Series 8 Electric Razor for Men, with 4+1 Shaving Elements & Precision Long Hair Trimmer, Close & Gentle Even on Dense Beards, Wet & Dry Electric Razor with 60min Runtime, 8517s Galvano Silver

So far this is the best foil shaver since my old series 7 i had for over 8 years using the old 70s heads that are hard to find. Its battery finally quit and i got a series 6 and then 7 of the newer style they have now. Both of those were major downgrades. This series 8 shaves as good, or better than that old series 7 and is rubberized on the back which makes grip better than the old 7. I like the included charging stand. If you're trying to decide between thos and current series 7 offerings the 7 is less powerful and the 360 head makes it cut weird and horribly on my neck and around my ears, whereas the 8 here hits both in a few glides on each side to ensure coverage. I compared both with new heads and the 8 wins hands down. Its louder than the 7, but not by enough to matter. And I've now had this a month, literally charged it the night after i got it and haven't needed to since, and i shave daily, this shaver is so effective and efficient that i literally get done in a few passes over my face, it barely uses any battery per shave. 1 month and 5 days from daye of receiving abd intial cgarging at my house and it finally needed another charge. That's awesome, if i can go about a month on each charge cycle this razor will last a long time. Its still cutting really well and shaving great as well. Still highly recommending this line over brauns current series 5/6/7 offerings. You get far better performance and functionality, better battery life and they feel built better. I had a 7075cc i upgraded from, the 360 swivel head is just a useless gimmick that, in my opinion actually made its performance worse than old series 7 i had that finally bit the dust. Plus the new series 5/6/7 heads are thin and clog with hairs very quickly, don't wash easily and aren't easily snapped on and off compared to the series 8. If you're trying to decide on spending a bit more, get the 8 and spend more its worth it. Better shave, extremely longer battery life, better features on the shaver, and just overall a far better bang for the money. Only thing is the 83m heads these use are $60ish each to buy replacements for, but i can live with that for the performance they provide me.

I have tried other electric razors in the past and found them either uncomfortable or not very good shavers. The Braun is smooth on my face and leaves my skin comfortable and well shaved. The noise level is quite acceptable. The charging base and cleaner are large but do a good job of maintaining the shaver in clean condition and the battery always charged

I have this and now a series 5. I love the self cleaning dock! The shave is close! I'm in the military so I need to shave every day. It does seem to struggle with some of my neck but I have issues with normal razors there as well. For me this shaves like I used a real razor 3 hours earlier. Does have a nice carring case for travel as well. Ive used other electric razors and this seems to be my favorite, I hope the blades last a while!

I am comparing this new shaver to the counterpart from several years ago. The shave is a 5, very smooth. While the side burn trimmer has improved, it still falls short for cutting hairs cleanly. That's only a 3. The new shaver is WAY noiseier than the previous model. It's very noticable as you near the ears.

pretty good. better shave than series 7 360flex, which was my previous one. somehow also quieter and vibrates less harshly than series 7, though that could have been entirely due to me comparing a 22 month old cartridge on series 7 vs brand new one on series 8. Changing blades is also easier than on series 5-7 since you have a pop out button and no need to pry it off. Cleaning station is actually useful and not a gimmick. Another unspoken benefit of cleaning station is that plugging it in is very intuitive vs regular charing stand where you have to perfectly aim into the hole, often times with multiple attempts + since its upside down, water goes down to the blade instead of the handle and charging port, leaving them unstained. I suggest to buy these and other braun shavers only on discounts, which they frequently go on, I got this one with cleaning station for $230, for example.

Gives a good shave. I have owned Braun shavers since 2008, Series 5-7-8-9. I liked the Series 7 best, Series 9 pro the least. This is a good shaver. The cleaning ,& charging station is a good feature, the pop up trimmer is like, I have only two concerns. 1) the replacement foils are expensive to replace, & 2) the power button.My Series pro 9, power button detached from the shaver, just after the 2yr warranty expired.Some costumers had this happen, some didn't. This new Series 8 8567cc power button feels a little similar.Hope iam wrong. I strongly recommend that you extend your warranty from 2 to 7 years ASAP within the first 90 days of ownership. It's free & it offeres the extra peace of mine.Enjoy your purchase.

I've used Braun electric razors for 30+ years. On the rare instance that I'd have to purchase a completely new razor from Braun, it was because the foil screen was no longer sold for the model I had. However, something has changed in construction, quality and servicing of their products. I purchased this Series 8 approximately 6 months ago. A couple of weeks ago the entire razor became incredibly loud. I reached out to the Braun Service Center. They kindly accepted my razor for servicing. After a couple of weeks, it was sent back to me in no better shape. The note included with the returned shaver said that the PC board, drive unit and battery had all been replaced. Their note also said that that foil screen "is not original Braun" (it's the foil that was included with the razor when I purchased it and has 'Braun' imprinted on the head). The "repair" as well as the notes included seem shockingly odd considering the razor is no better than when I sent it in. So there you go....materials of the product are no good, the quality is no longer there, and the servicing is....well, did they do anything or pay attention to the problem? Doesn't seem like it. So long, Braun, sad to see you go.

Bought this shaver to replace my old series 5. This shaver is lighter & does a better job than my old Braun. I have been using an electric since the mid '70s, since I went into the armed forces (you had to shave every day). My face couldn't take a Trac II everyday so I went to a foil shaver (on sale in the PX). I tried Norelco, but that shaver irritates my face after a while. Have always had Braun, the heads always gave me a clean shave, guys were surprised of the close shave I got from my Brauns. Electric shavers didn't have a close shave reputation back then. I'm 71 & this is my 3rd one. I think the Braun shaver is getting better. I liked the plastic shell of the old shaver model better, took a beating, protected the shaver in travel. Have to wait & see with this new style travel case. Nowhere to carry a cleaning brush. The shaver is quiet compared compared to my old shaver. Braun's battery life & recharging life has always been very good. I've always found Braun comfortable to hold in various ways when shaving. Blades last me a year, sometimes more. Price is on par with others make of shavers. I've had 3 in just over 25 years.

Ordered for a friend who has been using this for a couple of months. He finds it works well, has a strong recharge, and is easy to use on the contours of the face. Perfect!

Great shaver. Does a nice job and quick. I received it sooner than expected.

Brain shavers are very good, charge lasts long time

Pour l'instant, j'en suis bien satisfait. Coupe vraiment très bien. Je ne m'étais pas rasé entre le moment de l'achat et celui de la réception et le résultat de la première utilisation a été très intéressant. Dommage que la lame de remplacement soit si dispendieuse...

Super satisfait
