Appearance and operation
In the box you will find out the 740s-7 itself nor a stable, well-made transport case, power adapter, cleaning brush, oil and instruction manual.
The unit is externally almost entirely of plastic, with the material of the cartridge of a particularly hard and unbreakable variety is. The stem is covered up to the front with high grip rubber, so that the device is securely in your hand. The on / off button with your thumb as easily accessible as the sliding mechanism for lowering the long-hair trimmer. (The shaver has the way to the back contacts of a charging cradle - unfortunately does not provide with Brown.)
Below the housing you will find a total of five LED indicators for charging and battery condition, as well as the admonition to replace the shaving head (in series 7 in one piece). On the latter, I could do without, because shaving head or film hold in my experience usually longer than the prescribed 18 months - if the interlayer is not already clear before getting a hole (which, of course, immediately a replacement is due).
Properties and performance
Now the most important thing: The 740S-7 I come with my moderate, solid growth of facial hair in a relatively short time into a smooth result. The device is of shaving effect ago one of the best I ever had. One has to give the shaving head a few shaves time to grind up.
Getting used to the strong vibration of the shear system. My fears that the device also rough manner in accordance with the skin have not been confirmed. Even at maximum level, it comes with me to no redness or even injuries. However, the differences between the intensity levels are so low that the design complexity of adjustability in my view you could have saved.
Taste is the folding forward trimmer. If you previously had a razor in which the trimmer is extended over the cutting head up, you have to change. Poor construction is not, however, because both options have their advantages and disadvantages in terms of positioning and clarity. The fold-out mechanism, incidentally, was in my copy initially very stiff.
Like most linear shaver is also the 740s-7 quite noisy, with its noise is relatively high frequency. My morning wake-up radio, I must in any case make a little louder than my old series. 5
As one removes completely the shaving head, cleaning with tapping or washing is very simple.
The battery lasts a long time - I come despite a tough beard and high demands made on the shaving more than a week without recharging.
Conclusion
With the 740s-7 Brown offers a decent razor upscale class. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a well-functioning instrument with no frills. My hard facial hair I get so great grip, and also for a particularly smooth result I do not need too much patience.
Total is considering the price tag, although perhaps not on enthusiasm, but definitely satisfaction. Therefore, I give solid four stars ****.
