Examining the Braun Series 9 Electric Shaver
The manufacturer calls the Braun Series 9 Electric Shaver the world’s most efficient and comfortable shaver,so let’s take a look at why that is. This line of electric shavers features a unique cutting design called the “intelligent SyncroSonic technology” which provides an incredibly close shave. The system works by delivering a high volume of cross-cutting motions, 40-thousand per minute that cut even the most stubborn of facial hairs without irritating skin.
In addition to the ergonomic design which makes each Braun electric razor easy to hold and comfortable to use, the Series 9 includes a HyperLift and Cut trimmer that lifts hairs that tend to lie flat along the skin in areas of the neck and chin and cuts them swiftly and cleanly. There’s also a Direct and Cut Trimmer that manages to cut those rouge hairs that grow out from your face in different directions to the majority of hairs in your beard.
Other great features found on the Braun Series 9 Electric Shaver include their trademarked OptiFoil which is considered the most advanced foil in use by Braun which produces an extremely close shave. Then there’s the cleaning and charging station. What Braun did here was create what they proudly call the World’s only five action clean and charge station. In fact, the manufacturer actually invented the “cleaning station” a decade ago. What makes it unique is that the Braun system is the only one that eliminates 99.999-percent of bacteria and germs in each cleaning cycle. It does this by using an alcohol-based fluid. Braun has actually tested their system against washing with hot water and the Cleaning Station is ten times more hygienic.
The Braun Series 9 Electric Shaver comes with a fully adjustable head which locks in five different positions and a precision trimmer for sideburns and moustache trimming. It is waterproof and will charge fully in one hour which provides up to 50-minutes of cordless shaving. There’s also a 5-minute quick charge option which will last long enough for a single shave. A LED battery indicator provides information of the status of the charge, when the travel lock is activated and when the shaver needs to be cleaned. The Braun Series 9 Electric Shaver package is complete with a travel pouch.
There are a total of five electric razors that make up the Braun Series 9 line, the 9030s, 9040s, 9050cc, 9090cc, 9095cc and 9093S. The 9 Series has more features when compared to older models such as the 790cc and 5090cc in the Series 7 and Series 5 ranges. This is to be expected as the release of each new series has also seen the introduction of newer and more innovative features and designs. For example, earlier Series lines do not have the SyncroSonic Technology feature or the 2-times specialized Middle Trimmer when compared to the Series 9.
The Series 9 shavers all have ratings of over 4 out of 5 stars and online reviews are generally positive on all of the Braun Series 9 Electric Shavers. As can be expected, many reviewers write comparing their current shaver with another one purchased within the entire Braun product line. The ergonomic shape of the Series 9 is noted as a plus by consumers as well as the speed of the cutting blades. Another bonus is the wet/dry feature. As for negatives, some reviewers say the shave is not as close and that their skin is irritated from the foils. This is a common occurrence for those who have not used a foil shaver before.
Some reviewers point out problems with the trimmer however, the charging and cleaning station, which Braun spent considerable time and energy developing, is mentioned as a huge asset with this purchase. If you are a Braun fan or are about to switch brands, the Braun name carries a great deal of credibility and the five different product lines of electric razors verify this. If you are looking for one that is versatile, powerful and worth every penny you spend on it, then you need to consider looking at the shavers that make up the Braun Series 9 Electric Shaver line.
The 9093S is a wet/dry shaver without a cleaning dock, the 9090cc is a DRY only shaver with a dock, and the 9095CC offers all options, wet/dry shaving with the cleaning dock.
