Electric Razors For Men

Buy The Braun - Series 7 - 790cc Pulsonic Shaver

In short, I expected a lot from this shaver after reading other online reviews -- but I didn't expect it to be this fantastic!

I haven't shaved with a razor in something ridiculous, like 9 years, as my face can never take it. Even once my face gets used to the razor again, just stopping for a few days makes me break out like a teenager if I try to shave again. So, with no hope of a baby faced shave, I moved on to beard trimmers and simply lived with a close 5 o'clock shadow, letting people assume my middle eastern heritage gave me wolfman like features by mid-day. Every now and then I'd venture back to an electric shaver only to discover they pulled the hair out, left my face irritated, didn't reach those "hard to reach places" (go figure), or left a massive mess in the sink, etc. And again, I'd slink back to my beard trimmer, my girlfriend left only to assume that she wouldn't see me with a clean face again until the day we got married and it really mattered.

But, being in my late 30's (okay, so I'm 40!) and consistently being in front of clients finally pushed me to do something about it (and only 9 years in...). So, after reading the reviews I bought the Braun Series 7 and jumped in with both feet. Much to my suprise, my first shave was as close as I've ever gotten with a razor, twice as fast, and left no irritation, no in grown hairs, no break outs, and no redness. Not only that, but the miniscule amount of hair in the sink makes my wife think I take the time to clean up after every shave even when I'm in a hurry! I can't say enough about this razor, and while I don't have much to compare it to, simply knowing it has done its job for a month straight with no issues, and hasn't seemed to dull at all, astounds me.

I can't think of the last thing I bought that was this useful, and that I'm as appreciative for each time I use it. Can I say more than I would shave MAYBE once a year with a razor and since the day I bought it I've shaved every morning with the Braun?!

Granted, it still won't get every hair on your neck, but it does an amazingly good job of skimming over any ingrown hairs so you can pluck them out later, and not grabbing or yanking hairs that are slightly longer than the rest.

DRAWBACKS

Now for the bad news... as with any product, there are always drawbacks. After a three months of shaving, the shave times have appeared to have gotten longer, the shaves are less close, and my skin is getting to the point that after going over and over the same spot I can't shave again for at least a day or so because of the irritation. So, I changed my cleaning fluid, bought a new head, and things appear to be back to normal. It has now been 6 months since I last changed the head -- so it appears to have fixed the problem. However, I wanted to report about this just in case so that you're aware of it in case it happens to you too. :-)

Two thumbs up! It really is a close shave and even though I had a few problems in the beginning, all is resolved now. I'd get it if I were you!
