Braun shavers don’t particularly excel when it comes to closeness, but the Series 9 is one of their more capable models if that’s what you’re after.

However, it has a different part number (5430) and will only work with the 93xx models (it will still charge older Series 9 shavers like the 9290cc or 9090cc, but the cleaning function won’t work).When I first saw that the cc station has a different part number, I was convinced that this was taken care of. It looks to me that the Braun cleaning solution is the cause of this problem destroying the plastic. Regarding your question, that is correct, the Series 9 has a mechanism that lowers the first cutter (and the second but only slightly) when swiveling the head in the opposite direction. In fact, you only need the shaver to run a few seconds before it triggers a cleaning session when you drop it in the station, whether you actually shaved with it or not.

Again thanks for your reviews, it helped narrow down what I really needed and am looking for in a shaver.

In 2019, Braun’s high-end line of electric shavers, the Series 9, was given a second mid-life facelift.

The Braun Series 9 has 4+1 shaving elements (4 cutting), as one is just a skin guard that you’ll also find on the Series 8 models. Finally, there’s the range-topping Arc 5 (with models like the ES-LV65-S or ES-LV67) with 5 blades and excellent performance (closeness and comfort). If you leave the shaver in the cc station it will continue charging it up to 100%, then go into standby mode. And for the users contemplating getting a Series 9, it makes perfect sense to find out whether these newer shavers are worth the trouble. The 92S (left) and 92M (right) cassettes are the same except for the glossy and matte treatments respectively.Update: Since the Series 7 has been getting really difficult to find, a more budget-friendly alternative to the Series 9 is now the Braun Series 8.

The motor is more powerful than any of the other Braun Series, and the cassette has more shaving elements which would naturally bring up the cost of the shaver compared to any of the other Braun series.At least I have a particular area (in the neck of course) that needs pre shave, pre trim and/or quite a few strokes to be shaved evenly with the s9. The shaver adapts to the unique contours of your face, cutting even thick stubble while minimizing irritation and any chance of shaving rash. There was no irritation which was welcomed as I don’t like daily shaving because of irritation, and this shaver did not cause any. Again, they aren’t major and in my opinion you shouldn’t pay too much attention as the shaving performance is identical (they also use the same shaving heads).
