- This Braun Shaver Series 9 | 9295 cc electric shaver is the nicest shaver I have ever owned.
Pros:
- It cuts really well and leaves my skin smooth. It didn't take many passes on the same spot to get a smooth shave.
- It didn't pull any of my hairs when I was shaving
- It comes with a hard travel case (forgot to show on video)
- The unit is light and the LED indicators are nice to see where the charge is at
- The charging and cleaning station is easy to use
Cons:
Charging and cleaning station is large and you may not have sink space to permanently leave it on there.

![Top 5: Best Electric Shavers 2024 [don’t buy one before watching this]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/oSK4DyIB3HE/mqdefault.jpg)
Excellent video about this shaver. I bought the Braun 9 and have had it a couple of weeks and didn't want to use it before I knew all the features and how to use the cleaner. I glanced at the user manual but decided a CZcams video would be better. I found Mr. Wong's video and it was all I needed. I like his style. Well-thought out video. I'm now a subscriber.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. Happy Shaving
This was very helpful. I bought this shaver based on your review. Thank you!
I like Braun...I still have a series 5 from 2012... still runs great but now it's time to upgrade... nice review, helped me out a lot!
I have a series 7 760. never had any issues with my shaves. I love this thing. Looking to get a series 9 now
i got the series 7 basically the same thing i love it cant believe how good it works
Thanks Chris for responding! I almost pulled the trigger on the series 7 if the Series 9 wasn't on such a great sale during Amazon Prime! How long have you had yours? Have you replaced the shaving head yet?
@@TheWongReviewer ive had mine a year or so and replaced the blade once i really like it
@@accelement3499 That's good to know. I was trying to figure out how often I need to replace the blade.
Excellent video. Thank you.
I like Terry’s beard on you! I’ve had a series 7 for years, it’s been a great shaver also!
Lol. I need to do a beard transplant. It's good to know that the Braun series is going to last me for many years based on your Series 7 experience.
Series 7 is way better then the 9
Thanks, I just bought mine and learned a thing or two about the product after your review. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I came from the 7 series with 2 or 3 years of use. I enjoyed it so much, I thought I'd get the newest model instead of getting a new blade. Never going back to a razor.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you're using it. I"m actually going to be doing a 6 month follow up review in the next 2 weeks.
Great video, mate!
Thank you for the feedback. Appreciate it! Happy Shaving!
Just a heads up for anyone new to electric shaving.
Switching from a cartridge shaver to an electric takes some time to adjust. Your 1st few runs will probably irritate your skin and or the shaver might leave some little hairs behind. Best thing that works, for me, is to wash your face, dry, and apply an electric pre shave. Take your time and do not apply excessive pressure. Just glide the shaver over your face while applying minimal pressure and stretch your skin taut. After about a week of daily use your face will adjust and it should start to get easier
This is excellent advice! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks! Which pre-shave oil are you using?
@@stevesulea4968 so i started with Lectric shave but that leaves your face oily. I have used Afta pre electric shave and it works really well except the scent is so strong. 5he scent smells old school and it lingers about 2 hours after shaving. Right now I'm using Eltron parks pre/aft electric shave and this one works well for me. The fragrance is masculine but very subtle and leaves my skin soft after shaving
@@stevesulea4968 Hi there. I just use regular face soap prior to shaving.
A wise combination of the old REMINGTON head trimmer bars (2), with two classic BRAUN foils.
Thanks for the feedback ! I really like using this shaver. It’s such a clean shave.
That thing would be great for long business trips.
You're right.. once we get past COVID! I need a vacation!
How often do you need clean it while shaving your head and face? I’m new to electric shaving and just got the Braun series 9. Thank you for the video
The amount of rude comments about your facial hair on here is just absurd. You’re great the way you are and this was a good video.
Thank you for the positive feedback. I appreciate it. I am going to be doing a 6 month review video next month and talk about my experience so far.
As of for the rude comments, lately, i've been getting a lot of troll and hate comments on my other videos. Anyways, it was refreshing to get a positive comment, you made my day. Thank you.
@@TheWongReviewer my pleasure, dude, I enjoyed the vid! If you still find issues with the machine “biting” around the lip area, I find tucking in your lips really tightly helps pull them out of the way and shapes the part above your lips into a more shaver-friendly curve. Of course this will vary face to face. Looking fwd to the 6 month review!
Master Wong,
Thank you! I found out about this model from Dwayne Johnson. My wife ordered it for me should arrive tomorrow or the next day.

