Revainrating 5 out of 5

Typical German genius

Okay, I just bought this system to replace the Norelco Series 9000 that I've been using for a number of years. I also shave with a razor (old German razor) and you can't do that with an electric razor. My previous shaver over 16 years ago was the Braun Series 7 790 which, believe it or not, has lasted me over 10 years and still works. In my opinion the best Braun shaver. So Series 9 (9390 ccm). Just bought and cleaned and charged right out of the box. Deliberately grew a 4 day growth to test a new razor. So to my initial usage and thoughts. Very quiet motor and different sound as far as I remember from my 790. Maybe a bit higher but I think it's because of the 40k vibrations. The feel on my face and neck was very smooth and the shaver certainly did a quick job on my facial hair. I only had one grip on my upper left lip, but that may have been due to my accidental sideways movement of the razor too quickly. The cleanliness of the shave is very, very clean and, frankly, very close to a straight razor, but not quite. I was very impressed with the first shave and it wasn't easy due to 4 days of growth. Now to the cleaning station. I wanted the station to have wording with lights to make it easier to interpret. I figured this out by reading what each light means, but it would make things easier. The station works and is easy to use. I want the ammo feed to be in the front instead of the rear. However, this in no way violates the terms of the contract. The system seems to clean very well and not be too terribly noisy. As long as it cleans the shaving block and flows well, I'm happy with it. My Norelco is very lacking in this regard and, quite frankly, useless in this area. Braun outshines the Norelco system in this respect and the closeness of the shave. At best, Norelco will give you a year for a set of knives. I love the fact that the Braun system cleans, sanitizes and lubricates the blades at the same time. So my opinion on the 9390 Series 9.....if other shavers are as good then a winner! I will update my review if I find any mistakes.
