well, by weight and size, it seemed rather the opposite to me. In particular, the massive shaving head system with 4 shear elements of the Series 9, which makes the razor from her focus rather top-heavy, contributes to this impression. For the Battery Charging / Cleaning station one needs to have some space in the bathroom, which did not recur with the 5444. Finally irritates me the mounted on the back of the shaver and rather narrow guessed long-hair / precision trimmer, which must first be extended quite a distance, so that it extends beyond the regular shear system. Seems to me the first impression before impractical.
Well, I hope then times simply a gifted Brachiosaurus razor in the bathroom, but
Point 4: I'm a little skeptical about whether I can handle with the razor, because the functional design, positive appearance or not, is unfamiliar to me and does not appeal to me at first.

The guide, however, I find absolutely superb. They appear only thick at first. However, you soon realize that the fear to be bored with completely unnecessary bloated technical detail statements or to small steps outlined was completely unnecessary. The Series 9 Manual is pleasantly kept short and concise only just written a book in a variety different languages. A feature particularly worthy the leaflet as Erstseite the instructions. There is a photo in which all relevant instructions to-dos and not-to-dos from shaving, handling of the razor be brought home vividly to cleaning. One might even get along as 9 E-dry-shaving newcomer to the series right away, without having read a single word of the instructions.
Item 5: High praise for the guidance! So all instructions for technical equipment should be.

After the first impressions comes naturally more decisive real testing of the razor that (ie about 21 shaves :)) included 3 weeks. My testimony about the three weeks to tap the important from my point of view features and characteristics of a razor and accessories. I want to start with the most important from my point of view:
What is the shaving-quality?
At first I was in fact a little disappointed, I am - as already mentioned anyway begun with great expectations. The first shaves were compared to my dinosaur even less thoroughly, I had to repeatedly shave over areas until I was satisfied. With a 2 'Rugged tweeted it even that I did not know of my dinosaur! However, it turned out quickly: the man is known to be a creature of habit. I just had to change my Rasierstil because I was used with the Flex Integral 5444 rather lightly printed and many wrist adjustments (-> 90 ° angle to the skin + beard growth sightings) to plow through my face. With over 10 years of experience We are sorry for the pathetic humans and machines were merged, should I say knew practically in his sleep (ie the state at 5:30 clock to the usual shaving time not dissimilar) like me where quickly achieved in my face with this razor, the best results. I quickly had to get out, that the Series 9 a little more contact pressure needs yet less self rumwirbeln with the wrist and whoops: shaving was suddenly so thoroughly as ever! Also 2 -3 days beards were not a problem with the adapted technology for the Series 9. In retrospect, logically, that are 4 shear elements all highly flexible to adapt to the affected areas of the face to the first but must be able to feel the face. All in all, the quality of shaving comparable to the old razor, the details will follow immediately, it was only noted: I had just hoped that with the state of the art - razor of the Series 9 the hair follicles that one with me at ( very) close inspection still well below the skin may look a little less be clearly perceptible. Because the skin but with two razors is absolutely smooth, I have to see well that every beard is different, and for me it would probably only help in this point if I would roughen the top layer of skin with pumice before shaving. I let it out then prefer.
Prima of shaving quality compared to 5444, I found the surface areas of the face
Item 6: quality shaving for cheeks, neck and chin were even a bit better than the already good results with my old razor.

By contrast, the upper lip area is not available to evaluate a little bit weaker. The result is true in the end as well, but you need two, three Rasierzüge more to achieve it. Either I always cave wrong the Series 9 is locked (but here but also apply the 90 degrees, right?), But here or the massive 4x shaving head system is at a disadvantage compared to the narrower shaving head of the dinosaur (Flex Integral 5444). This has only a Haaraufrichter in the middle, ergo there are the two razor blades much closer than the Series 9 in which the lower blade does usually not used because of the shaving head is already slowed down the top of the nose. As far as I can tell this is my nose the way a normal size.
Point 7: The quality shaving for the upper lip area is also good, the area is not an easy walk through the massive shave shaving head system and you need quite a lot of features.

