So the 92s, as well as the 92b (black) will fit the 9385cc perfectly fine, so you don’t actually have to get the 92M that originally came with the shaver.

I only use the brush if for some reason I can’t rinse the shaver or I must pack the shaver and don’t have the time to allow it to dry. With Braun shavers, I think most users (myself included) will end up using them dry anyway as they’re already good enough — unlike Panasonic for example where you’ll likely get a more comfortable shave.The very first time I shaved with a Series 9 (one of the older models) I was particularly impressed by how gentle and forgiving the shaver was. As for the 40 000 cutting actions per minute, it simply refers to the fact that the blades oscillate at 10 000 cycles per minute. D Flexible Shaving System – This means the shaving head is mounted on a 10-directional pivoted head that offers adaptability to the contours of the face and skin. In this review, I will run through the important features, test it out while shaving wet and dry, and try it out as a head shaver, although it’s primarily a facial shaver.

Also, on my chin and below the nose my stubble is very dense and thick, so I had to press harder and go over those areas repeatedly and did so with no significant discomfort. I have finally looked up all the shavers I can get in Aus right now – am happy to get dry or wet/dry but can only find wet/dry! The motor is more powerful than any of the other Braun Series, and the cassette has more shaving elements which would naturally bring up the cost of the shaver compared to any of the other Braun series. I have found the s9 has a mechanism that ‘pushpulls’ the foils inward when the head is being swiveled towards the end. This was available with only a few of the current Series 9 generation, but it seems more prevalent with the 93xx models like the 9385cc/9390cc in this review.

This might sound odd, but with the Series 7 I could barely have it next to my ear because the machine was so loud, most likely due to a shaving head going bad and the motor itself rattling loose, and funny enough, the exact same days as I got the 9385, the S7 broke in the shaver head so that I could not replace it, so the 9385 really came when needed most. Problem is, when I put the new shaver into the old cleaning station, it beeps constantly once the battery is fully charged – Every 0. Sometimes I won’t shave for 3-4 days and especially with the very dense hair on the sides and back of my head I fear the Panasonic might struggle.

Regarding the 32bit processor, a potential benefit would be when assessing the density of the beard (during shaving) and adjusting the power of the motor in a more responsive manner. The instructions are clear enough in the manual to discover how it all functions, including the indicator lights and using the charging and cleaning station.Facing the (mine) s9 with the cassette removed, either from the front or behind, the pusher on the left appears to have a stiffer/higher sitting spring underneath. Comfort and lack of skin irritation is a common theme among other users which they appreciated and was more noticeable than other electric shavers they have used.

The battery level indicator features the same 5-bar display, each representing 20% of the battery charge available. In fact, you only need the shaver to run a few seconds before it triggers a cleaning session when you drop it in the station, whether you actually shaved with it or not. I’m used to the Norelco trimmer, and I prefer a trimmer I can replace for a few bucks as opposed to replacing the shaver if the trimmer breaks or dulls.
