BraunSeries 6 6040cs Electric Shaver with Charging Stand, Precision Trimmer, Wet & Dry, Rechargeable, Cordless Foil Shaver, Blue

I love this razor!! I came from a lower end Braun, and I am rather amazed. I have sensitive skin, and electric shaving has been hat and mostly miss. This Braun Series 6 shaves gently, cleanly, and very close! I am also impressed with how quiet it is. It makes shaving a joy, rather than something to dread. Well worth it. The design of the head ensures gentle shaving, even over my jawline! The size and design fit perfectly in the hand. I cannot say enough about this razor!

I’ve been using Braun shavers for 30+ years, and bought this to replace my broken Series 7. After a week with the Series 6, I can recommend it. Best features:1. Very light and compact. While the Series 7 has the built in trimmer for sideburns, you probably don’t use it everyday and it contributes to the shaver being heavy and less easily held. The 6 has a more slender, contoured and grippable design that makes it easier to handle.2. Cleaning is easier. I should mention that I don’t use the cleaning/charging stand and fluid. Too much clutter and hassle when i travel. The 6 has a foil/cutting block that snap off and allow the cuttings to fall out. You can then brush out the top of the shaver body. The 7 could never be cleaned like this — you really need the fluid and stand. It’s too soon to make any predictions, but I suspect the 6 will perform better longer due to relative ease of cleaning.3. Battery life seems good, and the three-LED indicator is accurate and easy to see.4. It’s quieter than the 7. Not silent, but the 7 drowned out conversation or the morning news. Shavers always make noise, but the 6 is less disruptive and annoying. The 7 was quiet compared to a chainsaw.5. Good looking unit. I know, who cares, but given that you’re going to use this every day it’s nice to grab something cool and sturdy.6. Great shave, no irritation. I put this last because obviously the blades are new and it is probably at peak cutting power now. The head flexes well, though, and it cleans up the jawline and neck well.EDIT June 29, 2022: Still recommend this. Battery life is good. I have noticed a decline in how well it shaves, so probably will replace the blades after ~7 months. It's still a close shave, but requires multiple passes on the sideburn area. This about normal, in my experience, with Braun. Given that replacement heads are currently available for $32.00, it's reasonable.

The media could not be loaded. So far so good! I have used it several times and am definitely liking this shaver. It's a high-quality unit at a reasonable "mid" price point that gives me a close, comfortable shave. Rating it 4 stars, though it deserves 4.5 (which isn't an option currently for these reviews), because it would've been more convenient if they'd given it a USB-C type plug rather than a proprietary plug connector. That means you'll need to bring along its special charging cord if you're bringing the shaver on a longer trip, for example, where you might need to recharge. Otherwise, just a few minor niggles with it. Including an extended video here to show this electric shaver's (really very good) performance.

great Product!!

I have incredibly sensitive, dry skin that’s prone to bumps and ingrown hairs on my legs. Straight razors destroy my skin. I’ve tried electric razors made for women and they suck. I decided to give this one a go and it works great. It exfoliates and cuts pretty close. If I use a BHA body cream before using it, my legs will come out being almost as smooth as if I used a straight razor (I’ve noticed the smoothness doesn’t last as long though). The shape of the foil razor works really well for the curves and shapes of my legs. I have to recharge the battery every 2-3 times I use it, which isn’t terrible considering it takes longer to shave legs vs a face. Great product, I recommend for anyone with sensitive skin!

I've owned Braun shavers before and have always been happy with them. This one I regret buying. It seems to take many more passes to get satisfactory results than my former Brauns. Also, it is inconvenient to have to pull out the regular blade screen and put in the sideburn trimmer. The sideburn trimmer should be built-in so you can just pope it out when needed (not only for sideburns but for other spots that the regular blades can't reach,and the back of the neck). But the real flaw of the sideburn trimmer is it does a really poor job -- even many passes aren't enough. Also, It's a nuisance to fit the razor, sideburn trimmer, and cleaning brush into the travel case.What on earth is the deal? I used to be able to buy a reasonably priced Braun shaver and get a good product. The strategy seems to be to deliberately make their less expensive products less capable so that customers will feel obligated to buy more expensive models.My only gripe with my last two Brauns is that the internal recharagble battery wasn't removable/replacable. That meant that when the rechargeable batteries no longer I had to buy a new shaver. Again, this seems to have been a design choice by Braun to sell more shavers.
