WOW [Posted on 2008-07-09]
Best electric shaver ever. Does as promised. The cleaning system is very nice. I do feel that it uses a little too much fluid each clean, but that is fine. The fluid leaves a nice lemon-scented 'oil' feel to the shaver that helps next time.
Again.. WOW... best shaver ever! Closer than straight razor
The best switch ever [Posted on 2008-07-09]
I switched from a Gillet fusion, and at first I was not sure about this investment, but since I learned that the trick about a dry shave is to put the after shave after you shower and before you shave I am having a blast...
Used to regular blades? Thick shave? No problem! [Posted on 2008-07-09]
I've owned this product for almost a year, and before that I used another Braun with my brother (the alcohol cleaning let me not worry about sharing).
Before coming into the electric razors, I used to use typical straight blades. I had noticed that after a week, maybe a little more, the blade was useless. In addition, my skin is sensitive and I had a tendency to get a lot of ingrown hairs. The way I'd get the closest shave is to shave against the grain which needless to say, caused more ingrain hairs than I wanted. I became an expert with tweezers as a man to get rid of these, and I really felt there must be a better way.
The first electric I used was about a year and a half ago, and since my brother moved he took it with him and I replaced it with the Pulsonic. And regardless of whether it be the Pulsonic, or the older Braun Syncro (using the same cleaning system as the Pulsonic), I found a world of change in shaving.
My hair is thick and grows back reasonably fast. I shave every other day still, because I can get away with it. But coming from a regular razor, it took me about two weeks to get used to the electric. I forced myself to do it initially -- I was tired of paying for the replacement blades for my Mach3. It was getting pretty expensive. However with the Bed Bath and Beyond 20% coupons, I got the refills for the shaver pretty cheap -- and they lasted quite a while as well.
I have never enjoyed shaving, and even with the electric I don't. It takes a little more effort to get the hair that grows on your neck, since they grow in awkward directions (at least for me). I have to make several passes before I get them all. Additionally, I use my hand to make sure that the surface I've used the razor on is smooth, because often the razor can miss some hairs, and you need to go back over it. But despite those minor inconveniences, I am ecstatic about shaving with this over a regular blade. The only way I get a shave as close as the electric, is if I go against the grain with a regular blade. Yes folks -- shaving with the electric gives me as close a shave as a normal razor.
I don't suffer any longer from red spots on my face, no more cuts, no more ingrown hairs. I wash my face after I shave with a gentle wash, and moisturize with a light moisturizer. My skin feels great. My family tells me it is soft to the touch. And this coming from a guy who was known to have a brillo pad for a face most of the time.
I'm very happy with the purchase. Over the Braun Syncro (older model), I'd say the Pulsonic is better but not amazingly better. It does a better job, gets less hot, and I like that I can plug it in directly as well if I need to. The cartridges are cheap on Amazon (get the 3 packs!), and if you want to make them last a little longer -- clean the blade and shaver under some hot water and tap it out on your sink. It will work for two shaves without a problem. I took it on vacation for a week and just rinsed it -- it worked fine throughout, though the "Hygiene" indicator dipped low. Came back home, threw it into the base and it went through an exhaustive cleaning process -- and it was smelling fresh and new. I'm very, very pleased with it.
And for those trying to make the switch from conventional blades and don't like them -- do it! This is a product worth buying.

This is the best razor I have ever owned. You will not regret this purchase.
Life changing [Posted on 2008-07-12]
This is one of the best purchases of the year. My brother bought one and convinced me to give it a try too. I was a little skeptical at first, I've grown up with the norelco system (three round blades) and always felt that the bar shaped shavers were somehow inferior. Boy was I wrong. With the norelco (even with new blades) I always had to shave with the grain first and THEN, with gritted teeth, go against the grain. I STILL got reasonably bad razor burn and always felt I must have sensitive skin.
Now, with the braun, I go directly against the grain, right off the bat, and have had NO RAZOR BURN at all for the last couple of weeks. It's unbelievable, dramatic improvement.
I would say the only downside is that you have to buy refills for the auto-cleaner. A three pack is $[...] on amazon.com which should last minimum three months so for this level of comfort, I would say $[...] a month is worth it.
