Like me, but I was not convinced

Packaging and appearance

The Braun Series 7 799cc-7 shaver comes in a colorful and high-quality packaging. When packaging content can be found on the shaver itself in a hard sounds, the cleaning station with a cartridge and the charging cable and a brush for dry cleaning. See the razor itself, and the hard sounds and feel of high quality, although it is the razor is a plastic housing. While the cleaning station does not look cheap, but is in any case because of the color (black with small glitter) used to. The razor itself has a modern non-illuminated display, which displays the charge level and the degree of soiling. The degree of contamination is rather an estimate, which are measured in terms of operating time, as a "right" sensor. Once you put the shaver back into the cleaning station for cleaning, the contamination indicator is reset slowly.

Cleaning Station

The advantages of cleaning station consist in the simple cleaning. Here, interested parties must also consider the follow-up costs. If you consider how much you would spend on shaving cream and blades in wet shaving, the whole thing would qualify. The functionality, says the result, when cleaning the station has convinced me. The shaver comes out dry and smells like lemon. The downside, however, is to not muted station - this is very loud and thus annoying especially in the morning in the first 10-15 minutes. After the drying process, which runs silently begins. Only a very high barely perceptible buzz remains, but this can be ignored.

Shave

Now the most important thing: the shaving result could not completely convince me. Compared with my old seven year old razor (Panasonic ES8168S) I at least wanted the same Rasiergeschwindigkeit in the first line. Due to the very different price range and of course the age of the old razor I expected more. The result looked like that I would have to repeatedly go over the same spot with the Braun razor to get the same result as with Panasonic. After shaving, the skin was indeed very smooth, although you could well visually recognize the facial hair especially on the upper lip. Because the skin but was smooth, I could not do anything more with the razor.

Conclusion

In the shaver choice everyone must answer for themselves the question of what the priorities are. For me, those were definitely the thoroughness and the time that you have to apply for shaving. Having spent an average of up to 10 minutes by shaving with Braun and was not convinced with the result at 100%, it is unfortunately not for me.
