The instructions showed taking the foils off and putting some oil on them and then showed a small brush and using that to clean the inside before replacing the foils. As mentioned previously, the shaving head of the Series 8 looks extremely similar to the ones of Braun’s other 3-blade models, the Series 5 and 7. The older S8 station (no drying fan) has this ledge on the top part and the shaver sits in it on a slant (you can also refer to the image above with the 8370cc during the cleaning process).

This electric razor has a 40° swivelling head that adapts to the facial contours - ensuring a close shave even in tricky areas. It’s just a rebranding of the series, the performance is the same and they use the same shaving head.BNPL is an interest bearing option that allows you to delay payments on your purchases for up to 12 months depending on how much you spend. The only problem with it that I can honestly share with u is that the series 5 and 7 have a faulty head lock button that beaks too often In my experience. For other users that don’t have to deal with these issues, the differences may be minor, which is why some even prefer the Series 8 over the 7. And this is something other readers have pointed out as well, so it’s definitely not a case of a faulty shaver.

I was thinking of upgrading from my Series 5, which I’ve used for a number of years, to the Series 7, but then saw the Series 8 (the Series 9 is way to expensive). In conclusion, the Series 8 is a good and capable electric razor that will be suitable in most situations.

I personally won’t miss it too much, however other users may find it useful when cleaning the shaver manually. So even if I don’t use it all the time I use it to get shaver cleaned and oil to keep it sharp so blades last a bit longer. I own an ancient 720 that I absolutely love, and an S9 that is comfy but still prefer the nimble head of the old 720. For example, the 8370cc (8390cc) and 8391cc are identical, except that the latter comes with a hard leather travel case instead of the common textile variation shipped with the 8370cc and 8390cc.
