Braun Series 7 7085cc Flex Rechargeable Wet & Dry Men's Electric Shaver with Clean & Charge Station, Stubble & Beard Trimmer

Well, who would have known - finally an electric shaver that works as advertised, providing a clean, close, satisfying shave that's smooth as that baby's behind every time. Easy and fast too! Just be sure to use it up and down for best results. The instruction manual is also poorly done - so use a few YouTube videos to get all the facts. The little charging stand is not something I will be using, although I had wanted to - placing the shaver on it is tricky and the shaver, yes - placed correctly, is wobbly and precarious. It will fall out of the charger often. So, just plug it in to the bottom and be done with the poor quality charging stand. Overall, a great shaver and worth the bucks. Braun is durable and is easy to clean. Now, go get one right here on Amazon!

This is my first electric shaver and I’m never going back to disposable blades. I was having skin irritation and redness with blades. This Braun has done wonders and has corrected my skin irritation. My co worker said get a Braun if you get one and don’t go cheap. Also recommended foil instead rotating blades. The battery charge last forever. It does get a really close shave if you use it multiple passes. I can’t even imagine if top of the line Braun’s could be much better than the series 7. Works great wet or dry and very easy to clean.

I’d give this product 5 stars if it wasn’t for the horrible, almost incomprehensible user manual (actually a single sheet of diagrams) which forces the user to figure out the use and operation of the shaver through sheer trial and error. I’ve had an older model self-cleaning Braun shaver for years so I had some experience and figuring out the nuances of this one didn’t take long but good luck with the printed directions. I tried to find the "user manual" online at Braun's website but it was merely more of the same. I’m surprised that a terrificGerman company like Braun would be so inept at providing information to its customers particularly given the price of their products. Otherwise, it’s a great shaver with multi-use attachments which are easily switched out for trimming, from very close, clean shave, a stubble attachment for that look, a trimmer attachment with 7 length varieties and of course the attractive cleaner/charger base. The battery length is superb, even if you shave every day and the self-cleaning option works perfectly. The shaver is very ergonomically comfortable and even looks good sitting on the countertop inserted in the base. It also comes with a very nice travel case with room for needed attachments. In short, great razor/trimmer, a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Only negative—lack of a decent user manual.

I upgraded from an older series 7 Braun shaver to the 7085 shaver. The shave is much improved and love that the foil stays on the face during the entire shave. It moves over the chin, neck and face with ease and stays flush. This provides a nice close shave without any nicks. The attachments are nice and several were included which are great for sideburn trimming, beard trimming and stubble trimming. Its a little bit of an effort to remove the foil and snap on the other attachments and I miss the pop up trimmer on my old shaver but they all perform well. The cleaning system is a little different and in order to charge the shaver while in the smart care unit, you have to also clean it. The old system didn't require this. Not a big deal as the shaver will last a long time between charges so you can just let it sit in the smart care system and just clean when you need to and get a charge. Now the bad part which is the instructions. There are pictures without much explanations so you have to try decipher what it means. I did figure it out as there is an info button on the shaver and when you press this it runs through the battery status, foil status and cleaning status. I did a chat with with customer service and high bars on each of these are good (full charge, good foil, and clean unit) whereas a low bar/no bar means its time for a charge, the foil needs to be changed and/or the shaver needs to be cleaned. It is a wet/dry shaver so you can shave with soap/water if you want and you can also just clean the shaver/foil under soap and water if you want. So this is a nice feature and can reduce how often you run it through the smart care cleaner. So all in all I am happy with it and the shaver is a nice upgrade.

I have sensitive skin and get razor burns and skin irritations with blades. The rotary razor gives the same results. I've been using the Braun Series 5 shaver for a couple of years. It was OK but honestly, it was hard to get a close shave. I like the Braun Foil Shaver and settled on the Series 7 7185cc. Other than being a newer model, I was almost expecting the same results. Boy, was I wrong. The flex head adjusts to your face and truly does produce a close shave while protecting the skin. The 3 shave modes offers flexability to customize your shaving experience. After using it a while, I settled on the Turbo mode. It gives a fast shave without any irritation. The SmartCare Center makes cleaning the razor a breeze. After rinsing the head and shaking it dry, pop it in the cleaner, turn it on and forget about it. When it's done cleaning, it charges the razor. I generally use the cleaner about once a week. In between, I just rinse it off, shake it dry and put it in the cleaning center to dry. The battery is exceptional. Even after a week of daily use, it barely reads below a full charge. I like the fact that it's waterproof and can be used in the shower if needed. I haven't used the Beard Stubbler, and Beard Trimmer attachments yet. I'd expect them to function as intended. The included travel pouch offer additional flexability. I've taken the razor with me many times. I took the charging cord several times but never needed to charge it. Sure, the manual could be a little better but it's all pretty basic and there is not alot you need to know to use it. Overall, I'm highly impressed with this razor. It is a great upgrade from the Series 5. I'm sure it will last. Braun makes great products.

It is a bit different from my previous braun series 7

Bought all the stuff extra head refills all of it. Heads keep breaking in 3 weeks. Giant waste of money

Upgraded from a 5 year old Series 6 and this is night and day better. Slim design, great battery and attachments. So efficient I can shave in 3 or 4 minutes and it's not far off a wet razer shave closeness. The Dock is well designed compared to my old one that had connection problems. I hope this lasts another 5 years!

Muy bueno

I guess shaver preference is a personal choice. But for me, I feel this provide the cleanest and least irritation among the different types of shavers I’ve tried (namely Gillette Shavers, and Philips rotary shavers)
