Amazon.com Product Description
Series 7, the "first of a new kind" - a new top of the line shaving system from Braun and a revolution in shaving technology. It has been uncompromisingly engineered to capture more hair with every stroke, even problem hairs, for Braun.s closest and most comfortable shave ever. Braun Series 7 motor sends over 10,000 micro-vibrations per minute through the shaver head to gently stimulate the skin, causing it to ripple, which helps capture and shave more hairs with every stroke. The hair is shaved with high-speed precision using leading edge Gillette Blade Technology. For added closeness and comfort, Braun Series 7 incorporates a Sensitive Flexing Head, which follows the contours of a man's face with twice the pivoting angle of other Braun shavers, and shaves hard-to-reach areas using touch sensitive foils that respond to the slightest change in skin surface. Additionally, Braun Series 7 is the world's first shaver brand with an ENERGY STAR-qualified battery charger, which recognizes the shaver's energy-efficient design and Braun's commitment to environmental sustainability. Braun Series 7 features the world's most intelligent Clean&Renew system that automatically cleans, lubricates, dries and charges the shaver at the touch of a button. It features a new Fast Clean mode (available only in 9595 model) that cleans the shaver in just 25 seconds, which is ideal for men on the go. For occasions when the Clean&Renew system is not available, the Series 7 shaver head can be washed under running water. The shaver also incorporates a modern, ergonomic design that combines an elegant silver and chrome finish with sleek lines.

 Sensitive Skin Review! March 9, 2010
TPayne
I did multiple hours worth of research before deciding on which razor to buy. Unfortunately I'm very fair skinned, and I have rarely been able to shave in the past with a razor (believe me I have tried every kind) and not get razor burn. I even went to the dermatologist and after trying different approaches, they informed me that I was just more or less out of luck. Then I stumbled across the 790.
The pros to this product in my opinion:
-Hardly any razor burn (rarely get and and it is usually a stubble or two)
-Built well and doesn't feel cheap.
-The Hygeine meter is a nice feature, plus the self cleaning is great.
The cons:
-The 790 seems to shave my cheeks perfectly and in no time. It really does feel like a blade went over it. However when it comes to my neck, it doesn't do as great of a job. I have tried different angles, stretching my skin, but sometimes it's like it can't quite get my neck as smoothe. It also leaves my skin red (but only for an 30 min-hour or so because of the pressure put against it from the razor trying to get all the hairs removed).
-The clean and renew cartridges are fairly expensive, but as a word of advice, you don't have to clean this thing after every shave! I clean it once every 2 shaves, which for me equals out to 3 times a week.
-Self cleaning can be kind of loud, so I recommend shutting the door or starting it while you are headed out of the house.
Overall, if you haven't had any luck with a regular razor blade, then I would recommend this product. This has been without a doubt the closet I have been to obtaining a good shave without any irritation.
 Shaves well, but leaks oil everywhere March 9, 2010
NHB fighter (Redmond, WA United States)
I have actually purchased two of these in the past two years, and here are my summary conclusions:
Pros:
Very close shave, the best of any electric to date
Cons:
The first unit had a nasty habit of turning my face blue after use...the center foil is blue, and it consistently bled onto my skin meaning I always had to use it pre-shower.
If you let your beard get longer, it will pull some of the hairs out rather than cut (painful). Lesson learned, make sure to shave with it every few days minimum.
The tradeoff for being close is that this is the first and only electric that ever cut me or left painful skin abrasions. It was a consistent problem shaving right under my nose, trying to get those highest whiskers - it either cut or abraded there.
Because of the above, I tossed it after 6 months and bought a panasonic, which started leaking oil everywhere. So, I bought another Bruan Pulsonic...except this second unit started leaking oil like a sieve after one month. I am not up for shaving and having lubricating oil all over my face, so I am tossing this one and won't be coming back to the Pulsonic.
Anyway, got a few nice shaves but overall felt it was a waste of money.

I purchased the Braun Series 7 for my boyfriend as a gift and he loves it. He had an old Braun shaver before I purchased this one and it was barely getting the job done and barely stayed charged long enough for one shave. He and I can both tell that the Series 7 gives him a much closer, cleaner, smoother shave. The self cleaning feature is also really nice. His only complaint, if we had to list one, is that he wished the compartment that holds the alcohol for the self cleaning was bigger so that he didn't have to replace it as often. Personally, I like that it's smaller because you're 'forced' to replace the dirty alcohol more frequently. Also, when I purchased it, it was over $200, but I still think it was totally worth it and I know my boyfriend is very happy with it.

The switch from rotary to foil shavers? Well worth it for me! March 8, 2010
J. Markgraf (Corvallis, OR USA)
I needed a new shaver and was really disappointed in my second Philips Norelco rotary model, so I decided to spend some money and try out this foil model. My problem with the Norelco was that it wasn't getting very close, and it pulled more hair that it cut even after a new set of blades. After getting the new unit, I plugged it in and did my usual shave. Usually new shavers are rough on my face for the first two weeks(I'm been using a mach 3 for a few months after getting fed up with my rotary), pulling hairs and giving me razor burn. After mentally preparing for the beat down I expected to my face, I started out and started the shaver up and went to town. I was surprised to find that shaving with this unit is much less painful than my old rotary models, and does a much better/closer job with much less pain. I skipped the aftershave and 3/4 of the way through the day my skin feels fine.
The pros I see:
Close shave, w/minimal burn
A very nice travel case included, which it didn't mention on the box.
The cons I see:
You need to replace the cleaning fluid every month. It's fairly cheap, but none the less you have to do it.
The included AC Adapter makes a very faint high pitch noise.
The cleaning cycle is fairly loud.
All in all probably the best shaving experience I've had. I would highly recommend this shaver. Considering that it is a tool that you will use every day, it is well worth the money in my opinion.
 lemon or lousy porduct? March 8, 2010
Walter Dorfman (Miami)
I thought that by purchasing the Braun 790cc shaver, I was taking a step up from my old Norelco. Ok. Forget the heavy vibration of the Braun motor. Forget the major effort to shave the side of my neck. Forget that shaved hairs fall out of the side of the razor head. Forget these things? I think not. Amazon does not accept returns of this type of product, so I guess it's the trash for this baby. It's not pretty enough for a paperweight. AND, to add insult to injury, Amazon dropped the price, so I actually overpaid for this. I feel better having written this but I would still have preferred my $200 back.Braun Series 7- 790cc Pulsonic Shaver
