Every man's style and stubble is different - the Series 5 is as happy tackling light overnight stubble as it is a weekend's worth of heavy growth by getting rid of those frustrating problem hairs that lie flat to skin.

Pressing the shaver harder, repeatedly going over the same area, risking skin irritation is no longer necessary because the sleekly styled Series 5 helps give you a hassle-free, close, and comfortable shave any day of the week.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent choice for the man who wants to go bald!   September 5, 2008
I bought this for my husband's birthday. He had decided to go bald and was shaving with a regular razor and hated it. Once he had his electric braun it's done in a snap and easy to clean. It is definitely a great choice.


5 out of 5 stars amazing   August 12, 2008
This shaver is amazing. Well worth the money. I had a norelco triple head shaver for three years and my face never got used to it and I never got a clean shave. I bought the braun 360 complete and was amazed at the great shave from day one. It's the closest thing to a razor and doesn't
tear up your face. I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone.



4 out of 5 stars Good, almost great   August 9, 2008
Much better than the last electric razor I was using (Remington Titanium MS 5500); closer shave, better trimmer, less razor-burn, better cleaning system. Some areas of my face get an excellent close shave, just like a blade. But, after a few weeks, I am still figuring out how to get a good shave without repeatedly going over some areas without irritation. This razor does so well with some places, I've raised my standards for my whole face.
Overall, I'm happily experimenting with a very good razor & went ahead and bought a years supply of cleaning solution.



4 out of 5 stars Braun 8985 complete 360   August 4, 2008
I love the feel of this shaver. A lot smoother than my previous 7 series. I have not used the cleaner yet!


4 out of 5 stars Very Close Shave!   August 4, 2008
I have to come clean, I have had Braun shavers for most of my life but recently had switched to a remington (due to my local store being out of all brauns) after mine had died. I shelled out over $70 for a Remington and would never again stray. This braun is great, very close shave and no nicks. Not sure what the other guy is talking about on the nicks! The cleaning process, I was a bit skeptical about, but it is worth it in the end. I have a thick beard and for the money and not having to clean it myself, it is well worth it. Also, I used to get acne coming back every once in awhile but with this cleaning system, it seems almost non-existent. I am guessing that having a sterile and clean blade probably helps my face, go figure! Would definitely recommend.
