Series 8 Electric Shaver with PowerCase and 5-in-1 SmartCare Center, 8577cc

As far as the foil goes, make sure to monitor if it ever gets dented or damaged and replace it when those situations occur. Most replacement cartridges for electric razors include the foil since the foil is pretty fragile. Expect to pay anywhere from $20-$50 for replacement blades or cartridges on your electric razor. Ideally, you want to clean your electric razor after every use to keep the blazes sharp. For most modern models, the process is easy as they’re designed to be rinsed under running water.

However, if you do not see waterproofing as a feature, then the device should not be stored anywhere where there is a high water saturation potential. The 1950s also saw the start of kitchen appliances, like the mixer MX 3 and the kitchen machine (Küchenmaschine or kitchen machine) Braun KM 3. The KM 3 is a family of food processors that started with the model KM 3/31 in 1957.

The Braun ProSkin also features a specialized micro-comb design to capture more hair on the first stroke. It’s important to note that using an electric razor requires a break-in period—for your face, not for the razor. It takes about two weeks for your skin to get used to using an electric razor. Once I passed through that window, I was amazed that my razor bumps decreased significantly and never really came back. braun shavers My picks would be the Arc 5 models from the older generation, with models like the ES-LV65 and ES-LV67 which can be bought at a reasonable price and shave just as close as the newer and much more expensive models. Panasonic razors are effective when used on short stubble and struggle a lot with longer and flat-lying hairs, so you should definitely keep that in mind if you shave only once or twice a week.

All of them however use the same shaving head, so you won’t have any issues in the future even if you buy the 83 Series 8 (like the 8330s for example). I think 3 days between shaves is the maximum this shaver can handle and still provide an effective and enjoyable shave. Also, the Series 3 ProSkin BT models like the 3010BT come with a trimmer attachment and 5 combs if you need to trim and maintain a beard. And even though Braun integrated trimmers are not as effective as the ones on Panasonic shavers, they’re still better than not having one at all. Personally, I never cared for corded use and Braun shavers usually have excellent batteries that are very reliable in time.

But buying a Series 3 ProSkin cc model for the price of a solo Series 8 for example just doesn’t make sense to me. You may be able to get the station through eBay for example at a great price and pay a total price that is less than the cc variation of that shaver. Of course, in most cases, a station purchased later on will work fine (please refer to each series above to see if or which station will be compatible).

And because the usefulness of a cleaning station is relative, I will share my personal take on this. The Braun Series cc or 9370cc are usually the ones to get if you want a cleaning station as well. You should buy a Series 9 or 9 Pro/PRO+ if you shave less often, and have coarse/wiry/flat-lying hairs or sensitive skin. With other shavers (like the Arc series from Panasonic) the improvements are more significant. It’s the most capable and powerful and it can effortlessly deal with pretty much any type of facial hair.

The station will charge the shavers, but the cleaning part will never work. The old Series 7 solo models will work with a compatible cleaning station purchased separately. As a personal side note, I recommend getting a solo Series 3 (basic or ProSkin) since you’ll be saving some money and the shavers are easy to clean manually. Since some Series 3 ProSkin models include a cleaning braun hair removal station, you might want to know if a solo shaver will also work with a cleaning station purchased later on. Precisely, the ProSkin models come with a better shaving head that’s gentler to the skin and also better at catching flat-lying hairs. Moreover, all models come with an integrated hair trimmer and a protective cap, something we don’t see on other shavers at this price point.
