My previous Braun shaver lasted 20 years. So when it finally died recently, I had to look for another Braun. Here's what I like about the M-90: (1) it's relatively inexpensive, (2) it's flat, compact and lightweight so that it packs well for travel, (3) it seems to be well-made and all of the parts work well together, (4) the two included AA alkaline batteries lasted four months of daily use, which was a pleasant surprise (still, I would recommend getting a set of low self-discharge batteries, such as the Sanyo Eneloop).
My only reservations are (1) the foil cannot capture the few stray hairs that have grown long or have curled over, though I suspect this is a common problem with the foil design (I just bring along a disposable shaver to tackle this problem) (2) the foil screen on my previous Braun cracked and had to be replaced every couple of years, so I'll wait to see if Braun has made the screen more durable.
If you want a shaver for daily light trim and beard maintenance while traveling, then I would highly recommend the Braun M-90. It's a fine example of good design.
UPDATE: See my second reservation above. The original foil screen cracked after about a year of daily use. I'm not too surprised (still disappointing though), BUT a single replacement foil costs $13 including shipping. That's a third of the cost of the M-90. Frankly, I'm tired of this problem in the wide foil design. I wonder whether the floating head design would be more durable.

As caveats, I would describe my beard density as significantly below average and I have fairly sensitive skin. I have generally shaved with a double bladed razor in the past, but I have had problems with irritation of my neck. This little shaver comes fairly close to a razor shave on the face and is, on a whole, better on the neck, with significantly less irritation. I have taken to keeping one at work and another in my gym bag.

I'm a fan of this device; though, I had my suspicions that this product would not cut the...hairs on my face:
1. Battery Life- this thing has delivered 5 powerful shaves on the same batteries. And, I know what you're thinking "that doesn't sound like a lot..." Right? Well just think about how little you know about how intensive my shaves are. I go over my face for about 10 minutes to maintain this smooth baby face. Next, I want you to think about how often you shave: once a day? ...You'll get a business week's worth of a smooth face for one set of batteries. Any less? You get the idea.
2. Utility- "Am I going to be able to trim an unsightly strip of freakishly long sideburn hairs with the M90?" That was me asking myself a question about this product before I bought it. Now, I can answer truthfully with "Yes." Now, to be fair, I don't know if everyone will find the same utility in this shaver, but I'M ABLE TO TRIM MY NOSE HAIRS WITH THIS THING. Yeah, I've got a medium-large size nose. What about it?
3. Price- Just kidding... I wasn't worried about the price.
Conclusion: I feel good about owning this shaver; and, I feel good that I didn't pay more money than I needed to. It's the ultimate travel shaver that I've found.

This item is great for when you have that little bit of morning stubble. It takes absolutely everything off and leaves a nice smooth feeling. Cleaning is also easy, just rinse the entire head under running water while it is on and then remove cap and clean the row of razors with the small cleaning device that is attached on the bottom of it. The entire shaver is very cool and sleek, great design!
The only flaw is that if you wait too long to use this, and you get hairs that are more than 2mm long, that is where the shaver suffers. It will only get a little more than half of those longer hairs. You can use a regular razor for those hairs though and then go back to this shaver as they come back the next day.
There is also a small trimmer on the side of the shaver (see picture) that is great for cutting long hairs. It is so small though that I'm afraid I might break it when I try to force it out of the side and back in when I am done with it.

I wanted to get the PocketGo P-70, but it seems like that is no longer manufactured. So, I picked up this little shaver. I tried it once so far, and it felt fantastic. My old shaver was defunct, and pulled hairs like a maniac, but this one glides so nice and easily, I could barely tell it was shaving at all. (Save for the high-pitched whirring noise).
I'm only giving it four stars right now because there was one stray hair on my cheek. I ran the shaver over it furiously several times to pick it off. It took a good 4-5 run overs, but once I found the proper angle, I was able to get it.
In short, it's great, and I have no doubt it is as good as the P-70. Just make sure you give your chin a quick runover before stopping your shaving routine!

I got this little shaver to keep at my office for touch ups or to use if I missed the morning shave. It works well for this and actually shaves closely. I did NOT buy it as a primary daily shaver and I would not recommend it for that - especially for those wire-tough beards out there. Priced well for what it designed for. It will not replace the shaver designed for heavy every day use. You get what you pay for!

Portable and reliable. This was a duplication of an old shaver for my second home. I still have one I bought years ago.
Glad to find it again.

Braun was legendary in making portable electric shavers. although it may not have the iconic status that it enjoyed in its heyday, we can only hope those days are back!

Awesome, especially for the price
I travel every week and just tossed this shaver in my backpack. The swiveling cover is awesome since it isn't a cover that can easily fall off in my bag. Read more
