I bought the Philips 9000 Prestige shortly after launch. I ordered directly from Philips, it went missing in transit. They refunded immediately but also sent another. When I told them, they said I could keep it without paying - because I was so honest! Brilliant customer service and brilliant razor, too! Still shaves like new.
It always pays to be honest that was nice of them. A few years ago I went in our local Barclays paid in £100. Was checking my receipt on the way out, she put it down I paid in £500. The woman in front of me paid in £500 so it must have been in her head. I went back and told her I said I was poor but honest.
@@lollollol6873 I get your point. But the poor tellers are just working stiffs and wind up in trouble. A teller made an error in my favor. I came back and returned the money. She was thrilled thankful. We went out on a date and she treated me to dinner because of my honesty. She and I dated for a while and remain friends. She's a spectacular young woman. Sometimes it pays to be honest.

Well, I am a 76 year old man that's owned a few re-chargeable shavers and the last two I owned were Philips made in Holland. The earlier shaver is nearly 20 years ols, and the latest one is now 8 years old. Both work and give me a close shave and neither has broken down .
I also have 2 Philips shavers of similar ages. Amazingly the older one still holds practically a full charge. The newer one now has 9000 Prestige blades which cut very well.
I've had a rechargeable Phillips Norelco shaver for 15 yrs and it still works great! I can grow a full beard so it's a workout for the shaver and like I said it still works great!!
I bought a 9000 series 4 years ago and well here i am looking for a new one. After 2 years the cleaning station broke down and stopped cleaning. Now the shaver itself the battery gets drained within minutes and the trimmer doesn’t work anymore. (All well maintained and cleaned) 1st and last phillips im buying.
How about the Arc 6 vs the Braun Series 9. Not sure if the Arc6 was out at the time of video. Where would you place the Arc 6. Thsnk you and great video.
I bought the Braun Series 9 model you tested. After years of blade shaving, I knew it would take a bit to adjust. I think overall the shaver looks nice and is solid, especially the travel case with built in charger, very slick. What it lacked for me is any instructions, at all, hence why I'm here. I have a light beard, so I am every other day at most. While pleasant to use, the Braun leaves a patch along and under the jawline that it just can't seem to get at. After a month of use, I just saw another video showing me that a tab needs to be lifted for the cleaning solution. Ha Ha.
still can use? mine auto lock problem the most issues braun series 9 , good shaving but expensive price with worst quality ever, before i use panasonic arc 3 is most powerefull but head replacement is not worth for half price a device, philips? is good just too good but not to close, maybe is not flagship series
A quick look on google would have got you that answer of if you buy a shaved it will tell you in the instructions it’s 12 to 18 months .but it just depends really on how thick your stubble is and how often you use it .i found the Bruan series 9 pro blade to go blunt fast 7 months into it struggled on day 3 growth beards need a new blade already
Got the braun series 9 , it was never the phillips, the series 7 was also lovely has a lot of attachments especially if you have a beard and for beard maintenance. But knowing my husband he would want all right there , and ready to go , I also like the charging case accessory especially for travel ( you didn't show this but it's in one of the packages they offer) . It will go for easily 2-3 weeks if you are on a trip . You could just take the charging cord but the case is a lovely addition and it has some heft and also protect the shaver. Thanks for the review appreciate the highlights.
I've had a Braun 5 for 22yrs, of course they claimed it would give you a "Baby bottom" smooth shave but it never did...changed the blades twice but ready for a new razor just ordered the Braun 9 It will probably outlive me...
I just got a Braun 9 pro with a clean station and a charging case. For 25 years of shaving with Gillette of any kinds I had never thought there is something better. Trying Braun 9 pro I was astonished with a speedy and glide shaving that I had never had in my life. Quick, soft and perfect shaving with enjoy! Quite expensive but it is worth that money!!! Better buy once than paying more for nothing.
I would have continued with the 7 forever - until the slider switch wouldn't turn off. Off. There's information everywhere except on how to fix the blue button on the switch and its retaining spring. Perfect in every way, unless you want to turn it off.
I got the Braun 9 series yesterday after owning the 7 and whatever the one was before. But this beats those by a long way on a smooth fast shave. Just have to clean it a bit differently, the others I could remove the head and tap it on the flat part of the sink to knock the dust? out, but the 9 head is a bit harder to hold, so it may be an under-the-tap job in the future.
The Phillips 9000 is an awesome shaver. it even lets you know when the shaving heads need to be replaced. You are right, it is equal to a blade in the quality of the shave.
Thanks for the video. It's always nice when whatever super specific product I'm shopping for has a well made review/comparison video on YT. Your efforts are appreciated
I have Braun 7 series and Braun 9 series. I use and like both but in terms of cleaning cartridge life, 7 series lasts much longer. On the other hand, 9 series gives you much closer shave.
Bought a Panasonic ES8093 about 20 years ago. Still going , doing a fine job. Looked on here with the idea of buying a new modern elec razor. Not much has changed, in fact your number one choice is similar to the features on mine. The battery on mine is probably knackerd if I new about the others, lasts about 2 weeks ?
I have found the foil shavers wear out way to fast then need to get new foils after getting a good cut on your face. I have an old flex head norelco that's close to 30 years old flex over the contours really well. The blades last about a year then can be touched up and used for another few months before the foils wear through.
I bought a Norelco shaver more than twenty years ago. It still shaves well, and I have never had to replace its rotary shavers or shaving head. As for charging, all I need do is still the plug into the wall. I runs on 120VAC. I don't travel much and don't need a battery powered headache!
