 Most unreliable product ever August 17, 2010

Do not buy a Braun Razor until you read this. I owned a series 3 razor that never worked before buying the series 7. My series 3 would not charge in the stand so I contacted Braun who had me send it in to a service center. After paying shipping and insurance twice my razor still never worked. Frustrated I gave up on it and began using a handheld razor. My wife was kind enough to purchase a series 7 for me at a cost of $220.00. Though I had bad luck with Braun I gave it a try. It was a really nice razor that did a decent job of shaving. But after only 4 months it stopped working completely. I contacted Braun who again had me send it to a service center. After paying shipping and insurance my razor returned still not functioning. I contacted Braun who said I need to send it in again and that they could do nothing for me. How many times do I have to send a razor into a service center to get one that works more than 4 months. After insurance, shippin and all those expensive cartridges I have had to waste each time I send it in, I have spent over $400 to still have a Braun razor that does not work. If I had written a review within 2 months of getting this razor, as most of the reviewers of this product probably did, I would have given it 4-5 stars. But Braun products just don't work, and their customoer service is horrible. Do yourself a favor and go with a different company because you will get this product and be happy for a few months but then the frustration begins.
One of the best foil shavers, if you don't mind the aftertaste! August 16, 2010

I have used this shaver for six months now, and it works great!
Shaves very closely especially under the nose, where most 3-circle rotary shavers cannot even touch (i.e Norelco)!
My only complaint is that the cleaning fluid (contained in the charger/cleaner base) can be tasted on your lips after shaving. For this I need to remember to wash my lips off lest my food tastes like a butane lighter.
Hopefully, it's not too toxic...right Braun? :-(
 Beats Gillette Glider August 16, 2010

No skin rash, no hassle with ridiculously expensive cartridge replacements, no rapid re-growth of grizzly beard the next morning after shaving and ultimately no mess! This is the one for all man's dream. If there's any complaint, it is either the unit is defective or the user didn't give the shaver enough time to adjust. I have tried the Braun series 3 because it was half the price of the series 7 but the 7 series made it to the peak. I never tried the other brand shaver because I liked the design by Braun.
Over hyped razor is a disappointment August 15, 2010
Pappy (New Castle, DE United States)
I received the 790cc as a gift 2 months ago. At first, I was impressed with the amount of thought that went into the packaging of this unit. Then I found out how much the razor cost and now know that most of the cost went into packaging. As for the razor, the weight of the unit suggests that this is a well made, precision instrument. It feels solid in your hand.
After the initial charging in the clean/renew station I tried it out on my beard which was previously trimmed by my Norelco. The resulting shave was not as close as I expected for a $200+ razor compared to my old $50 Norelco. After the first shave, I set it back into the clean/renew station and that's when the real problems began.
All of the LED's in the razor and the station began blinking randomly. The charger would not sense the razor and therefore would not clean or charge it. I called Braun and was informed that I could mail it back to them at my own expense or I could take it to their authorized repairman about 10 miles from my house. I chose the repairman.
The repairman had the razor for one month to the day and he remarked that it was not the only Braun 790cc he received for repair recently. He told me he replaced a PC board and another part in the station when he returned the unit to me. Thankfully there was no cost but also no paperwork describing his repair work.
When I returned home I found that he had given me somebody else's 790cc razor. So now, I had to return to the repairman to retrieve my razor. After returning home again, I tried the razor a second time. I was still not impressed with the closeness of the shave but am willing to give it some more time to see if it improves. I haven't thrown my Norelco away, yet.
The charging/cleaning station now works but has to be encouraged at times to sense the razor and to begin cleaning. The cleaning cycle begins and will stop abrubtly. After repositioning the razor on the contacts and pushing the start cleaning button again, it will resume cleaning and eventually complete the cycle. The clean/renew process is not a quiet process, either.
Bottom line: I am disappointed with Braun and Proctor and Gamble in general. It seems to me that P&G could at least stand by their products a little better, especially with a brand name like Braun. I am also not impressed with the design of the razor's seemingly unnecessary clean/renew station. Why not just run the razor under hot water and put a couple of drops of oil on it every month? The instructions indicate that you can do just that. You really shouldn't have the extra expense of replacing cleaning cartridges on top of this overpriced shaver, either.

I have always used Braun shavers and this latest doesn't disappoint. Price was the best I could find. Cleaning mode works as well as advertized. Carry case is pretty cheap looking though compared to older models.
