The Shave-inator

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2006
The Bottom Line: The 8585 is a marked evolution from the 7000-series and well worth the investment.
Review: Opening
I've used an electric shaver since college. More specifically, I've used Braun products and gotten good results. I should preface this epinion by saying that each face and skin-type will "prefer" a certain type of shave. Some do better...

Great Shave, no hassle

Date of Review:  Jul 18, 2006
The Bottom Line: This is a great shaver. Good smooth shave, and the cleaning system is amazing.
Review: I've had this shaver for about a month now and I absolutely love it. It only took about a week for my face to get used to it (previously used a Mach 3) instead of the 3-4 weeks described on the package. It gives me a fantastic shave every time.

Very Reliable Shaver

Date of Review:  Jan 25, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you want a top notch quality shaver, this is the way to go. If a closer shave is what you want, look at Remington or Panasonic units.
Review: I had a Remington Interceptor 3 shaver which died due to battery failure. At the time, Remington had stopped selling this line and were shutting down their stores. Time for a new shaver, but which one? I liked the idea of a self cleaning system. I...

Decent but not amazing

Date of Review:  Sep 6, 2007
The Bottom Line: It's a decent razor if you can get it at a discount price, but factor in spending upwards of $75/year on fluid and a replacement foil.
Review: I received this shaver for my birthday three years ago. It's a decent razor but I have a few issues. Specifically:

It gets dirty with absolutely no use at all. I only shave every few days and after I've cleaned it, a few days later the...

Amazed

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2006
Review: I have been shaving for over 25 years and had always used a stick razor. I spent over 21 years in the military and sergeants don't put up with sloppy shaves. I had tried several electric shavers but found none that could cut it so to speak. None...

Shaves virtually as close as a blade

Date of Review:  Aug 28, 2007
Review: Blade vs Electric? No two people will agree. Blade arguably shaves closer, but this Braun 8585 shaves virtually as close as a blade if you take your time. I love the convenience of being able to retrieve it from its base - already fully charged and...

Great shaver

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2006
Review: I've used electric shavers for several year. I had a Braun as my first shaver, but I replaced it with a Norelco when it's battery died. The Norelco was the "lift-and-cut" rotory type. I like to skip shaving on the weekends, and after 3 years, the...

Save on Replacement Cleaning Fluid

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2006
Review: I bought this model to replace a rotary razor that had died. I haven't found the closeness of the shave to be that much of an improvement, since I used to clean the heads on the rotary somewhat often. However, the self-cleaning feature is very nice,...