I have an old Norelco shaver myself. It still shaves okay. And I replace the rotary blades and shaving head. But I'm considering treating myself to a new Braun 9000 series. I ain't getting any younger. 😊
@@waynea4651 I sharpen the blades myself. I've got a little file. Works great! Done it since the invasion of Normandy. I still have my old olive green Army shaving bag. 😊
I've been using the Braun 9 Series for 4 months now and is the best, closest shave I've had from an electric. And the cleaning base keeps the shavehead clean. Pricey, but worth the money. Bought at Amazon.
@@bryankones8097 Hi, Bryan. A blade razor will always give a smoother shave, an electric can only cut to the thickness of the screen. Tjat said, blades scrape and can do more damage to the skin. The first few times using an electric will feel weird due to the vibrations, like first using an ultrasonic toothbrush. Go slow with it at first so as not to pull longer hairs. I avoid alcohol-based colognes so as not to dry the skin. A moisturizer is better, one with a sunscreen if possible - sun and wind dry the skin.
@bryankones8097 I've been using a electric shaver for about 30 years now and I've had a lot of people say that they don't get a smooth shave. When you switch from a blade to an electric it usually takes a week or so for your face to adjust to the switch so don't get discouraged the first couple of weeks because it doesn't feel like you're not getting a smooth shave. After your face adjusts it will feel like a baby's butt.
I used the Braun 9 on my head. On the beard it absolutely sucked cutting the neck and chin area. If you get this for head only then do it. I'm currently looking for one that is good on neck and head together.
I currently use the Arc 5 and like it a lot. I’v had a Philips with the sideburn trimmer - it would pop off way too often. Also had the prior Braun 9. It was decent, but the sound it makes is annoying. Wonder if the current is quieter.
I had the Braun 7, but now have the Panasonic Arc 5. The improvement in closeness was striking in seconds, bordering on hard to believe. It's unwieldy, but you soon learn, and it's easy to hand clean. I use Braun shaver spray to lubricate. My facial hair is strong and awkward, and I use multiple passes, but you don't need to dig it into your face, and I have never had a problem with skin irritation etc.
I have tried all of these and for me the Panasonic is by far the best, use it wet and it rivals a blade for closeness but way easier to use. I have bought two one is still going after 12 years and the other 6 years and still like new.
I used to have a Panasonic, but found it wasn’t very good longer hairs. I have a Braun 7 now, which I love, I think Braun has the best balance long and short cutting.
I just moved up from the Braun 5 to the 9 after my son needed a shaver. I loved the 5 and the 9 is even better, it's efficient and close on a dense beard. I get some men enjoy shaving with hot water and foams and lathers, but I love knocking out a shave in 5 minutes anywhere I am, with or without water.
I buy cheap $30 rechargeable 3 head shavers of Amazon, they work perfectly well for that daily shave, the problem with these branded shavers is that replacement parts e.g. new shaving heads or the like cost a fortune often more than my Amazon shaver
You should make a best budget shaver video. Can you buy all the shavers & replacement heads on your video in retail stores? How often do you have to replace the blades?
Presently using the Braun 9 series. These are great if you shave every 2 days but, leave the whiskers for a week and the blades drag and give a poor cut, needing to go over the face several times. A traditional wet shave is best by a competent barber but that is only for the New Year.
6:25: Hi, I have tried to look for this rotating brush attachment for the 9000 prestige online but I haven’t been able to find it. Can anyone help here?
I have had the Braun 9 and found that it didn't do a good job on problem areas on my face and the cost of the cleaning supplies was ridiculous. More recently, I had the Norelco and found it did a mediocre job overall and it struggled with my problem areas. For Christmas I received the Panasonic Arc 5 and what a difference - like the proverbial hot knife through butter! For me, it is quick, efficent, and a close shave approaching a blade shave, without irritation. It also does a decent job on my problem areas. I strongly recommend it!
I have the Braun 9 9325s. S means without cleaning station. In my opinion the cleaning station is too bulky and expensive in use. Anyways, this machine is extremely good. Very gentle, yet effective. Highly recommended!
You have no idea how amazing the cleaning station is untill you try it. I am using mine for years. You cant clean your shaver good enough without the station. I have sensitive skin and the station kills everything on the razor. If i dont use the station (and i tired) my skin Will get Red,itchy, irritated. With the station its like shaving with a New shaver every time. Get one you wont be disappointed.
I’ve used Braun Series 9 and i didn’t like the handling, so i switched to Philips S9000 Prestige. It feels much better, is more quiet, lighter and easier to clean. Also i love the wireless charging with the IQ-Pad.
I have used electric razors for decades made by many manufacturers including a very expensive Braun. The best razor I've ever had is one I'm now using, an $8.00 rechargeable I bought at the .99 cents store in 2016. Over time I have replaced 2 batteries (with a little soldering) that came from Ace Hardware. Smoothest shave I've ever had and the three round heads have never been replaced. 5 years ago I bought a back-up razor in case the first one broke. It is still in the unopened box.
Panasonic make good stuff! I am in the Market to buy a shaver......Years ago I had a Braun and it used to sometimes seem to want to pluck a hair on my face rather than cut it. This was in the 1970's, do I went back to the old fashioned wet shave! Now I'm 67, every body I know who owns an electric shave loves Philipps .... But I bight go Braun. I'll watch this again. Thanks for yur objective review!
@@robertmiller2173 Good luck finding something that works well for you and will last long. I still use my Panasonic wet-dry ES-LA63. It is running strong for years.
I'm not a huge fan of Braun's I had a series 5 which while it did a decent job it seemed to take forever,replaced it with a Philip's 5000 and it gives as good a shave as a blade with minimum effort,it's the best electric razor I've ever used and I've had a few.
