Good product, but not perfect

Date of Review:  Apr 12, 2007
The Bottom Line: Quality is very good never had any problems and always clean before shave. Little pricey for unit and scent solutions.
Review: I'll get to the point.

This is my first electric razor and have it since 2005. It took a few months before my skin really felt comfortable. Since the razor blade always irritated my skin it was a pleasure using Braun 8595. When first...

I have found better.

Date of Review:  Nov 28, 2006
Review: I used this razor for about two weeks and I must say I was not impressed. I gave it a fair trial before returning it and buying anouther. I am now using the Philishave 9190cc smart touch. For anyone comparing the two razors there is no comparison...

Disappointing

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2005
Review: Before this shaver i had always used a blade, but as i have sensitive skin and shave everyday, i thought electric would be the better option. As this was my first electric shaver i thought i would splash out and buy the most expensive one i could...

Good shaver but poor quality

Date of Review:  Jul 18, 2006
The Bottom Line: There are better valued and lower maintenance products for lower price.
Review: This is one of Braun's latest "self cleaning" units on the market. Remember that shaving is subjective to each face so some will like it while others may not. The shave is close but requires several passes and light pressure to work well in my case...

good while it lasts

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 2006
Review: Provided a good shave for the first few months. I didn't find the cleaning unit as noisy as some had reported. Cleaning refills are expensive. Cutter and foil lasted about 7 months before the foil showed 1st breakage. I suspect that cleaning cycles...

After a Year, I'm Still Impressed!

Date of Review:  Nov 28, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you are willing to spend the money on a premium electric razor, you should strongly consider the Braun Activator 8595.
Review: Over the years, I've tried several brands of electric razors, only to return to a regular blade. The reasons? Never could get a "close" shave, difficult to clean the razors, batteries that eventually would not recharge.

I have seen the ads...

Best electric I have ever owned

Date of Review:  Oct 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you are fed up with blade shaving and/or rotaries don't work for you, this is the model to try.
Review: Introduction

I had grown tired of blade shaving years ago. The razors cut up my neck, shaving was messy and took up a lot of my time. I had fiddled with the Norelco rotary units a couple times with decent results, but I felt I was putting...

Good alternative to a blade shave

Date of Review:  May 11, 2006
The Bottom Line: For me it's the best overall foil shaver available.
Review: In Nov '05 my doctor recommended I switch from using a razor blade shave (the Mach 3 in my case) to an electric. I was having my third bad in-grown hair infection in 18 months and it seemed to be the result of overly close shaving with a traditional...

Excellent shave, the cleaning system works, but it is a bit pricey

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 2004
The Bottom Line: Outstanding though expensive razor, offering a close shave and quiet operation. The cleaning system really does make a difference in the quality of the shave and your skin.
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...

Just Try It!

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: See review.
Review: 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!
