the stations that come with the 9365cc, 9370cc, 9376cc, and 9310cc Sport (initially a Costco exclusive) models only have one standard cleaning mode as opposed to the rest that have 3 (short, normal, intensive). After testing it for a few weeks, I can confirm that it is at least as good and most users will find it very satisfying.

I will share my thoughts on it in the performance section of the review after testing the Series 9 Pro on various beard lengths. Oddly enough, just one year after the big launch, Braun rolled out an apparently minor update to the Series 9 that caused a lot of fuss and also raised some questions.Anyhow, looks like Braun is buying themselves a bit of time before inevitably they launch a successor for S9. Reply For these reasons, I recommend getting the Arc 5 if closeness is particularly important and you tend to shave more often as the Panasonic works best on short stubble. When it arrived i immediately wanted to use it and figured id just plug it in and shave , but i had to wait for a full charge (So now when batter finally goes ill have to send away and wait for a battery replacement ). As mentioned a couple of times earlier in the review, the Braun Series 9 Pro is a bit louder than the standard models, but still among the quietest shavers in Braun’s lineup. In that case (and also considering the small performance differences), getting one of the previous Series 9 generations makes a lot of sense.

As for how often should you shave, it’s entirely up to you. Normally the hair should have a reasonable length, so I’d say no more than 3 days between shaves for most users. You can shave daily as well, but it would sometimes be better to allow your skin an extra day of break before subjecting it to a shave again. Precisely, every model in the original Series 9 family starts with 90: 9090cc, 9095cc, 9093s, and so on.

And considering that the 93xx shavers are now widely available and can cost even less than the 92xx, those are probably the ones to get. Finally, there’s the new Philips Norelco 9500 if you know from previous experience that rotary razors work better for you. It has 3 cleaning modes ( Short, Normal, Intensive) that the station automatically selects depending on how dirty the shaver is. While there’s no official mention of this by Braun (in fact, their customer support reps might say they will not work), the newer 93xx, 94xx and 95xx solo models are in fact compatible with the new 93xx/95xx stations (props to Pablo for confirming it). There’s also a new color option available with the Series 9 Pro that roughly translates from German to Precious Metal.

The cleaning station is also an improvement compared to the 9090cc. My biggest complaint on the 9090cc was that the cleaning station would slosh the solution out of the top when running the cycle and it would get everywhere. With the newer cleaning station, i noticed that the cleaning is much more contained and the solution doesn’t escape out the top when it’s cleaning. Your experience with the two shavers is indeed less common, but certainly not impossible. The Series 8 for example always gave me the same close shave as the more expensive Series 9, but the latter was better when I shaved after 3 days for example — definitely a lot more effective. On the other hand, the Series 9 Pro is a lot better with longer, flat-lying hairs. It’s also more comfortable. For this reason, along with the potential problems of the original shaving heads (we’ll get into that as well), the original Series 9 models don’t really represent a viable option in 2023 anymore. 2. The 2016 Series 9 (92xx) And the Series 9 is already an excellent performer out of the box, so adding a shaving cream won’t make that much of a difference here. 4. Corded and cordless use

This is in my opinion the highlight of the S9 Pro — a change to the actual shaving head that can have a direct impact on the performance of the shaver. Anyway that’s just my preference with regards to the Series 9, I think the station is worth the extra money. With Panasonic for example I never buy the one that come with a station, it’s simply not needed. These 2 models are not yet on sale in Australia and while each comes with respective additional heads, strangely they do not come with PowerCase. Probably to keep costs down.

Common duplex alloys include are 318L, LDX 2101, LDX 2304, 2507 and 4501 (Also known as 25CR superduplex) grades. It’s powerful and fast and it takes me less time to complete my shave compared to using anything else, especially when shaving longer stubble. The station is for example the only real important difference between a Braun Series 9 9370cc vs 9390cc or vs 9385cc.

This review is part of a promotion]This new series 9 razor from Braun is hands down the best shaving product I’ve ever owned, it’s an absolute joy to use, even switching it on is satisfying! The shaver feels very high quality in your hand, it’s weighty, but in a way that inspires confidence in the product, it’s not overly bulky to handle, which is what I’ve found with previous electric razors. Popular in indoor applications, such as kitchenware, or out-of-sight applications, such as exhaust, these alloys are well suited for situation where visual appeal isn’t as important as cost and performance.