I bought the Braun series 7000 with the cleaning station but I did throw that away after a few months. I just rinse my shaving head which is way faster, cheaper (no expensive refills) and less noisier. If I want a realy deepclean of my shavinghead I throw it in the dishwasher. It comes out like new... 👍
Could have just bought 5 liters of isopropyl or enthol for 30 and used it as a cleaning solution and added oil in it to lube the shaver and it would have lasted you a long time by cleaning it once a week .i find cleaning station with my Bruan series 9 pro works wonders I was using tap water for some time and whal beard oil I found the shaver not to be cutting great untill I went back to the cleaning station plus my shaver stunk by kept using tap water and soap .put the cap on cleaning solution when not in use it will last longer cos bruans cleaning solution or isopropyl or enthol evaporates if the cap is not back on and you get longer outta it when cap is on or you could just buy a 20 to 30 ultrasonic cleaner and stick the blades I think that would work wonders actually but you will have to oil it afterwords
Most importantly how long will the cutting blades and screens last? Whenever I used a Braun this period was very short. However my Panasonic has never needed a new screen or blade in over 10 years! Yes the cutter is most likely dull by now but I use a blade also. Why does Braun wear out so fast??? What will these parts cost to replace?......I can imagine they are quite expensive!
My experience exactly the foils don't last 5 months for me then need ti replace. Expensive. Get a year out of my norelco rotary heads pop out touch them up and go some more.
I use a Norelco S3500 Wet/Dry... Its "5D" hinged head does everything the 9000 Prestige and its completely detachable pivoting head does (with a pop-out trimmer on the 3500) for a whole lot less money!
if thats a question the answer is No, not even close, the 9000 has way more blades, different style heads, and requires much more power to move them, so you get as close a shave and quickly as possible, not possible with the much simpler blades system and slow power of the s3500.
@@franco05 - I'm not paying $100 or more for a shaver, though! I don't care how many blades it has, what it's composed of, what it's capable of, if it has a button & corresponding LED for every single function, or how it soaks and self cleans in a special container of turbulent fluid, all while charging! I went that route with digging into my pockets for a Braun 20 years ago, and they're only still as good as the rechargeable battery life, which was only about seven years! I got twice as much life out of an old rechargeable Norelco Tripleheader I received as a gift back when I started shaving as a teen in the mid to late 70s! I've got better things to waste my money on, than a stupid prestigious shaver!
@@Jhihmoac to each their own, its a free world my friend, spend your money on something you will enjoy for sure, I don't see the point of your comments though, if shaving makes you suffer, then get the best one you can afford, it you don't shave then, get a boat. or sports tickets etc.. I do shave i enjoy shaving wet, and don't enjoy cuts, or skin irritation, so i have many shavers all cost more than 100 dollars, no big deal since i enjoy shaving, and enjoy not suffering when i do it. Peace out.
the problem I have with Phillips is that their replacement heads are really expensive compared to Braun Usually they are twice as expensive. Additionally, after I shave with my Braun series 7, i always rinse and then rotate my blades to prevent uneven wear and further extend their life. I plan to buy a new Braun series 9 pro
I've have the latest Phillips series 9000, the Panasonic Arc5 and Braun S9 Pro plus.. Phillips is the closest and quickest but leaves a rash/reddish under neck if getting the flat hairs .. Braun is the best IMO, especially when going over same area a few times with the tricky hairs under neck line, very gentle, the Braun pro plus trimmer (a upgrade compared to std pro model) is a far better trimmer than the phillips or Panasonic models.. Hope this helps 👍😊
Question. I have the Phillips 9000 prestige. Only downside is I travel a lot for work and find having to carry the charger a pain. I noticed one of your shots has a cable plugged into the bottom. I didn’t get a cable with mine but it has a small slot in the bottom. Am I missing something? Thanks
Had a Braun series 9 and needed a new circuit board after two years. Two years later same thing. Razor locks itself / stops working randomly and starts working randomly (like when no one is in the room).
Thanks for this review, I wished I had stumbled on this earlier, as a female we are sold tons of 'beauty' items for this purpose that invariably do not do the job adequately, what a ripoff, so I thought I would go hard core and get me a men's shaver, they seem to do the best job from the few I have borrowed from family. Thanks guys for the feedback as well. Great stuff.
I bought the braun series 9. I was a bit dissapointed. I was using a panasonic arc 5 before. Both make the same work. The difference is the price and braun’s travel case is expensive too
You really have to update your information, for instance Panasonic has realized the arc6 that's the last one. Philips has a new version of prestige. Cheers.
İşim gereği Günlük sakal tıraşı olmam gerekiyor. Yıllardır jilet ve jel kullanıyordum. Yaklaşık 2 hafta önce Braun 9 Pro+ 9577 CC modelini tercih ettim. 2, 3 ve 5 günlük tıraşlarda mükemmele yakın sonuç aldım. Yarından itibaren 1 günlük sakal tıraşında deneyip düşüncelerimi paylaşacağım. Ayrıca powercase çok şık ve kullanışlı. Temizleme standı daha deneyimlemesem de çok ilgi çekici duruyor
@@Footski1 thanks for the reply, just want ask if I can buy it without the chargeing/cleaner box or it is necessary to buy the full package? I inclined to buy it without the cleaner box and will clean it under running water. Kindly advise.
I bought the braun series 7 and I really like it bought it 7 months ago the charging station quit working so guess I'll need to purchase new charging station
I only like Braun's 9 series. But none of them are Panasonic. Braun also cuts well, but its lifespan is not as long as Panasonic's. I have been using Panasonic for nearly 10 years. I used it continuously, every 2 days, almost like the first day, and I didn't even change the head. Liner system It makes the difference. My father wore out a Braun 5 during this time and now he is using a Braun 9, it is very comfortable, but I don't think it will last 8--10 years. King Panasonic
I'm okay with the Braun Series 9 9376Cc that I have been using for a year now. However not happy when getting the replacement foil, which is 20% of the cost of the shaver.
