Thanks for reading my review of the Braun 9390
I have had one or two shavers in the past. All less than £100. With those I always ended up sore, cut skin and rashes. This was my first Braun and I am genuinely impressed with the results. It cuts very close to the skin and I have no rashes or cuts at all.
This may be because technology has improved with electric razors as to has the hygiene of them thanks to the self cleaning station.
It’s fast, feels well made and powerful. There is absolutely no plucking. It does feel slightly warm when using it for more than 10 mins (I’m slow) which I quite like. After all who wants to feel a freezing cold mental against their face?
I have used it both dry and with foam and both are comfortable. The closeness of the shave slightly better with foam but not by much. Monday to Friday I just dry shave now.
Nothing can match a wet razor, but this comes close. My reason for purchasing it was because in the week when getting up for work I often cannot be assed with wet shaving. Simply turn it on and start shaving. Done. No mess. No hairs on my nice white shirt.
One downside is, it’s very noisy. So if you were planning on using this in your en-suite and not waking up your other half it probably won’t work. I use mine in the main bathroom and I haven’t woken up the house as of yet. Perhaps it’s because at 4am everything seems louder than it really is?
Something else I’d like to mention that is often overlooked is that shaving isn’t a pleasure to me. Tugging of skin. Being wet and cold. Nicks and cuts. With this it’s actually enjoyable to an extent. Of course making me looking professional and clean shaved for the day ahead. It’s sometimes nice when giving myself a wet shave at the weekend to run the Gillette over it for some super smooth skin but this isn’t really needed unless you’re as fussy as me.
Give it a try. You get a 100 day money back guarantee so there isn’t nothing to use. Also buy from Amazon guys. Exchanges etc are a lot easier than somewhere like Argos where the staff get funny when trying to return an item.
