Braun 360° Complete 8985

Pros: close shave, quick, cleans self, and no irritation

Cons: price (if not on sale), and considerably louder than Norelco's

The Bottom Line: Buy if you can afford it because you can't get a better shave. It also cleans itself for you.

Review: This is by far the best electric I have owned. Granted the only others I have had were two Norelco, one of which used lotion during shaving. I bought this shaver about a month and a half ago. I got it on-line from Kohl's for $75. I had had my Norelco ...

Pros: Use it before you wash or after, self cleaning, very close shave

Cons: can't think of anything I don't like.

The Bottom Line: If it holds up as my other Braun does and continues to perform as it does, it is an excellent shaver.

Review: I have been using electric shavers for 37 years so I don't shave with a blade very often. My last Remington AC corded shaver gave up after 15 years. You can't find anything that isn't rechargeable (not an important feature for me) so I decided to get ...

Pros: Close shave, pivoting head and trimmer

Cons: Use common sense to save money on cleaner and cutters

The Bottom Line: The razor works very well for me.  I like using it. Use your head - only clean it when it needs it!

Review: I've had a Braun 360 Complete Electric Shaver for almost two years now and I really like it's ability to shave! I have a short beard, but I use a shaver to keep my neck and cheeks free of facial hair as well as keeping the beard trimmed with the pop-up ...

Pros: Shaves very close, cleaning station works great, build quality is great

Cons: The foil screen is some what fragile as with all foil type razors.

Review: I have been mostly using a mach 3 and decided to go back to electric. The problem was my old norelco (lotion dispensing type) was due for replacement. After doing some research on foil type razors (supposed to shave closer than rotary type) I found the ...

Pros: Clean shaver and close shave in about 2 minutes.

Cons: Takes up space on the counter.

Review: I used a Panasonic wet/dry shaver before. I find the Braun 360 to be far superior to any electric shaver I have used. Don't know about the cleaning system and it's costs, but don't really care since the shaver is clean each use and does such a ...

Pros: Closest shave of any razor I have used, cleans itself

Cons: Flat shape, bulky base doesn't travel, cleaning is loud, bright blue LEDs distracting in dark

The Bottom Line: Recommended for tough, fast growing beards where other electric shavers have failed

Review: Competition I'm not going to delve into the other competition on the market, since I haven't used those razors personally. Instead, I must mention that I've used other shaving solutions over the years, and compared the Braun ...

Pros: quieter than my old Braun

Cons: takes several passes to shave as close as I like.

The Bottom Line: This shaver is a good buy, but try one or two others if you can to see if they can do the same thing with less work.

Review: I wish I had the nerve and energy to take advantage of the thirty day return policy on electric shavers. The only way to find the best shaver for yourself, I believe, is to buy each one that looks promising, try it out for 25 days and then return it. ...

Pros: A decent shaver. Nice close shave, with a little stubble. easy to use.

Cons: Maybe a little noisy, nothing serious. It is , after all an electric razor.

The Bottom Line: I would buy this razor again, but am still curious about the other brands and types

Review: This is the first electric shaver that I've had in about 20 years. I had one way back when, but it was a cheaper Remington at the time. Definitely not a fair comparison. The old model died of natural causes (age) and I decided to go back to the triple ...

Pros: Skin loves the shave, reasonably quick shave, unit is constantly clean and charged. Reliable.

Cons: Takes several passes to get a complete shave.

The Bottom Line: Want a shave that's easy on the skin and easy to use? Not blade smooth on the first pass, but 100x better on the skin. No more shaving cream!

Review: I did a lot of shopping around before I bought the Braun and checked the epinions reviews. The other reviews are spot-on. It's not quite as close as a blade and requires several passes to get really smooth. Using ElectricShave pre-treatement helps some, ...

Pros: Clean and charge shaves almost as close as a blade Shaves 4-5 days stubble

Cons: Takes too long to get a thorough close shave 15 minutes on a thick beard

The Bottom Line: Great razor but too long to shave close - 15 minutes on a thick beard. Almost as close as a blade!

Review: This was my first electric shaver - I normally shave with a shick extreme 3 bladed razor. Once my face got used to the razor (took a couple of weeks), it shaved almost as close as a bladed razor. The charging and storage unit were handy and no fuss. I ...
