Good Points
Shaves as close as a razor. Quiet operation compared to other shavers I have owned. Battery lasts a week (7 shaves for me, but I tend to spend between 7-10 minutes per shave). Charges from empty in under an hour. Hard case + gun oil are a bonus.
Bad Points
None that I can find. Had it for 3 months now, works absolutely fine
General Comments
I hesitated before buying the Braun Contour Series 5875 Foil Shaver, as I've always used rotary heads (latest one was a Phillips 3 head system). I was a bit scared of using foil cutter really - but it has been the best move for me. My skin found it strange for about 10 shaves; now it feels like a wet shave every time. I get ingrown hairs now and then, but that's my facial skin playing tricks, nothing to do with the foil shaver. I must say I am impressed with the Braun, this is my first and certainly will not be the last. I recommend you shop around though, I paid over 60 for mine but have seen it for less than 40 in some places. Have a good shave!
