Braun Series 9 9390cc Latest Generation Electric Shaver, Clean&Charge Station, Leather Case, Silver

Product Information

Many users felt the upgrade, especially because the cost difference of the Series 7 was not adequate, and they preferred the Series 7.

All of our shavers are designed and tested to last at least 7 years, giving you the peace of mind that you can continue to enjoy the unique Series 9 experience for a very long time. Again, I cannot say anything with certainty right now, but I would be really surprised if these new models were better than the current Series 7 and Series 5, respectively. So I simply put the cassette back in place, turn the shaver on and let warm tap water run through the head.I used to have the old series 7 with a cleaning station that had an indicator telling me when to clean the shaver (short and 3 gradations from 1 to 3 drops). I also believe that the shaving(head) itself is not different, so could it be any of the other technical details, like for example the display (as I can understand from one of your reviews) or something else? However, if you’re into wet shaving and you don’t mind some prep work and cleaning afterward, you can safely use the 9385cc (or any of the current Series 9) with shaving cream. If you’re on a tighter budget, shave daily/every other day and you have a light to medium beard, the Arc 3 should be good enough.

I’ve been through the instruction booklet of the new shaver (9330s), but this situation is not covered. I would also consider shaving a bit more often and even using a pre-shave like the one from Speick — these tweaks are usually beneficial if you have patches of flat-lying hairs. Just make sure to get one of the models fitted with a 13 000 CPM (cycles per minute) motor like the ES8103S or ES-LT6N/ES-LT3N and so on. Finally, as I said in my direct comparison of the Series 9 and 7, I think for most users the 7 will easily be good enough and only in a few particular cases the Series 9 will be noticeably better (for example, having long, wiry, facial hair).

Two motors, operating simultaneously at different frequencies, produce sonic micro-vibrations that cause the blades to make over 40,000 cross-cutting movements per minute. It’s also odd that you couldn’t import the unit; I’ve bought many Braun cc models from the USA and never had any issues with the customs. I purchased a Panasonic Arc 5 blade shaver prior to this one as my previous Braun series 5 had similar issues with the cheap plastics and the Braun cleaning station. I know that for the first one, a series 3 is usually more recommended but since there is a big sale this weekend on the series 7, I’m considering it. When I first saw that the cc station has a different part number, I was convinced that this was taken care of.

All the reviews are so detailed, and I have not seen any other site which has so many details in their reviews as your site, and I have looked at quite a few. I’m the chief shaverer over here at ShavingAdvisor and when I am not shaving off any hair I have left, or writing about what I have shaved off – I do a load of other life stuff and enjoy a good cup of tea between doing stuff! The reason I’m writing is that after charging, I don’t see the “9” that is shown in most product display photos of this model. The Series 9 is pretty quiet for a foil shaver during use; it’s definitely quieter than the rest of the shavers in Braun’s lineup. Especially when it cuts the hairs, it seems to rattle and also vibrates a bit, which makes the perceived sound louder.On my unit it’s the exact same thing, it wasn’t modified in the meantime, it’s just how I thought it works at the moment of writing the review (obviously, I was wrong). And even so, it is fiddly to use and a far cry from the ones on Panasonic shavers that are in my opinion a lot better. The 9385cc and some other country-specific models in the 93xx generation were initially only available in a few markets, particularly in Europe and Asia.

I would confidently take this shaver on a holiday with a fully charged battery and leave the cord at home. Overall, the 9385cc shaved close and the vast majority of users will be pleased with the performance.Just don’t use it right before shaving — the foils should be completely dry, so make sure you allow them enough time to dry. First time after 4 months it would just turn off while wet shaving and not turn on again, only vibrate for a split second even with the cassette detached.
