A few month ago, I wrote a post about manual and electric shavers. I've made my decision and bought a Braun 799cc. This is a so-called wet&dry shaver!
If you have ever used a Braun Series 7 shaver, then you can
gauge what you should be expecting from the new Braun 799cc model. Except that
you get a little more, both a pleasant surprise and more value for your money.
When my new Braun 799cc shaver came in, I was expecting all that Series 7 had
to offer but at a much more state of the art level and I was not disappointed.
Let me begin with the design, rather the look of this
gadget. The Braun 799cc shaver is by all means a gadget and not just any random
shaver. The construction is sleek; it looks classy and yet has all the cool
buttons which bring in a horde of functionality. But that is not what will
surprise you since you would expect those at the bucks you are shelling out.
What will impress you right at the start is the luxury of a
dry as well as a wet shave. If you ask Braun fans, then you would know that
most of them have been looking for a dry and wet shaver for some time now. The
Braun 790cc was a great shaver but it still lacked the wet shaving feature.
Many men prefer the soft feel and the lustrous shave that one gets with some
gel or foam. That was not a possibility with erstwhile Braun shavers and many
men preferred to go with other brands for the very same reason. But the finesse
that Braun shavers come with is seldom matched. The smoothness of shaving, the
ease of cleaning, the comfort and the impeccable efficiency of Braun 799cc
shaver doesn’t come as a surprise but the wet shaving feature certainly is a
feather on the cap.
There are many other reasons to like my new Braun 799cc
shaver. It has a very small head, considerably smaller than its competition and
that its preceding models which allow greater manoeuvrability and you can
actually see where you are shaving since the place is not concealed by the
large heads as is the case with most shavers. The cleaning system of the Braun
799cc shaver is extremely useful. Not only is the shaver cleaned well but it is
also sanitized with alcohol instead of soap or water based substances that are
found in cleansers or cleaning systems of other shavers. It is owing to this
cleaning feature that the Braun 799cc has a much more pleasant smell. There is
an automatic cleaning function as well which is quite short. Ditto for the
charging time. The cartridge in the Braun 799cc too lasts long than shavers in
similar price range. This makes the device more cost effective in the long run.
In a nutshell, my new Braun 799cc shaver is a great
investment. It is comfortably portable and quite sturdy to resist wear and tear
as well as falls. It is great value for money and certainly one of the best to
roll out from the Braun stable.
