Braun Activator 8595 (8000'er series ca.2002) vs. Series 9 9090cc 2015

Hello everybody,

the text is long, but I wanted to go into the details.

I dare to switch from Braun Activator, who has been with me 12 years on the Braun Series 9 9090cc.
I have to change because the shell is broken by the Activator and unfortunately there is no more spare parts.

Anticipation was told that I give a buy recommendation but nevertheless I am very disappointed because my expectations for the top model is high.
Why? The Series 9 shaved very good and better than the old but somehow Brown has already developed features not in the current series transferred.
But read for yourself ...

To my shaving behavior: daily and thus actually no longer whiskers.

Preliminary model customer, only someone who knows the difference can decide!
================================================== ========
The Series 9 at a glance, because there is a wide range of models here not quite manageable because Series 9 Series 9 is not the same !!

CC-models are equipped with cleaning station
- 9095cc wet & dry
Cleaning station, multifunction display, Released for wet and dry shaving (but only with water, no foam!), Because of the "Wet" function in the shower but not be used directly on the power cord (safety).

- 9090cc
Cleaning station, multifunction display, Released for dry shaving, can be used directly on the power cord.

- 9075cc, 9070cc, 9050cc (here I could not detect any differences in accordance with the instructions, I suspect versions of different countries, if one has more information I will gladly submit)
Cleaning station, not a multifunction display, Released for dry shaving, can be used directly on the power cord.

S models are without cleaning station, these models need to be cleaned manually and maintained with separate oil
- 9040s Wet & Dry
no cleaning station, not a multifunction display, Released for wet and dry shaving (incl. foam!), because of the "Wet" function in the shower but not be used directly on the power cord (safety).

- 9030S
no cleaning station, not a multifunction display, Released for dry shaving, can be used directly on the power cord.

It amazes me that I must not be used with foam, but in wet shave with water only the upper class model 9095cc Wet & Dry, I think this is because it would not get the cleaning station with the foam quite clear ?! Multifunction display in combination with the possibility of foam shave there is not so.
Under running water (without plugged cable network cable) all shaver may be cleaned, are intended to prevent the cleaning station but dry, so that the cleaning liquid is not contaminated by water, otherwise the cleaning properties would deteriorate, I think.

Personally, I believe that the shaver 9095cc Wet & Dry worse slides in the wet shave with water only on the skin as dry or with foam. But everyone must decide for themselves, but Brown has indeed all the different versions and even tried I did not.

I opted for the 9090cc, because I, as a technique was the last nine minutes remaining indicator have junkie and I want the shaver may necessarily operate by power cord, since I only once a week put the shaver in the cleaning and then ever not answer Laden thought.
And when I'm stressed out in the morning I do not want to wait for 5minutes Laden.

## - But now at last for comparison: - ##
Power cord must be plugged in the correct direction
==========================================
Here beats the old Activator the new Series 9 The cable when Activator is designed so that you can plug it in every direction, which I found always practical, since you did not have to pay on it where the top and bottom.
The new Series 9 there by a groove, a defined up and down and you have to look before it before it is inserted.
??? Why is it no longer exists, so a botch ???? (Pictures to follow this shortly)

The power cord is as usual for both the razor and the cleaning station.

Shaving foil has improved!
============================
What a whopper, the Series 9 shaving head is huge, which never fits between the mouth and nose, was my first thought and is true. But after the first shave is no more drama, as are important in their daily shaving at this point only the outer shearing foil and as you come with a good clear. The panic so unnecessary.
Well, I think that you can fix the Series 9 instead of 1 is equal to 5 different positions, that is at different points on the face quite handy. The arrest could be a little stronger but quiet, with a little more pressure overcomes the resistance to the shave ever.

The Series 9 is between the sheets next to the hook for a long whiskers additional Hyper Lift & Cut Trimmer raise the tight-fitting hair and cut to, so the head is so huge. At the central units, I can actually say little, because the expected only a 3days Bart play to their strengths.
The Series 9 shaving head to work but felt and visibly better than the films from the Activator, the whole feels gentle and the beard is cut shorter, the cheeks are really, really smooth.

Whether this is now the new shaving foils Design or to the "resource units" in the shaving head I can not estimate, I do not care in the end, only the result counts!
Definitely an improvement for Activator!

The advertised SyncroSonic technology that can swing the shaving head side of the Activator had incidentally already. Maybe not with 40,000 cutting motions a minute but again is not the feature.
Beautiful as Brown old wine poured into new wineskins.

