r/shaving · Clean shaven men, do you prefer Braun or Philips? I highly doubt that was the issue. Both of the Braun razors filled up with so much water you could shake them and hear it sloshing around inside. A razor you're supposed to use with a wet face and Shaving cream should be built to exist in the bathroom. If it can't, then that is a major red flag. Avoid.
r/shaving · Clean shaven men, do you prefer Braun or Philips? I've had the Braun series 5, and the series 8. Both died within 6 months due to water ingress. My Phillips S9000 prestige just died tonight, same issue. These are IP67 rated shavers. I do not use them under water. I'm guessing rinsing the blades was enough to let the water in. They're also extremely cheaply made, as I have disassembled them post-mortem to diagnose and repair them. Please do yourself a favour and avoid anything designed or built in or near Germany. They're poorly made and overpriced. This is a lesson I have unfortunately learned the hard way.

r/shaving · Is it worth buying an electric razor? Braun Series 8, then switched to Series 9 here. Have not ever had a nick in years of usage. Whereas with DE safety razors, multiple nicks per shave no matter the technique across a bunch of different blade brands over a few years of usage. In my case the difference in shave closeness was a few hours of beard growth so I'm much happier now.

r/shaving · Braun Series 9 Sport+ Tips 8 Series here, I lock the head briefly when I want to get right up by my nostrils, and occasionally for a few swipes around the jawbone. Basically a couple areas of my face where the pivoting from an unlocked head leaves areas a little high. Otherwise it's unlocked.
r/shaving · Braun vs norelco electric razor question. I used low end $35 Norelcos for 7 years. Switched to Braun 8 series a few years ago. The Braun 8 is better, get the job done faster, feels nicer. But honestly the difference isn't that much compared to the worst Norelco. Comparing it to a better Norelco it's probably down to individual preference. For me the cost difference doesn't matter anymore, can buy whatever, just didn't see any need to go above the 8 series. The cleaning station is nice to have for keeping the thing lubricated and charged.

r/BuyItForLife · Best electric shaver for men (foil vs rotary, sensitive skin, wet/dry), what do you actually use? I have a Braun Series 8 and it does a fantastic job solving the ingrown problem I was having with real razors Bad news: it's a shitty annoying experience. It cuts like 80% of the hairs in the first pass. The last 20% of hairs will take you 8 more passes to get most of them. That last few will need a dozen more passes and special attention to each stubborn hair. Easily easily 3x the amount of time and effort as shaving with a razor and my sideburns always look shitty. Is there a razor that specifically doesn't cut all that close? I need to avoid ingrowns but this electric shaver sucks

r/BuyItForLife · Best electric shaver for men (foil vs rotary, sensitive skin, wet/dry), what do you actually use? I recently picked up a Braun Series 8 and at first I noticed a similar experience to yours. I later found that it cuts much closer and smoother after oiling it. I don’t have to oil my ARC 5 nearly as often to get a similar shave. I prefer the ARC 5 but since you already own the Braun it can’t hurt to try more oil?

r/shaving · Anybody Ready to Spend $600 USD on Braun's Nevo? I am satisfied with my series 8 have not had any real difficulties i’ve noticed that my power button is getting loose. But it is working just fine. I cant really justify shelling out 600.00 bucks for the latest and the greatest new shaver. Does it do something that my 8 doesn’t? So far i have not seen any evidence that would justify this expensive nee gadget. I would welcome anyone who could provide a good reason that would warrant this upgrade. My shave is close enough- could it be closer could be but who’s gonna notice? I am reaching the age where i prefer to have money in the bank over the latest and greatest or the new and improved. So far i’m good with my 8. Unless those who have purchased it can tell me that it will do something my 8 doesn’t- i’m good for now

r/shaving · How long has your Braun shaver lasted? I have a Series 8, purchased in October 2024, soon to go in the garbage as the power switch is failing. My previous Series 7 also failed early. Braun used to build an excellent product but in my experience the quality and value are no longer there. I can’t afford to fork out $300 every year and a half for what essentially is a disposable good.

r/shaving · Anyone found an electric razor that’s actually close to a blade? I don't think there's an electric shaver that gets as close as a blade, there's a thin piece of metal between the blades and your skin. With that said, my last 4 shavers have been Braun. The latest, Series 8, replaced a Series 7 that was nearly 20 years old. I'm quite happy with the new Series 8 and I can't see the very expensive Series 9 being that much better.
r/shaving · Best foil shaver I recently replaced my very old Braun series 7 with the new series 8 mainly because I couldn’t wrap my head around the crazy price of a series 9. About a month in and I’ve been very happy. Off hand I want to say about $230.
r/shaving · What's the best electric shaver for men? Is a premium model worth it in 2026? I just replaced a nearly 20 year old Braun series 7 with the new series 8 and I’m very pleased with it. I haven’t used the new series 9 but given the price tag, I can’t see it being that much better.

r/shaving · [HELP] My Braun only works if I plug in the charger and then unplug it. Otherwise it won't turn on. 8 series Have the same problem. New Braun series 8 will not turn on even if fully charged until I plug in the charger. This occurs randomly. I did not take charger for 2 day trip as I had 100% charge and the damn thing would not turn on! Grrr...

r/shaving · How long has your Braun shaver lasted? I’ve had my Braun Series 8 that was purchased at Costco. At three years, the power button fell off. This was my first Braun shaver, and I was happy with the closeness of the shave. However, the durability stinks, which is my I’m going back to Panasonic. I used Panasonic shavers for many years and they never failed me. So much for German craftsmanship.

