The New then offered at first the familiar:
Shear blade and blade system ensure a solid shaving. For soft skin you have to stretch the skin already properly so the blade caught enough, but that's a general problem of the Braun razor and the products of the competition, which are based on the same principle. Another new feature is the angled cutting head, which is to make it probably more comfortable to shave the neck / chin. At the beginning of this kind was to keep the shaver unusual, but soon but no longer a problem. A real advantage is obtained not even the old razor could handled easily in the correct position to the chin. From a higher-priced unit that the same information that is given here with small lights represent on a display, I have refrained. Not every household appliance must have a flickering touch screen or the like, to display such profane things as the battery level. In short: The machine shaved almost its predecessors. All so as always.
For trimmer but no comment - I use not.
1. Surprise:
Really new and skeptical I faced the cleaning station. This causes additional costs - for which comfort advantage? After 2 months, I can say: This thing is worth. After 2 shaves the cleaning light on the shaver will flash at me. When this then plugged into the station and pushes a button starts the cleaning program. This cleaning fluid is introduced in a number of passes on the shaving head and the blade and distributed by automatically switching the shaver. The dirt is washed away thereby. One can see: everything is really clean. This takes about 4 minutes and then dries the shaver for about 3 hours. It works fine, and you have every morning a super scented lemon shaver. Such a good cleaning result, I really would not have expected. A cleaning cartridge is enough for me two months = 6 cartridges per year. I have a container with 8 cartridges for about 27 found on offer on Amazon. This is my comfort for more than a year more than worth.
2. Surprise
And for this there is a star deduction. While the cleaning station works great but looks much different than it affects the advertising photos. The black plastic is relatively thin and seems very cheap to. Only the cleaning liquid gives the station nearly enough weight to be accidentally knocked over. I recommend to place the station in a place where no one often comes along with his hand. If the station is vigorously agitated, the liquid may spill out - a real mess may occur. Von Braun I would have expected that introducing a weight in the foot, in order to minimize this risk by. In addition, the design is really not at the same level as that of shaving. Embarrassing plastic glitter is placed in the black plastic, which is probably to look classy. The opposite is the case. In addition, the nightly bathroom shines in LED blue, because the "Ambilight" cleaning station can not be shut off. Is not necessary a funny gag, but in everyday life. The level can be seen that way. Off, please!
All in all a solid performance, I do not regret the purchase. I hope nevertheless that Braun shaver justify future your price again with high-quality design - just Brown actually has as a very significant history that should not gamble away readily.
