5.0 out of 5 stars Whiz! Bang! Pow! This one has it all!, April 9, 2008

(REAL NAME)
Due to the weight of favorable reviews, I bought the Braun shaver. It does, indeed, rival a blade shave, and it does it eons more quickly and comfortably. On top of that, it’s built like a fine watch, and has enough bells and whistles to keep even the most jaded user happy. It is only a small tad “noisier” than my previous Norelco shaver, but the comparison ends there. This is the razor of all razors.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best Electric Shave I’ve Ever Had, March 23, 2008
By Cav Trooper
I was skeptical about the volume of top rated reviews, but decided to trust them and bought this $250 shaver anyway. It is great; I’ve largely stopped razor shaving since I got this thing. It is, hands down, the best electric shave I’ve ever gotten. After shaving it feels like a razor shave. The cleaning system is nice too. I am very happy with it; it gives a great shave and the cleaning system seems to keep it very clean (and lemon-fresh too!).
5.0 out of 5 stars Best shaver I’ve ever used, February 29, 2008
By Adam (Houston, TX USA)
I’ve been shaving with electric razors for over 20 years, and I’ve always had problems with razor-burn around my jaw and neckline despite trying several popular preshave products and razors. However, about a month ago, I’ve finally decided to spring for a Braun Pulsonic 9595 (790cc), and I’m happy to report I no longer have any problems with razor-burn. This is a wonderfully close-shaving electric razor–it even has a special central strip in its head that will cut through a thick, multi-day shadow with no painful pulling or pinching. None of the other dozen or so electric razors I have tried over the years have ever managed to do this!
5.0 out of 5 stars African American Men (and men of all races) I have found the answer!, January 9, 2008
By Xenos (Cambridge, MA)
This is a matchless razor – absolutely remarkable.
Like many men, and particularly black men, I get ingrown hairs, razor bumps and all kinds of irritation. I’ve tried everything to fight what seemed to be a losing battle – from the gillette fusion & mach 3, to electric shavers and even straight razors. This Braun shaver is in a league of its own. It’s by far the smoothest, quickest, most hassle-free razor I’ve ever used.It does come pretty close to a razor shave. If you’re looking for something that’s going to keep razor bumps in check that black men are susceptible to, then this is a definite winner. I realize it’s quite expensive (i’m a student) but if you can afford it, give it a try. I doubt you’ll regret it.
And these are just a few selections from the 760+ reviews that have been left about the shaver. So as not to be remiss, not everyone has been satisfied with this, but this is a very small percentage. Overall the product has been rated 4.5 out of 5 stars and that is pretty solid support for the quality of the shaver in my book. At the time of writing, the breakdown of rating is:
5 star: (502)
4 star: (120)
3 star: (54)
2 star: (35)
1 star: (56)
So about 12% didn’t like the shaver, 7% found it average, 16% found it good, and the other 75% found it fantastic. Those numbers pretty much speak for the quality of the shaver, especially how the highest 5 star rating has a higher volume of votes than all the other ratings combined!
Anyway, for fun and fairness let us also see the comment that most people voted as being the most helpful of the critical reviews:
3.0 out of 5 stars Not Blown Away, October 20, 2007
By S. Nay
I’ve been using it for about three weeks now and I’m not nearly as impressed as everyone else seems to be. Maybe I got a bad unit or something. It feels nice in the hand and it seems quite powerful and the pop-up trimmer works great. But I’m just not getting a very close shave at all with it. I have to go over all parts of my face and neck two or three times, stretching the skin in every way possible, and even then I still find areas that could have been closer.
It is said that the skin does take a few weeks to get used to a new shaver, so maybe that guy gave up to early, or maybe he is correct that his unit wasn’t working properly, or perhaps the shave simply wasn’t right for him. Of course with everything, your personal mileage may vary, but with 75% satisfaction rate on Amazon.com an overwhelming majority of people have found this to be a truly super shaver. Feel free to read more reviews on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk
So, if all of the above is not convincing enough for you that this is a fantastic high quality, high satisfaction shaver, then perhaps this shaver really is not for you. If it is a matter of price, you could opt for the 790cc’s little brother, the 760cc, the main differences being there is no fast clean option in the cleaning unit – although this is perhaps not that big of a deal to you. The other major difference is rather than having an LCD screen where text will inform you about the status of the shaver, the 760CC only has LED lights to inform you. Again perhaps more of a nice feature than a must. Only you can decide whether these things add enough value for you. The only other difference is in the cosmetics, whereas the 790cc is silver and dark blue, the 760cc is silver and gray. At the time of writing, the price of the 760cc $204.99. Personally, for a measly $25 difference on a $200+ product, I’d have to say it is better to get the 790cc or getting a cheaper shaver. (For UK visitors: the 760cc is not sold in the UK, probably because the silly price difference does not justify it.)
