Panasonic’s super complex flexing shaving heads for example are just annoying and only look good in the specs sheet.

The cleaning stations of the Series 8 and 9 look exactly the same on the outside, but the one of the Series 9 is heavier and all of them are fitted with a fan that dries the shaving head once the cleaning cycle has been completed. So I feel the 9 pro is more comfortable when I am using it, the 8 is more comfortable when I am using it. Glad the Series 8 lived up to your expectations, especially if you don’t notice any differences in shave quality compared to the Series 7. Active drying and charging: shaver is fully dried in 45 minutes, fully charged in one hour, and can be quick-charged for a single shave in 5 minutes.

I’ve been trying to shave his neck with a razor, with only limited success because I’m afraid of cutting him. My son is 17, and has very sensitive skin – currently using an S3 that is pretty awful for razor burn. This shaver uses Braun's unique Sonic Technology with 10,000 micro-vibrations to gently capture more hair and gently glides the razor over the skin. The smaller narrower head feels more precise, and cutting hairs more obviously to my eyes as they go across the hairs.

My Series 3 that I’ve had for years died a few days ago, so I’m now in the market for a replacement shaver. Precisely, the 83 Series 8 s shavers (8330s etc) will work with the old Series 8 station (no drying system) originally shipped with the 83 cc models (8370cc, 8390cc etc), but also with the new one that comes with the 84 cc models (8467cc etc). Sonic Technology delivers micro-vibrations so the electric razor head can glide across your skin while shaving. Just make sure your beard is reasonably short, so ideally you’d want to use them daily or up to every 3 days. It hasn’t happened to the Series 7 shavers that I’ve owned so far but to be fair, I don’t use the trimmers that much as I don’t really like Braun popup or slide-out trimmers (they seem dull and it takes more work to get the job done).

However, considering the above-mentioned differences, getting an 84 Series 8 (aka Series 8 Pro) makes more sense, especially if you can get it for the same money as a similar 83 model. Considering the differences between a Series 9 and 7 (as face shavers), I think a Series 7 will also be good enough.

We absolutely have to compare the Braun Series 8 to the brand’s other top models, namely the Series 7 and Series 9.I’m glad that was the case here as well and that you’re pleased with the performance of your Series 8. The best and most effective way would be to simply rinse the shaving head with warm tap water and every once in a while you can also use a bit of liquid hand soap. The travel case is made out of hard textile material, it feels very sturdy and will offer adequate protection against mechanical shocks. And unsurprisingly, the question on everyone’s mind was of course whether this was the successor of the Series 7.
