    Braun Series 9 9390cc cleaning station stopped working - troubleshooting help

    Welcome, Paul. I've never had my cleaning station die suddenly, but definitely check the connection to the cleaning station and to the razor. Similarly, where my earbuds fit in the charging case, they sometime get gummed up to the point where it's like they're not in the case at all, and they're...

    Philips Norelco OneBlade - overhyped or actually worth it?

    Do I really need to replace foils every year?

I changed the cutter/comb set on my Philishave HQ5401 a few years ago more out of curiosity than any reduction in...

    Anyone else think electric shaving gets way too complicated these days?

    Carl, welcome aboard. I agree with you. I think the best thing to happen to electric razors was rechargeable batteries. Anything beyond that, I feel, are simply bells and whistles. Cleaning stations are nice, too, but I prefer to clean my razors by hand.

    Nickel allergy and electric razors - safe options?

    Alex, welcome aboard; from what I understand, Panasonic generally uses hypoallergenic materials in their higher-end models like the Arc5 and Arc6 series. The Japanese stainless steel they use is typically nickel-free or has very low nickel content. Braun also claims their Series 9 models use...

    Dave, congratulations on the new baby! You're definitely not alone, as lots of new dads go through the same thing with their routines changing significantly. No one electric razor works for everyone. Factors such as hair type, skin sensitivity, and face shape all play a role here in terms of...

    Logo

    I'm trying a rotating logo thing for the next little while. The logo you see today is one I had designed in 2021 with a slight modification from the original. And remember that the contest to win an Electric Razor Rap hoodie is still on. The first person to contact me via private message with...

    Electric Shaver Market to Reach $32.55 Billion by 2030 - Industry Report

    Thanks for sharing your perspective and the kind words about Electric Razor Rap. Your point about electric razor companies pushing cordless razors over corded razors for safety reasons makes a lot of sense - liability issues around wet shaving with mains-powered devices is definitely a real...

    Panasonic Arc5 vs Braun Series 9 - 6 months with both, here's my take

    Welcome aboard, Derek. I have tried the Braun Series 9 Pro, but not the Arc5. What you say about the Arc5 is interesting, and as mentioned, I have plans to buy one. Posts like yours make me look forward to trying the Arc5 more and more.
