Braun Series 9 9390cc Rotary Shaver Trimmer Silver

Product Information

I have always used Braun shavers but this was my most well informed purchase by far thanks to this site! Even if other razors like Panasonic’s Arc 5 are objectively better at getting a close shave, they are more aggressive and harsh, especially when used dry, so in my case I was actually getting a slightly closer shave with the 9385cc on my neck.

The shaver charged fine and all audible and visual indications during the process worked as they always had before.Tip: the newer Braun 94M cassette that comes with the Series 9 Pro and Series 9 PRO+ is compatible with the standard S9 like the 9390cc or 9385cc. I know that there are more important things in the world, but it’s also important to have some distraction from those. After putting the razor in place, you’ll hear a beep confirming that the pins on the back of it are properly aligned with the contacts inside the station.

As I got my money back after complaining for the 3rd time, I’m now torn between the Panasonic es-lv6u and the newer Braun Series 9 Pro. Preferably after one with a hard case (fabric or leather), but know I can purchase one of these later if needed so not a deal-breaker. Have recently bought the 9390 after using the Phillips rotary for many years before realising it was the cause of my facial rash!Yes, the battery is a bit larger and there’s that 32-bit MCU, but the latter doesn’t seem to make any difference whatsoever in terms of shaving performance. Also, when I mention sensitive skin, I mainly refer to users with skin that is prior to getting razor burn and rashes (ingrown hairs are in my opinion a separate issue).

The intensive cleaning program (that gets selected every time) lasts exactly 2 minutes and 10 seconds, so it’s not really a big deal. But it’s great that yours seems to be working as it should — I never had a Series 9 cc that would actually use the Short program. In the unlocked position, the shaving head can swivel freely, while sliding it down will lock the head in one of the 5 pre-determined positions. With Braun shavers, I think most users (myself included) will end up using them dry anyway as they’re already good enough — unlike Panasonic for example where you’ll likely get a more comfortable shave. These new shavers were initially only available in several European countries and it wasn’t clear if or when they will be officially launched in the USA as well.As for the 40 000 cutting actions per minute, it simply refers to the fact that the blades oscillate at 10 000 cycles per minute. I was recommended to get an electric shaver again because I am undergoing a course of radiotherapy to my neck. The shavers themselves have been mostly problem-free without any intrinsic flaws (like the head-locking mechanism of the original Series 7) — apart from edge cases that in all fairness affect shavers from all brands (like power buttons falling out).

I currently have a Braun 7xxx which I like pretty well, but it’s always frustrated me how poorly the foil catches the hair as it shaves. Part of me thinks that the difference between both these electric shavers in closeness will probably be barely noticeable as compared to a manual razor. What I can read from your review, is that the small shaving head icon is showing the tiny lines which should indicate when the shaving head needs replacement. The foils getting warm during use is common with electric shavers, including the Series 9, as long as it doesn’t get hot to the point of feeling discomfort.So while you will get a slightly smaller battery in the case of a 92xx model, it can cost less, in which case it will be the better pick. By the way, the station cannot actually assess how dirty is the shaving head and the selection of the cleaning program is only based on a timer (how long the shaver has been running since the last cleaning cycle). Flexible cutting elements are mounted on a pivoting head, and Braun’s MicroMotion and MacroMotion technologies allow for maximum skin contact, while reducing skin pressure. Just like every other Series 9 model, the new 9385cc/9390cc features the same 4-blade cutting system. I have also asked them about the differences between the 9360cc, 9365cc, 9375cc, 9370cc, 9376cc, 9380cc, 9381cc, 9384cc, 9385cc, 9390cc, 9394cc and 9395cc models.
