What owners single out
In their words
“So the Braun electric Razor works amazing the first few days. After a few weeks it seems to work like any other electric razor. The problem I have with this product is its claim that you should swap the replacement head after 18 months. I would be happy if it lasted 12 months; but so far each shaver head has lasted me on average 6 months. The first time I had to replace the heads was after 9 month”

“This shaver is simply awful. It literally sucks. First shave and already have 3 cuts on my skin. And it leaves patches everywhere. Been an exclusive Braun user for over 30 years and their quality has definitely gone downhill. Previously was using a Braun series 9 shaver which lasted 5 years and just died. Please don't waste your money”
