New 'improved' design a disappointment, 28 May 2014

Don't you just hate it when companies bring out a new improved version of their product that is worse than the original? Well that's exactly what Braun have done with this. The cutter block has a completely new blade concept - instead of a row of blades pointing upwards, they are all at right angles now (they are like a T section with the blades themselves forming the top of the T, pointing sideways rather than upwards). No doubt this gives a slightly more comfortable shave (albeit due to being a less close shave), and probably pleases the health and safety police as it's harder for idiots to cut themselves when replacing a cutter block, but it sadly now doesn't give anything like as close a shave. I can shave as close as possible with this block in, put my 3 year old "blunt" cutter block back in, go back over my face and hear it taking more stubble off and clearly feel the difference afterwards too.

When your new design blades are worse than a blunt 3 year old...

Make your old shaver cut like new!, 21 Nov. 2013

I am amazed that Braun still make replacement parts for my old electric shaver. It has worked 365 days a year (or perhaps a bit fewer!) giving me a close shave and trimming whiskers. To think that I can buy these parts many years later, that they fit perfectly shows, to my mind, a well designed product and exacting quality control.I recommend this product.