I had a Braun series 7 for 20 years, and I can say it powers through the stubble, but the blades, although they will shave you for 12 to 18 months, they do lose their closeness after about 1 month, and gradually decline. My trick is, I shave with my old blade first, it only takes 2 seconds to change to my new one to finish off. That way I get a close shave long time, and still only go through one blade every 18 months or so. So best to start your second blade about 12 months, then at the 18 months, the new one becomes the old one, and after a while, start to finish off with a new one again. ............ I can also add, I was paying about $45 AU for a blade, now pay $69. Inflation. The Series 5 and 6 const $59, and they have the same motor as the series 7. I can buy a new series 6 now on sale for $149 at shaver shop, or $199 with beard trimmer kit. RE PANASONIC: I bought a new Panasonic from Shaver shop for $99, as it was almost half price, and I thought being 20 years more modern, it would be as good as my Braun, and not much more than a new blade. It was RUBBISH. Weak as piss, stuck to stubble like Velcro. I complained, they said bad luck, I complained more saying it was false advertising that it was "powerful". It should have been advertised as low power, for teenager perhaps. I got a refund, and so they didnt totally lose out, I upgraded to the more powerful Panasonic, normally $309.95 for a good discount. (Model ES-ST29, shaver shop exclusive) It was a bit better, but still was NOT capable of shaving a 24 hour stubble. It can do 6 hour, but not a full days worth. I can do a 2 to 3 day stubble shave with my 20 year old BRAUN. So the Panasonic is now on the reserve bench.................... So looking into the REVS or "shaving actions per minute" my upgraded Panasonic does 13,000. A series 5, 6 or 7 Braun does 24,000. Maybe that explains the poor Panasonic performance. Not sure what my old Braun does. A series 8 Braun does 30,000 and a series 9 Braun does 40,000. So I looked up the latest Panasonic, ($899 retail) and it does 84,000. Thats pretty fast. So I can see why people seem to like the Panasonic, but be warned, dont buy the lower price ones, thinking they are all good!! For same money, the Brauns are much better. But if going top range, maybe the Panasonic.
I purchased the top Braun model this year, and more recently, the top phillips. For me the phillips is by far the best and closest shave. Just one opinion though...
Braun is good but overrated. I had a 7-yo Panasonic. Decided I got good life out of it. All the reviews pointed to Braun 7 and 9. Gee, you wonder which company might send more free test units to reviewers? Maybe Braun? The 7-yo Panasonic kicked the Braun 7's ass. Got acne/ingrown hairs with the Braun and have to shave more often as it painfully pulls hairs. The Panasonic I can go an extra day before it starts pulling hairs and no acne/ingrown hair problem. Lighter and quieter too. Braun has done a good job marketing their brand and convinced a lot of people it HAS to be the best. I would guess the 9 is on par with the Panasonic but not a good value for the price.
@@MightyRude I used to be an electric razor guy myself, I had a Braun Cooltec, 9 Series and a Philips 9000 Series, the truth is I thought they would be quicker and closer, but they actually took longer and didn't give me a smooth shave and left me with irritation due to going over the same area again and again (especially around the neck area), I found when I used them wet with shaving gel the results were only marginally better, but the shave took even longer! Then I tried a safety razor with proper shaving soap, the difference was night and day, a quicker, closer, baby smooth shave - with NO irritation! Not to mention, a hell of a lot cheaper! Give one a try, it's a miles better shave, you can pick a safety razor, a pack of blades and a soap stick up fairly cheap online, you won't be disappointed!
Do any of these electric razors have a travel lockout for the push button on/off switch? I have a Remington with a push button on/off that I've taken on numerous trips only to have "buzzing" luggage at some point on the trip because the damned button gets pressed in the luggage. Would adding some sort of on/off travel lockout be too much to ask? Every one of these reviewed razors have a push button on/off.
I never had a problem as Philips always had a lock function. But i did have a haircutter which got switched on somehow. I was pulled aside in Mexico city as my case was buzzing quite loudly.
The quick answer is no, due to the amount of blades and the power that you need to move them properly. its a bad idea, you will end up cutting your skin. or getting skin irritation.
I'm 45. My dad got me an electric shaver as a teen and stopped using it after college. Now I have a 13 yo son and would like to get him one for when he needs to start shaving since I don't want to give him a blade yet. Since it's been a while, which would be the best for him? Still one of these, or a more basic one?
I have problem of 5 o'clock or I don't know what is it, it make my face green like an old man I don't know what is it the best machine to get rid of hair under skin

Braun is owned by Gillette.
You pay either way, one will just cost more upfront. The Brauns do shave really well.
Been using Braun for over a decade. First the 7 and now the 9. Happy with both.
I would have continued with the 7 forever - until the slider switch wouldn't turn off. Off.
There's information everywhere except on how to fix the blue button on the switch and its retaining spring.
Perfect in every way, unless you want to turn it off.
I got the Braun 9 series yesterday after owning the 7 and whatever the one was before. But this beats those by a long way on a smooth fast shave. Just have to clean it a bit differently, the others I could remove the head and tap it on the flat part of the sink to knock the dust? out, but the 9 head is a bit harder to hold, so it may be an under-the-tap job in the future.
I bought 9 Pro series 😊
The Phillips 9000 is an awesome shaver. it even lets you know when the shaving heads need to be replaced. You are right, it is equal to a blade in the quality of the shave.
Could you shave close to a beard with that shaver? I need something to shave my neck without it catching in my beard
Don't replace them! Just get a knife sharpening wetstone and sharpen them. Its easy. ruclips.net/video/rk_gBuobxRY/видео.html&ab_channel=LiveFree

Have you found any good neck shaver?
