Braun vs Panasonic for tough hair - personal experience needed

I've got really thick, coarse facial hair and I'm getting tired of my current setup not cutting through it efficiently. Takes me forever to get a decent shave and I end up going over the same areas multiple times, which is frustrating as hell.


I've narrowed it down to either a Braun Series 9 or a Panasonic Arc5, but I want to hear from people who actually have experience with tough, wiry hair like mine. The marketing specs only tell you so much, and I need real-world feedback from guys dealing with similar challenges.


For context, my hair is thick enough that it clogs up most razors pretty quickly, and it grows in different directions on my neck which makes it even more challenging. I need something with serious cutting power that won't bog down halfway through a shave. Both of these razors are expensive, so I want to make sure I'm picking the right tool for the job.


Which one handles thick hair better without pulling or tugging? How's the maintenance with hair that tends to clog things up? And honestly, is the price difference between these two worth it for my situation? I'm willing to spend the money if it means getting through my morning routine faster and more effectively.


Anyone with similar hair challenges have real-world experience with either of these?

I don't have really thick hair but on specs alone I would go for the Panasonic. Braun has a motor speed around 10000. The Panasonic has 13000. The more powerful motor should cut quicker with less/no tugging
