I have been having great results using my trustee REMINGTON F-5800 dual foil shaver with the cutters in-between. Gets very close, job is done quickly, and the replacement heads are available for as low as $10-11, with the machine itself costing just $45 at either Walmart or Amazon. The BaBilyss pro foil (silver) however, is by far the best and closest cutting machine I have ever used to date at a higher price point. Thanks for the videos, subbed ....
I wish you would have taken pics of the irritated areas after shaving because I always bump up when using foil shavers! Awesome videos...keep up the good work brother!
Hi! How are you? I'm Brazilian fan and recently tested the philips norelco s9000 prestige and my dad has the braun series 9, both are excellent shavers plus a negative bridge from the foil shavers are the annoying noise and are not good for those who have very sensitive skin. I had the old philips model, but it has no comparison with this new model (prestige), the good points of the foil is that it does not need to make precise movements to shave like the rotary model. I can not say that foils are better than rotators because they both have their positive sides. Lately I'm preferring the rotary model, they are quieter and do not have an annoying noise but you have to know how to use it correctly.
How does this compare to the Series 7? I have the 7, while I think its a solid shaver, but I am not 100 percent satisified with the Series 7. Neck area is a real problem for the Series 7, Also I can get about 80 percent complete with the series 7, other 20 percent I use a regular razor. Thanks!
Appreciate this review. I bought this Thanksgiving day for a steal 149.00 from Bed Bath and Beyond because of a sale plus additional 25% off. I love it. My head is smooth as ever.
SO far what's working for me is balding with my Wahl balding clippers and following it up with the Braun Series 3 to knock down the stubble even further down. No irritation or bumps so far.
Quiz question I got the shaver but am still getting the razor bumps, what could be the problem yet I thought this was going to solve the problems. Help me out.
I wouldn't recommend it. This type of shaver works better with flat skin even skin. Your face and head is pretty much the limit for what this thing can do.
Just get the Braun 7 Series it's cheaper and it cut cloth just like the Braun 9. And the replacement head on the 7 is cheaper. The only thing you going to need to buy is the Andis T liner to cut it first for the long hair, before you use the Braun 7 Series.
How long is "long hair" (head) ? I let mine get maybe 1/16" before shaving(blade); looking for an electric that i can use ,"1--stop-shop" to get near-bald(like 1/32") without having to hit it first with a clipper/trimmer....
I been using the Braun Series 9 for four months. I get those same bumps on the back of my neck. I'm trying to decide. Should I try using a different foil shaver like the Wahl Sensitive Shaver or Use some other method
If you use the Andis Profoil and just lightly apply it to your neck or face it cuts like a dream, its as close to a safety razor as you can get and still be electric. The Braun 9 Series for me was like using a cheap electric lawnmower over really thick grass, it'll cut eventually but it struggles and it doesn't look as good.
@@4nciite doesn't your head hair have to be quite short already (like 1/16" max) before hitting it with the Andis ? I'm looking for a "one-stop-shop" electric shaver that will reliably do that, to get me near bald(doesn't have to be totally bald)
@@tms6565 Yeah it's just a razor, it won't clip hair unfortunately, but I would just go to Ross and pick up Hair Clippers, they have some good ones for around $10.
This will be my next buy,,, I use Babyliss Pro Foil Shaver to keep ontop of my bald dome every 2 days it works fine... To many soppy people giving negative reviews on amazon about this,, it did your head fine and that's good enough for me 👌🏾
This is way better than the Babyliss pro foil mainly because if you buy the model with the clean and renew charge station, the shaver is basically brand new for your next shave after the cleaning cycle is complete. Babyliss pro foil doesn’t have any automatic cleaning feature.
@@mrbabajidee3133 WHat did you get? I think I am going to get the Arc 5. 150 on Amazon plus I have some gift card balance I can apply. I enjoy my Babyiss FX 2, but getting tired of having to use every 2 days or its a struggle. I did get my money's worth though, almost 3 years running.
nice video. you must try the philips s9000 prestige.. they created a monster with that razor, super smooth, better and way much quicker shaving as with the braun.