Thanks for the video. It's always nice when whatever super specific product I'm shopping for has a well made review/comparison video on YT. Your efforts are appreciated
Glad it was helpful!
I have Braun 7 series and Braun 9 series. I use and like both but in terms of cleaning cartridge life, 7 series lasts much longer. On the other hand, 9 series gives you much closer shave.
Old or new series 7? The older, superior series 7 has been discontinued!
Bought a Panasonic ES8093 about 20 years ago. Still going , doing a fine job. Looked on here with the idea of buying a new modern elec razor. Not much has changed, in fact your number one choice is similar to the features on mine. The battery on mine is probably knackerd if I new about the others, lasts about 2 weeks ?
I have found the foil shavers wear out way to fast then need to get new foils after getting a good cut on your face. I have an old flex head norelco that's close to 30 years old flex over the contours really well. The blades last about a year then can be touched up and used for another few months before the foils wear through.
I bought a Norelco shaver more than twenty years ago. It still shaves well, and I have never had to replace its rotary shavers or shaving head. As for charging, all I need do is still the plug into the wall. I runs on 120VAC. I don't travel much and don't need a battery powered headache!
I have an old Norelco shaver myself. It still shaves okay. And I replace the rotary blades and shaving head. But I'm considering treating myself to a new Braun 9000 series. I ain't getting any younger. 😊
@@waynea4651 I sharpen the blades myself. I've got a little file. Works great! Done it since the invasion of Normandy. I still have my old olive green Army shaving bag. 😊

I've been using the Braun 9 Series for 4 months now and is the best, closest shave I've had from an electric. And the cleaning base keeps the shavehead clean. Pricey, but worth the money. Bought at Amazon.
I just bought the 9 Pro, love it I had the series 3 and figured it was time for an update, I wish I did it sooner, I also got it from Amazon.
Never tried electric shavers before. Does it leave the skin looking smooth or does it dry it out?
@@bryankones8097 Hi, Bryan. A blade razor will always give a smoother shave, an electric can only cut to the thickness of the screen. Tjat said, blades scrape and can do more damage to the skin. The first few times using an electric will feel weird due to the vibrations, like first using an ultrasonic toothbrush. Go slow with it at first so as not to pull longer hairs. I avoid alcohol-based colognes so as not to dry the skin. A moisturizer is better, one with a sunscreen if possible - sun and wind dry the skin.
@bryankones8097 I've been using a electric shaver for about 30 years now and I've had a lot of people say that they don't get a smooth shave. When you switch from a blade to an electric it usually takes a week or so for your face to adjust to the switch so don't get discouraged the first couple of weeks because it doesn't feel like you're not getting a smooth shave. After your face adjusts it will feel like a baby's butt.
The Panasonic ARC 5 was the best electric shave Ive ever had.
Same here.
Agreed!
Best
I used the Braun 9 on my head. On the beard it absolutely sucked cutting the neck and chin area. If you get this for head only then do it. I'm currently looking for one that is good on neck and head together.
have you find any? im thinking about Philips 9
I currently use the Arc 5 and like it a lot. I’v had a Philips with the sideburn trimmer - it would pop off way too often. Also had the prior Braun 9. It was decent, but the sound it makes is annoying. Wonder if the current is quieter.
Thank you! Ordering the Philips shaver.
I had the Braun 7, but now have the Panasonic Arc 5. The improvement in closeness was striking in seconds, bordering on hard to believe. It's unwieldy, but you soon learn, and it's easy to hand clean. I use Braun shaver spray to lubricate. My facial hair is strong and awkward, and I use multiple passes, but you don't need to dig it into your face, and I have never had a problem with skin irritation etc.
I gave my Panasonic arc5 as a hand-me-down to my brother, after sneaking into my friends medicine cabinet and using his Braun 9= Bought the 9.
Idk but Braun sucks on my face
Braun is weird. Had to go back to Phillips. But is higher Phillips give closer shave?
I have tried all of these and for me the Panasonic is by far the best, use it wet and it rivals a blade for closeness but way easier to use. I have bought two one is still going after 12 years and the other 6 years and still like new.
Hi what is the model of your Panasonic please?
@@redpillmedicine5076 ES-LV61
Totally agree. Since I got my Arc5, I threw my cartridge razors in the trash.
I used to have a Panasonic, but found it wasn’t very good longer hairs. I have a Braun 7 now, which I love, I think Braun has the best balance long and short cutting.

@@richardharris5819 unfortunetly 😫 womens has better with this 😆
I just moved up from the Braun 5 to the 9 after my son needed a shaver. I loved the 5 and the 9 is even better, it's efficient and close on a dense beard. I get some men enjoy shaving with hot water and foams and lathers, but I love knocking out a shave in 5 minutes anywhere I am, with or without water.
hope u switched the blades lol
Braun just didn't cut worth anything for me.
How much you paid for Braun 9?
A clean shave with a T makes less than with an electric one, actually. But it's true you need water and soap at least.
I buy cheap $30 rechargeable 3 head shavers of Amazon, they work perfectly well for that daily shave, the problem with these branded shavers is that replacement parts e.g. new shaving heads or the like cost a fortune often more than my Amazon shaver
You should make a best budget shaver video. Can you buy all the shavers & replacement heads on your video in retail stores? How often do you have to replace the blades?
Yeah I can’t afford to be spending £100+ on one of these
Presently using the Braun 9 series. These are great if you shave every 2 days but, leave the whiskers for a week and the blades drag and give a poor cut, needing to go over the face several times.
A traditional wet shave is best by a competent barber but that is only for the New Year.
6:25: Hi, I have tried to look for this rotating brush attachment for the 9000 prestige online but I haven’t been able to find it. Can anyone help here?
