With a pivoting head that oscillates from side to side and large foil holes to capture more hairs, this shaver delivers a smooth shave. When you're done, the shaver stores in a stand that cleans, lubricates, and charges it. The stand has an interactive LCD panel to provide data on charge status and maintenance needs. Operating with or without a cord, the razor has a pop-up trimmer and works worldwide on 110- to 240-volt systems. It recharges in one hour for 50 minutes of shaving time or charges in three minutes for a quick shave. Razor, cord, and cleaning brush fit into a leather traveling case. The Clean & Charge stand offers three options: clean, charge, or both. Cleaning fluid is drawn from a cartridge (included, along with one refill) that lasts for about 30 cleaning cycles and inserts easily into the stand. The shaver carries a two-year warranty against defects (foil and cutter block excluded)

I bought this shaver new in 2001 so as you can see I have had years experience with it and all it's issues. First let me say when I was looking for a electric shaver I looked at the most popular brands and of course the Braun with German engineering was one on the list. I just grew tired of the daily shave creams and cuts and nicks and irritated skin. In my job I have to be clean cut for the most part and daily shaving a electric shaver may fit the bill. So goes the search for the best of the BEST! After much online research the Braun Syncro with the LCD readout and clean and renew feature was at the top for sure. Not many bad reviews and you really had to read into the bad one's to find out what the real issue was. Most often the reviewer did not get the blade closeness. Well to those people I have to say, what do you expect? It is a electric razor afterall and it will not replicate to a tee the effects of a blade. But it does get real close this particular model for sure. So after sifting through the few bad reviews of the uninformed reviewer's that really don't understand electric razors I went out on a limb and bought this model at almost $200 at the time! From the onset it stated from Braun that it may take 3 weeks to train your face for the razor and it's effectiveness. Well that is about right. And once the system was broke in I found that my $200 was well spent. Now I doubt it really add's up cheap quick unless you are using a high end disposable for it would take years to recoup your money but the features of this unit and the fact it cleans itself with the cleaning solution is like living in the world of the Jetson's! I change my cutter block annually and it remains true to this day. I clean my razor in the clean system every 3 days or so. It will tell you on the LCD when it is time for a clean but I like every 3 days. I don't believe this model is around anymore and that is a shame. True German engineering for sure here. I am replacing it with the new model 9595 Pulsonic which was ordered yesterday and will give this model to my dad who is looking for a electric razor........how bout that, a son handing down something to his father than the other way around! A true first and I know he will be as happy as I am with it. My only thing is........will it ever break? I can't say enough of this unit and Braun is truly a work of art.

I have been using it for a long time now, and before using this shaver I used a Norelco 5885 XL. The Norelco was great, but suddenly stopped working. I was looking for a replacement when I came across the Braun and decided to give it a try.
Compared to a regular razor, even those with 2 or 3 blades, the Braun is great. It's fast, easy to use, and provides a close, comfortable shave. For people used to regular razors, this shaver could be rated a 5.
Based on my previous experience with the Norelco, however, I have to be less lenient. The Braun was more expensive, yet the Norelco provided closer shaves in less time. With the Braun I always find some hairs that the shaver missed. It doesn't matter in which direction I shave, the Braun fails to pick some hairs. This happens in different parts of my face, cheeks, neck, etc. When time came to replace the foil I expected some improvement, but none was noticeable. In contrast, replacing the Norelco heads yielded a very noticeable change.
Other negative aspects include the expense of the cleaning cartridges, although I do like the cleaning system.
Also, after a few months of normal use, the Clean and Charge stand stopped making the right "contact" with the shaver, so now I have to press a couple of time to get it to work properly.
Overall, I am happy with my purchase, but I think that it should have been better for the money. At the same time I got this, my brother in law got a Norelco similar to the one I had, but with more options like a skin lubricant dispenser, wet & dry use, etc. He also used to have the 5885 XL, and loved it, yet he was very disappointed with his new Norelco. Maybe we both were spoiled by the 5885 XL.
Even though my Braun works fine, I have decided to look for another shaver. It is good, but not great, especially for the money.

Smooth comfortable shave. Base system keeps the razor charged and clean. Needs cleaning liquid more often than I expected. Needed a new screen after 6 months. After 7 months the top piece of the base no longer stays on the razor, the catch slips. I use a piece of tape to hold it down when charging/cleaning. It's covered by the 2 year warranty but it's a pain to have to send it back after so short a period of time.

I enjoy using the shaver but after a few months it became increasingly hard to get the top part of the charger base to click down onto the shaver and stay. I would have to jiggle it repeatedly.
Now after a year, it wont stay locked at all. So if I want to use the auto cleaning feature, I have to use rubber bands to try and hold it closed. That is a really such a pain that I rarely use it anymore except to trim my moustache.
The shaver itself is probably the best one I have ever used.

I am 18 and originally started out using a razor, but found it time consuming and wasn't pleased with the nicks. So, I went searching for an electric. Of course, being pressed for cash, I opted for a (cheaper)Norelco. Big miskatke. The thing hurt like none other, and besides the awful razor burn, it also tugged and pulled at the hair and my face, often resulting in cuts. Thankfully, I lost it on an Amtrak over the summer, so it gave me a good excuse to go out and buy a new one. I was intrigued by the commercials I saw for the Braun Synchro, so I succumbed to clever advertising and put down (more money) for this thing (should be cheaper now). Worth the money? Every dime! The shave is incredibly smooth. No more tugging! It lacks slightly on longer neck hair, and tends not to cut it, so once a week I usually do a quick one-over with a razor to take care of that problem. I believe this is as close a shave you can get without using a razor. Very smooth. Your girlfriend will dig it. Razor burn is minimal, if even noticed. If you have sesitive skin like mine, the Nivea Aftershave Balm works like a charm. The self-cleaner is very efficent and will complete the clean in about 15 minutes. It is somewhat loud, but not that bad. It should also be noted that the cleaning solution has a lemon scent to it, so often your bathroom has this smell after it cleans. No big deal. It leaves your razor lemon fresh in the morning. The cartriges are kinda expensive, so I found using the cleaner ever other day works just as well and will prolong the life of the solution by a month. This will save you a good deal of money in the long run. The razor has three options, which include a pivoting head, a locked head, and the sideburn trimmer. The trimmer works very well, and the locked position helps in hard to shave places (i.e. upper lip). The foil is delicate, so be careful not to mess around with it to much. I broke one already, and they dont come cheap. However, the delicate foil allows for the close shave, so the trade off is worth it. The battery charge is remarkable, allowing for almost a full month of shave time without recharging. This will help if you travel a lot or just like to shave away from the bathroom without the cord. I would recommend trying to get the 7526 model (minus the LCD screen). Sure, it dosen't look as cool, but you'll save (money) and most of the information it gives you is useless anyway. You also get an attractive carrying case that has room for the shaver, cord, and the brush. In any case, you owe it to yourself to just bite the bullet and buy a nice razor like this one in the first place. Your face will thank you for it, and it's better than starting out at the bottom like me.
