Then the old part first carefully laid aside! Mounted for the worst-case scenario and the new shear head with the shaving foil.
In fact, the long-standing Messerblock a kind of "second shearing blade" given way.
The running noise was different - as already noted by others - easily accessible from the old version (!).
In order to form my own opinion, I have my first only one side of the face shaved and was pleasantly surprised by the result. Nothing to remember of irgend'ner bad shaving, tweet, skin irritations and God knows. Shaving went back and fix vonstatten was a significant improvement to the state before the exchange. So - then dismantled the thing again, old shaving head in with a new shaving foil and then the other half of the face was my turn. In my view, was not so here shaving, rinse, which may be due to a new shaving foil with 'nem worn out shaving head stop but can not bring great power.
Meanwhile, I have the part used daily for two weeks, and even extra-time 'let me NEN 2-day beard, time to test out the shaving performance. No problems! The modified design of the shaving head and I could not read the reviews here, so I probably would not even have noticed.
I think that I have a "normal average beard" (there's certainly not * grin *), now remove me for about 30 years the stubble with Braun shavers different generations from the face and admit that I do not one of those people who set an Outlook appointment and on time after 12 or 18 months Replace the shaving head, just because somewhere as a recommendation it says. The thingy I replace when my shaving time is toooo long, because I all umpteen times over it must, or when (as now) adopted the shearing blade.
So I did not expect anything else than a more thorough shaving performance and shorter shaving time by the exchange - and I got! Whether this improvement would now failed again apparent when it had the old blade block even given my knowledge evades frankly.
"Only" 4 instead of 5 stars there's me, not because I was unhappy with the shaving performance, but because I believe that this new "Second-shear blade held-ordinary Knife Block" will wear -Ersatzteil probably actually faster and I can not understand why the good Braun risked their reputations here, just to save a few cents in production.
Anyway, I will operate my Synchro still as long as permitted by its battery life, because the newfangled ultrasonic, Reinigungskartuschen- and other (marketing) stuff I can not get anything!
White actually anyone know what THERE are installed for shaving heads (in the original with 'nem new shaver)? Even the good old knife blocks or even this "diameter foil substitute"?
I have no doubt that a daily disinfected razor (the price of the stuff remind me somehow of ink cartridges for inkjet printers) 'ne thing is clean and always "smells good" - but I will not be talked out of the Braun company that I without selbiges feature would be a piglet and permanent skin irritation and rashes should have in the face because I my shaver "only" by tapping and by brush will clean ;-) (because I had never in the past).
Long story short: I am happy with the product!
