Series 7

This is my first electric shaver and I’m never going back to disposable blades. I was having skin irritation and redness with blades. This Braun has done wonders and has corrected my skin irritation. My co worker said get a Braun if you get one and don’t go cheap. Also recommended foil instead rotating blades. The battery charge last forever. It does get a really close shave if you use it multiple passes. I can’t even imagine if top of the line Braun’s could be much better than the series 7. Works great wet or dry and very easy to clean.

I recently bought the Braun Electric Razor for Men, Series 7 7085cc with 360 Flex Head and Beard Trimmer for my husband, and it has been an excellent investment. This electric shaver offers a perfect blend of advanced technology, exceptional performance, and user-friendly features, making it a top choice for any man looking to elevate his grooming routine. First and foremost, the 360 Flex Head is a standout feature. It effortlessly adapts to the contours of my husband's face, ensuring a close and comfortable shave every time. The flexibility of the head allows it to navigate tricky areas like the jawline and neck with ease, reducing the need for multiple passes and minimizing skin irritation. This has significantly improved his shaving experience, leaving his skin smooth and free from nicks and cuts. The shaving performance of the Braun Series 7 7085cc is outstanding. The powerful motor delivers consistent and efficient shaving, even on thicker beards. The razor cuts through hair smoothly and quickly, providing a close shave that rivals traditional blade razors. My husband has noticed a significant reduction in shaving time, which is a huge plus for his busy mornings. One of the standout features of this electric razor is the built-in beard trimmer. The trimmer attachment is easy to use and perfect for maintaining sideburns, trimming beards, and detailing facial hair. It provides precise control and versatility, allowing my husband to achieve his desired look without needing a separate trimmer. This all-in-one functionality is incredibly convenient and space-saving. The cleaning and maintenance of the Braun Series 7 7085cc are hassle-free. The Clean & Charge station automatically cleans, lubricates, and charges the razor, ensuring it is always ready for use. The station uses a cleaning solution that leaves the razor feeling fresh and hygienic after each use. This self-cleaning feature saves time and effort, making it a valuable addition to the grooming routine. Battery life is another strong point of this electric razor. The lithium-ion battery provides long-lasting power, allowing for several shaves on a single charge. The quick charge feature is also handy, providing enough power for a single shave with just a few minutes of charging. This reliability ensures that the razor is always ready when needed. The design of the Braun Series 7 7085cc is sleek and ergonomic. It fits comfortably in the hand, and the rubberized grip provides a secure hold, even when wet. The razor is also waterproof, making it suitable for use in the shower and easy to clean under running water. In summary, the Braun Electric Razor for Men, Series 7 7085cc with 360 Flex Head and Beard Trimmer is an exceptional grooming tool. Its outstanding performance, versatility, and convenience make it a top choice for any man looking for a high-quality electric shaver. I highly recommend this razor to anyone seeking a reliable and efficient shaving solution. My husband is extremely satisfied with this purchase, and it has become an essential part of his daily grooming routine.

I’d give this product 5 stars if it wasn’t for the horrible, almost incomprehensible user manual (actually a single sheet of diagrams) which forces the user to figure out the use and operation of the shaver through sheer trial and error. I’ve had an older model self-cleaning Braun shaver for years so I had some experience and figuring out the nuances of this one didn’t take long but good luck with the printed directions. I tried to find the "user manual" online at Braun's website but it was merely more of the same. I’m surprised that a terrificGerman company like Braun would be so inept at providing information to its customers particularly given the price of their products. Otherwise, it’s a great shaver with multi-use attachments which are easily switched out for trimming, from very close, clean shave, a stubble attachment for that look, a trimmer attachment with 7 length varieties and of course the attractive cleaner/charger base. The battery length is superb, even if you shave every day and the self-cleaning option works perfectly. The shaver is very ergonomically comfortable and even looks good sitting on the countertop inserted in the base. It also comes with a very nice travel case with room for needed attachments. In short, great razor/trimmer, a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Only negative—lack of a decent user manual.

I upgraded from an older series 7 Braun shaver to the 7085 shaver. The shave is much improved and love that the foil stays on the face during the entire shave. It moves over the chin, neck and face with ease and stays flush. This provides a nice close shave without any nicks. The attachments are nice and several were included which are great for sideburn trimming, beard trimming and stubble trimming. Its a little bit of an effort to remove the foil and snap on the other attachments and I miss the pop up trimmer on my old shaver but they all perform well. The cleaning system is a little different and in order to charge the shaver while in the smart care unit, you have to also clean it. The old system didn't require this. Not a big deal as the shaver will last a long time between charges so you can just let it sit in the smart care system and just clean when you need to and get a charge. Now the bad part which is the instructions. There are pictures without much explanations so you have to try decipher what it means. I did figure it out as there is an info button on the shaver and when you press this it runs through the battery status, foil status and cleaning status. I did a chat with with customer service and high bars on each of these are good (full charge, good foil, and clean unit) whereas a low bar/no bar means its time for a charge, the foil needs to be changed and/or the shaver needs to be cleaned. It is a wet/dry shaver so you can shave with soap/water if you want and you can also just clean the shaver/foil under soap and water if you want. So this is a nice feature and can reduce how often you run it through the smart care cleaner. So all in all I am happy with it and the shaver is a nice upgrade.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Top-Tier Shaving Experience – Braun Series 7 Wins Again This is hands-down the best shaver I’ve owned. The Braun Series 7 has completely transformed my morning routine. It’s incredibly smooth and efficient—the 360° Flex Head adapts perfectly to my face, making shaving comfortable even around the jawline and neck. The battery life is amazing, easily lasting several shaves before needing a recharge. I also love the SmartCare Center—just pop the shaver in and it automatically cleans, charges, and lubricates. Feels like new every time! It also comes with great extras, like the precision trimmer attachment and a sturdy travel case, which makes it easy to take on the go. If you’re on the fence, just go for it. It’s worth every penny.

