Summary: very weak foil on Braun 8000-series shavers
Comment: This is a followup to a review I previously posted about this product. It has become obvious that the foil on Braun 8000-series shavers is defective by design and/or manufacture because the foil goes bad WAY too often. I have used Braun 6000 and 7000 series shavers, and never had the bad experience I've had with the 8000-series shaver. I treat all my shavers carefully; nothing but my face, or tissue, touches the head. Here is my experience:
Oct 14 purchase a new Braun 8975
Dec 15 hole appears in foil
Dec 21 replace foil+cutter (from Braun customer service)
Jun 02 hole appears in foil
Jun 03 replace foil+cutter
Jun 17 hole appears in foil after only 2 weeks!
Really, at $28-$40 for the 8000FC foil & cutter assembly (you can't buy the foil separately), this product has become way too expensive to maintain. I'm going to take a clue from CR, which rated the Remington Microscreen a best-buy in Jun 08, and try the Remington. Hopefully it won't nickel-and-dime me to death.

Summary: Not Worth It
Comment: The Braun 8995 sure looks fancy and a few reviews led me to believe that I would recieve a super close shave. Although that is not the case at all. I would say it worked a little better when it was new. I have had it for 10 months and I can honestly say it does not give me any closer shave than my $40.00 Norelco. The blade is recommended for replacement at 18 months. So that shouldn't be the problem. Looks can definetly be decieving. I would not definetly not recommend this unit. Oh and the cleaninhg unit does not improve the closeness of the shave. I am not impressed. A waste of good money.

Summary: electric shaver
Comment: works good, cuts close. if you wait for your facial hair to grow long, it still cuts it, but it also pulls.

Summary: Braun 8995 360
Comment: Excellent product. I took advantage of the prior reviews at Amazon to check this shaver's quality among previous purchasers and agree that it performs as recommended. Close shaves, ease of handling and the cleaning feature is rather unique to this class of shaver. I would also recommend this product to future customers. My previous shaver was a Norelco, which was good but over the years it loss its battery's ability to recharge and it was time to buy a new one. A deciding feature for me was also the fact that you can't over charge this brand of shaver versus the Norelco, where over charging does damage the battery. I considered another Norelco but given the excellent reviews of this Braun, I bought it instead. I believe this product offers closer shaves than my previous brand as a result of the finer shaving head and the thinness of the foil. Packs easy for travel and can be charged with or without the cleaning container when traveling.

Summary: Best of the lot
Comment: A local TV station did a test of all men's electric razors, Braun, Panasonic, Norelco, etc., and the panel rated this 360 shaver as the best of all for closest most comfortable shave. The test lasted 3 weeks and was judged as producing the closest shave, and comfortable.
