I've been using the Braun electric shavers for more than 45 years. During the last 25 years, I always chosen to buy the top of the line shaver, at that time. The previous model I used was the Series 7, starting from its first submodel and ending with the last one before being discontinued. The Series 9 PRO+ is the best Braun shaver I had until now. It gives you a very close and smooth shave, without any irritation. The trimmer is not bad, but I find it difficult to activate/deactivate, and it's in an unusual position on the back of the shaver. The body of the shaver itself is different from the Series 7; it is much lighter, a bit thinner, and I feel it might fall out of my hand. I will probably get used to it in time. The blade is also a little more difficult to hold in your hand during cleaning. The noise level of the shaver is also slightly higher than that of the Series 7, but it's not bothersome. Overall, the shaver is of the highest technological level, a bit expensive, but if it serves me for a long time, then I can say that I made a good deal by buying it. Read more

I had been using an Arc5 for years but now WFH and not shaving every day, I had switched to a rotary, which did a much better job at the longer hairs that I had, shaving maybe 2 or 3 times a week at most. Bu5, with the rotary, I just wasn't getting a close enough shave, so I went back to the Arc5, but my wife kept noticing random hairs that it would miss and I'd have to go back over them later. Enter the new Braun 9 Pro+ with the new 96M head. It is fantastic. With the new head, its as close to the Arc5 as Braun has been and it does a much better job at picking up all the long hairs, so no more stray hairs that are noticed later, plus IMO it is more comfortable with less razor burn. As much as I liked the Arc5, the head was huge(one of the reasons I ignored the new Arc6) and was a bit difficult to work around my goatee. The Braun has a smaller head and is much easier to work around my goatee. One other shortcoming of the Arc5 was its cleaning base and its water based solution. No matter what I did, it would eventually develop an odor in the system(I've had the arc3 and 5) and the razor would not smell too good. The Braun base is quite good and uses an alcohol solution, which IMO does a much better job of leaving your razor clean and smelling good. I went with the model with the extra shaving head because A) I just don't see myself taking the time to use the massaging head first, before the shave and B) the new 96M head is impossible to find in the states right now, so having that extra head, just in case, is good piece of mind and will save money later. Overall, IMO Braun is finally catching up to the Panasonic Arc. There are tradeoff with each but with the new head and how close it is to the closeness of the Arc and getting what I consider a more comfortable shave, this is a keeper for me. Read more

This one was with the new 96 series head. I'm a daily shaver and it run a little warmer than my old 7 series. after a month on using it my shave a little closer than my old 7. Most definitely not worth the price. Drop down a model or two. Save money and just as good shave. I do like the auto cleaner as I had one with my old 7 and these do a good job. Read more

I picked up Afta pre-electric lotion with this and I'm here to say I just had the best shaving experience of my life and I'm 61. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with this razor. I've always complained that I would never get a close shave with an electric and so I never bought them again, but now since I'm crippled it solves every problem for me. I didn't have good expectations for an electric but here I am am saying 'close, comfortable shave' in several different languages. Way to go Braun! Read more

Quiet, gives a great shave, fairly expensive. Requires different cleaning solution containers from previous Braun shavers. Read more

After high hopes for a razor which could give a smooth shave while not irritating my skin, I’ve been left disappointed by this razor time and time again. This product particularly struggles on shaving the neck area. Despite trying shaving numerous different ways, this razor continues to leave stragglers on the neck while also giving skin irritation. Several times I’ve had to resort to using my old razor to finish cleaning up. Overall a very disappointing product for the premium price. Read more
