Smooth shaving performance: you can shave comfortably in different directions thanks to the 4 shaving elements.

Shaves effortlessly: you can get a smooth shave with ease because the electric shaver adjusts the power to your beard.
Less suitable for thick hair: the head doesn't have a ProLift trimmer, so you can shave thick and long hair less easily.

Quiet shaver that shaves smoothly

Quiet in use
Shaves nice and smooth
Easy to clean
Cleaning station makes quite a lot of noise

This shaver allows me to shave comfortably in the morning because it's quiet. I can easily shave hard-to-reach areas, achieving an extra-smooth result. The cleaning station is quite noisy, though.

Quiet in use When I unpacked the shaver, I immediately noticed how sturdy and modern it feels. I've used the Braun Series 7 before, so I was curious if this model would truly be a step forward. During my first shave, I immediately noticed how much quieter it is. That makes shaving in the morning much more pleasant.

Smooth shave The design fits comfortably in the hand and glides smoothly over the skin, even in tricky areas like my neck. The flexible shaver head follows the contours of my face while shaving. I also noticed a noticeably smoother shave. My skin feels softer afterward and stays smooth longer, without irritation. The shaver is waterproof, making it easy to use in the shower. This is convenient when I'm in a hurry, as I can rinse it clean immediately after use. The back of the shaver has a retractable trimmer. I use it to trim my sideburns, for example.

Easy to clean The shaver is easy to clean. After use, I place it in the cleaning station. The station rinses the shaving head thoroughly. This way, I always shave with a clean shaver. While cleaning, the station also recharges the shaver. Cleaning in the station is quite noisy, though. This is a bit unpleasant when I use it first thing in the morning. Fortunately, I don't have to do it after every shave, because I also quickly rinse the shaver manually.

Solid device that goes smoothly through my beard

Fits well in the hand
Shaves evenly and smoothly
Cleaning fluid runs out quickly

I have a fairly thick beard, so a decent razor is essential. It fits comfortably in the hand and feels high-quality. During testing, I noticed that it effortlessly cuts through tougher hairs and still leaves a smooth shave. The automatic cleaning is really convenient, although the cleaning fluid runs out quickly. Overall, a powerful device that makes daily shaving much easier.

Very nice shaver

A really great shaver, the battery lasts a long time, which is fantastic. After testing it, I noticed it trims very smoothly and I rarely experience any irritation. It takes a little figuring out exactly how it works at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's incredibly convenient. I would definitely recommend it!
