I would much rather sacrifice a few extra cubic centimeters in my luggage and bring along a proper razor. One of the standout features of the Braun Mobile Shaver M90 is its battery-powered design. This shaver runs on two AA batteries, which makes it a great option for those who are always on the go and need a portable grooming solution. I wouldn’t consider it a viable option for traveling if I was away for more than a couple of days. If that’s the case then I highly recommend sacrificing a bit more luggage space and bringing along a proper shaver.

Protective Cap: The shaver comes with a protective cap that you can use to cover the foil and blades when the shaver is not in use. This will help to protect the foil and blades from damage and keep them clean. The post shave comfort is quite good actually; I didn’t experience any significant irritation despite the problems mentioned above. This decision must also have something to do with the fact that the R95 is a travel shaver designed to be used sparingly. If no running water is available, you can use the included cleaning brush to sweep off any hair clippings. This is an absolute chore and should only be used as a last resort.As I said at the beginning of this review, I find the solution of regular, replaceable AA batteries to be a decent one for a travel shaver. Since you can’t wash the R95 with water, a good option would be to use a spray cleaner every once in a while. Shaving performance The metal part is called the foil, and it helps protect sensitive skin from the blades of this razor. While the Series 1 (190s-1) could do touch ups just fine, anything longer than a day or two of growth required many passes, so many in fact that it just was not practical to use. This is important since the R95 is not waterproof and can’t be rinsed with water, so there’s a good chance that dirt and hairs will accumulate inside the actual cutters.

The Braun M90 is a small and compact shaver ideal for those needing a portable shaver. It is easy to hold and can be stored in your office, car, or on the weekend. It runs on double-A batteries and has an open and closed switch. The foil doesn’t hold up much better either and there are multiple stories of users who have experienced this. I will be the first to admit that I was never fond of the travel shavers for the reasons outlined above. Two regular AA batteries power the Braun M90 foil mobile shaver, and they can be easily replaced with new ones, which are easy and inexpensive to buy and provide continuous performance to give good results for a long time. The cleaning process is quite straight forward and easy, especially for men who have used rotary shavers in the past and were required to perform a thorough cleaning of the shaving heads.Braun intelligently designed the shaver with a protective cap that covers the foil from outer hits while not in use, reducing the need for a travel pouch. Depending on how you use the razor, a couple of quality alkaline AA batteries should provide one hour of shaving time. And that’s actually quite good.

If you have a very light beard and don’t suffer from sensitive skin, you could get away with using it as your main shaver. You can also use rechargeable batteries (with a separate, standalone charger) to reduce your running costs to a minimum. The overall impression is that the Remington R95 simply doesn’t feel like a proper electric shaver, capable of getting the job done seamlessly and smoothly. Included accessories Overall, the accessories that come with the Braun Mobile Shaver M90 are basic but functional. The cleaning brush and protective cap are essential for keeping the shaver clean and protected, while the user manual provides helpful information on how to use and maintain the shaver. Battery and Charging

The shaver comes with a twist cap that protects the foil when not in use which is located on the top of this shaver. Overall, I was very impressed with the build quality and the ergonomics of the Braun M90. Battery life This slow operation pretty much reflects the shaving experience with the R95, a razor that feels underpowered and sluggish for the most part. Braun’s m90 is fairly simple to clean, simply lather it up with hand soap, turn the shave on and rinse it under running water. Moreover, the foil and cutter can be separated, unlike the ones on other Braun shavers that use cassettes. This makes the cleaning process extremely straightforward and easy.

Cleaning an electric razor should always be hassle and frustration-free. and with the R95 it is — for the most part. The design and features make the M90 a perfect portable shaver that is very affordable but will provide you with the best shaving result on the go. The very long charging time, coupled with the not so great battery life are also weak points of this razor. Using a pre-shave did improve comfort, but it was still not a smooth experience. If you have sensitive skin (like I do), definitely keep this in mind.You do not need to wait for a full charge like regular electric razors and instantly use it after replacing the batteries. Now those of you who have read my Braun Series 1 Smart Control (190s-1) Review will know that I gave it an absolute roasting. Removing all the cut hairs with the brush alone is nigh on impossible and I definitely recommend you use running water to rinse the shaver where possible. When it comes to cleaning the Braun Mobile Shaver M90, it’s a pretty straightforward process. First, turn on the shaver and run it under warm water. You can then apply some liquid soap and rerun it before rinsing it off. Be sure not to brush on the shave and foil, which may damage the shaver. Remember that the shaver runs on double-A batteries, so removing them when not in use is essential to avoid unnecessarily draining the batteries. Additionally, if you plan on using the shaver often and cleaning it with running water, applying some machine oil to the foil once a week or every two weeks to keep it in good shape is recommended.
