Product Description
Product Description
The Braun Series 7 790cc-4 electric foil shavers have the world’s only intelligent Sonic technology that automatically increases power in difficult areas. Powered by a lithium ion battery, the Braun Series 7 790cc electric shaver is the smart choice for the discerning man. Significantly gentler and more efficient than any rotary shaver, the Series 7 electric razor contours to the curves of your face with flexible blades on a fully pivoting head for maximum coverage. This electric shaver also adapts to your beard density, using up to 10,000 micro vibrations per minute when needed. With less strokes and pressure required while shaving, the results are smooth skin without the skin irritation. And as the Series 7 electric razors shave as close as 0.05mm, as thin as half a human hair, that smoothness lasts longer, for a highly efficient and superior shave. The electric shaver also comes with a Clean&Charge station, the world's only 5- action alcohol-based system that hygiencially cleans, charges, and lubricates the blades and shaver. Engineered, tested and made in Germany, you are guaranteed exceptional performance every day, for up to 7 years. The best environmental temperature for charging is between 41 degree Fahrenheit to 95 degree Fahrenheit / 5 degree Celsius to 35 degree Celsius. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 122 degree Fahrenheit / 50 degree Celsius for extended periods of time.

STRATEGIES FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF THE FLUID CARTRIDGES.
Braun wrangles you in with the fluid cartridges for the self-clean cycle. I try to make the most out of the cartridges with the following strategy:
1. After each shaving use, take about 20-30 seconds to take off the foil, expose the blades, and blow out as much hair from the blades and foil as you can. That way, when you wash it, all that hair doesn't go straight into the fluid cartridge and gunk it up as quickly. Sure, there will be residual hair that the cleaning station can get out, but that's it's job, right?
Think about it like this. It's like your dishwasher: you wouldn't overwork your dishwasher by leaving all the food on your plate when you stick your plate into the dishwasher, right? You would wash the plate off a little in the sink, then toss it in the dishwasher. Similarly, with this shaver, just blow out the excess hair manually with your breath or a little brush, the stick the shaver in cleaning station (but don't use the station yet!)
2. The other part of the strategy helps mitigate evaporation and thus cleaning fluid loss over time. I think the solution is alcohol or something, but the point is, the seal between the fluid cartridge and the cleaning station is not 100%, so slowly, fluid evaporates out and the fluid level drops. This is WITHOUT you even using the station to clean the blades. Also, as the cleaning station cycles fluid around the shaver, that too, allows the fluid to be exposed to air, causing more fluid evaporation and loss.
So my suggestion is to only run the cleaning cycle maybe every three shaves, which means it will wash it less. (This is unfortunately mitigated by the fact that the shaver knows how often it has been used...and can adjust from the clean level from low, to medium, to high based on 1-3 uses. So a strong wash probably uses more fluid, but hey, I can only do so much before I am defeated by my smart shaver!)
I get a cartridge to last about 6-8 weeks, and I shave 3-4 days a week, and run clean cycle once a week. (I don't have a 9-5 job :) ). So if you are shaving every day, I might suggest a cleaning cycle once a week, and you should get similar performance. I realize this is a $200 shaving system, so would the purchaser be that frugal with the cartridges or even bother with this strategy? Hey it's just my advice, you don't have to follow it.
SHAVE QUALITY
Shave quality is excellent, love the three different power modes. I use the gentle mode for around my lips and chin, medium for the sides of my face, and high for my neck. As they say, YMMV, so see what works for you.
The long hair trimmer is SUCH an unsung hero. This thing is EPIC. I used to use it even more than the actual trimmer when I was sporting my 'unkempt' look for a while. Had to ditch it, too many gray hairs on my face now, and they're unevenly distributed. The joys of being in my 30's. Anyways, I love the reach the long hair trimmer has, it sticks out on a little flap that gives you some serious reach, that way you don't have the regular shaving blades right up against your face. One improvement might be to turn off the regular shaving blades with the long hair trimmer is activated? I also love the ease of use of opening the long hair trimmer: it's like a badass little switchblade or something. And the position in which you hold the shaver when the long hair trimmer is open and running is perfect: that hand position forces you to keep the trimmer open, which means it can't collapse back into the shaver while you are using on your face. It's little design features like this that make me recommend products to friends.
Happily, I give it five stars. And this is after a few years of use, after the shine of a new product as worn off, and I'm using it as part of the daily grind.