I have had the Braun 9 and found that it didn't do a good job on problem areas on my face and the cost of the cleaning supplies was ridiculous. More recently, I had the Norelco and found it did a mediocre job overall and it struggled with my problem areas. For Christmas I received the Panasonic Arc 5 and what a difference - like the proverbial hot knife through butter! For me, it is quick, efficent, and a close shave approaching a blade shave, without irritation. It also does a decent job on my problem areas. I strongly recommend it!
I love my Arc5. Wet shaving with it is a very pleasant experience.
Can you buy the replacement blades at any store? How much was the Panasonic?
@@ro-landocalrissian4633 $150 on Amazon and they carry replacement blades.
Is arc5 suit for sensitive skin?
@@amrouali1133 I would say yes. There are two cutting intensity levels and the low one does a great job for me, without irritation.
I have the Braun 9 9325s. S means without cleaning station. In my opinion the cleaning station is too bulky and expensive in use. Anyways, this machine is extremely good. Very gentle, yet effective. Highly recommended!
You have no idea how amazing the cleaning station is untill you try it.
I am using mine for years. You cant clean your shaver good enough without the station. I have sensitive skin and the station kills everything on the razor. If i dont use the station (and i tired) my skin Will get Red,itchy, irritated. With the station its like shaving with a New shaver every time. Get one you wont be disappointed.
Čistiaca stanica je ako bidet alebo sušička prádla. Kto to nemal nechýba mu, kto mal nevie žiť bez toho...
I'm thinking of getting the Braun 9 series. I had the Braun 3 series and after 8 years it's time.
looking for an adjustable shaver. I like the day old beard look. What is/are best options for such a shaver?
I’ve used Braun Series 9 and i didn’t like the handling, so i switched to Philips S9000 Prestige. It feels much better, is more quiet, lighter and easier to clean. Also i love the wireless charging with the IQ-Pad.
Does Philips give closer shave?
Just bought the Braun series 9 Pro and Oh what a beauty! And no more blades on my face. Leaves your face as smooth as a babies bum.
Great video.
How would you compare the new Panasonic Arc6 vs the Braun Series 9
Great information purchased a Braun Series 9 Pro.
Sold on the Braun series 9 shaver. Thanks!
A really great comprehensive review. Thanks.
The Braun série 9 is incredibly fast and effective. I should have changed earlier…great stuff … every day…
I have used electric razors for decades made by many manufacturers including a very expensive Braun. The best razor I've ever had is one I'm now using, an $8.00 rechargeable I bought at the .99 cents store in 2016. Over time I have replaced 2 batteries (with a little soldering) that came from Ace Hardware. Smoothest shave I've ever had and the three round heads have never been replaced. 5 years ago I bought a back-up razor in case the first one broke. It is still in the unopened box.
Brand, link? Thx.
@@jeffzest8393 I put on my readers and saw that the box actually says PACIFIC RECHARGEABLE SHAVER, everything else is the same.
@@jeffzest8393 A few minutes ago I sent a message with the company name, p.o. box and telephone number. No message, I'll resend in a day or two.
Bought 9 series Braun. Will have to learn how to use it properly.
I’ve been using a Braun series 5 for years. And I keep saying to myself as soon as this thing quits or breaks, I’m buying another Norelco.
After years of using different electric shavers I decided for the Panasonic wet-dry shavers. There is nothing better in the market.
Panasonic make good stuff! I am in the Market to buy a shaver......Years ago I had a Braun and it used to sometimes seem to want to pluck a hair on my face rather than cut it. This was in the 1970's, do I went back to the old fashioned wet shave!
Now I'm 67, every body I know who owns an electric shave loves Philipps .... But I bight go Braun. I'll watch this again.
Thanks for yur objective review!
@@robertmiller2173 Good luck finding something that works well for you and will last long. I still use my Panasonic wet-dry ES-LA63. It is running strong for years.
@@corujariousaHead and cutter replacement almost costs more than buying a new shaver.
What about Braun?
@@bozhidar-petrov It is a good brand but I don't have experience with it so I can't comment.
I got the braun series 7, which is a brilliant shave I've also got a braun series 6 as well, which is pretty good, braun all the way for me
I'm not a huge fan of Braun's I had a series 5 which while it did a decent job it seemed to take forever,replaced it with a Philip's 5000 and it gives as good a shave as a blade with minimum effort,it's the best electric razor I've ever used and I've had a few.
Think I'm gonna go with the Braun Series 7 with the charging/cleaning station & other accessories 👍
I just got the Braun 9 series
I bought the Braun series 7000 with the cleaning station but I did throw that away after a few months. I just rinse my shaving head which is way faster, cheaper (no expensive refills) and less noisier. If I want a realy deepclean of my shavinghead I throw it in the dishwasher. It comes out like new... 👍
The Braun shaving head lasts much longer if you use the cleaning station as the fluid provided doesn’t just clean but also lubricates.
@@wwilll you can buy new blade heads instead of paying as much or more money to refillings
The cleaning solution refill is literally only like 5-6 dollars. Idk what you’re talking about.
Could have just bought 5 liters of isopropyl or enthol for 30 and used it as a cleaning solution and added oil in it to lube the shaver and it would have lasted you a long time by cleaning it once a week .i find cleaning station with my Bruan series 9 pro works wonders I was using tap water for some time and whal beard oil I found the shaver not to be cutting great untill I went back to the cleaning station plus my shaver stunk by kept using tap water and soap .put the cap on cleaning solution when not in use it will last longer cos bruans cleaning solution or isopropyl or enthol evaporates if the cap is not back on and you get longer outta it when cap is on or you could just buy a 20 to 30 ultrasonic cleaner and stick the blades I think that would work wonders actually but you will have to oil it afterwords
Most importantly how long will the cutting blades and screens last? Whenever I used a Braun this period was very short. However my Panasonic has never needed a new screen or blade in over 10 years! Yes the cutter is most likely dull by now but I use a blade also. Why does Braun wear out so fast???
