What a Surprise!

Over the last couple of years I have noticed that shaving has become a real chore, not least because it seems to take so long. I have used Philishave all my shaving life and feel now that I need to change. My old - actually only a little over a year old - razor seems to spend more time pulling out my hairs and when it does cut, it doesn't cut enough off, so I still have stubble.

I've toyed with the idea of changing to a Braun for a few years now and finally I bit the bullet and went for this model - Braun Series 7 Electric Shaver for Men - as I felt that my face needed some help.

Wow

From the very first shave, it was obvious that this was a successful decision. My first shave lasted less than two (YES 2 ) minutes and the result was the closest shave I have had for quite a long while. I could not believe that an electric razor could shave so closely, with minimum effort and time. It was so close that the following day, I actually didn't need to shave!!! Also my skin was/is without any nicks or soreness.

I checked out if older skin, I am 72, was any different from younger skin and discovered that the Braun type of shaver is probably best - take my word for it, there is no 'probably' about it - indeed I am actually enjoying shaving again, something I would have never believed.

There is little else to add, except maybe - it feels great in the hand, it is a bit noisy, but that is because it has an extremely fast powerful motor and with a good sized head (the razor's head, not mine) a good shave is quick and straightforward. To answer any questions about the other aspects of the razor is something I have yet to discover, I just wanted you, dear reader of my review, to know just how blown away I am with this amazing shaver.

Well done Braun and thank you.

****UPDATE****

Had this for over a year now and it still gives a really close shave. The shaving blades still seem to be sharp enough and the razor keeps its charge for over a week at a time - big plusses there.

If ever I do decide to upgrade, then it most definitely will be another Braun.

Good strong shaver, space-hungry stand

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 22, 2023

This is an upgrade from my recently dead Norelco (now Philips). The Braun Series 7 shaver gives a good close shave and the head moves with the contours of your jaw. The stand ("SmartCare Center") is quite large and incorporates a disposable, replaceable cleaning system, which seems a bit unnecessary. The shaver also sits upside down in this stand, which leaves beard shavings in the stand. Not a great design, but it's supposed to integrate with the cleaning system in the base of the stand. I've just used the stand only for charging and lie the shaver on its side.

Broken within 2 years

Sadly, although this is a good shaver, it has not lasted. I contacted Braun. They asked me to send it to their shaver repair centre in Nottingham (at my own cost) and have now told me there's a fault in the seal, so water has come in and damaged the shaver beyond repair. I can have a replacement handle for £105.
They offered a mean £20 towards the repair or replacement.

Shaves as close as a blade!

So, I’ve been a wet-shave guy for all my adult life (I’m 54 now). I had a couple of electric razors decades ago but hated them as they pulled hairs and never got anywhere near as smooth as a razor blade shave! Recently I got fed up with the faff of spending 20 minutes with the brush, soap, and blade, so started looking into shavers again.

The Braun series 9 has got rave reviews, and I pondered over it for days (and watched pretty much every YouTube review there was, lol) …but in the end I wasn’t prepared to shell out that kind of money just for a shaver, so chose the series 7, figuring it might not be as good as the 9, but must be better than what I’ve used before….and how right I was.

This thing is amazing! 3 days growth gone in 4 minutes, and it feels just as close as a double-edged blade cut. I have a normal coarseness of hair, and the hairs on my neck grow flat against the skin, but it made no difference to the 7. No irritation, no fuss. A couple of passes over an area and it’s gone! The foils do get very slightly warm, but nowhere near being hot or uncomfortable.

If you’re like me, and looking to get back into electric shaving, don’t bother spending crazy money on a 9. Get yourself a series 7. It’s quick, easy, and you get a wet shave smoothness. I can’t recommend it highly enough. I’m in shock at how good it is!

Poor quality and design

Really poor quality and design in the way the shaver head clips on fell off in use within two weeks and broke the foil. Would not recommend

Not very good

Having just bought this product to replace my Braun series 5 I thought it would be better, never been more disappointed it's tricky to use having to switch heads for the trimmer, no lock on shaving head means you have to keep going over the tricky bits and it doesn't shave as close as series 5 so need to shave more often my advice buy the series 5.

Excellent

After many years using Philishave and finding the quality of the shaves I was getting left a lot to be desired, I decided to change to another make.
After reading and studying the reviews for alternative makes, I decided to give Braun a try as with its 100 day try it or return it offer seemed to me to be worthwhile, I opted for this model.
For the first time in a long while, after using the Braun I now feel that I actually have had a shave!
The weight is right, the foil head and cutters move freely over the face and manage even the most difficult of stubble, and I've yet to use the sideboard trimmer as the shaver head does the job well.
The motor feels and sounds like it has the power to deal with the most difficult of stubble, unlike my previous shavers!
Cleaning and charging is simple. Remove the foil head, rinse it, reassemble, place into the cleaning station, press the button, and that's it! Thorough clean, disinfects, lubricates, and charges all in one go leaving the shaver with a lemon aroma.
Downside - The pictogram instructions can be rather confusing especially with regard to releasing the shaver from the cleansing station, without spilling cleaning fluid in the attempt!
Overall - An excellent piece of kit.

Not as good as old t series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 13, 2024

My old series 7 gave up the ghost recently after a few years good service, and I bought the new one. "If it's not broke don't fix it" was not in the designers remit. It is slower and does not cut as well. the cleaning base cleans and charges each time the razor is inserted, no control over it at all. Seems as though it is designed purely for cost cutting.
