Great Shaver even without the cleaning dock - Reviewed on 2008-11-04

I bought this shaver to replace the sonic shaver made by Braun that I purchased and hated. I have used electric shavers for years. The sonic shaver was nice, but since i am in the military and deploy, the head gets all gunked up without the cleaning station...and no one will ship the alcohol containing cleaner to Afghanistan or Iraq. So, i had to switch.

One thing that is great is the gillette blade technology. It really makes a difference. I first had the 360 complete that had the same gillette blades and loved that one...but, i also left it in a tent in Kuwait. So, my one priority for buying a new razor was having that same technology.

The other great thing is the charge indicator. It gets really cold in Afghanistan and the last thing i want to do is walk through the snow twice to go back and retrieve a power cord.

Overall a great shaver. I would definately reccomend this.

Not impressed for the money paid - Reviewed on 2008-09-09

I got this as a present to replace one of my battery-operated foil shavers which had to retire for the same reason I'm gonna retire this expensive 8975 (aka 550) - razor burns. This shaver gives a pretty close shave, but at what cost? It rips my skin to pieces - my skin got red in a matter of seconds.
ATT'N: for people reading this review - I'm not claiming it's a bad shaver, I have to admit that I know someone who uses it and is very happy with it, it just doesn't suit my type of skin.
So, first star for the close shave, second star for the battery time, second week and I still haven't charged it. And the final star for nifty hard-shell case with the brush :)
Two missing stars for: one ripping my face to pieces second week in a row and one for hard-shell case not being able to hold a cord (what's the point of a dual-voltage shaver, if one has to stick the cord somewhere (not with the shaver)?)
P.S. Bottom line - not recommended to anyone even with a slight case of sensitive skin. :)

Good Shaver, doesn't get neck hair - Reviewed on 2008-08-08

This shaver is sturdy and works well; it shaves very close and the charge lasts for about a week. Like most other shavers, however, it does not get neck hair.

Nice looking and works well - Reviewed on 2008-08-08

Although this item is not cheap, it has worked well for me since I bought it @1 month ago. Braun makes excellent products.

Good for an electric foil - Reviewed on 2008-06-16

2 customers found this review helpful.

I don't know why people keep expecting that an electric razor will cut like a blade on the first pass. I also don't understand why some people say it does. I use an electric because you don't have to take the time to lather up, shave, and rinse. This razor is one of the best I've found overall. The shave is close after a few passes, depending on where you're shaving. It doesn't seem to do very well on the neck, but I've yet to see an electric that does. Sometimes going across rather than up and down allows it to do a better job. The 360 is a little louder than previous rotary shavers I've used, but it is not noticibly noisy. It keeps a good charge and charges fairly quickly. Overall, it's probably the best everyday shaver I've had.
