Electric Shaver for Men, Series 7 7177cc, Wet & Dry Shave, Turbo & Gentle Shaving Modes, Waterproof Foil Shaver, Space Grey

Had this for 5 months. Good razor. It fits well in my hand, and the flex head is a nice step up from my previous razor (also a Braun that lasted ~10 years). I don't have a beard, so I can't really rate the beard trimmer attachments, but it seems to work OK on my eyebrows. Battery lasts 1-2 weeks on a charge, so when traveling I don't need to pack the charging cable. The care/cleaning station has a fairly large footprint on the counter. That's not really a negative, as I see no practical way to get around that from a design standpoint, but on the plus side it provides a convenient place to store that keeps the razor at hand. No regrets about this purchase. I'd buy it again.

I love this electric razor I get a great shave and it’s the best electric razor on the market I have a very thick beard and I get an amazing shave

I'm a long time wet shaver switching to an electric because I don't want to do a full shave every day and I'm sick of clippering my beard once a week before a full shave. I looked at the Japanese equivalent and it was the same price but didn't have the cleaning pod. The cleaning pod gives the razor a home, and I do believe is quite important for keeping the blades lubricated, which keeps them sharp - and keeping them sterile. This thing is putting a blade next to your skin, an infection is unlikely but not impossible. Anyway, I liked that this one came with the pod, and I had heard that the pod has a dry cycle which I also liked. Well it turns out the older series 7 does, this one is just a tank that cleans the razor and then lets it air dry. To be fair, the Japanese model I was looking at with the pod was $100 more but not even having a fan is a disappointment. It's not necessary but it felt like an extra and when I realized it doesn't actually do it I was not excited. I do like the pod but it is large and takes up a lot of counter space. I'm also not thrilled that there is a warning with the pods to only use them in a well ventilated space. People make their own solution and I may do that then go with whatever they're putting in here that requires a warning but idk. The Japanese equivalent has more blades, a better sounding motor, and looks and feels extra premium. The Braun 7 is light, but it feels well made, and I do like the design. The fact that it has less cutters is not a bad thing, the Japanese model is quite chunky and I don't think it would be great for tight areas like the upper lip. The Braun is better in this regard. However they're all pretty plasticky and it would be nice to have some heft to it. Another pro for the Braun is it is possible to replace the battery on your own. It's not as simple as opening the door and replacing it but they haven't glued the battery in or soldered it in. That means this thing could last for maybe another 7 years after the battery goes out. The Braun's motor is rattly and buzzy and sounds like it is a budget clipper, but it cuts just fine. It did miss some spots on my neck, but maybe that's the learning curve. So why did I settle for this shaver? Well for one, it is priced right, and you do get what you pay for. Many reviews say it's perfectly fine and for a device that you'll use for maybe 5 minutes a day, I don't see the need to spent $400 or $500 for the latest and greatest technology. I think these devices have peaked and probably a few generations ago as many people say all but the top end give mediocre shaves. I do think this gives a good shave for an electric, it's never going to be as good as a wet shave, and that's fine by me. I bought this to save time and to get a camera ready shave for zoom meetings. The pod replacements are more affordable than the Japanese model and the blade cassette is more affordable due to the simpler design. So the cost of maintenance on this shaver is arguably the biggest factor since it will exceed the initial cost of the razor. Unlike the other European brand famous for rotary shavers, this device is a good budget item, but it doesn't feel budget. It doesn't feel premium either, it feels like the right tool for the job at the right price. If you want to pamper yourself, looking at the Japanese brand is maybe a great idea, but if don't care about the super extra luxury features then this shaver is perfectly adequate and more than needed

Love how close this razor shaves. It works great in the shower with shaving cream or if you just want a quick shave without the cream.

So all my life I have used a razor blade and now knowing that someone else may have to shave me when I am not able. Did research and found this one saying it was one of the best electric razors care givers like to use. To be honest, I have no idea why I didn’t buy one years ago. It’s fantastic with a close shave and self cleaning. Two thumbs up, wow wish I had know.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I really like the charging base, its solid and supposed to clean the machine.. I did not shave for 2-3 days and the shaver really had problems, I had to go over and over the same spot, some of the spots I was even afraid because it felt like pulling a hair, hurt. On the end after double time as for my wet shave, I still had spots left :( So I had to pull out the wet shaver. I have a feeling even the design feels nice and compact its outdated. I grow up in Germany and some companies think the don't need to improve a design :( For me at least its not working, I will try one more time on a 1-2 day shave where my hair is not so strong ! But really hope the other brand with 3 rotating heads will do a better job ! After testing Phillips Rotary Shave System, Braun seems to be 10 years behind thats why the one Star ! The other shaver gets almost all hair on first or 2nd run, while the Braun I have to go 5 times ! Also it includes an App that your phone can connect to the shaver monitoring how you shave advising you to rotate more and showing when blades need to be replaced. Sorry Brown you need to innovate and not wait 10 years or more ! Thank you Amazon for having the option returning items that not work very well !

This was a great birthday present 6 years ago and it quit holding a charge, so now I am buying it again because he loves this razir so much....so glad it was still avaliable

Disappointing shaver. I should have returned it. While it shaves nicely it leaves wisker residue everywhere. No easy trimmer.

Recebi o produto em bom estado. Excelente barbeador, muito satisfeito!
