Review on 🪒 Braun EasyClick Beard Trimmer Attachment: Compatible with Series 5, 6, & 7 Electric Razors by Karen Smith

So - Braun Series 7 7071. Grille and a flat center blade in the familiar Braun cartridge. Cosmetically very similar, but nonetheless different from all previous series razors that Braun produced. as "Series 10" or Series 8 if no other razor has already occupied that slot (and Series 8 is really just a modified 9). There is nothing like it. The 360 degree raised head and detachable trimmer are the hallmarks of this razor. Let's get to the point if you want to skip the details: it delivers a great, close and comfortable shave that rivals the previous Series 7 (which was great) or Series 9 (which some say is better). Whether it's better than either is entirely subjective - maybe a little for me - but the blades and head (which actually make a shave possible) are virtually identical to other Braun offerings, which are excellent in their own right. This "360" design appears to keep the foil and cutting edge straight and make better contact with your face with less effort. Pros: It's cheaper than any razor. From the 7th series a little. Lots of Series 9s. It's a little faster - with a 360-degree head, there are fewer passes, it's easier to maneuver, and it's over 10 percent lighter. Cons: Some have a detachable trimmer. And if you're using a trimmer, you'll have to "play around" with this attachment instead of just raising or lowering the attached trimmer. No Head Lock - If you use this feature, it is not present on this shaver. General Specs: Somewhere between the old Series 7 and Series 9, although closer to a 9. Thinner than both, it weighs 6.6 ounces, the Series 7 weighs a whopping 7.8 ounces, and the Series 9 weighs 7.7 ounces. although you'll find that the Series 9 is a significantly larger razor, with the older Series 7's extra weight coming from thicker plastic, more metal and a stronger build than the 9 or 7071. The 7071's cassette head is actually wider (1 inch) than the old 7 Series head (3/4 inch), with a wider flat cutter bar. It also has a flatter profile and there doesn't seem to be a replacement available at this time and the replacement cost is also unknown. Ergonomics, it seems perfectly balanced like most Brauns. Plastic, like all recent Browns (and most modern electronics), but the connection posts for the rotator appear to be metal. There is a charging port at the end for charging via the cable or on the included cleaning station. It takes about an hour to fully charge and 5 minutes to charge for one shave. The charge is reported to last for 50 minutes. Unlike the Series 9 and earlier Brauns, the charging cable is straight rather than coiled and is quite long. The razor is submersible and can be used both wet and dry, so it can't be used as a corded razor like the rest of its rechargeable wet/dry kin. The display is very simple, with a vertical line showing the charge level. The shorter the line, the lower the fee. There are no percentages here. It's actually quite functional because I never pay much attention to my shavers which show accurate percentages - I usually charge them up every time I use them at home and on the go as often as I can. The display also shows symbols for cleaning (two drops), head replacement (head-shaped symbol) as well as a red padlock symbol and a charging cable symbol (when the shaver is locked or charging). Like other Braun shavers, the shaver can be locked by pressing and holding the power button for 3 seconds and unlocking it in the same way. The info button below the main on/off button shows the status of the shaver when pressed. There's no speed adjustment like the older Series 7, it "automatically" adjusts to beard thickness like the Series 9. Noise levels are about the same as a shaving or cleaning station (although the lack of a fan means the station is completely silent power when it is on). does not clean). .Accessories: The cleaning station also differs from conventional Braun cleaning stations. This station is actually closer in function and look to Philips Norelco stations with a vertical arm that locks and charges the shaver rather than simply tossing the shaver into the station. However, unlike Norelco stations or other Braun cleaning stations, you can't just charge the shaver on the station - when you press the button on the vertical arm (which you have to snap into the shaver) it starts cleaning (and charging) . , and a second press turns it off. Razor from the charger. There are no symbols or indicators on the cleaning station at all - just a blue light on the 'Start' button on top of the handle, which illuminates when the shaver is cleaning or charging and turns amber and then red in sequence when a solution is needed. changes. Also, like all Braun stations since the 7 Series, they use the same alcohol-based cleaning cartridges. The cleaning cycle takes about the same amount of time (less than 3 minutes) and unlike the 7 or 9 series stations, there is no active drying cycle - induction or fan - only "drip drying". Which actually works quite well considering the fact that the cleaning solution is mostly alcohol. Additionally, unlike all other Braun razors, there is no built-in trimmer - the trimmer is an attachment that you have to turn on and off like Norelco's rotary tools. Pluses and minuses - easy to replace (probably, if any), but an extra step and hassle with shaving. However, this is consistent with Braun's "new" design featuring multiple shaving attachments, such as a face brush and beard trimmer, again very similar to Norelco's "System" design. It seems to work slightly better as a trimmer than the built-in or detachable Norelco Braun and can be flipped over to trim a beard or mustache. (mostly front to back like other Browns, but also side to side and top to bottom, albeit narrower - hence the "360" designation). And unlike other Brauns, there's no button to remove the head - the head and other attachments are essentially removed with a "pull" and "snap" action, which is what you have to do every shave when using a trimmer. and it does. . Put in a little effort. The head and attachments feel solidly attached, but not what you might be used to if you've used a Braun before, and wear and tear on the pivot mechanism is probably a legitimate concern with this design. The time will show. All in all, a good addition to the Braun range isn't really a replacement for any of them, but an addition depending on what you want from a razor. different - and well recommended.