So, I had high expectations for this device. I remember watching Braun commercials as a kid in the '80s and they presented themselves as something like the BMW of shaving devices , and appeared to have earned the right to make that claim. German engineering has historically meant tight tolerances, form following function, and endurance. So at 47 I decided I was going to plunk down nearly $200 on a device that appeared tailor made to my needs and was expecting a device with some heft and the aforementioned characteristics. The module that you hold in your hand with the on/off controls, motor, driver and battery has a nice slightly tacky rubber skin and nestles right in your hand, but once I started swapping out the shaving head, beard trimming head, buzzy chop your beard down to size head, I started to have some doubts. The receiver for these attachments and the top of the handheld module was made entirely of plastic with a couple plastic spindles that extended out of the top of the device and mated with the cutting attachment. The buzzy beard chopper worked Ok, and it was basically a couple of buzzing blades wrapped in some plastic protective shields, so they clearly weren't intended for precision shaving, but they knocked down my beard pretty well and made it shave ready, but when I added the beard trimming attachment that's when the problems started. Apart from the trimming blade itself the rest of the attachment was again made of plastic, and the clipper grabbed my beard four of five times within the first minute or two of it's first use, and gave me a good pinch on one of them, and at that moment I was glad I had held onto my Wahl peanut because the clipper on the Braun was not going to get the job done. When I finally got the beard chopped down close enough to use the foil shaving head I noted it was also mostly made of plastic, apart from the foil itself and the cutting blades, and much to my dismay the foil cutting head also tugged at my beard, also in a relatively painful fashion, so after testing all three cutting heads on the first test drive I reluctantly decided this device just wasn't going to get the job done. Given the articulating head I tried to give it a chance by exploring various angles of attack, but there was no angle that I could find that ended the grabbing and plucking problem, and by the time I had finished taking it for a test drive on just one side of my face it seemed crystal clear there were two factors creating a kind of synergistic failure. #1 was the quality of my beard, unlike the brown hair I am still lucky to have blanketing my entire head, the hair in my beard is almost entirely gray and anyone with gray hair in their beard knows they are almost as durable as the fibres in a brillo pad. The second factor was the sloppy engineering tolerances in the foil shaving attachment. In spite of the fact the foil shaving head has two foils each with its own cutting head, separated by a slight gap, the dual foil setup was incapable of delivering a clean shave even after moving it back and forth several times like a lawnmower moving back and forth along the same cutting path, but regardless of how many times I did this it just couldn't deliver a close shave. By contrast, my little $25-30 Panasonic wet drive battery powered shaver with only a single foil made quick work of cleaning up after the Braun. The foil on the Panasonic is also a complete hemispherical arc, whereas the foils on the Braun were formed in a kind of lazy arc something like if you tried to putt a golf ball at a hole ten feet away and the ball drifted maybe 4-6 inches to the right at the center of it's path of travel and then slowly drift left again and arrive at the hole in a straight line with the position of the ball when it was first struck, the takeaway from this being the foil only seemed to achieve flush contact with the skin at the apex of this arc, as such limiting the effective cutting surface of the foil to a narrow band down the middle representing 5-10% of the total surface area. I might not have the math here precise to six-sigma standards, and probably should have waited to seal the return box for the device until I finished this review, but I am hardwired for binary thinking the MBTI refers to as The Mechanic", and I held my face very close to a large mirror as I moved the razor back and forth as slowly as I could, as perfectly straight as I could, then switched to moving over a path like an ellipse so it would hit the hairs from every angle, then rotated it slowly like a Roomba confused about which direction to head in next, and even after all that, and 20 or 30 hairs that felt like they had been plucked by the coils of an Epilady, the left side of my face still looked like I tried to shave in the dark with a set of dull clippers with a cutting guard that appeared to rise and fall like the horses on a carousel because the hairs on his face ranged from long to short and then sloped backup to long again, or like a lawnmower than ran on shocks that would rise and fall like the pole running vertically through the aforementioned carousel horses. I am probably rambling now, but the first thing that comes to mind every time I reflect on my disappointment at it''s performance is the cutting heads that were each made almost entirely of plastic, and not the kind of polymers Glock uses to make every part of their high performance handguns except the barrel, but the kind of plastics those cheapo companies used to make the squirt guns you played with as a kid that came out of the bag with cracks in the seams that would leak water so fast you might get off 4 or 5 trigger pulls before the gun ran dry. If I haven't made it clear enough every one of the cutting head seems poorly constructed and flimsy, and even at 6'2" and 250# I can stomp on a lego and not damage it in the slightest, but I could probably stomp on all these attachments and the same time and they when I lifted my foot it would likely look like I stomped on some plastic oyster crackers. OaO.

Best shaver i have used. Heavy duty and well-made. I would buy again

Solidly built, full of features. But..my old beard goes in all directions and the foils slots go in one. Not really as quick as a rotary in comparison. Noisier then most I've owned. Cleans itself well but noisy while doing it. A great value for younger folks with hair that behaves and goes in a grain. Old guys.....look to a rotary.
