4.0 out of 5 stars
Small and spunky! (What the heck does that mean?), March 29, 2005
This review is from: Braun PocketGo P-70 Men's Shaver (Health and Beauty)
Please note... I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because -- like any electric shaver I've ever owned -- it misses some hairs. The other reviewer is correct... you might have to use a razor on occasion to get 'em all. If you're familiar with electric shavers, you probably know exactly what we're talking about.
Having said that, I think it does as good a job as any other electric shaver I've owned. And I've spent a lot more than 10 or 11 bucks on those.
Bottom line: I like it and recommend it.
I use it as a travel shaver. It's "spunky" because it's battery powered. My rechargable starts to slow down after a couple of uses and, of course, needs to be charged. This one really has some energy and so far I haven't worn down the batteries. Battery life seems good since I'd be recharging by now with my other shaver.
You might want to carry a couple of extra batteries with you when you're traveling. But consider this... the shaver itself is self-contained. You don't have to carry a recharging cord (you don't need access to an outlet) and it flips around into it's own "case" so there's no case or pouch to carry around. As such, it's a good, very compact Braun shaver (with trimmer) and you sure can't beat the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I can't believe I'm writing a review for an electric shaver..., April 11, 2008
This review is from: Braun PocketGo P-70 Men's Shaver (Health and Beauty)
This bad boy is really awesome. I kid you not. I had to live out of a suitcase for approximately forty days a little less than a year ago. Since I was in transit and my previous shaver had more or less run itself down, I opted insetad to buy this puppy. Thinking, naturally, that if it lasted me a month it will have still been a sound investment as it was priced so incredibly low.
That was ten months ago.
I use it every day.
Every. Day.
And have changed the batteries once.
Ten months. Every day. One battery swap.
That is all.

Not an electric shaver person, but.., September 2, 2005
This review is from: Braun PocketGo P-70 Men's Shaver (Health and Beauty)
I usually use a blade for shaving but needed an electric for those days when I either was too pressed for time to shave at home or had a evening meeting and needed a touch-up. I bought a Braun Wet/Dry Model "whatevermodelnumber". As luck would have it, a free Braun 370 was offered as a bonus. That was 4 years ago. I can't tell you where in my office the expensive (and mediocre) shaver is. The 370 does a consistantly better job. I am buying another so as to have one at my satellite office.
