Best Braun Electric Shavers in the UK

The Braun Series 9 9390cc is an efficient and comfortable electric shaver. Five elements of the shaving system, including two trimmers, provide accurate shaving in one movement, meaning it should only take one pass over any particular spot in order to get a close shave. This is a vast improvement over other models that may require multiple passes. At the same time, the SkinGuard skin protection technology will soften the skin for exceptional shaving without irritation, letting you perform a quick shaving session and leaving your skin smooth and soft afterwards.

Braun has included some impressive features in this electric shaver that help give it the best shaving performance. The innovative SyncroSonic™ technology allows the shaver to adapt to your bristles as precisely as possible. Its density is checked 160 times per minute, in accordance with which the power of the device is adjusted to obtain the best results. The charge time of this shaver is also impressive, needing only 1 hour for a full charge, allowing for up to 50 minutes of run time. With the impressive features of this shaver coupled with the large array of accessories included in the kit, any men who want peak shaving performance will find this model to be the best.

The Braun Series 7 (70-n1200s) Electric Shaver remains one of the more popular models due to a number of reasons. One is, it's a complete departure from all other iterations seen in Braun's line, and two, it's packed with a number of technologies, giving it the necessary boost to ensure a comfortable shaving experience on the densest hair without issues.

Speaking of the most important part of any shaver, this model employs a triple cutting system. What makes it superior compared to some other shavers is the actual arrangement of its 900 holes. To specify, these holes are arranged very close to each other across the shaver head, allowing it to get close to the skin and capture more hair per pass.

The MicroMotion technology adjusts the motion of each cutting element, enabling the shaver head to smoothly move around your face and precisely adapt to its contours. Thanks to that, even if you have rather prominent features, shaving with it will be comfortable. The Braun Series 7 also boasts Flex Tech which lets it pivot in all directions to ensure maximum skin contact. This feature separates the 70-n1200s from the old Series 7.

Finally, the other feature in favour of the Braun Series 7 (70-n1200s) is the AutoSensing. Fitted with sensors and an internal processor, the unit can automatically read and adapt to your stubble thickness, yielding the necessary torque.

All of these differences make this model a completely new product from the ground up and one of the more popular foil shavers on the market.

The Braun Series 3 ProSkin 3040s doesn't push any boundaries but instead delivers on just about every front, with ultimate precision and meticulous attention to detail.

The MicroComb technology allows the model to capture more hair with each stroke compared to its predecessors. The built-in pop-up precision trimmer is perfect for shaping facial hair. The precision head, with its slightly irregular form factor, lets you tackle hard-to-reach areas, like under the nose and neck area.

Of course, shavers are as much about their effectiveness and practicality as they are about comfort and safety. In the former regard, the model incorporates 3 independently floating shaving elements. Adapting to the contours of your face, they're able to provide a more comfortable shaving experience. On the safety front, it is mostly the pressure-sensitive blades that work wonders automatically retracting to protect your skin.

The last little detail that we really like about this model is the Quick charge. It takes the shaver about 5 minutes to charge up enough for one shaving session, so you will be able to give yourself a nice trim or a close shave even in the morning even if you haven't recharged the razor beforehand.

To bring this review to a logical conclusion, the Braun Series 3 ProSkin 3040s is as versatile and comfortable as it is safe and practical. The model is equally suitable for different shaving purposes, different skin, and completely different hair.

The Braun Series 5 50-B1200s is a bit more basic than its Series 7 and, needless to say, Series 9 competition. But, as far as most men are concerned, the model is just as good as the company's more expensive electric shavers. The instructions that come with the unit are lacking but you can always find them online and, truth be told, there's nothing especially difficult about this unit.

The 3 flexible heads that the model employs are excellent at adapting to the user's facial contours, so the shave is kept close and smooth. Likewise, the EasyClean system makes sure that you can clean the unit without removing the head, which means that you'll be wasting less time on maintenance. You'll also be wasting less time shaving as the upgraded ergonomic handle enables effortless one-way movement.

Despite lowering the price, the model comes with the same battery that you would find inside more expensive Braun electric shavers. Recharging within 60 minutes, the unit offers 50-minute continuous use. Also, there's always the 5-minute Quick Charge that covers one shave.

So, as long as you're not too fussy about every little hair on your face, the Braun Series 5 50-B1200s will serve you just as well as the more premium electric shavers from the same company.

Although the Braun Series 60-B1200s Electric Shaver isn't as expensive as more recent Braun's iterations, it gives just as close a shave as you'd expect from a high-quality piece. Besides, it works on all beards, no matter whether your hair is fine and soft or dense and tough, making it a smart choice for everyone.

The dermatologically tested blades on the 60-B1200s are perfect for shearing the facial hair on sensitive skin, so even if your skin is prone to itchiness or redness, you can safely use it. In the same vein, the model employs SensoFlex technology, which helps reduce pressure on the sensitive skin and ensures closeness of the shave by adapting the shaver head to your facial features.

Not dissimilar to most other Braun's foil shavers, the 60-B1200s uses SensoFoil blades. The advantage of these blades is that they have multiple tiny apertures spaced closely to each other. Not only does it help eliminate pulling the hair, but also it minimises the number of passes needed to achieve smooth results.

Regarding the kit, the shaver includes a precision trimmer which you can use to trim your moustache and sideburns, a travel case for neat transportation, and a SmartPlug. As a neat bonus, it also includes a cleaning unit so you can quickly remove the bulk of the captured hair without a need to be standing over a sink.

The only niggle some users have over this model is that the cassette removal seems to be quite an awkward job. That said, given that you won't need to be doing it too often, it's not a big deal.

In all, though the Braun Series 60-B1200s might lack some of the more sophisticated features of the Series 7 and 9, its performance is a dream, and it suits all hair types and skin.
