BraunElectric Razor for Men, Series 7 360 Flex Head Foil Shaver with Precision Beard Trimmer, Rechargeable, Wet & Dry and Travel Case, Black, 5 Piece Set

I've had a Panasonic Electric Shaver and Trimmer for Men ES8103S shaver before - and it worked way past the warranty time. Like 10 years after I bought it!!! I had to change the shaver head once since the foil has some little holes, but it was holding up just fine. AND it was still working in 2023, when I decided I should probably splurge for a newer shaver.Got to change my review to 5 stars. The shaver is still fine - as good as electric razor goes. I just need to make sure the outlet I'm charging it in - is actually worked and not tripped off. Thank you Braun warranty folks who reminded me of that :)

Update Nov 12, 2020:The razor suddenly stopped working about five weeks ago. When I plugged it in to charge a flashing small red battery symbol appeared on the handle. I sent a service request to Braun on their website along with a copy of the Amazon invoice. Braun quickly sent shipping instructions along with a prepaid UPS shipping label. A new replacement razor arrived from Braun about two weeks later. This replacement razor is more powerful and runs faster like my original 7 year old razor (which still runs great). The replacement also runs much longer on a charge. Obviously the first razor that failed was defective from the start and I am very pleased with the performance of its replacement. Braun service was easy to use and I am still a fan of Braun products and I highly recommend this razor.I purchased this razor to replace my 7 year old model 7. I like this series of Braun razors because they have an electronic motor instead of the old brush motors still used by other brands. I use foam shaving cream and water with these razors for a superior shave.I had used Panasonic razors prior to my first Braun but they had to be replaced every year or two when water got in the case. I replaced my 7 year old Braun because it didnt seem to give a close shave and even new replacement heads did not improve the shave.This new Braun series is quiet and it seems to run a little slower than the older model. I have found it best to move the shaver a little slower and it cuts close with fewer passes.I it says three weeks of battery life but I think that would be true if you just have peach fuzz. I would guess a weeks worth on one charge is about right bit I charge about every three days since I probably run ten minutes per shave.It will give a very close shave and it is totally waterproof so shave in the shower if you like. Excellent quality and worth every penny that it costs. Recommend any brand of shaving cream for a really fine shace.

I had a series 3. It served me well. The battery was getting weak (lower run time) and then part came apart. Time for a new one. It was delivered within 8 hours. Yay!I appreciate that they include a case with this time, but I have the beard trimmer and a charging cable. I put the bead trimmer in there, resting next to the shaver head (microscreen), bad idea. the cable isn't going to fit. Braun is known for their design, and everything should fit in the case, where it belongs, ready for a last minute departure.I thought the company would have switched to USB charging, being a European company. Propriety plugs in 2024? Even Apple with their good design, switched to USB on the phones. Braun, should too.The S7 hardware is nice, perhaps a little bit nicer than my S3. The "Precision Trimmer" works great for shaving my head. It's as big as the trimmer on my S3. Solid unit. It shaves better than the S3, which probably has a dull blade. Perhaps I should to shell out for a replacement blade unit for $50 in 18 months or so. It's just so expensive.I appreciate that you can get a shave after 5 minutes of charging. But why can't it run while plugged in? Conspiracy to have us buy a new unit when the battery dies?I'm happy with the unit (Shaves well, cleans easy, long battery life so far). Just not 100% pleased with with the total experience.

Before I got this shaver, I was using the Braun M60B. I needed a good portable shaver for traveling at the time. However, the M60B didn't cut my beard all the way to the skin for smoothness and had a hard time with mid-sized hair follicles under my chin. That's when I purchased this model. Although it is outdated, and there is a newer version available, I didn't want to spend $300 on the latest model, so I opted for this one instead. The noise is a bit loud, but bearable. My brother has the latest model, and its noise can be heard all the way down the hallway to my room.This shaver comes with a travel case, interchangeable trimmer head, charging cable, and a brush to help clean debris. The only drawbacks I have with this product are the amount of work required to keep the head and internal components clean. Debris tends to accumulate in certain areas, requiring some effort to clean thoroughly. Additionally, the shaver works with wet surfaces, but it's important to keep the charging port at the bottom as dry as possible before plugging it in to charge. I wish they had included a cover on the bottom to protect it from random splashes of water. This can be an issue if your battery runs out midway through shaving and you need to plug it in to continue, but you notice the power port at the bottom is wet. Make sure it's dry before plugging it in...
