Fresh-out-of-the-carton shave was just plain fantastic. I never expected a shave this good from an electric razor. Haven't yet tried its cleaning station, having been on the road. This is the best shaver I've ever used, from early Shick, later Remingtons, Norelcos & even Braun's, though they [Braun] were the best up to this point. Received as a Christmas present, I was going to "make myself like it" if it didn't fully measure up.
Can't speak to it's longevity, yet - but I sure am happy on the honeymoon. No worries. Really, REALLY close - without taking any particular pains. Put me down as "amazed" and exceedingly pleased. Subsequently, I have been using Williams "Lectric Shave" with it, hoping to extend the life of the shaver head, but it shaves fine either way.
Gives a realively close shave for an electric razor. The only other shave I like that is closer is a safety razor shave.
I have top go over the same stretch of skin several times in different directions, never had this problem with cheaper Norelcos. The instructions say to give it three weeks to get your skin to get used to it. My wife bought it for me as a birthday gift, so it sat there for a week before I used the shaver. The thing simply does not shave. The result. As a result, the month return period was up, and now I am stuck with this horrible thing. Constant skin irritation.To add insult to the injury, Amazon is refusing to take it back.
This item is the series 5 590cc not the 8995. Not very happy that they didn't fix my problem, twice in a row. The 8995 is a completely different than the 590cc. 590cc is a smaller shaver.
Do yourself a favor and get it. I have been a Braun man for over 35 year's. The 8995 is the best electric razor I have ever used. Brent If you have never tried one.