Was considering this but it cost SO MUCH, Plus whenever I use a eletric razor on my head i tend to get irritation and bumps. Gonna think about this or safety razors, i'm currently using Harrys and it works nice but I shave 2-3 times a week on my head and face.
I have read some bad stories on using Harry's for the head. Harry's advises themselves against head shaving. I tried them out and did not like the design of the blade. Kind of akward for me to use. Love the defender razor. I use it for head and face. I recommend the sensitive skin blades.
If you get a chance try the Phillips series 9000 prestige wet shave with a shaving gel without the irritation bumps nothing just baby soft skin. Just light circular motion & 5 min you’re done. This foil shaver doesn’t do a great job for me also just too many passes to get it done. I returned it.
Hey Andy, are you a black male? Just wondering because I am looking at the razor you are suggesting and I was wondering if it shaves bald. Every time I use an electric razor, It is not close enough. My wife is tired of using clippers on me, lol.
Rich Powell the arch 5 came today and the dry shave was the closest I've gotten and smooth. I'll check in tomorrow and let you know if I get razor bumps. I got the Braun series five from Walmart as my start to using an electric razor. I've been just cutting it as close as I could with a whaul balding razor for about a decade, so I might be more sensitive to shaving since it's about my third week. I got use to the Braun extremely quick, thanks to the advice in the videos, so we’ll see.
Djuan Eastman ok thanks for the feedback. What model number arc5 did you get? I’m looking to save some money by not getting the cleaning system that comes with. Figure I can just clean it the regular way. Also do you prefer a dry shave over a wet one when using the arc 5 or any other electric razor?
Had Braun's for Years and had my Series 9 for 2 months now. Drying cycle used 2 b bout 20 min and it was dry. NOW .. It's like 30 min PLUS and its still damp the next morning. Can't figure out why. Anyone else have this issue ?? Great review!!! My hair grows every angle you can imagine!!!. Thanks!!
I have to use electric razors. With safety or cartridge I get razor bumps bad. I have a norelco. I like it but get tired of the circular motions to get a clean shave. I need to get me that Braun
It didn't impress me at all, it doesn't have the power to cut wiry hair very well, plus it tries to avoid touching the skin so much that I had to press really hard to my skin to get it shave close otherwise it just passes over without doing anything. I ended up buying an Andis it cuts the hair on my face with power to spare and it doesn't avoid touching my skin, it takes more finess to avoid cutting the skin but its more than worth it. if you have fine soft hair than the Braun would probably work.
I've been using mine and i think i can get about 40 or 50 mins before a recharge. I've heard there's a new series 9 model that has a 20% battery increase so it can go up to an hour.
Hi, just saw your channel. What can you recommend sir, I don’t want it with no hair, i usually use #1 (sorry, don’t know what it’s called). I guess the proper term that i am looking for is trimmer?
Great product for African american I use series 5 and I had a lil skin irritation at the bottom of my neck as well just use some after shave problem solved best shaver I ever used
What do you think about the following ; Braun 7/9 series, panasonic arc 5/6, wahl finale foil shaver, babyliss foil shaver, gamma plus foil shavers ? (Maybe theres some other good ones out there I duno. Perhaps a video topic .... ) I use the braun series 7 now, it's great. Extremely comfortable. Jw how these other foil shavers out there are. Thanks
@@paulcarlin5181 Appreciate it. I use the braun series 7 daily currently but want something a little closer without sacrificing the comfort. Seems like the closer they get, the more they sacrifice on comfort. Makes sense tho, how else can you do it. Lot of videos I've seen do praise the babyliss fx2 shaver. Might have to check that out.
Bro how do you prevent red mark on bottom of back of head? I shave with disposable and t liner and both give the back of the bottom on my head real red and doesn't go away for a day or 2. It happens everytime I shave.
