BraunElectric Razor for Men, Waterproof Foil Shaver, Series 9 Pro 9477cc, Wet & Dry Shave, with Portable Charging Case, ProLift Beard Trimmer, 5-in-1 Cleaning & Charging SmartCare Center, SilverGreenCircle Certified: Certified Energy Savings

Although I've used a lot of electric shavers, this one really sticks out. Efficiency, comfort, and precision are all combined into one stylish device with the Braun Series 9 Pro 9419s, making for an amazing shaving experience. This shaver has been a lifesaver in my everyday routine because I frequently find myself sporting a three-day stubble.I was immediately struck by how cozy it feels in my hands. Because of its ergonomic design and ideal fit in my hand, I can easily navigate around the features of my face. Additionally, it's very light, which is advantageous for someone like myself who takes a little longer to groom. One notable feature is the ProLift trimmer, which easily manages those challenging hairs under the neck and chin that other shavers frequently overlook. When I'm in a hurry or trying to achieve that extra-polished look, this extra precision is crucial.This shaver's adaptability is another feature that I adore. I can use it with shaving foam or gel or even take it in the shower for a quick, mess-free shave because it is completely waterproof. Additionally impressive is the battery life; it lasts for multiple shaves before needing to be recharged, and when it does, the charging pace is really quick. This is ideal for my busy lifestyle because it means less leisure and more time appearing professional.All things considered, this electric shaver has made my personal grooming routine a very pleasurable experience rather than a tedious chore. The sophisticated features and well-considered design offer a soothing, effective, and smooth shave. Regardless of the length of your beard, one day or seven, this shaver manages it all with ease. This is an essential addition to your bathroom cabinet if you want to up your grooming game.

I was skeptical of the brand. I had one about 15 years ago that tore up my face. I bought a Norelco to replace that one which I retired when I got this one. After 2 months of use I just now need to recharge it so the battery life is excellent. I shave every 1-3 days and this thing works great. I wouldn't want to try shaving more than 3 day, old man stubble. The sideburn trimmer is usable, not great, but I have other tools for that. My tip is shave before washing your face or showering. The natural skin oils allow for a very close shave without razor burn.

Due to sensitive skin, I haven't used a disposable razor for decades. For most of that time, any inexpensive electric razor worked adequately, but as my beard turned grey I had more and more issues shaving these thicker bristly white hairs. Over the last decade or so I've pretty much given up on shaving at all (except for using hair clippers to keep it short) despite buying multiple razors and hoping for a good shave. For the longest time, I used a Panasonic ES8103 that left me with a shave that wasn't so good even after passing over the same area 10-20 times. I then tried a Norelco OneBlade which actually worked ok but was comparatively messy and the blades only worked well for a short time and then required more passes to get a progressively poorer shave. And finally, the biggest waste of money was the Norelco Series 5000 which refused to shave my beard from day one. Even after a continuous 15 minutes of running it over my face still felt rough and numerous stubborn hairs remained here and there. On top of that, it was very difficult to reassemble after taking it apart to clean.I finally decided to buy the best-rated razor on the market which was the Braun Series 9. I did not have any great expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Even with fairly long stubble as my clippers don't cut very close the razer gave me a close shave after just one or two passes over any one area. The final result left my face smooth to the touch; a much closer shave than I've ever gotten from an electric razor. This razor is absurdly expensive, but if you can't get a good shave from a cheaper model certainly give it a try. As far as the cleaner that comes with this model, it does appear to work as intended, although I will have to use it longer before I can decide if it is just a gimmick or not. If you travel a lot the case that contains an external battery should be great but I probably will use it only rarely.My only complaint is that the instructions are completely useless. There are pages of pictograms that I couldn't make any sense of. I had to go only to find a review that covered the same information using words.Edit added after 2 months of use: I don't really have much to say about the performance of the razor as it continues to shave remarkably well. My only developing concerns are in regard to cleaning. The head contains some intricate parts many of which cannot be reached with the small brush provided and I don't think it was designed to be disassembled. This makes getting the version with the cleaning station almost obligatory. While it works pretty well this bulky device isn't perfect. Not only is some manual cleaning required it becomes necessary to clean the cleaning device as well. So far everything remains clean enough using the cleaner with some manual cleaning but if you have OCD it will probably drive you nuts that it is difficult if not impossible to get everything inside the razor perfectly clean.
