Braun Series 7 Shaver 720s

There isn’t a man on the planet who wouldn’t want a Braun Series 7 shaver for Valentine’s Day. As usual, everything I give my husband to test suffers from ‘overkill’ his favourite words are ‘if a job’s worth doing, do it right’.  I can guarantee this shaver has been well and truly tested down to the very last detail.

I have tried to sum up the main differences from other Braun shavers – the other being not ‘bad’ but this razor being greatly superior!

Setting this shaver aside from the crowd is its unique 3 shaving modes. The Braun Series 7 shaver can be set at normal mode,  sensitive and intensive Modes which can be used at your will depending on which mode suit the parts of your face you are shaving, eg, neck, beard etc. This adjustable shave also goes a long way toward reducing irritation. If you find a particular area of your face is prone to sensitivity, simply switch to the sensitive mode – easy!

I loved the noise of this shaver. It is no more noisy than other shavers but it is certainly easier to listen to. This would be the sonic technology, giving 10,000 micro-vibrations – which is incredible. This feature results in the skin being smoothed just before it is to be shaved. Your skin will have less irritation and my husband certainly proved this to be correct. His skin would have a few lumps and bumps yet no cuts or irritation with the Braun Series 7. He is very pleased!

My husband also said this razor gave a ‘wet shave’ when shaving dry. The closeness of the shave could only have been achieved on other razors while using in water so that’s a big achievement. This makes shaving faster as you can literally shave on the go and have excellent results. He also noticed that while being able to shave without the hassel of using water, the Braun Series 7 also gave a close shave with less strokes as more hairs are caught during each action – another major time saving feature. The technology of this feature is quite mind blowing – Optofoil, exclusive to Braun, captures both short and longer hairs all in the same stroke.

‘The OptiFoil is the most advanced foil from Braun. The unique geometry with ergonomically sized holes captures more hair and cuts them deeper than ever before. The specially designed hexagonal holes are of varying sizes. Small holes give optimal shaving results at a 90° angle while larger holes capture more hair and cut deeper at different angles. The result is Braun’s closest shave ever’ (Braun)

The Braun Series 7 also has a trimmer for longer hair and beards which hubby could find no fault with. This was accurate and easy to use.

The shaver, being wet and dry, can be rinsed under a tap after use which makes cleaning the shaving head quick and easy as well.

Last, but not least, this shaver uses recharagable batteries and charging take only one hour – not like my iPhone! The low battery indicator light will let you know when to charge and you will get at least 50 minutes of cordless shaving from this charge. If you forget to charge or have not the time, a quick charge of about 5 minutes will be enough to completely shave your face.

I hope I have impressed you with the ability of the Braun Series 7. It was one of the most iconic and worthwhile items my husband has tested and he had absolutely no complaints.