Bro, my hair texture is probably like yours. I love the Braun 9 Series. I use Andis T-Outliner first to knock down hair and long hairs and then use the Braun afterwards. I’ve been seeing that Norelco Oneblade lately and it’s looking like a beast. Hate I paid $350 vs $50 if that Oneblade actually does the job. I want to be able to cut in the shower every other day at least besides waiting a week to cut and bald my head. What you think of the Norelco Oneblade bro?
Aaron can the Braun9 be used alone (no help from trimmers/clippers) to shave my own head(myself) near-bald ? The longest i ever let it get before shaving is about 1/16". The reviewer said it(Braun)can do the entire job alone but I'm wondering what u think ?
Yeah, I’ve heard a lot of people like the Arc but worth mentioning, the Arc 5 replacement heads are about twice the price. If you average one per year it’ll cost you $150 USD more over 5 years to run the Arc 5 over a Series 9.
Finally arrived and tried it, minor irritation, nothing compared to razors, so I recommend it. It's awesome how soft my head is after a 10 minute session with this BEAST. Thank you, your vid helped me decide.
Depends how sensitive your skin is but typically foil shavers are gentler than contact razors. I get a little bit of razor rash just underneath my jaw line, but it's better than my regular razor. As for cutting depth a foil razor will cut slightly above the skin.
Yes, I am a witness that they do cause razor rash. key is to not press hard....to let your skin go through the foil....take your time....and use after shave.
Hello Nate. I’m thinking of to buy a Braun Series 7 with station for a good price. And I’m wondering if it’s big difference between Brain Series 7 and 9? Cause i wonder how close the Braun series 7 shaves and if it gets the head totally but shaved without taking a lot of time in the bathroom. Does it gets as close as andis profil shaver or better? Appreciate the answer
Thank you for the video. I'm interested in getting it. I use a safety razor, and the andis foil shaver. How long do the foils last on the BRAUN? Thank you again.
Hey bro i use that device as well! My question to you is, do you use any type of shaving cream ? How do you prep for a shave? Im new to the bald game, please share products that you recommend. Thanks bro
Hey Nate I use a safety razor with and against the grain except for the back of the head near the bottom ( that area is very sensitive) if I use this and only go with the grain Will it still get me as clean as the razor? and 2. Will it cause razor bumps because foil shavers make me hella nervous with our type of hair
I have the Panasonic arc 5 I use it for a wet shave. It gets really close. But handling the arc 5 can be a little crazy. Also, your head has to adjust to using a electric razor
Can it handle head hair that's about 1/16" long ? Or would i need to first hit it with a clipper/trimmer ? Goal is to get down to near-bald (like 1/32")
Thanks for the review. Any chance you can cut your head with it? Husband has a stroke so he lost use of needs his dominant hand. Looking for something he can use on himself - he doesn’t complain but I am just not cutting it as his barber.
What? afraid? im a grown man im afraid to no razor! lol i have a pittbull skull shaver motor is dying after 2 yrs of use. I might consider Braun series 9. Thumbs up on the vid!
I really enjoy by Babyliss Pro Foil fx, but 2 days is pretty much the limit for good cutting. Anything more and I need to finish with a razor blade. What did you end up getting?
ToReal ForTv Idk but try out cremo post shave balm And if you use a razor get the creamo shave cream I get razor burn at the edge of my bottom neckline but these two products help me a lot
no razor bumps for me.... but when I use it everyday it caused problems at day 4...…..I cut about every week- first with T blade and then I clean up with braun- best shave... no bumps no irritation
Love your channel. Been using that shaver since it came out. Been using Braun series for a decade for that purpose. I’m not bald but I cut my own hair high and tight. Then I used the wahl to fade it.
I watch alot of your videos fam. Im looking for sum shavers like this. Is there something i can put on my head first then shave with these? Trying to keep my head nice an smooth and trying to eliminate bumps.
