Do use very light pressure and avoid unnecessary passes, even if that means you won’t get a very close shave. With Braun shavers, I think most users (myself included) will end up using them dry anyway as they’re already good enough — unlike Panasonic for example where you’ll likely get a more comfortable shave. A good pre-shave definitely helps in this situation and you may even see an improvement in the closeness of the shave. However, on my 9385 the indicator is a bit different; When I turn off the shaver the 5 vertical bars will show both the battery status, and the shaving head status (not at the same time).

It’s a lot less likely for the four rectangular pushers to wear out, so this issue should go away when you replace the cassette. The 7 costs less, the replacement cassette is usually cheaper, the razor is easier to use due to its smaller shaving head and in my opinion it’s almost the same with regard to closeness and comfort. Sonic technology and 5 synchronised shaving elements comprising two specialised middle trimmers, two ultra-thin OptiFoils and one dedicated skin guard work in perfect harmony to give you a super-efficient and exceptionally gentle shave. There’s a new battery icon right below it, but oddly that’s not available with all the new Series 9 models. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH).Measured with a smartphone app in a relatively quiet environment (23 DB) from a distance of 10 inches, it emits 57DB, which is not too bad. I think it’s worth purchasing if you’re not happy with a rotary and you think you’d be better off with a foil shaver like the Braun Series 9. I’m actually quite pleased with the prestige s9000 (round head version) with the sh98 heads, gives quite a smooth shave with zero irritation and completely pain free. The shaver will start charging immediately, signaled by flashing the corresponding battery level indicator.

This Braun Series 8 8390cc Electric Shaver is the 'Latest Generation' and sa Once there are approximately 9 minutes worth of shaving time left, the display will show an actual digit (starting from 9, then 8 and so on). You don't need the cleaning station model (Suffix cc) if you prefer to clean manually as there is a Series 9 model without this accessory. As an observation, I’ve never seen the middle (2-drop icon) mode, but maybe that’s a 2 or 3 day wait between cleanings.It works really well, the shave is supremely comfortable and even slightly closer, but I don’t think it’s really worth the trouble in the case of the Series 9. Regarding the replacement head notification, you are correct — the battery bars double as indicators of how much wear there is on the cassette.

In certain cases, like having a light beard, shaving more often and not having very sensitive skin, a Series 3 will likely be good enough. The shavers themselves have been mostly problem-free without any intrinsic flaws (like the head-locking mechanism of the original Series 7) — apart from edge cases that in all fairness affect shavers from all brands (like power buttons falling out). If you prefer a short beard, simply slide the integrated precision trimmer out of the back of the shaver.One thing is for sure, the selection of the program doesn’t have anything to do with how dirty the shaver is. First time after 4 months it would just turn off while wet shaving and not turn on again, only vibrate for a split second even with the cassette detached.

The PRO cleaning system has the THREE different cleaning programs, while the “non-pro” system only has ONE cleaning program. All Series 9 have this rather basic battery charge indicator with 5 bars that turn off progressively as you use the shaver.The state-of-the-art Li-ion battery in Series 9 shavers fully recharges in one hour, giving you 60 minutes of shaving time. And that’s a welcome bump in battery life since the 9385cc/9390cc will only work cordless, so you can’t shave with it while charging (if you try turning it on, a red plug symbol will flash on the display, reminding you to unplug the cord). Again thanks for your reviews, it helped narrow down what I really needed and am looking for in a shaver. In my experience, the Series 9 is more efficient at catching these flat hairs, but generally doesn’t cut the hairs quite as close to the skin as the Arc 5.
