Braun Series 7 Electric Shaver for Men - Wet & Dry Cordless Foil Razor with Precision Trimmer & SmartCare Center | 100% Waterproof | UK 2 Pin Plug (Model 70-N7200cc, Black) | Perfect for Travel, Home & Office Use

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.WowFrom 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.