Protective cap for shaving head there is no longer
=========================================
The Series 9, unlike the Activator and although the Series 9 is loose inside no cap in the zippered pocket. Must the shaving head are about no longer protected ??
The Activator has a cap and is this in the package also absolutely verwackelungssicher.
Here a cap would have given me a better feel.

New Trimmer is shorter and is worse
================================================== =
The Series 9 also has a trimmer now, however, is on the back, you have to turn the shaver so only.
The whole unit is but shorter and the cutting blades are much shorter, so the short hair are difficult to capture. Before, I could just cut in an attempt to transition to the Kottletten, now I have to repeatedly attach and correctly so press the hair gets trimmer.
I find that impractical, even here the Activator is better than the new Series. 9
(I wanted to insert pictures subsequently but I can not find a button to the photographs you can see the shorter diameter well.)

Cleaning Station
=================
The new station is different in design and in the drying process.
Good news: the old cartridge that I still can I use with the new on, there are the same, so I have nothing to throw away! Very good Brown!

What I find funny is, however, the drying method. My "old" Activator was dried and thus silently by induction, the Series 9 has a fan which, although quiet but audible hum during the drying phase.
Nevertheless, I found the Induktionstrockung without noise better. Faster on the 10minutes it then also not to.

The cleaning performance is still good and I would recommend any one model with cleaning station, after which the razor always feels like new, a comfort that I would not have missed for years.
A result that is not achieved only by brushing alone.

Tip: good tapping and once with the brush achievable stubble from shaving head and brush holder before using the cleaning station. So we extended the quality of the cleaning, the more stubble should be removed by the station, the faster "Sifft" to the liquid.

After cleaning in the station of the razor by the way, continues to be loaded automatically and do not require any special connected.

Multifunction display
===================
There is nothing new but this one has left a lot away:

Braun Activator 8595
+ Remaining time as a bar in the form of a battery and the last nine minutes as numbers
+ Cleaning memory
+ Information about the product name of the replacement films
+ Reminding for bladeset
+ Shave duration of the last shave
+ Number of previously performed shaves
- + If empty then -EMPTY- display, the razor is still everything to really no more juice there is.

Braun Series 9 9090cc
+ Remaining time as a bar and the last nine minutes as numbers
+ Cleaning memory
- No information on the product name of the replacement films
- No change of memory for the blade set (the Series 7 with display has the way, why the Series 9 not)
- No shaving duration of the last shave
- Any number of previously performed shaves
- + If empty then Batterysymbol, the razor is still everything to really no more juice in there.

Unfortunately, a retrogression.
I find it a pity that the change memory and the product name of the shaving foil is no longer displayed, the rest (time and number) is only statistics for art friends who do not are missing.
Only on the manual there is a field where you can write the next change date manually.
FYI: The last 9 minutes does not appear in the other models without the "big" screen.

Conclusion
=====
The Braun Series 9 9090cc is a very good shaver of its cutting power and he is in the main discipline thus significantly improve the Activator since.
That's why I can not give to change a recommendation, I am very satisfied!

But due to the already good performance of the Activator I have high expectations and am disappointed that so many good details of Activators are fallen by the wayside, because I 9 expected from the current large Series more because here but be the best model at the start should, right?

Whether designers have forgotten the details over the years, one intentionally operates a demolition in favor of the costs or want to present these later times as "redevelopment" I let times be open to the room.

Whether one necessarily needs the multi-function display, I do not know the value to the nine minutes seem to be small but my Activator had the display already and I'm just a creature of habit me.

What remains is a better shave, so you have to accept the missing features, which remains an alternative then? This creates the point deductions and leaves a disappointed customer !!

Others
===========
Since I use the Philips 9000 Series S9711 / 31 have also, I am often asked what is now because better it I can give only one answer: No !!
In accessories, both razors differ, Philips brings an adjustable trimmer with, but which must first be set up, as you just have to look at what you need. Costs for currently a little more. The Philips takes much longer, however, for the drying, the additional features of the trimmer to give the Philips better points.
Both are from the shave very well and take nothing. The razors are but the handling just different and you have to look with which you are more familiar easy.
Here up and down movement encounters circular motion, the one like that, the others do, I can recommend both.
Here is my review for Philips:; ASIN = B00L196LGG

I hope to have you helped with the recession!
