Braun 1775 washable Razor - Julia Amanti, Jun 05, 2008

This was a Father's Day present, and my father has given rave reviews on this shaver. It was a quick, great, transaction. I would recommend website and product to everyone I know.
Thanks.

Not good if you are a manual bladed razor guy - E. Andre Dessens, Jun 04, 2008

I have heard good reviews especially from a friend who recommended it in the first place.

What I noticed is that this guy has always used electric razors in the first place. He is already used to this kind of products.

I have always used traditional 2, 3 and 5 bladed razors, and wet shaving in general. Going to dry shaving with an electric razor (or at least this one), is definitely a downgrade.

I just did multiple passes (5+, I lost count), and my beard was still there albeit just a little bit shorter.

I have to mention though, I didn't wait the recommended 14 days of trial for my skin "to get used to". After the initial result I was utterly disappointed and changed to the Gillette Fusion Power 5 bladed razor.

Good but misses a few individual whiskers - Mr. R. VELA, Jun 03, 2008

The braun does a good job and feels almost as good as shaving with a razor but not quite however it will miss and keeps missing very few (maybe a total of 3 or 4 on your entire face) wiskers that you eventually have to either use a razor to remove. No matter how many time you go over that area. I guess this braun will not remove any that get slightly too long. Overall a very good shaver.

Disappointing. Repeated passes required for close shave - J. Doe, Jun 02, 2008

I'm surprised at all the positive reviews here. I bought this razor mainly based on the reviews, and I must say that I'm disappointed. My previous electric razor was a low-end Remington that I bought from a discount retailer. But the Remington shaver actually worked much better, and I shouldn't have thrown it away when the foil broke.

The problem with this Braun shaver is that you have to keep shaving the same spot -- over and over and over again -- in order to get a close shave. If you do a quick, two-minute shave (which actually worked pretty well with my Remington), you'll end up with about as much beard as you had before the shave.

I don't recommend this shaver.

Not great - dvukin, Jun 01, 2008

Have mostly used rotary shavers in the past; bought this one based on price and brand name. Product quality is fine but performance is not a match for the rotary shaver. This shaver is for occasional only use, and its performance is not bad enough to warrant the hassle of returning it to the manufacturer, under their 30 day money-back program. Would not recommend it.
