Braun Series 9 9390cc Rotary Shaver Trimmer Silver

Product Information

Panasonic makes great shavers that are better in other specific areas, but the movement of the head and of the individual cutters just doesn’t work so well.

The only downside is that the glossy finish may not go as well (from an aesthetic standpoint) with the rest of your shaver if it has a matte treatment. To differentiate them from the current, outgoing models, the new shavers start with 93 and include models like the 9385cc, 9390cc and 9370cc. The foils getting warm during use is common with electric shavers, including the Series 9, as long as it doesn’t get hot to the point of feeling discomfort. When I’m getting ready in the morning, my hands aren’t always dry, and the grippy coating on the shaver means I won’t risk dropping it on the counter. For those that want a more premium look for their money then Panasonic or Philips, with their all-metal builds, might be more to your liking.

If you use the station, the cleaning solution also lubricates the blades, so there’s no need for you to do it.

They feature Braun’s trademark honeycomb shape of the perforations, supposedly making them more efficient at catching the hairs.

If however you will be cleaning the shaver manually with soap, it’s recommended to apply some light machine oil (like clipper oil) as the soap will remove any form of lubrication. All Braun shavers from the Series 5 and up, including the Series 9 reviewed here, are fitted with a shaving head that can only swivel up and down.
