Is the Series 9 PRO+ worth it over the standard Series 9?

The PRO+ adds the Pro Lift Blade and an upgraded trimmer, which help with flat-lying hair and longer growth. If you already get a close shave from a standard Series 9, the gain is modest.

How does it compare with Philips rotary shavers?

Foil heads like this one tend to suit men who shave daily and want a close, straight-line pass. Rotary shavers follow the contours better on the neck and jaw but can pull more on sensitive skin.

Can I use it in the shower with shaving gel?

Yes. It is fully waterproof, so you can shave wet with foam or gel, or dry. Rinse the head under running water afterward.

How long does the battery last and how fast does it charge?

A full charge gives about 60 minutes of shaving. A 5-minute quick charge provides enough for one shave.

Does it include a beard trimmer?

Yes. A Precision Pro Trimmer slides out from the back for sideburns, mustache and longer hairs. It is a trimmer, not a full beard-shaping tool.

How often should I replace the shaving head?

Braun recommends replacing the head about every 18 months, or sooner if the shave starts pulling. Fresh heads keep the close shave and skin comfort.