If you're traveling with that, do you have to bring that huge chunky base complete with the not-travel-friendly solution at the bottom? Or will the cord attach directly to the shaver for travel purposes?
Hi there. Great question and I missed that in my review. My apologies. You can plug the ac adapter cord right into the shaver itself. You don’t need to bring that brick of a base.
great question!!
Hi, This was helpful because I got mine from costco without very good/complete instructions. One question is how does the cleaning station itself get cleaned?
Hi there. Thanks for the feedback. Great question on how to get the cleaning station clean. I never thought of it and I tried to look it up with no info. I'll try and see if I can open it up and clean it myself.
I've had my Braun series 9 for two or three years - have you guys noticed that the cleaning station does not work? it's not like the previous model, the top just gets full of whiskers.
Braun is also one of the most difficult to clean, which is why I went with the Panasonic Arc 5.
Excellent presentation, by the papers attached, it would had been impossible. You must mention this presentation and buyers will find the information of charging and cleaning the hairs. How often should I wash it ?
How do u like the Panasonic?
Great video, thanks, and I'm so jealous of your minimal 5-day growth. I look like a tramp if I leave it for 5 days.
Thanks for the feedback. It's my Asian genes that keeps it to a minimal growth. LOL.
My series 9 does not dry properly in the cleaning base, it always comes out wet. Any tips? I wish their was an option to select dry like on the Panasonic Shavers.
That is one sexy beard my friend! 150 Canadian sounds like a steal!
Thanks AJ. Unfortunately, my Asian genes prevent me from growing a full sasquatch beard like Terry. You're right, I would be one sexy beast if I could.
I bought one. Everything is nice but I find it too loud. My old philips shaver xl was relatively quite. Might return.
I just did an updated video on my experience after 6 months and my biggest complaint was the noise.
It’s quite finicky in my experience, it’s a really precise shaver, so going over your face too hard will mean the blades tend miss spots. I found the foils work better with softer rolls, so they’ve got chance to pick up shorter grains especially around the jawline and neck.
It also works better if you wash your face thoroughly using cold water beforehand, let your face dry properly then apply a pre-shave oil and wait a few seconds before using the Braun Series 9.
@@thedon2005 Thanks! Just about to purchase. Which pre-shave oil are you using?
It does sound loud! What is louder? Philips 9000 or Brian series 9?
Hi there. Honestly, the Braun Series 9 is louder. I'm also in a very tiny bathroom and has very bad echo. If I was in our master bathroom, i'm sure the sound would be quieter. Good question.
I wet shave with DE razors but do have a Series 5 for shaving my head. The 5 works well but what is the benefit of the 9 over the 5. Curious about the benefits of the 9 over the 5. I cannot seem to get the courage up to take a DE razor to the dome at this point.
Hi Eric. Thanks for the feedback. I managed to find an article that explains the difference between the 5 and 9 here. professionalbarberclippers.com/informational/braun-series-5-vs-7-vs-9/#:~:text=This%20shaver%20has%20an%20additional,better%20adaptation%20on%20the%20skin. It really comes down to how often you shave. For the price point for me personally, when it was on sale the Series 9 is $150 cdn versus $120 for the 5. For the $30 price difference, i opted for the "higher end one". In the long run, honestly, i'm not sure if there will be much of a difference.
Late in game answer, but the 9 Pro is fast for head shaves. I can do 4 days growth in 2-4 minutes. It claims up to 7 days but who knows. For that purpose if your 5 can do that, I might not change.
How do you feel about this 2 years later?
Man, please do not give a damn about people that are putting those rude comments about your facial hair, you look like a good guy and that’s all that matters. And this was one great review, keep it up! Btw I have one question, does it shave your face like a simple razor because I have to be fresh shaved every morning because of company rules where i’m working?
Hi there. thanks for the comments and encouragement. I like to think I look like a good guy. LOL
I would say it doesn't shave as close as a simple razor, however it does pass enough to look "Freshly shaved". Hope that helps.
Hi.. I own a braun series 9 9290cc.
The fifth cutting cutting blade(foil) that's the last one that faces the back side of shaver is actually going downwards than the other blades. Can you please tell me how to fix it. Thank you very much.
Hi there. I looked at my own blade (foil). It look like a clip holds it in place and means yours is probably broken. Looks like you'll have to buy a new foil. sorry man.
