WHAT I WAS AND WHAT I WANT TO IMPROVE
I chose the Braun at the time for these reasons:
Grids razors are supposed cause less irritation than rotary shavers.
The cleaning system, because it seemed to be rather a good idea.
In seeking a replacement, I wanted to address a few points negative met with Braun:
The cleaning station is a good idea, but for me the price of cartridges was a problem and I quickly began to fill them instead of buying new. Therefore, the new razor must be cleaned with water.
Braun had trouble shaving a 2-day beard. He needed about 10 minutes instead of 5 minutes daily. So I was ready to try a rotary razor to see how it comes out.
WHAT I HAVE CHOSEN AND WHY
In the end I chose the Philips RQ1250 / 32 SensoTouch 3D, because it fulfilled my requirements.
I just made a quantum leap with this razor:
So quiet, it was only when I turned on the Philips for the first time I realized how Braun was really noisy.
Incredibly effective daily shaving takes about 4 minutes, 5 minutes for a beard a week. This is clearly the advantage of the three rotary heads which are very effective in shaving the neck.
Cleaning with water is so much simpler.
It is a little irritating, but is not really disturbing. But it is possible to use it with the shaving cream or underwater.
One negative though: It only recharges on its base, it is not possible to connect the cord directly into the razor. Although the base is not large, it will take the trip if you plan to shave more than a dozen times.
BUY ONE!
I love this razor and I recommend it to anyone needing a good razor. Personally I would not return to the grid razors.
