Wont shave whiskers close, but removed live skin! Noisy when cleaning, expensive cleaner refills. Cleaner base takes up too much space.

I'd read numerous reviews touting the merits of the Braun, but I found it to be inferior to my old Norelco in many ways: 1. The quality of the shave is poor. It takes... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~224184274564 Fri, 24 Mar 2006 00:58:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_224184274564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223684955780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author smbrown - Upgrading from a Braun 4005 electric shaver after replacement parts became hard to find; the 4005 did not do a good job of cutting long hairs when skipping a day or two of shaving. The 8585 does seem to cut faster and the cutter head has a shearing blade... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223684955780 Sun, 19 Mar 2006 02:10:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223684955780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_221414133380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tbc111 - I just received my 8595 the other day. The shaver itself does have a nice feeling, substantial, weight to it. I will not go into details about how the shaver operates since this has been thoroughly covered by other reviewers. I'll just hit the high... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~221414133380 Tue, 21 Feb 2006 05:06:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_221414133380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_220517207684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author poneyby - I received this as a Christmas present, before this I was using a rotary shaver, I must say this is the nicest shaver I have ever used. I hated shaving because I could never get a nice clean smooth shave. With this I don't have any stubble and my face... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~220517207684 Sun, 12 Feb 2006 02:55:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_220517207684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_219453230724?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author roadranger73 - Shaver was decent but the cleaner refills were expensive as was the shaver. Not as close as regular blade shaver and those refills are getting very over priced. Plastic latch that held shaver down to charge broke after 7 months but since it was a gift... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~219453230724 Wed, 1 Feb 2006 00:45:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_219453230724?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_218483625604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sam2075 - I was starting to get ingrown hair around on my neck and moustache area and I needed to do something about it because it was happening all the time from shaving with my razor.

I didn't want to go back to the blade, as I always found the time and fuss of using shaving gel + the risk of nicks to be more than I want to risk when... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~218407472772 Sat, 21 Jan 2006 00:46:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_218407472772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_217654857348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author volpster31 - THIS PURCHASE WAS MY FIRST DELVE INTO THE ELECTRIC SHAVER EXPERIENCE & I THINK I MADE A GOOD CHOICE.I HAVE VERY TOUGH FACIAL HAIR & THIS RAZOR GAVE A VERY CLOSE SHAVE & HAD THE POWER TO RUN RIGHT THROUGH MY 3 DAY OLD BEARD.THE BRAUN 8585 IS LOADED WITH... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~217654857348 Fri, 13 Jan 2006 22:32:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_217654857348?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_214921023108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dfbertsch - After over 50 years as a blade shaver, I thought that I would try this old gray beard out on an electric. I had used Norelco a few times over the years for emergencies and was familiar with their product so I purchased one and tried it out for 3 weeks... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~214921023108 Thu, 22 Dec 2005 09:12:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_214921023108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_213802978948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adhack - First off, I do not copy technical specs and information directly from the manufacturers web-site so if you're looking for that info, best go to the Braun web-site.

The user manual said that it would take a few shaves before my face/stubble would get use to the 8585. Not the case here! The 8585 was very comfortable... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196446424708 Fri, 16 Sep 2005 23:34:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196446424708?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_186105368196?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gump1119 - This is my first electric shaver. I've always used conventional razors (Gillette Sensor and then Mach 3.) I decided to buy an electric shaver because I got sick of shaving everyday and having the razor tear up my face with nasty razor burn.

I do not like the long process of applying shaving cream, shaving, rinsing, and then having to do so again the next day. And the next. And the next.
