Received as a gift in response to criticism of my previous shaver. My beard grows in all directions and I have sensitive skin that can bleed after using certain types of shavers. As I've aged it seems my beard growth has changed and my previous wet/dry shaver was taking an awful lot longer (despite a new cutting head) and simply not cutting where it once was. The Braun is billed as 'sensitive' and so far it performs really well. It's fair to say that although I'm left a slight feeling of soreness I have no other signs of irritation and my beard growth is easy dealt with. Early days but the signs are very promising. Overall good value especially when comparing future parts prices.
Choosing between Series 5, 6 or 7 I think I made the right choice.
