Product Information

However, the cleaning reminder will appear annoyingly fast — even after letting the shaver run for a minute, so it’s fairly useless. Paint flaking can happen with constant alcohol exposure from the cleaning center, although again I personally have only experienced it with a Series 7. The new Series 9 93xx shavers also come in two flavors (just like their predecessors): solo (models ending in s like 9340s) and Clean & Charge models (the ones ending in cc like the 9385cc, 9390cc, 9395cc, etc.).

It’s not uncommon to experience a shortage of replacement parts for a new product like the Series 9, especially since there isn’t an immediate need for those parts, at least in theory.There are many questions about the new generation Braun Series 9 shavers, and the most focused question is how efficient the performance is. Note: Clean the shaver thoroughly/place the device into clean&charge station after using it with shaving cream, soap, gel or other liquids. Advanced Clean & Charge Station: Also, the 9385 is so quiet, that I can actually hear what’s going on around me while shaving. This might sound odd, but with the Series 7 I could barely have it next to my ear because the machine was so loud, most likely due to a shaving head going bad and the motor itself rattling loose, and funny enough, the exact same days as I got the 9385, the S7 broke in the shaver head so that I could not replace it, so the 9385 really came when needed most. You’ll sometimes find them under the part numbers 81687142 and 81759573, respectively. Both will work with a Solo 93xxs, 94xxs or 95xxs. But the new generation Braun series 9 shaver provides 60 minutes of continuous shaving with a full charge.

It basically selects between a short, normal, and intensive cleaning mode (indicated by one, two, or three droplet symbols on the station). On the other hand, the only rival Panasonic arc5 features a bulky head for having 5 blades at a time, whereas the Braun’s one looks and feels smarter.

What’s in the box?

When I first saw that the cc station has a different part number, I was convinced that this was taken care of. I was wrong apparently. But yes, if you want to use it wet, it will work great. Keep in mind though that you’ll have to clean it manually of lather/foam or soap residues before using the cleaning station. Hair trimmer

And that’s a good thing because strictly regarding how it actually shaves, the Series 9 has always been an excellent performer. Cleans and charges on demand - A shaver like new every day. The Clean&Charge station selects your cleaning program automatically, cleans hygienically, lubricates, dries and charges your shaver at the touch of a button. Just apply a couple of drops of lubricating oil on the foils and turn the device on to lubricate the blades after thorough manual cleaning. Throughout the review, I tried to emphasize that except for the larger battery, the 9385cc/9390cc doesn’t really bring any significant improvements over the previous Series 9. They come with an updated shaving head (cassette) and all the models are suitable for wet & dry use.

If you use the station, the cleaning solution also lubricates the blades, so there’s no need for you to do it. The ongoing S9 models were already very good in that regard, so the 93xx generation should be even better. I did have a look at the “Braun Series 9 Model Comparison: What Are The Differences?” again and I could see that for some reason I have unfortunately overlooked the great comparison chart that you have made with all the comparison between the 93xx (and 92xx and 90xx models). After reading the chart I can see that the 9385cc is THE model I will go for. The second real novelty brought by the 9385cc/9390cc and all the other new Series 9 models is a slightly larger battery.

Braun emphasized the digital display on the shaver and improved with lighting colour and functionalities. With the 9385cc, there are basically no changes and the S9 continues to be one of the best out there in that regard.

That is true, rotary shavers still have an advantage in some very specific situations, but some of the current foil shavers like the Series 9 and Series 9 Pro have closed the gap.