Finally, the long-hair trimmer / trimmer. Do you remember my fears at first impression. Exceptionally, who also finally confirmed, so actually even a really negative point for me! To be fair, I have to say though, that only the Nachrasieren neck I use the thing (the classic: hairdresser is 3 weeks ago and the neck loses so slowly shaved by barber contour), so I like sideburns breeders and Bart hairstyles lovers love disagree! However, for the above purpose in the neck the necessary inversion of the razor and the small trim area that protrudes slightly lost on the massive shaving head out, very inconvenient.
Item 8: Shaving quality of trimmer / trimmer is at least for the Nachrasieren neck poorly suited since Operation / angle to hakelig and the trimming area too small. With sideburns and beard hair styles which could however be different!

The second point I would like to answer the question about my experiences
How easy / comfortable is shaving?
On this point, I was honestly amazed! Although I must briefly again to point out that here too only after changing my usual Rasierstils it fully came to fruition, but this section is indeed the expected evolutionary quantum leap for comparison shaver (= dinosaur). The larger design of the Series 9 is as ergonomically due out, it is logically very well in the hand and the rubber-prone area on the sides, it is excellent grip. The operability of the individual switches / shaving head-locking / fine adjustment shaving head / reduction of elements / plugging into the charging station is self-explanatory and easily. Even the shaving head-heavy focus (see above) no longer falls on, because you have much less influence through its own angle corrections of the wrist shaving. The shaving head itself is much more flexible in the shaving head axis as the Flex-integral, also the 4 shear elements are movable in itself. These probably are also the effects of these ominous 10,000 micro-vibrations per minute (Sonic Technology) which again meet with smaller skin imperfections each Barthaaer as low as possible and as a result we have
Item 9: the great figurehead for me for the Series 9 -> absolutely comfortable and easy shaving by ergonomic handling and a shaving head system almost on autopilot

From the value for me is like the issue of simple / comfortable shave:
As the skin reacts to shaving?
I would describe myself as an average of sensitive skin type, although I get the winter by the irritated / dry skin every now and then a slight razor burn already, little stimulus pimples etc, but everything in moderation. With mild temperatures (such trial period) I almost never had any problems, so I do not dare to assert that apply tested my statements in this regard as well-founded. I shaved twice a 2-3 day growth of beard, (to bring a bit of fire in the matter :)) twice only half a day between shaves left. Despite the adjusted shaving technique with somewhat stronger pressure (or perhaps because of? Maybe I have therefore used less trains and the shaving head was reasonable on the face skin) I never had a negative skin reaction.
Item 10: (at mild temperatures) tend to seem the Series 9 to shave very gentle, it occurred in eingeschätzter medium sensitivity no skin irritations in the 3 weeks Add.

Finally, I would like to address the question as the last item:
What about the cleaning and care of the shaver?
The shaver is fully washable, recommended moderation with soap. A classic brush completes the normal cleaning methods that would be sufficient in principle. Perhaps it should be run as a minor nuisance that the shaving head system can not be disassembled / should, so that a direct mechanical cleaning any blind spot can not be done. This is a plus point again the fully automatic cleaning station (there is a nursing liquid pumped in several cycles based on alcohol by the razor, then dried by a small internal ventilation system of the razor) to name. For me as a cleaning muffle (I mentioned somewhere that my default shaving time is 5.30 clock? Then do you no intensive cleaning. Really. And in the evening you have forgotten it again) I have to say that this is really a great thing ! Since the shaver automatically its pollution degree also indicates exactly how this happens or how accurate that is in the long run, however, I can not judge it will be in a positive sense annoyed and by the technique that you can work for animated to clean the shaver regularly / maintain. A better shaving performance and longer life of the parts affected by wear and tear should be the result actually!
After an intensive cleansing shaving actually seems to run more smoothly. Perhaps playing their brain as a one go, after all, the blades are still fairly new and should also in conventional cleaning still good shave.
Item 11: The cleaning and care is especially very easy and also seems extremely thoroughly / to be gerätzuträglich. The price for it is portable and space-intensive follow-up costs razor-Burg
Finally, I would like to mention an important thing, you call it point 12, if you like, or the word on Sunday of this review. The original price of Braun 9090CC is for each average earning a real number! Personally, I find the value for money borderline in terms of a possible replacement of my proven Flex Integral 5444. I can tell even the improvements in terms of the Series 3, 5 or 7 (all part now considerably cheaper). An important factor would be the longevity and processing of the device, but in the test period of three weeks I personally can not be judged legitimate. Should BRAUN but a similarly indestructible device as my current model have created that 10+ years was able to complete his daily service then the price would not be a deterrent in the sense that at least one has long what of this investment.
