Performance
Unique to the Braun 790cc is their Pulsonic technology which registers the thickness of your facial hair then automatically adjusts the intensity of their 10,000 micro-vibrations appropriately to catch more hair with minimum strokes.
Exclusive to the Braun Series 7 are the 3 customization ways which allow you to custom tailor the shaving depth to the sensitivity of your skin in various regions of your face, minimizing the risks of cutting and irritation for optimum comfort.
The shaving performance is outstanding on the whole, providing a good close cut without pain or soreness in any regions of your face. Because of the pivoting shaving mind, manoeuvrability is outstanding with the shaver adapting well to your facial contours.
Clean & Renew System
Cleaning the Braun 790cc couldn't be simpler thanks to Braun's Clean & Renew System. After shaving, just place the shaver into the washing mechanism and press the start button, then it'll clean, lubricate and completely charge the shaver in one go. Due to the cleaning solution being alcohol-based it means that 99.999% of bacteria are removed during the cleanup process. Assessments performed by Braun have shown that utilizing the Clean & Renew program is 10x more hygienic than manually cleaning the shaver under simple tap water.
If you're in a rush, the FastClean method will clean the shaver in only 25 seconds, that is very impressive. This shaver comes with 1 washing cartridge with the purchase to start you off. This lasts for 1 month if you are using it on a regular basis.
Cleaning
If the cost of purchasing cleaning cartridges is puts you off or you desire to take the shaver with you when traveling, you have the option of washing the shaver by hand. The first approach to physically washing the razor involves removing the razor foil and utilizing the provided washing solution to remove any tiny hairs and stubble. The second approach requires turning on the razor then operating it under hot regular water, after which you’d need to remove the foil and simply allow it to dry. You should be able to accomplish both these techniques to ensure the shaver is thoroughly and hygienically cleaned.
Charge Time
Like what you would come to expect from most high-end shavers, the recharging times are minimum which means you’ll not have to keep it plugged in over night. A 1-hour gives you around 50 minutes cordless shaving. If you are in a hurry, a 5-minute charge provides you with enough power for just one shave.
Conclusion
The Braun Series 7 790cc Pulsonic Shaver is an outstanding addition to the Series 7 line-up. Its elegant style coupled with its advanced technology and cleaning system allow it to be well suited for those looking for a men’s foil razor which gives them ease of use and a comfortable, close shave. The only drawback is that it doesn’t cut quite as close as a wet razor (but you don’t have all those razor cuts and burn either), however for speed and convenience the Braun 790cc comes out on top.
