Braun Ultrak 30 Lap Memory 2 Line Display Electro-Luminescent Stopwatch

Pros: Cleaning base, good shave quality, effective on longer beard, price (special)

Cons: May cut small skin protrusions, restricted head articulation, not as close as wet shave, buzzy

The Bottom Line: Finally a shaver that can tackle my occasional 1 week beard, but not without the typical issues.

Review: Manufacturers of all kinds of shavers face a difficult problem to solve every year: How to improve on such a mature product line and still get customers to toss their old and buy the new. I have been following the Philips/Norelco product line for...

Pros: Skin loves the shave, reasonably quick shave, unit is constantly clean and charged. Reliable.

Cons: Takes several passes to get a complete shave.

The Bottom Line: Want a shave that's easy on the skin and easy to use? Not blade smooth on the first pass, but 100x better on the skin. No more shaving cream!

Review: I did a lot of shopping around before I bought the Braun and checked the epinions reviews. The other reviews are spot-on. It's not quite as close as a blade and requires several passes to get really smooth. Using ElectricShave pre-treatement helps...

Pros: Close shave without 500 passes, no pulling, catches ingrowns on collar line.

Cons: Foil seems to be delicate, but has held up fine.

The Bottom Line: If you like foil shavers, this new Braun technology is outstanding!

Review: I replaced a Braun FreeGlider model 5617 with the newer improved 8975 - 360 complete.

What you get: The new razor, a nice hardsided carry case, brush for cleaning, cord for power, and the razor/shaver.

What you don't get: this is...

Pros: Closest shave of any razor I have used, cleans itself

Cons: Flat shape, bulky base doesn't travel, cleaning is loud, bright blue LEDs distracting in dark

The Bottom Line: Recommended for tough, fast growing beards where other electric shavers have failed

Review: Competition

I'm not going to delve into the other competition on the market, since I haven't used those razors personally. Instead, I must mention that I've used other shaving solutions over the years, and compared the Braun 360...

Pros: Convenience, comfort, and effective.

Cons: Cleaner a bit noisy.

The Bottom Line: I find the Braun 360 to be a very effective, and easy to use product.

Review: Let me step into a time warp here. It has been a long time (let's not beat around the bush - probably 26 years) since I tried an electric razor. And there is a very good reason why. I think my parents had bought me an electric razor for my birthday,...

Pros: quieter than my old Braun

Cons: takes several passes to shave as close as I like.

The Bottom Line: This shaver is a good buy, but try one or two others if you can to see if they can do the same thing with less work.

Review: I wish I had the nerve and energy to take advantage of the thirty day return policy on electric shavers. The only way to find the best shaver for yourself, I believe, is to buy each one that looks promising, try it out for 25 days and then return...

Pros: close shave, quick, cleans self, and no irritation

Cons: price (if not on sale), and considerably louder than Norelco's

The Bottom Line: Buy if you can afford it because you can't get a better shave. It also cleans itself for you.

Review: This is by far the best electric I have owned. Granted the only others I have had were two Norelco, one of which used lotion during shaving. I bought this shaver about a month and a half ago. I got it on-line from Kohl's for $75. I had had my...

Pros: A decent shaver. Nice close shave, with a little stubble. easy to use.

Cons: Maybe a little noisy, nothing serious. It is , after all an electric razor.

The Bottom Line: I would buy this razor again, but am still curious about the other brands and types

Review: This is the first electric shaver that I've had in about 20 years. I had one way back when, but it was a cheaper Remington at the time. Definitely not a fair comparison.

The old model died of natural causes (age) and I decided to go back...

Pros: Close shave, pivoting head and trimmer

Cons: Use common sense to save money on cleaner and cutters

The Bottom Line: The razor works very well for me. I like using it. Use your head - only clean it when it needs it!

Review: I've had a Braun 360 Complete Electric Shaver for almost two years now and I really like it's ability to shave! I have a short beard, but I use a shaver to keep my neck and cheeks free of facial hair as well as keeping the beard trimmed with the...

Pros: Cleaning system is better than previous design. There is nothing else positive to note.

Cons: Bad foil and cutter design. Takes forever to complete shave and foil fails frequently.

The Bottom Line: Do not buy this shaver, it is not reliable and not very effective. Very poor value for the money.

Review: I have used Braun shavers loyally for as many years as I can remember. I bought the 8985 three months ago to replace a Braun 7526 which was worn out after years of use. The 8985 is the worst shaver I have ever owned. Like many of the previous...