@@TheWongReviewer I have already bought a new cassette/foil. In both the older as well as new foil this thing is happening. If you keep your shaver cassette head straight does the last foil that faces back side of shaver gets tilted downwards on right side? Thanks.
How often u need to clean it? Just bought one for my dad & bought pack of 3 extra cleaning solutions.
Hi there. I shave everyday. Every 2 weeks, i take out the head and use the brush to clean it out. Then every month, I use the solution to clean it.
@@TheWongReviewer excellent thank you! Bought one for my dad as presents 🎁. Seems really good!
My series 7 I’ve always put it in the cleaner after every shave. I’m pretty sure that’s what’s recommended.
They want you to buy more solution. @@slbynum
Hi, my question is. After shaving, I wash under water ..then I can put the shaver wet in the cleaning station or I have to wait till he dry?
Hi there. You can put it in right away. Don't have to wait until it's dry.
@@TheWongReviewer , thank you. Another question is. After every shave I have to put in station cleaning or how is the procedure?
@@always1705me For me personally. I do put the shaver back in the cleaning station, but I don’t turn on the clean function. After a week, I take the head off the shaver, clean the inside of it. Every 2 weeks, is when I do the actual cleaning with the solution. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.
It must be dry before putting into cleaning station
But why mine series 9 turns itself on at random time, and scared me at night.
How would you compare this shaver to normal Gillette razor?
Does it hurt while you are shaving ? Is it easy to cut yourself ?
I have never had electric shaver so apologise if the questions are daft 😉
Hi there. I'm a former teacher, so no question is a dumb question. All good. Happy to answer.
The braun series 9 does not hurt at all while shaving. Even after 7 days of not shaving, the electric razor did not pull any of the hairs. It has gaurds on the shaver to prevent actual cuts to your face unlike a gillette razor. No blade physically touches your face.
My braun has a close shave, but it won't be as close as a gilette razor. However, it's close enough for me. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@TheWongReviewer thanks a lot for your quick reply. I may have one more 😉
Do I need to buy cleaning station as well or can I just clean the shaver under water?
Braun series 9 it is on sale now and cost £119 but I think it is without the cleaning station
@@ratihnurmala8650 Honestly, you don’t need the charging station with cleaning solution. I think it’s a bit of a gimmick. If you clean out the head once a week by taking the head off and manually cleaning off the inside of the head, you’ll be fine.
Good review, thanks.
But the shaver and charger are awfully loud.
Thank you for the feedback. Yes, it is loud. I found my philips shaver was louder with a higher pitch.
can we adjust the beard density on it?
Hi there, apology for the delay. No, unfortunately, you can't adjust the blade width if that is what you're asking.
I wounder if quality controll allows inconsistent product quality? Or if you get good money to advertise braun.
Hi there. I don’t get paid by Braun. I paid for this product on my own.
basically , you can buy two to three years worth of razor with that price plus with no worry of technical malfunction and replacing the expensive foil blades and cleaning solution.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree with you. However, i'm just lazy and can't bother whether manually shaving with shaving cream every day. I accept the cost of buying a more expensive shaver due to my laziness.
True, but can you razor shave just anywhere? Running behind on the way to work and shave in the parking lot? I actually like both methods and I like to shave at least every 3 days. That is 120 times in a year. I get bored of the same thing every time and shaving cream. Don't get me wrong because I also razor shave.
You so lucky to only have that much hair only after 5 days
It's my Asian Genes. lol
Thanks! If it's Wong then I don't wont to be right. 🙂
Mine doesn't make the hair cutting grind noise, it's almost as if doesn't cut hair at all, it also looks like you're pressing it hard against your skin, I just glide it over my face. Also, there's no need to use that ugly looking cleaner box, just drop the foil into a very hot water with some dish cleaning liquid every so often.
Thanks for the feedback. Interesting, mine is pretty loud. I just naturally press hard , muscle memory from my previous ones.
Bldes are lifetime ore we must use some special oil
Can you use it while being charged by charging cord?
Hi there. Yes you can. The charging cord plugs directly into the shaver.
@@TheWongReviewer Sorry, but I just got mine and plugged it in. Shows it charging, pressed the on button and nothing happens. Yes, I plugged the cord in direct. Manual is small print so I came here to find out what I am doing wrong and see how to set up this beast. Aloha.
OK. I pressed the on button and a red light comes on. Unplug the unit from the wall, and, the unit works. Plugged it back in, and no go, red light on again. So this will NOT work when plugged into the wall. Not this one, for sure.
