This electric razor has a head that oscillates from side to side at high speed and pivots to adjust to the face's contours. In addition, the razor offers a three-stage cutting system and delivers a smooth shave either with or without a cord. The razor has a pop-up trimmer for mustache and sideburns and works worldwide on 110- to 240-volt systems. It recharges fully in one hour for 60 minutes of shaving time or charges in three minutes for a quick shave. The three-stage cutting system consists of a cutting block between two foils, with each unit performing individually as the razor runs across the face. For difficult shaving areas, such as under the nose, the pivoting head locks into position. The shaver carries a 30-day, full-refund guarantee and a two-year warranty against defects (foil and cutter block excluded). --Fred Brack

I've been using the 6520 since it was a new model, probably 10 years ago. It shaves close, is easy to use, is easy to keep clean, and works both with the cord and without (some other rechargables won't work with the cord plugged in).
This last point is important because there is no such thing as a rechargable shaver battery that stays "like new" forever. After a couple of years, they start holding their charge for less and less time, until ultimately after several years you pretty much have to recharge them every day. At that point, you can just keep the thing plugged in all the time (when it's plugged in, it performs as if it has a full charge), OR you can replace the motor (which is expensive), OR you can just order a new one (That's what I've done. Refurbished models can be found for less than the cost of a replacement screen and cutter.)

The 6520 actually shaves closer than the new self cleaning shaver the 7680. However I have had reliability problems with both of them. My 7680 stopped recharging after a month or so, so I bought a 6520 instead. I have now had an incredible three in a row of these all stop recharging after a month or so. I have spoken to Braun who refuse to do anything other than have them repaired under their warranty programme....It is a great product, if it works.

This is my first electric shaver and I'm generally satisfied with it. It has 3 "on" settings. The first setting is for general shaving...the head pivots. The second locks the head at an angle so that it is easier to shave right above the upper lip and other places where you don't want the shaver head to pivot. The third setting is for trimming sideburns. I have trouble shaving right along and underneath the jawbone for some reason. The quick charge is a nice feature...you can quickly charge up the shaver for a 5 minute shave. It takes about an hour or so to charge up fully. One negative comment is that the shaver is a bit noisy.

First, I really appreciate all the helpful reviews here that recommended taking the step up to the 6000 series for just a bit more money. This is really a nice shaver. Shaves quickly, the charge lasts forever, easy to clean, and so easy on the face that I never dread shaving anymore. Is it as close as a blade? No, definitely not. I'm not even sure it is as close as my old rotary, but I know that my face definitely prefers it to the blade or the rotary, and the shaver is so good I really don't mind doing a touch-up shave if I have to go back out in the evening.

Faced with the fact that i could no longer find replacement foils for my OLD Braun I began the search for a new shaver. I was immediately unimpressed with the design of the long hair trimmer on the new XP models so prevalent in stores, and the reviews confirmed the flip-out design was awkward to use. If you let your beard grow for a few days over the weekend or when you go camping, you need a good long (relative to 2 day stubble) hair trimmer. The trimmer on the 6520 is activated by pressing the face panel switch all the way up--the foil head automatically pivots out of the way. The blades stand pependicular to the length of the shaver at the end of the extension, so you get a very solid 90 angle that makes it very easy to take off the long beard growth and neck hair. (Anyone claiming difficulty with this feature should not be using an electic device!)
Though this model was originally released a couple years ago, the replacement parts are the same as the current XPs, so I'm assured of finding them when needed.
The occilation of the 6520 head is only 100 cycles slower (7700 vs 7800) per min. as the $...+ model, and the shave is fine and smooth. Charge time is fast and it keeps on going. I had used my old Braun for the past year on the cord since the battery konked, and the 6520 will work on the cord as well--don't underestimate this nice feature. The 6520 also has a travel lock switch that keeps the shaver from activating in the jumbling of your travel bag.
Consumer Report (Nov. '02) rated this model just under the $... Braun, and you can pick it up here at half the stated price!
One tip: keep your old, zippered Braun shave case. The 6520 comes with an open top carrying case with 2 louzy velcro tabs--nothing will stay in that.
THIS IS BUY FAR A FANTASTIC VALUE and J&R came through Nicely!
