For starters I like the Philips razors and does not know the Braun so I can not compare. For cons, I had a Philips shaver before Williams and other Philips shavers before ... So for that PT923 / 20, shaving is always the same level as my former in its infancy. (Does not always equivalent to a straight razor that shaves closer.) The head pivots well and allows a less aggressive shaving. You can connect it directly to its charging cable or the charging stand that allows the passage of the law maintain razor (handy for storing in my bathroom cupboard). So I'm quite count. Only downside that explains the 3 stars, always spend several times to the same spot to shave properly ... like with my old Philips, except that my old Philips was not on Blades "TripleTrack" ... so the 'intake system is useless ... So compared to Philips - PT860S / 20, which is 30 less, I do not see the interest of the PT923 / 20 except Pivot, Flex & Float for a little more flexibility of the head ... but is it worth 30 more not sure ...
