Braun Series 9 9390cc Rotary Shaver Trimmer Silver

Product Information

The shaver adapts to the unique contours of your face, cutting even thick stubble while minimizing irritation and any chance of shaving rash. 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). So you can expect a good two or three weeks of regular shaving before you need to charge the shaver back up either via a cable directly or via the cleaning station. Close enough is good enough and I will always give up on a bit of closeness for the aforementioned benefits.

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 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 do not know if this way of showing the shaving head status has changed over time, and if there are different version of the 9385, but maybe you have more knowledge about that? Hi Ovidiu, as I’ve aged my beard has changed to where there are now fine hairs lying flat to the skin under my jaw.The launch of a presumably new Series 9 shaver is kind of a big deal in the electric shaving community and unsurprisingly, there were a lot of questions and speculations about the performance of this new S9. So you don’t necessarily need the station, but I find it quite useful just to clean the shaver thoroughly every once in a while.

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 reading more of your reviews and am now trying to decide between 5090cc, 7 790cc or an 8 equivalent? I will definitely be reviewing the Cooltec (long time coming), but it will be a while since I have quite a few reviews in the works at the moment. 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.This is great if you find one that works best for you, or just want the freedom to let it work around your contours. As for the cleaning refills, they are the same ones used throughout Braun’s entire lineup of shavers and can be purchased virtually anywhere. The shaving is much smoother, and it is literally “eating” the beard much quicker and more gently and in addition to this, the handling of the shaver is easier due to the lower wight.
