- Is the Braun Series 9 9485cc worth it over the Series 8?
- It adds a fifth cutting element and a sonic head, so it shaves faster and closer on dense or flat-lying hair. The Series 8 is lighter and cheaper to run, so choose it if weight matters more than the closest cut.
- How does it compare with Philips rotary shavers?
- Foil shavers like this one suit straight strokes and sensitive skin, while Philips rotaries follow curves and suit longer stubble. The Braun is heavier and louder but generally cuts closer on the neck.
- Can I use it in the shower?
- Yes. It is fully waterproof and rated for wet or dry use, with or without shaving foam or gel.
- How long does the battery last on a charge?
- Braun rates it at about 60 minutes of cordless shaving, roughly a week of daily shaves. A 5-minute quick charge gives enough power for one shave.
- What is in the box?
- The shaver, a charging and cleaning station, a cleaning cartridge, a cleaning brush and a travel case. A supply cord is included for corded use.
- Do I have to use the cleaning station?
- No. You can rinse the head under water and brush it, but the station cleans, lubricates and dries it more thoroughly and keeps the blades in better condition.
- Where is the Braun Series 9 9485cc cheapest?
- At Tiny Lux, for $369.34, as of our latest check.
