Braun Series 9 Shaver: Your questions answered! 

Their replacement heads suck. I got 3 in a row that broke within 3 months. I even waited a year and a half before buying the third hoping they would have fixed the problem.

@@SketchesofChina Aren’t the replaces the same that come with the shaver? I was thinking on making a huge investment on this but your comment is throwing me of.

I have always had Norelco shavers, and these are more expensive. I don’t regret spending the extra money though. It is well worth it, and the cleaning station makes all the difference in the world.

Thanks for the feedback . Appreciate it

Hey Man! That's great feedback. I definitely won't be filling them with water again after my last experience. LOL. I'll look at just getting the solution refill. That's solid advice. Thank you.

Where yup buy the large bottles for the refill cleaner

Any links to appropriate refill water

@@angelf9800 We bought it off of Amazon.

@@braingasim do you have a link or do you the name of it

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it was helpful

Thanks! Honestly you don’t really need the cleaning station. it’s cheaper without it

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion. Once i run out of the store bought one, i'll see if I can google a similar recipe for DIY.

Alcohol nor lemon extract lubricates though. You need an oil.

My advice is just buy one

Hi there, I haven't. However, if you have the same cleaning station as I do, the solution has oil in it to lubricate the shaver at the same time.

Yes you can. No issues there. However, your armpit hair has to be short for the blade to catch.

Thanks for the feedback. No skin irritation back of neck when shaving head. However, I found that the back of my neck hairs were too fine for the razor and didn't do a good job. So I would use regular shaving cream and a blade to get the back neck hairs.

@@TheWongReviewer awesome 🤩

Hey there. Thanks for the feedback. You're right, i never considered the evaporation factor of the fluid. I wonder if the "timer" on the charging base the prompts you to change out the solution is based on "# of uses" or evaporation factor?

Everyday is really excessive. I MIGHT use it once a week. I take it out of the station and put the cap back on. I usually get about 4 months use out of 1 unit before I need to change it. Of course, if money is no object then by all means use it as much as you want.

Yep, I have a cleaning station for my 7 Series Braun. I clean after every shave. I simply knock the excess hairs out and then use the station to clean and lubricate. I’ve found that using the unit does not really compromise the life of the solution that much. Replacements aren’t that expensive relatively speaking - besides you’ve bought a premium razor so it might as well be used in a premium way.

​@@johnantonioni9654 i have Braun S9 Pro and i use the cleaning once a week 😊

Cleaning it only once a month is far too infrequent. It should be cleaned every time it needs to be charged which is once a week in my case.

Great. Thanks for the feedback and glad you like it!

@@TheWongReviewer ?!?!?

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm going to check out my experience to see if I run into the same issue. I wonder it's a default setting where the indicator just tells you to clean it. I'm on the road and don't have the base with me, however, I'll provide an update when I get home.

Same on my end. It's still wet after the cleaning cycle. I usually shave at night before bed and run the cleaning cycle. It's dry by my next use.

@@meancheeto Good to know, thank you! I find this odd since then what does the drying supposedly done by the cleaning unit even do?

Mine is wet too but the Panasonic cleaning station totally dries a panasonic shaver , but Bruan just doesn't care. It would be great if it works , and it would also be great if Bruan allowed us to simply turn on the drying cleaning mode, so that those of us who use it once a week and use the tap in between could just dry clean only.I hate the scent of the cleaning solution, especially in the tash area, as it enters my nose the smell more . I suppose I could make my own solution and refill the cartridge .

HI there. What you're referring to is not the power switch. It's the switch to lock the shaving head to be in one place or to allow it to bend and contour to your face as you shave. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the feedback!

@@TheWongReviewer I bought one. I took your advice and the advice of the people commenting. I appreciate the platform you created where I can learn from you and other people. So thanks again for taking the time to do this!

@@meboyotube How do you find it? as a student I want to invest in a very good shaver but I can only make the investment once. I know that is built to last 7 years minimum so is cheaper in the long term than gillette cartridges, (I did the maths as an engineering student) so I want to make the investment but getting the best of the best available now.

Hi there. No, just the shaver head

Hi there. Yeah you can. Take the brush it comes to clean out the cartridge and the razer. Then rinse the cartridge under hot water.

Hi there. Yes, it will pull on the beard hairs if it's long after 7 days growth. That's the longest I have gone without shaving and I find it pulls

Hi there. Probably. If I can use it to shave my head, you can probably use it for body hair.