r/shaving · I am amazed by how awful the Braun Series 9 Pro is Chiming in my .02 because, why the hell not. I’m italian and as such, grow facial hair quickly and the individual strands are thick. Even the grey ones are still thick. I sometimes go several days without shaving to get that cool look. Everyones face is different. I used to be a proponent of shaving with a good razor (every day when I was in the army). For me, the more I shaved the quicker it grew in. I could shave at 6am and by noon have stubble. So again; everyone is different. For myself, I transferred over to the Braun 8 several years ago. In my personal experience, if you are not shaving every day or a few times a day; the growth will be harder to get in one pass. Which brings me to,,,,, how sparse are your all faces that you think you can get it smooth in one pass? I personally, when I know I need (or want) a smooth shave without using a razor. I just plop my ass on the toilet, read the news while shaving. It ain’t rocket science. If you have tough follicles, it will take you longer. Bottom line, find one that works for you that does not cut your face up. As for the foil brand debate; this is one where I personally opt for OEM direct from their site. The body of the shaver can be made of magical fairy dust and vibratium; but if the foil head is bad quality, then it will suck. Anyways, that is my grumpy .02 cents opinion that one would find in an old cracker jacks box.

r/shaving · [HELP] My Braun only works if I plug in the charger and then unplug it. Otherwise it won't turn on. 8 series I found out that the razor can still get wet on the inside even though it's advertised wet or dry. Let it dry out completely. I quit rinsing mine with water. A reset could help. Hold the power button down for 10 seconds.

r/SkincareAddiction · [Hair Removal] How to shave (with an electric) without getting razor burn and ingrown hairs on your neck? I used to get razor burn on the daily when I used cheap electric razors. It looked like squirrels were attacking my neck, lol. There were a few things I change that I think contributed to razor burn being a part of the past. One, I upgraded to the Braun s8 electric razor with the pivoting head and sonic vibration, two, I stopped pressing so hard on the neck, and three, I started shaving every other day (shaving every two days) so the hair can grow and the razor could catch the hair better. This is the razor I’m talking about, saved my life and my ravaged neck, lol. Good luck man

r/BuyItForLife · Have any guys succeeded with an electric shaver for coarse, rough, short hair beards? Braun Series 8 Wet & Dry user here, does a great job on my standard (I guess?) stubble. I don't use any gels or oils, just wash face first to soften hair. To clean, I just tap out shavings once every days or two + wash the foil assembly in warm/ tap hot soapy water once a week or so. I only replace foil occasionally.

r/shaving · Frustrated with Arc 5 foil shaver Just to chime in here as somebody who just bought an arc5 , and a braum series 8 This stuff is junk. It doesn’t cut your hair. The only way to shave is with blades, and I’m going to continue using manual razors until they actually invent something useful.

r/BuyItForLife · Best electric shaver for men (foil vs rotary, sensitive skin, wet/dry), what do you actually use? My Braun Series 8 seems to do nothing BUT cause ingrown hairs, and that's in addition to the 5-10 passes it takes on most of my face. I'm about to throw it out and go with a rotary. I will try oiling it as mentioned below before I finally throw in the towel.

r/shaving · How long has your Braun shaver lasted? My dad bought me a Braun shaver when I was around 16 or so and have used Braun ever since except once when I cheaped out and bought a Panasonic. I consistently get around 10 years from by Braun's and I think I got 2-3 years from my Panasonic. Ditto with Braun Oral-B electric toothbrush which last awhile and bought another brand that lasted maybe 1/4 of the time my Braun did Long story short while Braun might be more expensive they are cheaper because of how long they last. I bought my series 8 Braun shaver mid 2020 and its still going strong

Questions fréquentes
Le Braun Series 8 convient-il aux peaux sensibles ?
Les retours Reddit comprennent des expériences de rasage sans irritation, y compris sur une peau décrite comme extrêmement sensible. Les témoignages sur les poils incarnés se contredisent toutefois : un utilisateur constate une amélioration, un autre en rapporte davantage. L’amélioration des irritations du cou relatée dans un autre témoignage accompagne aussi une pression réduite et un changement de fréquence de rasage.
Le Braun Series 8 rase-t-il vraiment de près ?
Des utilisateurs Reddit jugent le rasage net ou suffisamment proche, et l’un constate une amélioration après lubrification. D’autres signalent des zones manquées et des passages répétés, notamment près des narines et de la mâchoire. Les poils durs ou une pousse de plusieurs jours peuvent aussi demander davantage de travail selon les témoignages.
Le Braun Series 8 est-il fiable ?
Les témoignages Reddit rapportent des démarrages impossibles sans branchement momentané au chargeur, des boutons défaillants et des infiltrations d’eau, dont une panne survenue en moins de six mois. À l’inverse, un appareil acheté mi-2020 fonctionne toujours au moment du témoignage, et un autre reste utilisable malgré un bouton qui prend du jeu. Ces retours ne permettent pas d’établir un taux de panne.
La lubrification et la station sont-elles utiles ?
Un utilisateur Reddit rapporte un rasage plus proche et plus doux après lubrification. Un autre apprécie la station pour maintenir son appareil lubrifié et chargé. Ces observations ne permettent pas d’affirmer que la lubrification résout tous les problèmes de coupe.
Received the 8 as a gift. Worst shaver I have ever used. Takes twice as long to get a good shave. Rather use a throw away razor. I have shaved for 40 years. Braun is the worst.
Worst shaver in my 55 years history of Shaving. Wrong has replaced my heads twice. Still the worst shaver I have ever owned. I have an S8. I think I know what DS stands for.
