The Braun Series 7 790cc Shaver - Why I Chose This Electric Shaver Over Its Competitors

Any man who's in the market for a dry shaver is going to want to know a few key things, those being: 1. How close does the shaver shave? 2. Is the shaver kind to my skin? and 3. How does it compare to other shavers in terms of price and quality? This article will look at how the Braun Series 7 790cc Pulsonic Shaver shapes up on each of these points.

The Braun Series 7 790cc shaver uses pulsonic technology which sends or "pulses" over 10,000 micro-vibrations per minute through the shaver head to gently stimulate the skin. This causes your skin to minutely ripple with the resultant effect being that more of your facial hair is captured and shaved with every stroke. It also incorporates a sensitive flexing head, which follows the contours of your face with twice the pivoting angle of other Braun shavers. Hard-to-reach areas are more easily accessed using touch sensitive foils that respond to the slightest change in skin surface. The end result of all this whiz-bang technology? The closest shave possible with an electric shaver.

Facial skin that is raw, red or pimply is frankly a bad look, yet that it is exactly look that a lot of guys sport due to using inferior shaving implements. The Braun Series 7 790cc shaver makes use of the internationally acclaimed Gillette blade technology - a technology so unique and effective that it is patented. The effectiveness of the blade used by the Braun 790cc shaver is proved in its single stroke action that leaves the skin feeling incredibly smooth. You experience no pauses or obstacles during each shaving stroke and this smooth action results in your skin remaining unbroken and rash free.

In conducting my own research, I compared the Braun 790cc with both the Phillips and Remington Electric shavers.

The Phillips shaver uses a rotary blade as opposed to the foil blade used by the Braun. The common consensus from what I could gather was that men who didn't have to shave regularly preferred to use a rotary blade. The quietness of the Phillips shaver seemed to be one of the standout features that was remarked upon by all its users, however opinion was very mixed when it came to how close a shave you could get from the Phillips shaver.

I was tempted by the Remington shaver as it is certainly cheaper than the Braun shaver but it is actually a relatively noisy shaver and it doesn't have a base for cleansing. It has pop up trimmer with three positions but a lot of user feedback that I came across found this feature to be far too cumbersome.

After weighing everything up I ended up going with the Braun Series 7 790cc shaver. My skin continues to remain smooth and healthy, and the shaver is a cinch to use and clean.
