Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This electric razor has a head that oscillates from side to side at high speed and pivots to adjust to the face's contours. In addition, the razor offers a three-stage cutting system and delivers a smooth shave either with or without a cord. The razor has a pop-up trimmer for mustache and sideburns and works worldwide on 110- to 240-volt systems. It recharges fully in one hour for 60 minutes of shaving time or charges in three minutes for a quick shave. The three-stage cutting system consists of a cutting block between two foils, with each unit performing individually as the razor runs across the face. For difficult shaving areas, such as under the nose, the pivoting head locks into position. The shaver carries a 30-day, full-refund guarantee and a two-year warranty against defects (foil and cutter block excluded). --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough Beard, sensitive face, No Problem!, October 23, 2001

By

This review is from: Braun 6520 Flex Integral Ultra Speed Rechargeable Shaver (Health and Beauty)

After reading the reviews at Amazon.com and at a site that reviews electric razors, I choose the Braun 6520. It was rated high and its price was half of the leading razor. I also crossed check the price against other retailers and Amazon.com was [less expensive] and shipped one day sooner.

I have a tough beard that grows fast coupled with a tender face. My Remington 300 was the first razor to allow me to use an electric shaver and make it through the day without looking like a beatnik; however, after 5 years the screens are impossible to find so it was time for a new shaver. The new Braun came as advertised and was charged up the very first time in only 4 hours versus 14 for my old 300. The charged and low charge lights are handy and the ability to charge a dead razor for a shave in 3 minutes is a great advantage. I have found in the past that a preshave liquid improves the closeness of the shave and that has been true with the Braun as well. By the third day my face had adjusted to the shaver and I am getting the closest shave ever with no skin irritation. The shaver also does a great job with neck hairs and the occasional long hair. One significant reason that I selected this razor was the changing of the screen and cutters at 18 months. My old 300 required a screen or screen/cutter replacement every 6 months so this saves $30 over that 18 month period. When selecting a razor be sure to pay attention to this or any "self-cleaning" liquids that you have to purchase on a regular basis. The 6520 uses a floating head but is switchable to lock the head for hard areas like under the nose. I found that I still get the best shave by moving my hand against the grain of the hair before I run the shaver there and you will want to shave against the grain too. This was required with my old 300 and is indicative of most foil razors. This is not required of rotary shavers but most research that I read indicates that a foil provides a closer shave.

I am very happy with this razor. It works great!

5.0 out of 5 stars This shaver rocks!, November 12, 2000

Talk about a smooth shave. The blades are close enough to your face to remove your stubble and give a very close shave, but the guard blocks any possibility of discomfort to your face.

I highly recommend this shaver. It is the best I have ever used!

5.0 out of 5 stars Braun 6520 Shaver Review, October 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Braun 6520 Flex Integral Ultra Speed Rechargeable Shaver (Health and Beauty)

1- This shaver is far superior to the Norelco rotary head shaver. It shaves quicker and closer and has a better trimmer. (I am comparing a new Braun with a new Norelco.) It also has far fewer parts to clean than the rotary head Norelco. Cleaning the Norelco WAS A CHORE! The battery capacity is about the same in terms of number of shaves per charge. I suspect the battery lifetime will also be about the same, e.g., 4-6 years. The Braun is lighter and feels better in the hand. The norelco has a better traveling case though- it fits into my toilet travel case easier. The ultra high speed feature of the Braun is a must. If you want to shave quicker one tends to move the shaver rapidly across the beard area usually resulting in a poor shave with the Norelco thus requiring another pass which takes more time. Not so with the ultra speed Braun. I would recommend the ultra speed Braun models (6000 or above) to anyone.