Hi there. I actually don't use any appliance oil on the shaver as maintenance. I never occurred me to lubricate the individual rotating blades. I just ordered replacement heads since I started using it. I'll have to research this some more

If you don't have a cleaning station, you'll need to oil them but if you do have cleaning station the oil is already in the cleaning station's solution. However, If you use cleaning station solutions once a week, dry shave, and only rinse under the tap with water after shaving and nothing else, you can get away with oiling it every two days, but if you wet shave with foam, you will need to oil it every time you finish because foam dries the blade.If you clean it with soap, in the tap it will need to be oiled every time afterwords too Oil is essential because it extends the life of the blade, keeps it cutting smoothly, and prevents it from overheating and Oiling can also reduce skin irritation .Any type of hair clippers oil will do, such as whals hair clippers oil or bruan oil, but never use wd40 or olive oil, which clogs and destroys the shaver. I say this because I've seen some idiots say they use WD40 or olive oil and that is the worst thing someone can do.

Hi there, you don't even need to use the air blower, i currently use the provided cleaning brush to clean out the cartridge. As someone mentioned, once you open the liquid, the alcohol will evaporate, so you might as well use it.

I rinse my cutting head out under hot running water every time I use it & let it air dry after gently bouncing it on a dry hand towel. I only use the cleaning station when it needs to be recharged, which is typically every 5 weeks or so. After charging it in the cleaning station I replace the cap on the tank to help seal it and reduce the evaporation of the solution. This way I can normally get 6 months out of each Clean & Renew cartridge. I do occasionally use compressed air to clean the head & razor also. I just added a new Series 9 Pro head (94M) to my wish list on Amazon after reading reviews about how much better it shaves than with the original 92S head. The original head lasted about 15-16 months and my Braun is a little over 2 years old so it will soon be time to replace the head again.

can't you charge it with the cable of the station, direct in the shaver?@@jonhansen4745

For me, it’s close enough that if I run my hands over my face it feels smooth. However, if you look in the mirror, it looks like I still have some stubble.

Hi there. I honestly don't know. I just leave it overnight for it to do the cleaning on the base. it's dry when I use it in the morning.

@@TheWongReviewer I clean mine every 3 days and it was in the middle of drying when it turned off on its own can that break it whenever that happens my razor was still wet

@@jaydoubleu3419 For some strange reason, despite the fan being turned on, this does not dry our shavers for myself or many others.comes out wet

@@trojanx7723 YOU HAVE TO WAIT OVERNIGHT FOR IT TO DRY

@jaydoubleu3419 what I do is when I cleaned it in the station I don't leave if in the station I take blade off and leave it to dry on a table .dries in a few hours but bruan doesn't care its cleaning station don't dry .while panasonic cleaning station actually dries a shaver.

Thanks for the feedback. People don’t realize how long it takes to put up a youtube video and I was completely devastated when i realized the lav mic wasn’t plugged in. I posted it as is and i’m more careful in future videos. Thanks for watching though.

Hi there. that's strange. Try cleaning the charging contacts on both the razer and on the charging base to see if that helps.

@@TheWongReviewer i had to take my razor back and exchange it for a new one and i discovered that the one got back is not meant for the self cleaning thats when i wrote to you before i discovered that info but thank you anyways

Hey man don't you think that braun tell you in the instructions to clean the shaver every day and only use their cleaning solution is so they make more money from telling users to do this and the cleaning solution will not extend the life of the foil head that's dependent on how often you shave,

@@nickevans3190 I get what you mean, but for me it’s more peace of mind knowing I’m using what the manufacturer made for the intended machine. 6 cartridges for £25 Uk. Seems a pretty good price for not using a home made solution or DIY and I could damage the machine

@@Mr---mr4ll facts

I read that some people don’t throw away the cap and use the cap in between cleanings to prevent evaporation.

whoot it stays stuck? you can not use it anymore then?

Have same problem and it fell out Poor power button manufacturing

Hey there ! Great suggestion to use a vacuum to remove the hair. The little brush it comes with doesn't really do the job.

Yup. I messed up while recording. It happens. I apologize for the inconvenience bro

Thanks for the comments. I'm starting using the Braun and I've actually stopped using the cleaning station. As long as I've clean it weekly, it seems to still work.

I paid for mine on sale. I don't think I would pay full price at $300. However, value of it's worth is up to each person.
