new but not improved4
I had been using the top of the line Braun model of about 5 years ago and decided to upgrade to this model. I can tell no difference in the closeness of the shave between the two despite the hype and whoopla about the 360 degree technology cutting head. One drawback of the 360 technology is that the cutters cannot be cleaned with the brush and therefore you have to use the supplied cleaning device with the circulating liquid more frequently. This will increase the operating cost of the shaver. Also, the cutting head refills are about twice the price of the previous model ones.

This is not to say that the shaver is not to be purchased, just wait until your older model quits.

I get the impression that companines have people search reviews on websites and vote against the ones that say their product is so so or even bad. And even worse, write favorable reviews. You can spot these by their style being like an advertising brochure.

An Extremely Good Electric Razor5
Discussions of shaving preferences sometimes seem like religious warfare, mostly because every face is at least somewhat different from any other face. That means there’s really no such thing as a perfect razor.

However, for me, this Braun 8995 is very close to perfect. For many years, I’ve shaved with a blade– most recently the Gillette Fusion system– and I’ve used a cheap Remington when I travel. Two things happened: The price of the Gillette blades has increased sharply with each new model, and my Remington died. I decided to go with this top-of-the-line Braun.

After using it for a couple of months, I’m very pleased. It is clearly a well-engineered machine that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I’ve found that my shaves with it are just as close as the shaves I got with the Gillette Fusion. I suspect that as the years go on, the total cost of shaving with the Braun will actually be less than the Fusion would total.

A couple of hints:

First, don’t wash your face before you shave with any electric shaver. Washing causes the beard hairs to swell up, and they don’t fit well into the tiny slots in the electric razor’s head. The razor won’t be able to shave you very close when that happens.

Second, the instructions with the Braun say to run the automatic cleaning cycle every day. I can’t detect any performance difference between doing that and cleaning it a couple of times per week. In addition, the cleaning cartridge will obviously last a lot longer with less frequent cleanings.

I’m very happy with this razor. It isn’t cheap, but it works very well. I’m glad I bought it, and I’d do it again.

Product Description

It’s hard to believe that technology and engineering can improve on the current state of shaving but Braun has managed to revolutionize shaving for speed, comfort, and closeness. Braun Pulsonic 9595 makes the daily chore of shaving so excitedly attractive that you’d want to use it several times a day – just for the feeling it gives. The Sonic Action motor generates 10,000 microvibrations per minute which helps skin and underlying muscle tissues relax while stimulating cellular flow. The result is a more youthful appearance and healthier skin. It also feels great!

With 360-degree coverage, shaving is more ergonomic and faster than you can imagine. It’s like shaving at the speed of sound! Here are some other key features: Clean&Renew System automatically cleans, lubricates, dries and charges the shaver at the touch of a button, giving the feel of a brand new shaver everyday without the hassle of cleaning the appliance manually Interactive LCD screen Li-ion rechargeable battery for long lasting power per full charge 5-minute QuickCharge mode when you’re on the go Dual Volt capable for international use Attractive Finish

Customer Reviews

After a full month I’m very impressed5
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 shave.5
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 Braun5
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!