What will these parts cost to replace?......I can imagine they are quite expensive!
Probably just like everything else these days, more than it would be to just buy a new one.
My experience exactly the foils don't last 5 months for me then need ti replace. Expensive. Get a year out of my norelco rotary heads pop out touch them up and go some more.
I use a Norelco S3500 Wet/Dry... Its "5D" hinged head does everything the 9000 Prestige and its completely detachable pivoting head does (with a pop-out trimmer on the 3500) for a whole lot less money!
if thats a question the answer is No, not even close, the 9000 has way more blades, different style heads, and requires much more power to move them, so you get as close a shave and quickly as possible, not possible with the much simpler blades system and slow power of the s3500.
@@franco05 - I'm not paying $100 or more for a shaver, though!
I don't care how many blades it has, what it's composed of, what it's capable of, if it has a button & corresponding LED for every single function, or how it soaks and self cleans in a special container of turbulent fluid, all while charging! I went that route with digging into my pockets for a Braun 20 years ago, and they're only still as good as the rechargeable battery life, which was only about seven years! I got twice as much life out of an old rechargeable Norelco Tripleheader I received as a gift back when I started shaving as a teen in the mid to late 70s!
I've got better things to waste my money on, than a stupid prestigious shaver!
@@Jhihmoac to each their own, its a free world my friend, spend your money on something you will enjoy for sure, I don't see the point of your comments though, if shaving makes you suffer, then get the best one you can afford, it you don't shave then, get a boat. or sports tickets etc.. I do shave i enjoy shaving wet, and don't enjoy cuts, or skin irritation, so i have many shavers all cost more than 100 dollars, no big deal since i enjoy shaving, and enjoy not suffering when i do it. Peace out.
GREAT THANKS A LOT ... APRRECIATE THIS SO WELL .... RESPECT .... I BUY THE PHILIPS ....
the problem I have with Phillips is that their replacement heads are really expensive compared to Braun Usually they are twice as expensive. Additionally, after I shave with my Braun series 7, i always rinse and then rotate my blades to prevent uneven wear and further extend their life. I plan to buy a new Braun series 9 pro
I've have the latest Phillips series 9000, the Panasonic Arc5 and Braun S9 Pro plus.. Phillips is the closest and quickest but leaves a rash/reddish under neck if getting the flat hairs .. Braun is the best IMO, especially when going over same area a few times with the tricky hairs under neck line, very gentle, the Braun pro plus trimmer (a upgrade compared to std pro model) is a far better trimmer than the phillips or Panasonic models.. Hope this helps 👍😊
Philps Series 9000 Prestige
Question. I have the Phillips 9000 prestige. Only downside is I travel a lot for work and find having to carry the charger a pain. I noticed one of your shots has a cable plugged into the bottom. I didn’t get a cable with mine but it has a small slot in the bottom. Am I missing something? Thanks
When I got my Philips 9000 Prestige a charging cable was included. You can buy a charging cable at Amazon. It's very cheap.
I purchased a George . Cheap and brilliant.
Had a Braun series 9 and needed a new circuit board after two years. Two years later same thing.
Razor locks itself / stops working randomly and starts working randomly (like when no one is in the room).
Very helpful 👌
Chose the Braun series 9 pro. ❤ It.
I've had 3 of the Braun series 9 and all three had to be replaced because of motherboard issues causing the button not to work properly.
Thanks for this review, I wished I had stumbled on this earlier, as a female we are sold tons of 'beauty' items for this purpose that invariably do not do the job adequately, what a ripoff, so I thought I would go hard core and get me a men's shaver, they seem to do the best job from the few I have borrowed from family. Thanks guys for the feedback as well. Great stuff.
Lol I thought I was the only one 🤔I’m like wow “the closest cleanest shave you say”😂
do any of them catch hairs that they have cutted?
How about which shaver has the best replacement shaver head!
Braun series 7 for the win 👊
Old or new series 7? The older, superior series 7 has been discontinued!
I bought the braun series 9. I was a bit dissapointed. I was using a panasonic arc 5 before. Both make the same work. The difference is the price and braun’s travel case is expensive too

The best product in the world ❤❤
You really have to update your information, for instance Panasonic has realized the arc6 that's the last one. Philips has a new version of prestige. Cheers.
I find the brawn foil machine deafing specially when shaving close to the ears...locks area...

I'll stick with my Remington foil shaver. The pop-up trimmer is useful, and shaving is quick, non-irritating, and effective.

As a bold man..
Braun is the way to go! Nothing compares.. I've owned all of these
Why don‘t you mention the price? And the price of replacement blades. That is very important if you want to make a decision on what to buy
I bought the braun series 7 and I really like it bought it 7 months ago the charging station quit working so guess I'll need to purchase new charging station
No 1 year warranty on said charging station?
I only like Braun's 9 series. But none of them are Panasonic. Braun also cuts well, but its lifespan is not as long as Panasonic's. I have been using Panasonic for nearly 10 years. I used it continuously, every 2 days, almost like the first day, and I didn't even change the head. Liner system It makes the difference. My father wore out a Braun 5 during this time and now he is using a Braun 9, it is very comfortable, but I don't think it will last 8--10 years. King Panasonic
I'm okay with the Braun Series 9 9376Cc that I have been using for a year now. However not happy when getting the replacement foil, which is 20% of the cost of the shaver.
Now hard to find those and only 2 stores have it for almost 90 $$$$$$ , never again Braun !!!!!!!!
@@LEMON48 Amazon ✅
Electric shavers are awesome and I have two
Use an inexpensive, wet/dry in the shower to knock down the stubble, then an inexpensive disposable, 3 blade razor to clean up. Very easy on the skin.
