- Series 9 PRO+ Electric Razor for Men, 5 Pro Shaving Elements and Shave-Preparing ProComfort Head for Closeness & Skin Comfort, 6in1 SmartCare Center, Wet or Dry Shaver, Charging Stand, 9597cc

The Braun Series 9 Pro + is, simply put, a fantastic electric razor. I had the Panasonic ARC 5 for years, and it was a great shaver with a close shave. But I disliked the cleaning system, which relies on soap and water, creating blocked drainage and mildew smell. You can clean the Arc 5 head under the faucet, but you still have soap and water and drying. This same cleaning methodology applies to the Arc 6, as well. The automatic cleaning system with alcohol cartridges is great. Braun wisely stopped using benzene in their cleaning solution some years ago, which I appreciate. The shave is every bit as close as the Panasonic. It cuts the neck whiskers better than the Panasonic, and the shave is wonderfully comfortable, leaving the skin feeling healthy and comfortable as well. Totally happy with it.

This is definitely the best electric shaver I’ve owned. I have very sensitive skin. I’m very prone to razor burn and in grown hairs. It does not aggravate or pull any hairs while shaving and gets really close to the skin. It is pricey but worth it! I also love the self cleaning capabilities. The sleek design is very impressive. Also, it comes with a portable charging carrier that you can use while traveling. Highly recommend!

I haven't done a review in a while, but I thought this might help someone. I have been using razors now for most of my life and I am 68 years old. I tried an electric years ago and felt it didn't work. Unfortunately, I am now on blood thinners, and every time I cut my face I end up looking like a mummy. I thought I would try an electric, but I was concerned that it would not be the same close shave that I like with the razor. The reviews suggested even consumer reports that this razor was the best and that a foil razor as opposed to the electric with the rotating heads are the ones you want for close shave. First, when you open the box, the directions are the kind they have on airplanes with pictures, but they're worthless. It's pretty intuitive, but I thought there was a charging station. Thankfully, I called the help desk and you instantly get someone who helps you and they tell you that the razor cleaning machine is also what charges it. I showed a picture below. You press the button on the side of the cleaning mechanism and then pull the bottom down, and it allows you to slide the alcohol containing cleaning fluid container -just look to see where the cutout is, and it only goes in one way. You have to pull off the cap of the container to allow the fluid to get out. The razor comes with a very nice case which is also a charging battery itself so therefore you could just take the charged case on a trip unless you're gone for a long period of time So it charges easily and it cleans easily. You just put it in the same way upside down and you push the button on the top and it starts a self cleaning cycle. You're supposed to use it after each shave . You can buy the cleaning fluid from Amazon or from EMBRACE which is the vendor that Braun uses. But here's the kicker the shave result is as good if not better than my razor. I did not get this for free. I have no financial incentive and I haven't done a review in a while. I was grateful to the people who did other reviews to push me over to buy this.. it is pricey at about $300 but razors and shaving cream are not cheap overtime either And I'm not going to look like a bloody mess So if your main concern is the closeness of the shave, this is a whole other level of razor compared to the one I tried years ago. The Braun is rated highest I believe by consumer reports and everywhere else I looked. I bought the typical electric shave alcohol pre-treatment.. I'm sure there's other more sophisticated things you could use. Bottom line if you want to switch and you want a close shave without cutting your face off, especially if you're on blood thinners like I am- you will be pleasantly surprised I hope this helps..

Using a manual razor was rough on my face. I tried other electric razors, but they never quite gave me anywhere near a blade shave. But I saved my money and decided to try this one. The impressive price tag was overshadowed by the impressive performance of the razor. For me it gives me a shave as good as a blade but without the irritation of scraping your face. Maintenance is easier than any razor I've ever seen. Put it in its cleaning box, push the button and it cleans and lubricates itself. You do have to replace the cleaning solution about once a month and they say the head should be replaced every 18 months; but it's definitely worth it. The only downside is the instructions for operation. It comes down to some incomprehensible pictographs that, in essence, tell you nothing. But for the most part, it's simple to figure out. Despite the cost I would definitely recommend this product.

I was very cautious about spending silly money on a razor: but after years of not getting a great shave from the different and advanced Philishaves that I bought, I did so. This razor is excellent at shaving: I am quite surprised at just how good it is. The cleaning technology (electronic controlled) is somewhat wacky, but never mind. A great close shave - as good as wet.

Buen producto. Vale lo que cuesta

Tutto bene. Sarebbe perfetto se fosse indicato che il cavo da carica e‘ da aquistare separatamente.

I replaced my rotary shaver with some trepidation after 40 years, but have found this provides a closer shave, and more thorough. I travel less than I did formerly but the recharging travel case allows several weeks use if the cord is left behind, and the alcohol based cleaning system appears to do a much better job than the previous aqueous one, and is more likley to sterilise the foils and heads.
