Product Information

As a result, you can use it for dry shaves, simply rinsing it in water as you shave or trim your facial hair. I don’t think the difference between the old and new parts is significant in this regard, but I still highly recommend getting the updated cassettes as some of the older ones were prone to breaking. The Braun Electric Shaver Series 9 Pro 9427s and the 9417s, on the other hand, come with a cleaning brush and charging stand. Just make sure to wait for 20 to 30 seconds after applying the splash to your face to make sure it has evaporated completely.

Would you know if there’s any such table around or maybe you have your own which you might be able to share ? I was presented with several reasonable offers on Braun razors and wanted to see which decision you would have made. The foils getting excessively hot can very well be a sign of wear and you’ll likely need to replace the shaving head. There’s also a new color option available with the Series 9 Pro that roughly translates from German to Precious Metal or Noble Metal.Your observation regarding the different results you get depending on the orientation of the shaving head is correct. These stainless steel alloys offer moderate to good corrosion resistance and remain magnetic after hardening. I found that the head orientation is best with the Hyper- Lift-and-Cut trimmer facing the back of the shaver. The charging case is very solid and will give you enough charge for a couple of weeks away in Bermuda. While I was convinced that the Series 9 Pro (94xx) would be the last variation of the almost decade-old Series 9, it turns out I was wrong.

The closeness of the shave with the Series 9 Pro seems to be slightly better compared to the regular Series 9, even though the two foil elements have remained unchanged — there’s no info from Braun regarding any improvements in that area. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, it really is a valuable piece of information that we should all take into account. Luckily, the new shavers are also easy to identify as they too use a consistent name scheme and all of them start with 93.If you are satisfied with the dry shave performance of your Series 9 there’s really no reason to use it with shaving cream. The 9419s comes in a matte gold finish and also includes a gold charging stand and a hard leather case. Oddly enough, just one year after the big launch, Braun rolled out an apparently minor update to the Series 9 that caused a lot of fuss and also raised some questions.

Even given the cutters are fresh out of the box, this model gives me the best shave in over 50 years.Precisely, every model in the original Series 9 family starts with 90: 9090cc, 9095cc, 9093s, and so on.

However, while it’s superior to the Series 7 with regards to raw cutting power, in my experience the Series 7 is better at capturing flat lying hairs. I also use the pre electric shave lotion from Speick alongside Lectric shave and that one works decently, even though I’m not too fond of the scent. The new ones seemed to feature 5 elements vs 4, when in fact the SkinGuard element was present on the older ones as well, only that it wasn’t explicitly mentioned or touted as being an actual shaving element (it’s not). I could see dry-dry being the requirement only if the first cleaning step was a fluid free air blow for loose particles.You can very well replace Series 9 Pro with Series 9 PRO+ in the comparison above as the latter shaves exactly the same. With it oriented the opposite way (the way Braun ships it), the “skin guard” impedes proper function of the Lift-and-Cut trimmer diminishing shave closeness. I have not yet tried the Panasonic yet (will be arriving soon) and I don’t know how my skin will at first respond with a dry shave using the Arc5 but when I do I will be commenting on this post with my personal results and opinions. Sonic Technology - With 40,000 cross cutting actions powered by Sonic micro-vibrations to remove more hair than any other shaver. My original head lasted 16 months and was still working well, although the blue paint on the trimmer quickly chipped off in the first 4 months of ownership.
