Summary: Superior shave, no razor burn 2009-01-06
Comment: Received as a Christmas present, I was going to "make myself like it" if it didn't fully measure up. No worries. This is the best shaver I've ever used, from early Shick, later Remingtons, Norelcos & even Braun's, though they [Braun] were the best up to this point. Fresh-out-of-the-carton shave was just plain fantastic. Really, REALLY close - without taking any particular pains. Subsequently, I have been using Williams "Lectric Shave" with it, hoping to extend the life of the shaver head, but it shaves fine either way. Haven't yet tried its cleaning station, having been on the road. Can't speak to it's longevity, yet - but I sure am happy on the honeymoon. I never expected a shave this good from an electric razor. Put me down as "amazed" and exceedingly pleased.

Summary: Very Good Foil Type Electric Razor 2009-01-04
Comment: Gives a realively close shave for an electric razor. The only other shave I like that is closer is a safety razor shave.

Summary: The worst Shaver ever 2008-12-30
Comment: The thing simply does not shave. I have top go over the same stretch of skin several times in different directions, never had this problem with cheaper Norelcos. The result? Constant skin irritation.
To add insult to the injury, Amazon is refusing to take it back. My wife bought it for me as a birthday gift, so it sat there for a week before I used the shaver. The instructions say to give it three weeks to get your skin to get used to it. As a result, the month return period was up, and now I am stuck with this horrible thing.

Summary: The 590cc is not the 8995!!! 2008-12-19
Comment: This item is the series 5 590cc not the 8995. The 8995 is a completely different than the 590cc. 590cc is a smaller shaver. Not very happy that they didn't fix my problem, twice in a row.

Summary: 8995 is the best. 2008-12-12
Comment: I have been a Braun man for over 35 year's. The 8995 is the best electric razor I have ever used. If you have never tried one. Do yourself a favor and get it.
