as real users, posing a threat to a site’s security, so the site sometimes runs random security checks. Ultimate precision even on tricky hair: ProTrimmer for maximum cutting efficiency even on sideburns, moustache and under nose. The shaver was particularly good on the cheeks, however on the neck and chin, I could sometimes feel a few slightly rough patches after the shave. I don’t want to have to use the cleaning station to charge it as I travel and do not want to lug the cleaning station with me. For other users that don’t have to deal with these issues, the differences may be minor, which is why some even prefer the Series 8 over the 7.

Your article here mentioned the cleaning station of Series 8 don’t have any drying features but the Series 9’s does.While the silver foil frame is slightly different in shape and size among these 3 families of shavers, the actual foils/cutters seem to be identical. Not by a huge margin, but it was definitely more effective at cutting flat-lying hairs, requiring fewer strokes and less effort. Then there’s the coarseness of the hair, the density, the frequency of shaving and how long it takes to complete the shave.

Thats probably also the only reason they put one in here, since it really should not be required for a shaver. Seems like it may be worth testing the series 9, running costs aren’t that much higher, although I’m quite happy with the 8 – a full head shave takes 2 minutes, hmmm. It’s just a rebranding of the series, the performance is the same and they use the same shaving head.The Series 7 is Braun’s best-selling shaver and it will be updated at some point…with a new Series 7. As a side note, it’s particularly important to clean it thoroughly after a wet shave as the lather will harden and it will be very difficult to get it out of the cassette. It also means that there are no personalization modes like on the Series 7 (those were also rather gimmicky, to be honest, but at least you could select them yourself when you wanted to). If you would still prefer a dry cleaning, you can use a small brush, but only on the inside of the head, never brush directly the outer foils as those will get damaged very easily.

The shaving head of the Braun Series 8 can only move from front to back, which is honestly all that’s needed and in my opinion a better approach than other super complex flexing systems. The rest of the features are exactly the same, so it’s no surprise that the newer Series 8 Pro will shave exactly the same as the older 83 models. The Series 8 is fitted with a larger battery that is good for an impressive 60 minutes worth of shaving time, compared to the usual 45 or 50 minutes. Braun boxes do have those two pieces of clear tape, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in plastic film. Both the Series 9 and 8 are fitted with 10 000 CPM motors, however the Series 9 feels torquier and faster, which will likely translate into shorter shaving sessions, especially if you have very coarse, dense facial hair that tends to lie flat on the skin.I currently use a Series 9 but when I travel I carry and use Wahl Lifeproof shaver because it is supposedly very rugged and has a 90 minute charge.
