Product Information

That is correct, the Series 8 is marginally better than the Series 5 and if you can find one that costs less, it would make more sense to choose it over a similarly specced Series 5. The problem I have with this product is its claim that you should swap the replacement head after 18 months. The Series 7 had a badly designed locking mechanism that would simply break when you tried to move the head from the locked position. Sorry to hear you weren’t satisfied with the performance of your shaver — apart from the cassette availability issue and maybe a hint of false advertising, the Series 8 is actually a good shaver and most users so far have been pleased with it. Once you’ve finished shaving, remove the cassette and gently tap the plastic frame on your sink or countertop to remove most of the hairs.

But my main gripe with it is that the blades just seem dull and require multiple strokes to cut the hairs, especially the ones that lie flat on the skin. This is in my opinion one of the main highlights of the shaver and a clear improvement over most other shavers in Braun’s lineup.It’s not a huge difference, but I could tell there was something off after years of using the Series 7.

It’s immediately obvious that the shaving head of the Series 8 is pretty much identical to the ones of the Series 5 and 7. I got a brand new Braun series 8 and just noticed that the cassette release button is ONLY working on one side.The Series 8 doesn’t have any speed settings, instead it’s fitted with a beard density sensor, but I never noticed it at work as in the case of Panasonic shavers. ps this is my 4th Braun razor over the last 20 years and I love them, but I would enjoy it more if I could understand and use all the features they say it has. As you can see from the table, some of the cc models that come with a station have three cleaning programs (short, medium, intensive), while most of them only have one. The cleaning function works very well though; it’s just a bit annoying to have the three icons there that never light up and serve no function.
