Braun Series 6 Electric Shaver for Men with Precision Trimmer, Wet & Dry, UK 2 Pin Plug, 60-B1200s, Blue Razor

Product Information

If you’re looking for a cleaning station for your Series 6, you would need to buy the following item: Braun 81697132 (aka Type 5434). I’m not exactly sure I understand the last part of your comment, could you please elaborate a bit on that? Initially released exclusively to the USA and Canada markets, these shavers are now available in Europe as well. If you shave daily or every other day and the shaver is within your budget, then it’s a good option. But, if you have coarse growth or like to grow for three days or more before shaving, then this Series 6 might not do the job well enough or take a little too long to keep clearing up leftover patches. Thank you for the in-depth review. I am looking to buy my first dry shaver and actually do not require many fancy features. I only require that it is good for sensitive skin and do want that it shaves efficiently without stressing the skin too much. Also, I do not have a lot of growth of beard overall, so I am wondering whether I would require the more expensive current or better older versions or whether a Series 6 or so would suffice for my uses. I only need to shave every second or third day or so. Thus, I also do not want to spend too much on just a razor. Reply

Sorry to hear about the disappointing experience, Steve. I feel the same way about the new Series 7 and I tried to express this as clear as possible in this post and in the direct comparison to the previous generation. In my opinion, the older one is superior in every way, at least with regard to performance. Reply Clean and charge station: it’s made in Ireland. It looks quite identical to other Braun cleaning stations, however, it’s got a fan inside with a button to select the functions as clean or charge. Literarily, it gives you two options as either just clean the shaver or to charge it only.I am happy that the trimmer is an attachment and it can stay in the box because it provides little to no trimming assistance. Maybe Braun has found that these trimmers are nearly useless, and they’re testing out making shavers like the Series 6 SensoFlex non-attached.

Thank you for the comment, much appreciated. Hope you’ll enjoy shaving with your new Series 6. Just take your time, especially during the first few shaves as you’re switching from a rotary to a foil razor. Just like with the Series 7 above, there are more global/European Series 6 models and have different names, but they are basically the same. Was looking for an update/upgrade for my old S3 3010S and noticed a S5 50-B1200S for only 60€, your review shows why it’s selling at half price. I also believe this is all related to cost cutting which is sad for end users. I rather pay slightly more but get a high end product with all the useful features same as Braun iconic model Syncro 7680.

The shaver did seem to struggle somewhat and left quite a lot of leftovers where I had to shave over the same spot when I shaved with three days of growth. However, it was nothing major and was soon cleaned up when I noticed the unshaven parts. Awesome review as always, Dave. Thank you for taking the time to write a follow-up. I agree, the battery life is fantastic. Electric razor with SensoFlex: the dermatologically tested swivel head adapts to minimize skin pressure for sensitive skin That would be impossible to tell just from the product listing as you can’t rely on the accuracy of the information. Also, many stores simply list the 7790cc as 790cc. Unless you have the confirmation from the vendor, it would probably be safer to get the 7865cc. But just keep in mind that the 7865cc will not work while charging. For me that’s not a big deal as I always shave cordless, but it seems to matter to others. blades makes this shaver work very well on a short beard, obviously something bigger would require trim first. And I think the highlight of this model is attachable trimmer - very sharp and very easy to use, giving you ability to precise trimmings.

Braun Series 6 Electric Shaver for Men with Precision Trimmer

The launch of a new Series 7 is undoubtedly a big deal for Braun; the original Series 7 was arguably their best-selling electric razor of the past 10 years, so the hype around this particular series is not surprising. In my earlier review, I noted that the case is not a hard plastic case but rather some sort of plastic cloth case without vents. This has indeed become a bit of an issue since it collects dust and dirt, in particular stubble. Even though I most often rinse the razor every day after use, there are rare occasions where I don’t have time or the water to do that. The case has collected a bit of dust/stubble and it doesn’t clean easily nor well. It takes some effort to clean it and even then it doesn’t clean well. Using it this morning, my first impression was that it was very comfy on the face. Glides smoothly, feels great. I generally shave dry, with Lectric Shave preshave. The 6072 is indeed more comfortable than my previous rotary shavers. Also, it definitely shaves closer than they do. Prior to going electric, I was an old-school double-blade razor user. With that, I did the 3-pass method – lather, shave with the grain, lather again, shave across the grain, lather again, shave against the grain. That method gives an amazingly close shave, but is ridiculously time consuming. Some days, I’d only do 1 of the 3 passes. That was a less close but still very nice shave. My impression of day 1 of the 6072cc is that it’s very close to the 1-pass with the blade, and I am impressed. I never got that close with the rotary.The box states that you will receive 50 minutes of shaving time, but I found after timing my shaves that I am consistently getting over 60 minutes, with a the longest being 74 minutes. This was a pleasant surprise! Thank you for the comment. The difference in power is noticeable indeed between the Series 5 and 7. That’s a great price for a barely used S7, so enjoy shaving with it. 🙂 The Series 7 is the most powerful of these new 2020 models; it is especially noticeable when compared side by side with the Series 6 and 5. Another great feature is that it is made in Germany and not communist China, although strangely the box mentions that it is engineered in Germany but does not mention where it is manufactured. The models available in Europe are again the same performance-wise, but the accessories and colors will vary.
