With a pivoting head that adjusts to the face's contours and a three-stage cutting system, this inexpensive electric razor 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 35 minutes of shaving time or charges in five 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 shaving difficult areas, such as under the nose, the pivoting head locks into position. The razor, cord, and cleaning brush fit into a leather traveling case. The shaver carries a 30-day, full-refund guarantee and a two-year warranty against defects (foil and cutter block excluded). --Fred Brack

This electric shaver is not perfect or as good as some reviews claim it to be. The braun 6000 series (now obsolete after this product came out) gives a much better shave believe it or not and the foil is shaped better than this one giving an easier shave to the face. Also I didnt like the fact that the braun 7526 has a cradle charger which means it cant be used as a corded shaver if the charge was low. You have to wait for it to recharge again which doesnt take that long but if you are in a rush often to get to work or dont wanna wait around than this can be an annoying problem compared to just plugging one in such as the braun 6000 series razors could be used as cordless or corded and and you can finish up without wasting any more time. As far as the actual shave the 7526 can give you a close shave but I have to go over the same spot several times to get it and this causes more skin irritation. This is not a bad shaver but is not nearly as good as the 6000 series designed brauns. Right now it sits unused for the most part as a backup shaver or emergency shaver in case my braun 6520 fails at some point. I truely believe that Braun made a mistake by making their 6000 series razors obsolete to this one because I and I know many others find the 7526 to be not as good and wouldve liked to see stores still selling the 6000 brauns.

I have always used Norelco rotary shavers. They seem to last and have shaved well. As I grew older, my whiskers have gotten more difficult until my rotary no longer gave me a close shave, even after replacing cutters and heads. I thought it was time to try out a foil shaver. I chose the Braun 5414. Wow, what a close shave! It has two foil heads and one cutter for longer hairs. Since I have owned this for over 4 years, I can report on its durability and longevity. Something you don't see much in reviews.
Its worst characteristic is that the motor tends to run fastest with a fresh charge, then slows through most of the dis-charge cycle, then will quickly die while shaving without warning. I had to replace the cutters and foil once when a little hole wore in the foil after a little over two years. I am now replacing this shaver due to a failing switch. I have owned three Norelcos over a 28 year period and one of them had a switch failure similar to the Braun. It seems the European shavers use a flexable linkage from the switch to the switch operator. This usually jams or breaks prematurely. The location of the pop-out trimmer is not optimized for best usefullness.
Over all, the Braun 5414 proves the superiority of foil over rotary. If they can just fix that switch problem, use batteries where you can just top up the charge and relocate the trimmer. My first shaver where they skimp on a protective case. Seems to be a trend in electric shavers.
As for now, I need to move up a little. I am trying the Panasonic ES8016 with linear motor, wet/dry. Stay tuned and I will report on that one.

After the Remington I had for several years no longer worked, instead of buying a replacement, I decided to try something new and purchased the Braun 5414. I've been using this razor for over two years now and it works far better than my old Remington ever did. My shave is as close to the skin as it can get without cutting and in some places on my face, I think the razor actually cuts below the surface without leaving a nick. Should you chose to begin using this razor, give it about a week to get used too, especially if you've been using a different brand of razor. Also, if you have highly sensitive skin, the Braun 5414 might be too rough for your face. Other than that, I highly recommend it.

Truly a great shaver. Better than many >$100 shavers I've used. The replacement cutter blocks and foils are a little expensive though. Braun recommends you change them every 18 months, but I've found its necessary more often, more like once a year...

I used a Braun shaver for two years. It did a much better job than any Norelco I had used previously. I really enjoyed shaving with Braun. However, the weak spot of this shaver was the battery. It developed a "memory" despite the fact that I periodically discharged it completely in accordance with Braun's instructions. So as time went on, I had to recharge the battery more often. It finally died after two years of use. The battery is not replaceable so when it goes, so does the razor. Additionally, Braun recommends replacing the cutter and foil every 18 months. I did the math and decided the cost was too much, so rather than purchasing another one, I switched back to a regular razor.
