Braun Series 9 Electric Shaver With Clean & Charge Station & Leather Case, Flawless Shave, 100% Waterproof, 2 Pin Bathroom Plug, 9390cc, Silver Razor

Product Information

The launch of the 93xx Series 9 was a bit surprising and Braun didn’t make a big deal out of it like we’ve seen in the past with the 92xx Series 9 for example. That normally never happens with my older Series 9. I suspect the wider gap between the two rows of teeth of the new ProLift trimmer is the culprit.

The Series 9 9385cc during the automatic cleaning process. It comes with a Clean & Charge System Pro with 3 cleaning modes. As for the 40 000 cutting actions per minute, it simply refers to the fact that the blades oscillate at 10 000 cycles per minute. Multiply that by the number of blades — in this case 4 — and we get 40 000 cutting actions. The new Series 9 9385cc/9390cc comes with an upgraded MCU (microcontroller unit). The 32bit unit is a lot more powerful than the presumably 8bit processor of the existing Series 9 shavers. However, on my 9385 the indicator is a bit different; When I turn off the shaver the 5 vertical bars will show both the battery status, and the shaving head status (not at the same time). When the shaver is turned off, the battery icon will be shown together with a number of vertical bars (e.g 3 for approximately 50 % battery capacity). After 1 second or so, the battery icon will turn off and the shaving head icon will turn on and at the same time the vertical bars will change to the shaving head status like for example 5 bars for indicating a new shaving head.I have now used my new 9385 for around a week, and what a joy. Compared to my Series 7 shave, the 9385 beats it in nearly any aspects. 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 A pre-shave lotion can be viable alternative to shaving cream and can improve your dry shave results. I actually wrote an article on this topic, you can access it here.

When fully charged, it can provide up to 60 minutes of cordless shaving time. That’s slightly better than the current Series 9 models that can be used for 50 minutes. I did however notice that the S9 Pro is a bit louder and feels somewhat faster when shaving (the motor is still a 10000 oscillations per minute unit though).But other than that, it’s hard to fault the 9385cc or any of the Series 9 shavers in general when it comes to comfort.

Braun shavers don’t particularly excel when it comes to closeness, but the Series 9 is one of their more capable models if that’s what you’re after. Another point to note is the durability of your battery. I put it to load at the moment of its reception and nineteen days later it continues perfectly loaded, with practically daily shaves. This provides a tremendous autonomy and, despite the fact that the charger – with a nice design also in the product line – is of small size with this duration of the load it is perfectly avoidable to take it for punctual departures or even for a fortnight of vacations. Hi Bruno, there are more facets to this problem. The 18 months life span of Braun’s shaving heads is merely a theoretical guideline. We have no idea on how Braun tests their products or if it is a realistic depiction of real life use cases. Cleaning your shaver with water and liquid soap also strips the blades off of any form of lubrication, increasing the wear of the blades if you don’t lubricate them regularly. And in the case of using foam/lather you are basically forced to clean your razor in this manner. In my opinion this is the main cause that can lead to a premature wear of the cutting parts with regards to wet shaving. Mineral buildups from hard water can definitely play a part, that’s why is very important to thoroughly clean, dry and lubricate the shaver every time. Series 9 leather vs hard textile travel case. Both offer adequate protection, but the leather one looks and feels more premium.You won’t have a Series 9 Pro though after that upgrade as using a standard Series 9 with the 94M Pro head will pretty much feel like using a standard Series 9. This means that you won’t be able to pair an existing Series 9 station with a 9293s for example. It’s the same story if you plan on buying an S model and getting the station separately later on — it won’t work.
