Braun Electric Shavers

There have been quite a few Braun shavers around and their marketing materials often flaunt their unique technology. You’ve probably seen or tried their famous Pulsonic electric shavers which offer thousands of micro-vibrations which help to get a better shave. But this particular Braun shaver isn’t a Pulsonic shaver, it’s just a simple electric foil shaver, that’s all. It might not have the latest technology out there but the Braun Series 3 340 Men’s Shaver is a good, no-nonsense shaver that works. In fact this was one of the first Braun shavers I’ve used, before I upgraded to the famous Braun 7 Pulsonic Shaver.

Shaving is a ritual I go through every day without fail.  The Braun Series 7-760cc Pulsonic Shaver System is my weapon of choice. There’s a lot of technology packed into this device.  First off there’s the pulsonic technology that captures hair with thousands of micro vibrations with every stroke.  All those obnoxious flat-lying hairs meet their end with the activelift trimmer.  The triple action cutting system handles hair of any length, while the optifoil shaves about as close as you can get.

I can choose the right shave for my face with the different personalization modes, and the pivoting shaver head can adapt to the contours of my face perfectly.  Best of all (for me, anyway) is how easy it is to clean – just run it under tap water or drop it in the clean and renew system.  There’s really nothing they haven’t thought of to help me get a clean, comfortable shave. Let’s take a look at what I like and don’t like about the Braun 7-760cc Pulsonic Shaver.



My wife is kind of tired of hearing me rave about electric shavers and particularly about this Braun shaver, which is a quite a triumph of engineering. I’ve owned this beauty for about six months now and below I’m going to go over the specs real quickly before detailing my experiences with the Braun Series 7- 790cc Pulsonic Shaver thus far.

My job requires me to travel on a regular basis and to be clean shaven. Sometimes I don’t have time to shave in the morning so I wanted an ultra-compact and super portable shaver for shaving in the car. Sure, I could bring my favorite Panasonic Arc ES8243A Nano Shaver but if I could get something smaller for on-the-go shaving, why not? So I bought the Braun PocketGo P-70 Men’s Shaver to test it out. This turned out to be a great choice since it has everything I need in one tiny package.  First of all, it’s battery powered, which means I don’t have to worry about lugging around cords and chargers wherever I go.