Later on I purchased many of the new models which had a few more extra bells and whistles, some convenience features, twin cutting blocks and became cordless and rechargeable which was probably the most significant change for me. But they really could not improve on the performance of the Sixtant since it was so good to begin with, but I was happy with all the other forthcoming models I purchased.
I still have the 7570 model in very good working condition and still holds the charge very well after 11 years, the first one came with the cleaning system (very bad design) which broke after 2-3 months of use, but I felt that the cleaning system on this shaver does not really needed anyway. As long as the cutting block was separate from the foil it was fast, efficient and easy to clean it with the brush. Later I purchased the 8595 model which had a lot better designed jet cleaning system, it was a bit noisier than the 7570 but the performance was the same.
Before I got the 790cc I tried the Philips Norelco 1280X w/jet clean system which is a very nice and quiet shaver, does an excellent job and close shave but I could not get used to the ergonomics and the Braun definitely gives me a touch closer shave, my face felt a lot smoother after shaving even with the Braun 7570.
Finally I decided to get the 790cc the latest and greatest Braun which certainly has a lot of nice features, bells and whistles, easy to use and convenient to clean it with the cleaning system every other day, when the shaver feels and smells fresh, like new. My 7570 is still in very good working condition and compared to the 790cc it gives me the same close shave as my new 790cc, no noticeable difference to me. However I enjoy the new design, all the new features, the better ergonomics and the convenience of the clean and renew station.
So I am back to the same brand I have been using for the past 50 years and I am delighted with the performance of this new 790cc shaver and I can honestly say there is no other shaver on the market which gives you this close shave without any skin irritation, highly recommend it to anybody.
Update after almost 3 years:
I still have this Braun 790CC which works well but always has been pretty noisy and although I commented before that it gives me a touch closer shave than the Philips 1280XX it is really a toss up since I just repurchased a new Philips 1280XX/42 and alternately using both of them. They equal in closeness of shave and the Philips appears to be made from better material. On the Braun 790CC some of the nice metal looking parts are silver paint covered plastic and this paint coating is now bubbling up at the back under the cutting head after a couple of years of use and Jet cleaning which is very disappointing. The only thing with the Philips that it gives me a touch more skin irritation sometimes if I am not careful enough around the lower neck area, but very close and extremely quiet shave. No doubt that these 2 shavers are the best on the market today and I will be using both of them alternately for a while and make a final judgement if I will keep both of them or just the one I prefer to use.
Another update after using both the above shavers alternately for 3 weeks:
After 2 weeks of use there was no more skin irritation with the Philips and I had to come to a conclusion that the Philips 1280XX gives me faster, a lot quieter, smoother and even a bit closer shave than the Braun 790CC. Final word, the Philips 1280XX is the keeper for me.
Last Word: Philips screwed the customer giving up making replacement heads for the 1280XX shaver and the new replacement head design is a cheap garbage. I gave away my Philips and repurchased the Braun Series 7 790CC.
Another update after about another 20-25 years later now, and being 89 years old.
After a long long time and many shaver changes including the Braun 9 series, then latest and greatest Philips s9000 Prestige and the top of the Panasonic ES-LV9 Lamdash shaver which all have been excellent shavers but none of them gave me any better , quicker, more comfortable shave than the the Braun 790cc. I do not need all those 5 cutting heads on the Braun 9 series they do not give me better shave than the 790cc and they never felt comfortable enough in my hands. Same goes for the Super Duper Panasonic ES-LV9 Lamdash. The 3 cutting heads on the 790cc is perfectly or more than enough. (I was happy in 1965 with my Braun Sixtant having only one cutting head and a trimmer giving me the same close comfortable shave.)
So after a few decades later I am back where I started from, purchased a new Braun 790cc so I did not even have to change the title of this review, and I am as happy as ever been.
After 2 years later I want to do another update. Finally, Braun came out with the 9 Pro series and the Series 9 Pro 9465cc is equal and a bit faster than the 790cc both ergonomically and closeness of shave but for a lot more money.
However, they increased the price of the 790cc since the 790cc now discontinued and the difference in price is only $20 when the Series 9 Pro 9465cc is on sale. For the $20 difference the Series 9 Pro 9465cc is the clear choice.
But I will keep my 790cc anyway since it was the best performer of the Braun shavers for decades for a lot less money.
