Excellent toy, but you can shave for less.

byvrapp Dec 24, 2004
24 Helpfuls 25 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Excellent entertainment item
Cons Many of the features are unnecessary for the shaving; needs refills.
Recommended it? No

I already have Braun 6520 shaver, which I'm happy with, and which has very good feedback here on Epinions if you check it out; now I've got the latest model, 8595 Activator as a present. So naturally, I compared them.

While 6520 did not much more that just shaving, Activator goes much... Read full review »

Pros The cleaning process, foil design, charge process, the shave.
Cons Buying cleaning solution cartridges.

The Issue

I hate shaving. It's not just the act of shaving; it's the whole shaving process. With a blade it's the water and shaving cream all over the place, and the occasional cuts that never stop bleeding - no matter how late you are for something (the later you are, the more it... Read full review »

Not a Close Shave

byshadowpdf Apr 14, 2006
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Clean shaving head every time
Cons Hard to get a close shave.
Recommended it? No

I waited a couple of years to get this shaver. I've been shaving for 30 years. To me, it looked like the perfect blend of form and function, at least as far as shaving is concerned.

The price was a little high (hence the delay in buying it), but I believed it would be worth the price. I... Read full review »

Pros Hygienic automatic cleaning base, Efficient smart foil, quick charging, informative LCD...
Cons Price tag
Recommended it? Yes

My last electric razor purchase had been about 6 years ago when I had bought a top of the line Norelco with the lift and cut system. I had such a terrible experience with that electric razor I swore I would never leave the Gillette Mach 3 again! However, after all of those years of spending a... Read full review »

Unbelievably Close Electric Shave!

bymakowals Feb 24, 2005
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Ultra-close shave; _very_ light five o'clock shadow later in the day, self-cleaning
Cons Moderate to high initial cost, on-going maintenance costs (cleaning...
Recommended it? Yes

I received my Braun Activator as a gift for Valentine's Day. Having been a user of another, albeit lower-priced ($24) Braun shaver, I was curious to see how much closer a shave I could get from a shaver that cost 7 times as much.

My first impression was "this thing is _REALLY_ SOLIDLY... Read full review »

An odd duck

14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Nice smooth shave, sometimes.
Cons Noisy. Takes space (big plug). Smelly.
Recommended it? No

The battery in my old Norelco went bad, so I picked up the Braun 8595 on impulse while shopping at BJ's. I've had it for 3 weeks now and am ready to report.

I really had no idea what to expect from this shaver other than a great shave. The box wasn't very helpful; I figured that by paying... Read full review »

Just Try It!

14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Comfortable, very little irritation, hygienic
Cons Not a close shave, trimmer location, noisy base
Recommended it? Yes

I was looking for a new electric Razor when my Panasonic died and I firmly believe in the old saying "you get what you pay for". I naturally assumed that because this one had the biggest price tag on it at Target, it had to be the best!

The other reviewers are right on the mark when they... Read full review »

Best Shave I've Ever Had (sensitive skin)

13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Only the best shaver and the best shave EVER!
Cons $100 might seem like a lot, but it's a great value
Recommended it? Yes

I've owned three electric shavers before this one, all of them rotary Norelcos. This shaver is so far above and beyond all of the others I've tried that I am completely amazed.

I can get a better shave with this than with a blade, which I imagine is probably not true for everybody, but my... Read full review »

[12/9/05 - AN UPDATE TO MY ORIGINAL REVIEW WILL BE FOUND AT THE END]

I've been a confirmed user of Braun foil shavers for more than 15 years. After my 6-year old Flex Integral gave up the ghost (the pins that held the foil popped loose so the foil wasn't secure any more), I decided to see... Read full review »

Pros Quality product, cleaning base and charging station.
Cons Price. Size of charging base.
Recommended it? Yes

I have traditionally used rotary razors in the past and decided to give the Braun Activator a try. I purchased my razor at Costco for $139.00. The price was a bargain considering the razor came with an extra foil and razor block. I like the fact that the razor came out of the package fully charged... Read full review »
