Braun Series 7- 760cc Shaver-Customer Reviews for Buy Guide

After a full month I'm very impressed
I thought I'd wait a full month (and cleaning cycle) to write this review, and I have to give this razor 5 stars almost across the board:

 

Shave quality - ***** - After a few days I would have given this only 4 stars, as it seemed only as good as the Braun 7526 I replaced with this razor. But after a full 3 weeks or more, my face (or my technique) adjusted and this razor gives me a better shave than the 7526 in about the same time.

 

Comfort - ***** - This razor is far more comfortable than the 7526, not nearly as much irritation. I took care of my 7526, replacing the blades and foil annually, but this is a far superior razor. As a bonus, it is also quieter, which my wife likes too.

 

Cleaning - ***** - I have now run through a full cleaning cycle, and I think the automatic system helps save a bit of the fluid in the cartridge; I gained at least 4-5 days on the first cartridge over what I used to get (4 weeks). Cartridge changing is just as easy as before.

 

Styling - *** - The Braun guys should have asked their auto compatriots for help here. A silver razor, refrigerator white cleaning stand, and black power cord. Not nearly as nice as the black on black of the 7526. Just an esthetic issue, but you have to wonder what they were thinking.

 

Charging - it automatically charges each time you put it back in the cleaning unit, whether you clean it or not. Much better than the old model where you had to select "charge" every time.

 

Overall, this is a great razor - I don't know if it's because of the sonic feature, but whatever, it works. I wanted to be critical of this razor due to its cost, but it is a step above the $130-150 razor.

 

That was a close Braun Series 7- 760cc Shaver.
I really wanted to like this razor, especially considering its price. My concern was focused on the closeness of the shave and after using it for two weeks, I am very pleased with the shave that I get. The other drag from using an electric was the cleanup, but it is effortless with this razor. The two LEDs on the base station indicate the level of cleaner remaining and how "dirty" the razor is. If you did not charge the razor for some reason, you can operate it as a corded shaver, as the power cord can be plugged directly into the razor. Very nice product.
I had used one of the nivea norelco models, but hated the clean up. The power turbo razor gives a marginally closer shave, but I was prone to cutting myself under my nose and below my lower lip.

 

A better Braun Series 7- 760cc Shaver
For about forty years I have been using strictly electric Braun shavers. From a corded single screen one to now this Pulsonic three knife system.
My previous model was the 7526 and very similar, in fact the closeness of shave is the same. There are a few improvements: the body is easier to grip, battery is improved, and the cleaning system has more choices. In using the shaver I also like the angle that the cutting head has to the body of the shaver, when locking the cutting head it becomes even better.
If I have to find fault anywhere it would be the trimmer; it is somewhat flimsy and awkward to use but it works.
All in all the Braun gives you a shave as close as an electric shaver can and works well around problem areas like the throat and angles of the lower jaw. The cleaning system is also worth it because it cleans, lubricates, desinfects and charges the shaver with just a push of the button. How easy is that?
In close to forty years none of the Brauns I used has quit on me and this one makes my wife even happier!
