Having owned a pretty good Braun razor many years ago, and now in need of a new razor, I bought a Braun 370 in April 2012. I was very disappointed. It was very slow to shave with: it took about 15 minutes of repeatedly going over the same areas, and even then the shave was not close, with stubble clearly visible and feelable. I persisted for a month or so, but eventually gave up and bought a Wahl Ultima 7200. What a contrast: the Wahl gave a quick and very smooth shave. Don't buy the Braun 370!
