I took this razor for travel (home, I like to shave with a razor blade and shaving brush medium forelock). Excluding badger shed hair if it is not bound to a support, forelock down and contactless). for this reason, I changed my razor électrqiue trip, and I do not regret, this Braun M90 has a gate which is well protected by the plastic cover that locks into position. He shaves very well (I have not tried toutfois on a stubble). The small razor on the side for the legs is also handy. Obviously, he still tends to irritate a little fragile skin, but much less than my old travel razor (philips 2 rotary heads). This leaves mainly PIUR me a travel razor, as the name suggests. This shaver uses 2 AA batteries (Duracell with mine), Braun is not mocked its customers ... I have no intention of trying with batteries.
