Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

When it comes to choosing an electric shaver, Braun Electric Shavers are the number one shaver for many men. Whether you’ve used a Braun electric shaver before or not, you should, on top of looking at the features that comes with the model you like, read reviews about that specific model and compare with other models reviews. Remember that all men have different type of beards, hair thickness, hair density , facial features, etc. The importance of reading other people reviews before purchasing an electric shaver is even more important if you are known to have sensitive skin, as other men with sensitive skin will probably be rambling about it on reviews, forums and blogs.

When reading reviews, go with the majority. You will find that there are always the “complainers” or the “eternal unhappy”, that will often give any product a dark review. Also look for the ones who give an unfair bad review to the product because the store they bought from gave them bad customer service. Remember that you are not comparing stores, but actual products.

So, what should you look for in the actual product? First, there are many models of Braun electric razors. Braun electric razors also come in different sizes (such as the Travel size, that come in a practical little pocket) and price ranges. As a matter of fact, a Braun electric razor of good quality can range anywhere between 30$ to over 200$. While the price is not always an indication of the quality of shaving, it can usually be linked to the number of bells and whistles that come with you new device.

While the ultimate function of Braun electric shavers or any other brand is to provide you with a close shave with as little discomfort as possible, some men like the idea of having other additional features to their gadget.

Okay, if you are not the type whos care for extra cool gadgets, you can stop reading here and go have a look at our top 5 products, as we feature some of the best and affordable Braun models available on the market.

On the other hand, if “rechargeable”, “portable”, “LED-LCD”, “auto-cleaner”, “quick recharge”, “style” , just to name some of the add-ons, intrigue you, you may be interesting in reading further below.

The clean & renew system is an auto-cleaner system that comes with many fancier models of Braun electric shavers. It will allow you to keep your best electric shaver clean at all time. The system also lubrifies the head of the razor, increasing the lifetime and performance of the head and overall shaver.

Battery cell type : Nickel-Hydride versus Lithium-ion. The Lithium-ion cell batteries are used in the more expensive models of Braun electric razors. A known fact is that, compared to the lithium-ion cell, the energy density of the Nickel Hydride has a lower “volumetric energy density” and a higher “self-discharge”. In plain old english, this means that the device using a Nickle-Hydride cell battery will discharge much faster than the one using a Lithium-ion cell battery when not in use.

LCD or LED. And LCD on your Braun electric razor? Just to add a little more personnality to your gadget!

Travel shaver. As you probably know, it is a nightmare to travel in today’s airports. With all the luggage restrictions, the best is to pack light. And what better than a miniature shaver to pack in your luggage, instead of that great but bulky electric shaver of yours. The Braun PocketGo P-70 Men’s Shaver is, with no doubt, the best gadget to have for someone who travels a lot. And if you are the type to forget the cord or the recharging base, this Braun electric razor will work like a charm for you as it uses two AA batteries.

Series 7-790cc Pulsonic Shaver review
The 7-790cc Braun Electric Shavers is far the best electric shaver available on the market. Far superior to any foil electric shavers (Remington, Panasonic, Braun, etc), this pulsonic shaver is a beststeller. Its pulsonic technology allow for 10,000 micro-vibrations per minute which helps cut a bigger amount of hair with every stroke. Also, it has a Gillette blade technology, which allows for extremely close cut without any pulling or tugging. The Power-Comb on the 7-790cc Braun Electric Shavers is a patented technology that lifts problem hairs lying flat to the skin in order to avoid missing hairs in areas that are more difficult to shave. Its Smart Foil pattern also captures hairs growing in different directions for fewer strokes and closer shaves. The 7-790cc Braun Electric Shavers have a clean & renew system, which allows at the touch of a button to automatically clean, lubricates, dry and charge the shavers. Note that they are Energy Star qualified apparatus, and are high quality Braun Electric Shavers. However, quality also comes with price. The 7-790cc is pricey which can put many people off. But this is simply the best shaver out there, and if you are willing to spend the money, you sure will not be disappointed!