Thank you for your reply. This helps alot.
I prefer clean shaven it is unbeatable
Im using 9260s :D
Nice!
can you just clean it with tap water ?
HI there. Yes, you can just tap water to rinse the shaver.
The solution nott only cleans, but also lubricates
for this price im expecting less plastic tbh
If I was paying the full amount, which is $300 Cdn, I would 100% agree with you. Since I pad $150 on sale, i'm okay with the plastic. However, in principle, you're right, higher price should be higher quality of material. I haven't compared other more expensive shavers, so i'm not sure if this is just the industry norm. Thanks for commenting.
Is it waterproof?
You can use it while wet. I have used it with shaving cream and there has been no issues. Just make sure you dry it after you get it wet. If you leave it wet too long, it will start to smell.
@@TheWongReviewer Thank you so much! 😊
ich glaub du brauchst eher ein glatzen rasierer .
What have you owned other then braun series 9. I am not a fan of nicking myself with an electric razor that clogs easily and gives me razor burn Which is why I am not enjoying my braun series 9. I hope this message does not bum you out if you are able to enjoy it thats awesome!
And my remington holds up better like its got more torque , sharper blade and greater will power. Braun starts loud and fast entill you start rubbing it across the face with ny experience.
Glad you have a good experience with Remington. I did own one several years ago and I decided to switch over to phillips.
5 days beard ? Joke right ....that's like about 2 hours after I shaved.good review tho
Thanks for the comment, it’s my Asian genes.
the beard would look good.
I 100% agree
Update after 3 shaves - tried wet as well as dry, up and down, left and right, very slow to slow but if it can’t trim facial hair in an area, it just can’t. For me, it fails on side of my neck. Also, I expect a $200 shaver to save me time every morning and not to increase my shave time. It fails there.
Summary - It is either a hit or a miss. Shaves equal or better than a typical razor where it can shave. I got the best mustache shave ever with this.
Failed miserably on my neck despite multiple tries, both dry as well as wet.
Point is, I bought this to save me time and skin irritation. It reduced the later but I had to spend double the time to shave.
It is going back to store tomorrow. Sorry Braun
German products are the best ❤️🇩🇪
Clean it with water the spray it power air nozzle repeat, repeat..done..
Thanks for the tip. I'm going to have to give it a try.
I own both Braun 9 and Panasonic Arc 5. The Arc 5 is better
Do they shave as fast? I know the arc will be a closer shave. Is there a situation where the Braun is better?
The chromed plastic finish is a travesty, and in my opinion, should be criminalized.
I agree with you. I would've honestly preferred a matte black finish.
Don't sell yourself short my dude. Just by looking at your week old stubble I'd say you could grow a decent beard or at the very least a thick mustache and a goatee. Number 1 rule in growing a beard is being patient and it WILL look awful at first. Just stick with it!
Sorry didn't mean to laugh, but my partner is Asian, and the amount of facial hair he has in a year's time would be like a months growth of mine. No need to spend this amount on these great shavers when you don't have thick, dense beards. Just sayin'!
All good. I had a good laugh at you r comment and understand where your partner is coming from. Appreciate your feedback that cheaper alternatives are out there for Asians who can't grow a beard like myself.
People keep going on about his beard .have you ever seen an Asian with a thick beard ? ? No because most Asians can’t grow a good beard cos it’s part of their genes
I knew it would be a bad review when a hairless man is doing the review.
Thanks for the insightful and positive feedback. Appreciate it.
Claims to have a 5 days beard. What a joke?
Dude, it was meant as a joke on my part... really.. i hope your comment was a joke.
I have this shaver it’s useless it’s over priced rubbish !! I actually bought another one from Aldi it was miles better and cst £20 honestly the series 9 is rubbish
I'm sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience with it. So far, it's worked well for me. Glad you found a cheaper option that works for you.
The Braun Series 9 is one of the best electric shavers on the market...The only 2 electric shavers that come close are the Panasonic Arc 5 and the Phillips Series 9000 Prestige.
I highly doubt doubt that a £20 shaver is “miles better” than the Braun Series 9.
@@thedon2005 I’m afraid it’s trash absolutely rubbish you must be being paid to promote it , there’s one good thing about it and that’s they accept returns
I personally know 2 barbers and they love the Series 9 and use daily at work. Sorry your experience is not a similar one.@@frazzzz1066