What about a straight blade after ?
I have been the same thing for over 50 years,i have a Braun 3 series for $30.00 and use double blade razor..smooth as a baby's bottom..
I had a Braun series 7 for 20 years, and I can say it powers through the stubble, but the blades, although they will shave you for 12 to 18 months, they do lose their closeness after about 1 month, and gradually decline. My trick is, I shave with my old blade first, it only takes 2 seconds to change to my new one to finish off. That way I get a close shave long time, and still only go through one blade every 18 months or so. So best to start your second blade about 12 months, then at the 18 months, the new one becomes the old one, and after a while, start to finish off with a new one again. ............ I can also add, I was paying about $45 AU for a blade, now pay $69. Inflation. The Series 5 and 6 const $59, and they have the same motor as the series 7. I can buy a new series 6 now on sale for $149 at shaver shop, or $199 with beard trimmer kit. RE PANASONIC: I bought a new Panasonic from Shaver shop for $99, as it was almost half price, and I thought being 20 years more modern, it would be as good as my Braun, and not much more than a new blade. It was RUBBISH. Weak as piss, stuck to stubble like Velcro. I complained, they said bad luck, I complained more saying it was false advertising that it was "powerful". It should have been advertised as low power, for teenager perhaps. I got a refund, and so they didnt totally lose out, I upgraded to the more powerful Panasonic, normally $309.95 for a good discount. (Model ES-ST29, shaver shop exclusive) It was a bit better, but still was NOT capable of shaving a 24 hour stubble. It can do 6 hour, but not a full days worth. I can do a 2 to 3 day stubble shave with my 20 year old BRAUN. So the Panasonic is now on the reserve bench.................... So looking into the REVS or "shaving actions per minute" my upgraded Panasonic does 13,000. A series 5, 6 or 7 Braun does 24,000. Maybe that explains the poor Panasonic performance. Not sure what my old Braun does. A series 8 Braun does 30,000 and a series 9 Braun does 40,000. So I looked up the latest Panasonic, ($899 retail) and it does 84,000. Thats pretty fast. So I can see why people seem to like the Panasonic, but be warned, dont buy the lower price ones, thinking they are all good!! For same money, the Brauns are much better. But if going top range, maybe the Panasonic.
I have a older Braun Series 6, and I've been looking at replacing it with a newer one. I think I might end up getting a new Series 7.
I just bought a new Series 6, well, it's a store return for $50 out the door to me.
Old or new series 7? The older, superior series 7 has been discontinued!
I purchased the top Braun model this year, and more recently, the top phillips. For me the phillips is by far the best and closest shave. Just one opinion though...
Braun is good but overrated. I had a 7-yo Panasonic. Decided I got good life out of it. All the reviews pointed to Braun 7 and 9. Gee, you wonder which company might send more free test units to reviewers? Maybe Braun? The 7-yo Panasonic kicked the Braun 7's ass. Got acne/ingrown hairs with the Braun and have to shave more often as it painfully pulls hairs. The Panasonic I can go an extra day before it starts pulling hairs and no acne/ingrown hair problem. Lighter and quieter too. Braun has done a good job marketing their brand and convinced a lot of people it HAS to be the best. I would guess the 9 is on par with the Panasonic but not a good value for the price.
Which Panasonic do you recommend?
*The Merkur 37C paired with a Voskhod blade and Arko shaving soap - Nothing else comes close!*
@@MightyRude I used to be an electric razor guy myself, I had a Braun Cooltec, 9 Series and a Philips 9000 Series, the truth is I thought they would be quicker and closer, but they actually took longer and didn't give me a smooth shave and left me with irritation due to going over the same area again and again (especially around the neck area), I found when I used them wet with shaving gel the results were only marginally better, but the shave took even longer! Then I tried a safety razor with proper shaving soap, the difference was night and day, a quicker, closer, baby smooth shave - with NO irritation! Not to mention, a hell of a lot cheaper! Give one a try, it's a miles better shave, you can pick a safety razor, a pack of blades and a soap stick up fairly cheap online, you won't be disappointed!
Do any of these electric razors have a travel lockout for the push button on/off switch? I have a Remington with a push button on/off that I've taken on numerous trips only to have "buzzing" luggage at some point on the trip because the damned button gets pressed in the luggage. Would adding some sort of on/off travel lockout be too much to ask? Every one of these reviewed razors have a push button on/off.
Philips Shaver Series 9000 Prestige, If you push the button for 3second, it will lock for travel.
The Panasonic range including the shown LV65 does have a lock setting,on the dial. Works well. Never had the “buzzing luggage” problem since! 😂
The arc 5 does too.
I never had a problem as Philips always had a lock function. But i did have a haircutter which got switched on somehow. I was pulled aside in Mexico city as my case was buzzing quite loudly.
Braun series 7 has a travel lock,push button for 3seconds.
pricing info would have been helpful
What about battery accessibility and replacement?
IT is possible to fit Prestige blades to some earlier Philips shavers.
The quick answer is no, due to the amount of blades and the power that you need to move them properly. its a bad idea, you will end up cutting your skin. or getting skin irritation.
What about noise levels?
Nothing beats a DE razor with a Feather blade.
Or a artisan SE with a feather blade.
I'm 45. My dad got me an electric shaver as a teen and stopped using it after college. Now I have a 13 yo son and would like to get him one for when he needs to start shaving since I don't want to give him a blade yet. Since it's been a while, which would be the best for him? Still one of these, or a more basic one?
Panasonic Arc3 might be a good choice. Cool colors too. Make sure it's a Wet/Dry type.
I have the Braun but the sound is really annoying. I’m gonna buy the Philips prestige
