Braun Series 8 Electric Razor for Men, with 4+1 Shaving Elements & Precision Long Hair Trimmer, Close & Gentle Even on Dense Beards, Wet & Dry Electric Razor with 60min Runtime, 8517s Galvano Silver

We bought this for an early Father's Day gift for my Dad. I read him the directions as he's vision impaired, being sure to point out that the directions say to expect a break-in period of about three weeks. The day after he got the razor, he called and told me that it was the best razor ever! It gave him a close shave and was really easy to use! No break-in period necessary. He also liked the quality of the razor. Solid. Highly recommend!

Read many reviews before choosing this razor. Most of them had the Braun Series 8 and 9 at the top of their list and now I know why. Very close and smooth shave. Great battery life.

This is an excellent shaver. Having purchased the series 7 twice before, I can clearly say that the series 8 is a far better decision. If you are thinking of the series 7, skip it for the series 8 which does a far better job as a shaver. Slightly more pricy, shaving is far more efficient and at a lower price than the flagship series 9. Many reviews seem to concur with this. Great shave, excellent battery life and included moustache trimmer. My single biggest gripe is no usb charging. It is absurd that such sophisticated shavers still require a dedicated proprietary charger. This means carrying another charger when travelling. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a great shaver with good price.

My husband says that it gives a great, close shave. And since I also own a Braun product, I can vouch for their quality and reliability and suggested that he purchase the Braun.

This model performs better than my Series 9 !!!Super happy with it.And I've had all the series over the years, but not satisfied at all with the Model 9! Replacing the head blade and screen did not improve performance.

This is the one I was looking for. It’s work functionally and shave well

I’ve had a Braun 3 series for years, but the screen split after three months and gave me several surprise cuts on my face. So I decided to spend a little more (okay, a lot more) with the Series 8. I was a little apprehensive because the reviews were good, but not stellar. I have to say this is the best electric shaver I have ever had, and the closest shave I’ve ever gotten. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is because it does not come with a cap. It does come with a case, so I keep it in there, but I would also like to have a plastic cap that protects the blades and the screen when not in use like the series 3 has. But that being said, I highly recommend this razor. The trimmer works really well too.

Gives a close shave
