Works great on face, but Im still using my Schick on my neck. This is absolutely useless on the neck. It is great for guys with sensitive skin, and those with problems with ingrown hairs. I've had it 4 months, and only one ingrown hair. Worth the money if you deal with shaving your neck by other means.
I give this Braun a 2 out of 5. It's not junk, and does a half-decent job, but it takes a long time to shave with, isn't as close as you'd want, and is more expensive. And so are the replacement foils and blades.
I learned today that the cheaper Norelco beats this Braun hands-down.

I used the Braun product for 8 months. I gave it a fair chance. Unfortunately I was never really completely happy with it. It took so long to get the job done - probably 10-15 minutes or so. And never got as close as blades. BUT....I discovered a big upside to electric. Less annoying and painful ingrown hairs (angle of cut). So I stuck with the Braun and sacrificed my time and shaved with this product and planned to get new foils and blades when necessary, sure that I'd save money in a few years, plus enjoy less ingrowns. I lived with the other downsides of this product, constant mess (hair in/around sink), cost of cleaning fluid, and noise.
Then came time to replace the worn foil and discovered the I'd give up another 43 bucks. Shoot...a new Norelco 7310 was 5 bucks cheaper at $38....so I stood there and contemplated. I'd read some good reviews of the Norelcos, plus the replacement blades were 25% cheaper than Braun's.
So I decided to give it a chance. I took it to the car and shaved in the parking lot. It was hands-down a faster, closer, and more pleasing shaving experience. It's a no-brainer. Braun's marketing might fool you....but the reality is that the cheaper Norelco is what you want to take your wallet out for.
In the first instance, this razer does not shave all that well. When my old razer died, I bought a $25 dollar Norelco as an emmergency replacement. After upgrading to this...and giving my face time to adjust...and doing several variations of side by side test...I was suprised and dissappointed to see that this razor takes longer and doesnt shave as close as the $25 Norelco, particularly for day to day use. (The Norelco seems to do poorly if days are skipped, as on the weekend, while this doesnt seem to matter as much with the Braun.)
While the side-by-side tests might warrant one star alone, consider how you would feel if you tried to use this thing to shave your bald head and 80% of the hair taken from your face immediately dumped on your head. Not a one time thing, it just doesnt hold shavings properly. Even in routine facial use it does leak some shavings, which isnt cool for a razor in this price range.
Avoid. Dont get sucked in by the hype.
For some reason, I can't get this shaver to do a clean shave on my neck. It simply can't follow the curves of a neck very well. It does a great job on my face however. I continued to try it for about 3 months, and still couldn't get a clean shave on my neck, and when I came close, I had to run it over my neck so many times that it causd irritation. Guess I'll go back to my old shaver and just replace the foils.
The cleaning fluid seems like a gimmick. I never needed it before...
I've owned this for about two months now, and (according the the shaver) I've shaved 35 times.
This is the first electric shaver I've ever owned, and before I bought this I researched and read many reviews, and was pretty sure this was one of the best ones. After I used it for the first time I was a little disappointed. It took me about twice as long to shave compared to a normal razor, and afterwords I could feel a lot of little hairs it would miss. In order for me to get a decent shave I would have to use one hand and stretch my skin and go over spots a lot with it, but could still see it missing some of the ones that were laying flat against my face.
I finally got the hang of it, and can now get a pretty good shave, but it still takes quite a while and sometimes can't get them all. If I ever need to get somewhere quick I always reach for my manual razor and shaving cream.
Another little annoyance, is the self cleaning thing. It has 3 different cleaning modes (eco, normal, intensive), and I figured it would select the mode based on how clean/dirty it was; This is not the case. I would clean it pretty good manually after every shave because I was hoping to save money by not going through the cleaning solution as fast. So after one shave and putting it back in the charger it said it just needed an "eco" clean. If I would shave, then clean it manually, then not put it back in the base and shave again, and clean it manually again, then put it in the base it said it needed a "normal" clean. So it's not based on how dirty it is, it's based on how long it's used between cleans. So it's probably better to just let it clean itself using the "eco" clean after every shave, because I think three "eco" cleanings is less time than an "intensive" one, meaning less cleaning solution used.
After 2 months and 35 shaves; According to the base, the cleaning solution is still full, so I'm happy with that. But the other day the display on the shaver said to replace foil and cutting head, I only saw it once, but I was hoping that would last for at least 6 months, we'll see..
I bought this shaver for my husband and i cant say a bad thing about it. It was definitely worth the money, my husband says its the closest shave he has ever had. I would definitely recommend this product to my friends and family.
The series 5 (8995) shaver produced a very close shave for me. I used a Norelco shaver for thirty years. I thought that I would try the Braun to see if it would be a closer shave. I believe that it is. I wanted the series 7, but went with the series 5 due to price (about $60 difference). I am very pleased with the function and feel of the shaver. It is much easier to handle and maneuver around my face. Don't know if it needs to be cleaned as often as the shaver displays. Highly recommend this shaver.
Does not give as good a shave as the past Braun's I have owned. First time that I have had razor nicks with an electric shaver.
Received as a Christmas present, I was going to "make myself like it" if it didn't fully measure up. No worries. This is the best shaver I've ever used, from early Shick, later Remingtons, Norelcos & even Braun's, though they [Braun] were the best up to this point. Fresh-out-of-the-carton shave was just plain fantastic. Really, REALLY close - without taking any particular pains. Subsequently, I have been using Williams "Lectric Shave" with it, hoping to extend the life of the shaver head, but it shaves fine either way. Haven't yet tried its cleaning station, having been on the road. Can't speak to it's longevity, yet - but I sure am happy on the honeymoon. I never expected a shave this good from an electric razor. Put me down as "amazed" and exceedingly pleased.
Gives a realively close shave for an electric razor. The only other shave I like that is closer is a safety razor shave.
