I have had several Braun shavers in the past and this is by far the worst one I've ever used. My last one broke that I'd had for 5+ years and I switched to another brand. I wasn't satisfied and decided to try the Braun Series 1. Bad mistake. This shaver doesn't cut as smoothly as the others I have used. It also takes 3-4 times as long now to shave than before. The holes in the screen seem to be smaller and they aren't irregular shaped as in the past. All of this contributes to a shave that takes longer than it should. I'm one of the lucky men who can go 3-4 days without having to shave and have never had problems with past Braun shavers. This is not true now. Even shaving the next day with the Series 1 is a chore.

I have had this shaver for only about a month. At this point I am pleased with the product. Given my light beard, it does the job well; I would recommend the shaver for men with similar needs. It is probably not powerful enough for heavy beards. Overall, this was an excellent buy for men who don't need all the bells and whistles.

Great Razor - A lot of Razor companies forget the man with a full beard. This Razor has only a single edge and that is exectely what you need to get close to a beard. Everybody else uses a gimmick of muti-edges or blades when only one is all you need. Greatest electric Razor Ever.....

I've been a loyal Braun user for the last 4 years. I bought a 3 series last year that disappeared on me much to my chagrin and is a story for another time. In either case, I wasn't interested in paying $75 again and decided to get the Series 1 over any of the other brands.
While this razor is much more convenient then your typical razor and blades, it is horrible in comparison to the 3 Series. My face is more of an upside down egg shape, with my jaw tapering down but with a strong chin and this razor just didn't work for me. My old 3 series could shave my entire face in about 3 to 5 minutes depending on growth and with stops to find random hairs. This 1 series took twice as long and it never felt or looked like I was getting a CLOSE shave.
Now I figured that this was just due to the fact that it's an entry level razor however, I saw a Remington DA 307 for less money and decided to give it a shot since it has 2 foils like my old 3 series and it is almost depressingly superior.
If you are thinking of replacing your current electric razor and/or you are looking to go to a straight electric (Remington, Braun style) over the circular (Norelco style), just skip over this one as it'll leave you with a false impression about this style of razor.

I bought this ($40 at a local drugstore) to replace an old Braun 5005 whose screen had worn through (again). It's quieter and lighter than the 5005, which makes for a more pleasant shaving experience. There was no problem getting a close shave, even though I have a heavy beard. The shaver runs on internal (non-replaceable) batteries which, according to the manual, take 8 hours to charge after they've been broken in. The batteries must be charged for the shaver to work; it won't run while charging. A charge is supposed to last for about 20 minutes. Surprisingly, they recommend cleaning the shaver under hot running water while it's turned on (although unplugged from the wall adapter). Have to see how well that works. The shaver comes with a small bottle of lubricating oil, a brush, and an instruction booklet. Made in China; construction quality appears satisfactory. There's also a similar Model 140 that lacks the sideburn trimmer.
