Caveat: I shave for about 35 years (99% dry) and have since about 7 Philips and now acquired the third Braun shaver. For 12 years, I have a second home (work-related) and thus always a direct comparison between two razors. Fundamental difference, and advantages: Brown: rock solid execution, unbreakable Philips: has long washable shaving heads, so far clearly better shaving performance. After my first razor (Brown), who would probably never broke down, however, after about 5 years replaced by a Philips (considerably better shaving performance, even if you Also taken into account the new shear blade), and as the next model in Philips shaving head also was washed off, my "Rasierleben" was eigendlich "facing north" on Philips. However, only the first two shaver from Philips were also the longevity akzepabel (the first was broken after 5 or 6 years, the second would be to replace Razor still be alive today if he had not lost in moving chaos). Because the next four Philips models (all with very good Rasierergebnissen) always finally gave up the ghost shortly after the warranty period or after a maximum of three years, I once again bought a brown to me before about 6 years, since even without the problems in the second home is serving. However, only the 5-er series, it must be said here that the used home Philips Senso Touch significantly better shaving results brought. Now that this Senso Touch is completely failed again after 1.5 years (is all spilled, you can only keep it), I have now tried the 720 von Braun, finally washable. Incredibly, for the first time almost as good shaving as the Philips and still quality in your hand (in the hope that you this in five years also can not say), in each case compared to the Senso Touch mindestes triple Quality Feeling (alllerdings opposite the old 5-Braun only about 80%). Should this shaver persevere 5 years or more, is my Rasierleben "brown".
