Not too bad!, 21 Jan. 2010

I like to shape my stubble...i never fully shave my whole face, so i was looking for something that would shave the bits i do shave (cheeks and neck), shape the bits i keep (along my jaw) and trim what's left (goatee). I wanted something that would do it quickly and easily, and i thought this product looked good. after reading alot of reviews about it i had mixed thoughts, some were saying it was good and some were saying it was terrible, so i decided to give it the benefit of the doubt!

I'm afraid to say the bad reviews were kinda right! With regards to shaving it does miss the odd hair...it did my cheeks well, but can't get a good shave on my neck! I've still to try it wet so i haven't given up hope!

However, it's great for shaping! the 2 shapers are really easy to use and do a neat job!

The trimming is good too...with easy to use attachments and a range of lengths! One problem is that it's a bit awkward trimming above ur top lip because the attachment is so big...

Good value for money, 20 Oct. 2009

I mainly opted for this shaver because it combined the shaver & beard trimmer functions. I have quite a strong beard growth so I experienced the same problems I'd had with other foil shavers - i.e. some missed hairs, especially on my neck. Perhaps a rotary rather than a foil shaver might have been a better choice for me. The trimmer is excellent though. I have found a compromise by using the shaver to keep things in check during the week and shaving with a blade at weekends. This saves me time during the week and, given the price of replacement blades for Gillettes, this razor will pay for itself fairly quickly.

Great styler, not a high performance shaver., 14 Dec. 2010

I have to say, when it comes to personal care items you can read all the reviews you want but in the end it all comes to getting the product and trying it. I have previously owned a Norelco rotary shaver which did a decent job at shaving but didn't have a trimmer (instead it had a small manual pump to add gel to your face) and now its battery is almost dead, so I decided to try a Braun and see for myself which type of shaver worked best for me (that is the only fact you will get from reviews, it doesn't depend on the brand or type, it depends on you, your face, your skin, your beard). The feature that moved me towards the cruzer instead of one of the other, more shave-oriented models from Braun, was that I also need a fair amount of body hair grooming, and I wanted an all in one solution. Having said that I will share my impressions and make a few comparisons to the rotary shaver:

As a styler it works great. The combs and accessories are really well designed and do a great...