Braun Shaver Series 5 570cc review
The Braun Series 5 570cc is a agreat electric razor. If you are in the quest to look for a great Braun electric shaver, this model is worth you reading its reviews. What Braun claims: With its unique cutter and foil system, the 5 570cc cuts as close as a blade. The Power Comb lifts and cuts the hair that is growing against the skin, hair that would otherwise be missed, providing. Some features : a unique Power Comb that lifts and cuts hairs growing flat against the skin that otherwise would be missed, a slim contour-adapting head that slides effortlessly into hard-to-reach areas and an ergonomic grip-friendly that allows total control all over the facial contours. This Series 5 570cc will provide you with a thorough shave all over the face, with no missed hairs. Our review: First, you need to know that the Series 5 is actually the redesign of the popular 360 Complete. As a matter of fact, this Braun electric razor uses the same cutter, therefore provide you with the same quality shave. So if you liked the 360 Complete shave, you certainly will like this one as well. The biggest difference between the old and the new design lies in the overall shape. This newer version is much sleeker, therefore easier to grip. Also, unlike the 360 Complete, the Series 5 Braun electric shavers can be washed under tap water (NOT IMMERSIBLE, but safe to use water to clean it). The best feature of these Braun electric shavers are, with no doubt, their unique cleaning system. The cleaning system uses the Clean and Renew cartridges. Some people have mentionned the high cost of using the cleaning system. A tip for you if you wish to use their cleaning system and save some money: if you clean your shaver every day, you will use a cartridge every month. But if you do a complete wash of your electric shaver only once a week and recap your cartridge between use (to avoid evaporation), the cartridge can last you up to 4 or 5 months. And for people who wonder what the heck is the difference between 760 and 790 Braun electric shavers. None really, except for the number of LED lights (790 looks slightly more sophisticated than the 760), so before purchasing, also have a look at the 790 to see if it’s on sale.

How to use a Braun Electric Razor?

A Braun electric razor is always a great gift idea, whether it is for a best dad’s birthday, an anniversary gift for your dear husband, a present for your brother or a father’s day gift. Braun electric shavers are simply men’s best friend when it comes to shaving.

But if after a few days of using your Braun electric razor, you can’t seem to get it right and have decided to fall back on manual shaving and your good ol’ Mach3, read this, chances are that your are not using this great Braun electric razor properly. To get the most out of Braun electric shavers, read the following tips.

First, as your are shaving, don’t hesitate to use your fingers. Use your fingers to stretch your skin to help the electric razor will smoothly glide on the contours of your face. This ensures that the hair is upright for easier cut.

Then, make sure you are using your new shaving device in a gentle way. Use your Braun electric shaver just like you would use your manual razor, i.e. gently. Do not put too much pressure on the shaver. A Braun electric razor require a light pressure. By doing so, you will minimize the chance of irritation. Remember, you don’t have to do the big of the work, you simply have to let your shaver do the job by letting it glide along the lines of your neck and jaw and the contours of your face.

Try to start with the most sensitive parts of your face or neck. For most men, the neck is the most sensitive area. Hence, as the Braun electric razor heats up (remember it is a machine and will eventually start heating up a little bit), you may get more irritation. Therefore, by starting (when the shaver is still fresh and cool) where it irritates the most, you will minimize the chances of redness, itchiness and further irritation.

As much as possible, try to keep your Braun electric shavers clean. A clean Braun electric razor will do a better job at cutting the hairs. With clean an properly maintained foils and cutters, you will increase the quality of your shaving, reducing the need to pass over the same spots, therefore decreasing the chances of burns and irritation. Luckily, several models of Braun electric shavers use the unique clean and renew system, which automatically wash the foils and cutters of your Braun electric razor.

A Braun electric razor can be your best friend, but learn to be patient when using it. It can be an excellent tool to have around, allows you a convenient way to shave, especially if you are in a hurry. But if you have used manual razors all your life, it may take a few weeks to get used to the feeling of using this electric device, but also to get the hand of using it. So patient is your best friend, just like in any situation. If you haven’t figured yet the best way to use your Braun electric razor, don’t give up just yet, give it a few more go’s.
