For almost 5 years I have a shaver Braun Series 7 with cleaning station. Its cutting system I have renewed for the first time after 2 years and then for the second time after 1 1/2 years. Just one year after the second renewal of the shear system turned to me again dissatisfaction with the shaving result. The shaving head and the upper part of the razor saw after only about 2 to 3 years by Oberflächenabplatzungen and unsightly discolorations, which were probably caused by the alcoholic liquid the cleaning cartridge in the cleaning station.
Held for the third time to buy a new shaving system, I ordered the newly released Shaver Braun Series 9 9090cc. The shaving so I felt quite as pleasant. Partly, but nevertheless also to minor skin injuries with me. The shaving result did not satisfy me and my opinion was not noticeably better, maybe even a bit worse than with my old Braun Series 7 Therefore I sent him back.
After the experience gained and encouraged by a 30-day return option of the manufacturer, I ordered the shaver Panasonic ES-LV95-S803.
The shaving results surprised me: The shaving is quicker and the skin feels much smoother than I knew it so far!
I feel a distinct advantage over previous razors. On the day of my facial skin feels smooth and enjoyable evening as if I had just shaved with a razor the former. The next morning I noticed stubble, and see but not feel as unshaven.
Unfortunately, I have quite sensitive skin. In the first uses, there was slight redness, burning and also something to a pimple. These irritations appear to be after only a few uses and some practice.
Both the shaver and the cleaning station to see my feelings out to very good. The cleaning station is encouraging small.
The shaver is very easy to handle and rotated in different directions as well as 180 ° good to use, which is useful in different directions beard. The shaving head to facial contours adapts well.
In the cleaning station no cartridges come with alcoholic cleaning fluid. The station has a washable cleaning liquid container into which all pouring 150 ml of tap water and 15 ml of fluid. After removal from the cleaning station of the razor is not only loaded, clean and dry, but it also smells discreetly.
So I prepared the electric shaving (actually for the first time ever) joy!

At the 30th day the time allowed by Panasonic return possibility, I decided with a heavy heart, because I had the thoroughness shaving really excited to return the razor. Reason for return were the redness still occurring in my neck under the chin and continue to persistent breakouts or light bleeding. These problems I run back to my sensitive skin. My original of the shaver 5-star rating I reduce to 4 stars.
After a brief lock-up phase again with my old Braun Series 7 and similar skin problems I ordered the Philips S9521 / 31, who is currently out of a cashback campaign also offers a 30-day return option.
After the first three shaves I ask pleasantly surprised to find that the Philips S9521 / 31 does not cause any serious or noticeable skin problems with me. He offers as opposed to the top models of Braun and Panasonic three settings from gentle to efficiently. The shave (visible or felt) is my feeling after not quite as thorough as the Pansonic-top model, but better than the brown-top model.
With sensitive skin, it is probably true to weigh in the electric shaving between the best possible shave, optimal skin protection.
