The best shaver I've ever owned
The title says it all. To be honest, at first, I felt somewhat disappointed because I had a really high expectation of how wonderful this shaver would be based on the price. I also didn't understand the concept for a shaver breaking in since it was made of metal parts. But, I can say that it's gotten better over time. I don't know if my skin adjusted to the shaver, the other way around, or both, but now it feels just right. It doesn't shave too much like my older shaver (it used to leave my skin feel a little raw). The charging stand is very nice. I have never bought a replacement cleaning tank. I just replace it with rubbing alcohol, water, and some mineral oil once in a while. Great shaver.

Braun series 9 9090cc
I was very excited to try a high end foil shaver for the first time. Then "CRASH". i have been using a rotary shaver for most of my life, so i thought to change thing up i try a foil shaver so i went for the best on the market. Huge disappointment as it barely performs with a one day growth. You have to keep going over spots again and again, which makes the shaver head hot and uncomfortable. I am definately going back to a rotary. It was an absolute waste of money.

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser06/17/2023over hypedLooked forward to buying a Braun series 9 razor. Must be the Cadillac of electric razors. Boy was I wrong. From day one this razor did not shave as well as my old Norelco. Doesn't give a close shave and beard clippings fall out on your shirt as you shave.Expensive lesson learned

3.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser01/09/2023Directions are patheticThere is nothing complicated about an electric shaver but the directions leave much to be desired. There is a switch above the power button. I can push it up or down and can tell no difference in the shaver one way or another. What does it do? The pictures that come with it mean nothing. The edger pops up but how do you get it to work? It just pops up with no movement. What turns it on? Why make something simple to be difficult? More info on the powercase would be be helpful. Does it have to be plugged in or does it have a battery in it that holds a long charge? Simple details would be helpful to understand the product better.WW13

3.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser09/20/2022Love and disappointment!Great razor except it only lasted 2 years and that's a lot of $ to have to spend every 2 years ! The worst part of about it, is my 2 friends and brother purchased 1 too ( because I bragged on it so much!) Did I mention, I took excellent care of it? Because I did!Jennifer

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser02/27/2022Falls shortI've used this razor for a little over and have officially given it more than a fair shot. I had high hopes for the S9, but have found that it doesn't get as close, regardless of the angle or amount of tugging. I previously used a Series 7 for 11 years and almost got another one due to how well it performed. But instead, I made the choice to get the newest and most improved version. Aside from the poor closeness the S9 has shown, I've had to replace the cartridge after 7months of use (estimated lifespan is 18months) and the on/off button broke after 6months of use. This isn't really the quality I've come to expect from Braun.Keoni

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser08/25/2021Best Braun EverThis is the best electric shaver I have ever used. I had a really good model Braun shaver prior to this one but after so many years of great service it had to be replaced. The 9290cc is amazing. I "liked" all the features, honestly there is not one feature I would down-grade. This model is the ultimate.Thomas

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser11/17/2020IF YOU WANT A SMOOTH SHAVE TRY A BRAUNMy wife suggested I buy this electric razor. I am 78 years old and have always used a safety razor, so I was not inclined to agree but I was cutting myself due to my "mature" skin. Finally I decided to give this Braun a try and I absolutely love it. After just two shaves my skin got use to the shaver and now I get as close a shave as I did with my safety razor, no more bleeding and my face feels like a baby's bottom. Thanks to my wife and Braun. P.S. My wife uses it on her legs too.Carole

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser09/09/2020The closest shave possible from an electric shaverI switched from a rotary type shaver to buy this top of the line foil shaver. My Braun gives me an incredibly close shave. I am definitely pleased with the performance. Cleaning it is a little messy but I dont need to do it very often. I highly recommend this product.Dave

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser11/05/2019I FEEL LIKE A MAN!!!!WOW!! The Braun Series 9 Electric Shaver is the ABSOLUTE best electric shaver I've ever used on my face! Such clean cuts, doesn't pull too hard and to top it off when you are finished you have your very own sterilizer that comes with it! I would definitely recommend this shaver for any man looking for a new electric shaver!Unknown

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser01/07/2017Excellent shaverI have used Braun shavers for 20 years or longer. I have found them to be superior in performance and durability. I decided to upgrade to the Braun 9 series over the holidays and was glad I did. It is quiet and gives a very close comfortable shave in just a few minutes. Usually you only have to go over an area one time for a close shave. I highly recommend this shaver.Tennessee1525

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser09/11/2016I look forward to shaving nowI was afraid to spend the money on this only to find that it works as poorly as other electric razors. I let my hair grow kind of long to test it so my hair would be laying down and hard to cut. It shaved every single hair, and I know this sounds crazy, but maybe even more closely than my blade. I had to work and go over a couple of spots on my neck 3 or 4 times, but those are really tough spots. The last time I used it, I shaved in about 90 seconds. This shaver is definitely worth the money.Phill132

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser08/04/2016The BestThis is the best electric shave we have owned. We have used it for a bout a week now. Neither of us have razor burn. We were using a much older version of a Braun that just did not seem to do as expected. This razor shaves much closer. The neck area is always the hardest area with any electric model but we are happy with the closeness of this one. It is quieter than our previous one. It is actually the best electric razor we have used and we have used them for over 20 years. We both hate shaving. It is pricey but for us worth every penny. We have been using the cleaning system also. We are pleased with it very much. If it becomes too expensive you could tap out the head every day and use the system once a week I would think. If you are used to a straight razor you may. It like any electric but this may be as close as you will get to the closeness. Highly recommended.Mick
