Braun Series 9 [Detailed Review]

Braun is a well-known German maker of men’s and women’s electric shavers, and even has the distinction of being “The World’s No. 1 Foil Shaver Brand”. If you’re expecting the best shaving experience, you’ll want to try the Braun Series 9. This shaver can be used wet, or dry, and it comes with its own cleaning center, to save you time in the morning. The price of this shaver is quite high, it’s not for everyone, but it will appeal to men who only buy the best.

Braun Series 9-9095Cc

Made in Germany

If you’re finicky about where your electric shaver is made, the Braun Series 9 9095Cc is Made in Germany. So, no worries that you’re spending money on an inferior product that was made in China.

Use It Anywhere

The Braun Series 9 9095Cc can be used dry, for a fast shave at any time, or wet, over a sink in the morning, or in the shower. Soap can be added, but for the best shave, shaving gels, foams, and creams will prepare the skin for a smoother shave below the surface of the skin, keeping the face looking great for much longer throughout the day.

Attractive Appearance

The Braun Series 9 9095Cc comes in a sleek and attractive dark grey and charcoal casing, with a black and grey cleaning unit. There are more design aesthetics to this Braun shaver, than their mid-range models. There is a round power on button, and a blue LCD indicator. The electric shaver is fully cordless. It’s designed to be ergonomic, and keep the hand comfortable through a full shave. It’s not easy to drop in the sink or shower, even when it gets slick with water, or soap.

It’s powerful, and its four cutting elements will trim all hair right down. The blades are designed to capture all types of hair, whether they are long or short, or laying flat against the skin.

Cleaning and Charging Station for Simple Maintenance

The cleaning station has a five action cleaning and charging system. You can place your shaver in the cleaning station, and it will automatically clean it, charge it up to maximum power, and lubricate the inner workings. You can choose which cleaning mode that you want, by pressing the button on the unit. If you clean your shaver every day, it will feel brand new each time you use it. The cleaner works with cleansing packets, and is intelligent enough to only use as much as needed for each cleaning. The unit will then dry your shaver quickly, with its built-in fan.

The cleaning unit cleans so much better than just rinsing your shaver under the tap after each usage, though you can do that in between, if you so wish.

Braun Series 9 Shaver Specifications

The Braun Series 9 9095Cc and cleaning unit both weight 2.6 pounds. The shaver itself measures 6.1” x 27” x 8.7 inches. The product comes with a full warranty. In the box you’ll get the shaver, cleaning and charging unit, and travel case. There is an option to purchase an additional two year warranty, for peace of mind.

Braun Shaver Costs

The Braun Series 9 costs around $250. This price is a lot of money for a shaver, so this one is just those who want one of the best shavers in the market. It must also be remembered that half these costs are also for the cleaning and charging station.

The cleaning and charging unit requires the regular consumption of Braun Clean and Renew cartridges. A three pack of these can be purchased for around $20, plus shipping. One cleaning cartridge will last you about one month. Since they are sold in packs of three, a pack will need to be replaced every three or four months, so you’ll want to calculate your costs in. Some prefer to simply rinse their Braun under the tap after each use, but i think it is much easier to use the cleaning station.

You may also find that when you need to replace the head in two or three year’s time, that the replacement foil heads are not the same quality as the original if you choose your source poorly.

While the Braun Series 9 9095Cc certainly looks attractive on the counter, many may question the additional cost of the shaver. Has it been built more durable and longer lasting, or are the costs in its look? Are a lot of costs associated with the cleaning unit, that keeps the shaver in perfect running order? Most of the reviews agree that this is one of the best electric shaver.

  • I shave my head bald everyday with the Wahl Shaver Shaper and I use the Philips Norelco 1280x on my face. Is there a razor you would recommend that could handle both? I’d love to be able to travel with only one razor!

  • This Braun 9095 is the best looking of my nearly dozen shavers. I have 7 electric (cord only) and the rest battery rechargeable. I found it is extremely high quality but the actual shave approached my less than $20 Braun 130s-1 cord shaver. My Remington Microscreens (just bought two cord only new ones) shave the best along with the Microscreen rechargeables. Though I am trying to phase out rechargeables because of their disadvantages (waiting to charge, dying in the middle of shaving, buying replacement batteries) this Braun 9095 feels solid in the hand, is quiet, doesn’t vibrate and cleans well with the Cleaning System. I would prefer having no cleaning system and being able to clean the actual cutters with this model, but it is a cassette cartridge. But for people who like rechargeables and don’t mind paying a lot of money, it is pretty decent. Like the $20 Brauns I have, this one also has a two-year warranty.

  • Hello Nick,

    I am currently searching for an electric razor as I suffer from regular razor burn.
    I have narrowed down my search to either the Braun 7 series or the Braun 9 series.
    The cost is not a factor in my decision, just the comfort and effectiveness of the razor- my priorities are to have as little aggravation as possible and a smooth shave (but no aggravation is the most important of the two).

    Which of the two electric razors would you recommend to me?

    Thank you!

  • Hi Nick,

    I’m looking for a shaver for my husband. He stopped shaving and only trims his beard. He stopped because he gets really bad shaving rash. I was wondering which shaver would you recommend. I was looking at the Braun 7 or 9 series. Price is not an issue.
    Thanks

    • Hi Soo-le,

      I would suggest to try different type of shavers to see what’s working for his sensitive skin.
      The 2 main types are Rotary (Philips) and Foil (Braun, etc) shavers.

      He could try Braun Series 9 if the price doesn’t matter. It’s Braun’s best shaver.

      Don’t forget to apply shaving foam or gel before shaving, it softens the skin. Pick one that is for sensitive skin.
      Braun series 9 can be used both wet and dry so it won’t be a problem.

      After shaving, use cold water or cold towel to close the pores.
      Clean the shaver with the cleaning unit every time.
      Even if his skin becomes irritated, after a few times of shaving it should get use to it.

  • Your review shows you can use the 9095 with soap, gels and foams, one of the reasons why I bought this model.
