The new ones seemed to feature 5 elements vs 4, when in fact the SkinGuard element was present on the older ones as well, only that it wasn’t explicitly mentioned or touted as being an actual shaving element (it’s not).

Some users were wary of Braun’s claim (and for good reason) since Titanium usually has a matte gray color. Moreover, one of the highlights of the new 93xx/94xx/95xx models is their increased battery capacity of up to 60 minutes of cordless use. Due to its versatility, durability and affordability stainless steel production continues to increase around the world year after year. For Series 9 Users: Upgrade your Series 9 with the ProLift trimmer helping to capture and cut more hair thanks to its innovative geometry – 30% wider opening and 35% thinner tips vs. As mentioned previously, I actually prefer the matte finish on the Series 9 models to the chrome coating because it won’t show scuffs, fine scratches, and smudges as easily.

I never use the station after every shave though; I usually do 3 manual cleanings before putting the razor through an automatic cleaning cycle. If so, that would mean I could not stick it in the charger right away if my assumption on the dry shaver into the cleaning station is correct? For example, the 9291cc and 9297cc are (usually) sold in Europe, but they’re identical to the 9290cc, which used to be the most popular Series 9 model in the USA until it was gradually phased out. I’ve been using my 9090cc since December 2016 with the head oriented in the original configuration (with the blue trimmer closer to the front of the shaver).

Why are the Braun recommendations the same (18 months) regardless of method of use, when the reality is that wet use (as with DE wet/foam shaving) results in a quickly dulling blade from water minerals and added blade friction. In my last three shaves I feel burns during shaving specially when going to shave the area between my nose and lips and my neck.You can refer to the table above with all the popular Series 9 to see what type of case you’ll be getting.

I actually emulate this with pretty much all foil shavers that have an asymmetrical arrangement of the cutting elements (like the Panasonic Arc 4 for example) by holding the razor with the front facing up to see if I notice any significant difference in how it shaves. Precisely, the gold trimmer has a larger gap between the two rows of teeth which are also recessed a bit. Ultimate precision even on tricky hair: Built-in precision Pro Trimmer, enhanced with surgical-grade steel, gives maximum cutting efficiency even on moustache, sideburns and under nose. Overall I think Braun handled the initial cassette situation quite poorly — the lack of effective communication, no official information regarding the potential problems of the old Series 9 cassettes, no statement regarding the shortage of replacement heads.Important: in this context, the word PRO only refers to the cleaning stations and it’s different from the Pro in the 2021 Series 9 Pro shavers. These stainless steel alloys offer moderate to good corrosion resistance and remain magnetic after hardening. Precisely, every model in the original Series 9 family starts with 90: 9090cc, 9095cc, 9093s, and so on. So the difference between the original and the 92 cassettes comes down to color and maybe reliability — the original cassettes have been known to fail suddenly. There are times like traveling where I may not want to pack the cleaning station but will still need to charge the shaver.