I usually go to barber. They usually cut my gair real liw wit tge clippers than hit it wit the wahls shavers. My head seems to do great wit the wahls. Im scared wit i get one of these and shave more iften I'll start bumping up. I usually get my haircut every 10 days my skin does good.
the best for black man bald heads. I first use a T blade first- because I cut a few days to week..... no bumps...… but it took awhile before it starting working good- had to break in.... not sure if you can use it everyday.... I tried and after 4 days I go some problems with irritation
N@@NateMatthews LOL, Nahh, not me. I ordered 4 of them from Indiegogo it's where you support peoples idea and inventions. It's already out on the Market. I gave two to two friends of mine and they love it. I kept two for me, I just got my SMP done and Extremely happy with the results. So I will be buzzing my hair every other day, and will be saving the head shaves for when I am away on vacation and in the water ;o)
@@ELEVOPR re: Omnishaver, can u use it to go from about (in my case) head hair that's abt 1/16" long, down to nearly bald (i dont need completely bald, just close) ??
@@tms6565 From What ai understand It will Bald You Out. Only 0000 Clipper Blade or T Liner Blade With Not bald you out. I used Electric Foil Razor for my SMP and it Balds me out as well. Clippers or T Outliners are your best bet.

Straight edge is the best leather strap and slick 50
can we use it on balls and skin around

Cause i wonder how close the Braun series 7 shaves and if it gets the head totally but shaved without taking a lot of time in the bathroom. Does it gets as close as andis profil shaver or better? Appreciate the answer
Thank you for the video. I'm interested in getting it. I use a safety razor, and the andis foil shaver. How long do the foils last on the BRAUN? Thank you again.
Braun Series 9 shaver cassettes are designed for up to 18 months of use before requiring replacement.
Hey bro i use that device as well! My question to you is, do you use any type of shaving cream ? How do you prep for a shave? Im new to the bald game, please share products that you recommend. Thanks bro

Do you think this would work well for my legs? Us ladies with thick leg hair need some help 😅
Hey Nate I use a safety razor with and against the grain except for the back of the head near the bottom ( that area is very sensitive) if I use this and only go with the grain Will it still get me as clean as the razor? and 2. Will it cause razor bumps because foil shavers make me hella nervous with our type of hair
I have the Panasonic arc 5
I use it for a wet shave. It gets really close. But handling the arc 5 can be a little crazy.
Also, your head has to adjust to using a electric razor
Can it handle head hair that's about 1/16" long ? Or would i need to first hit it with a clipper/trimmer ? Goal is to get down to near-bald (like 1/32")
Thanks bro. Real informative. Keep doing your thing!
Preciate the feedback. Thanks 💪🏽
Thanks for the review. Any chance you can cut your head with it? Husband has a stroke so he lost use of needs his dominant hand. Looking for something he can use on himself - he doesn’t complain but I am just not cutting it as his barber.
Hi, did husband find a good electric shaver to cut his own head ? I'm looking.....
If you bump up put some Neosporin on it.
Thanks
Smoother shaving after a week with S9 plus
A few speckals left behind
Used cleaner but stingy 5 mins later
What? afraid? im a grown man im afraid to no razor! lol i have a pittbull skull shaver motor is dying after 2 yrs of use. I might consider Braun series 9. Thumbs up on the vid!
Has anyone done a comparison between these and the Babyliss pro foil fx02 ? Can't decide on which one to get.
I really enjoy by Babyliss Pro Foil fx, but 2 days is pretty much the limit for good cutting. Anything more and I need to finish with a razor blade. What did you end up getting?
I have sensitive skin when shaving my beard. So am try find better shaving clipper I can buy that don't cause me rash or itch skin after shaving.
Same. Did you find anything yet
Andis t outliners bother your skin?That's the only thing I can use
Andis Profoil? I have a Series 7 that I sometimes use for my head. As always, great vid.
Yeah that's the one! Couldn't think of the name.
Try phillips beard shaver for beard on the head is a really good idé of rewiew love your tips and stuff 👊🏿❤️👊🏿
Have you ever tried the pitbull gold by skull shaver?
Does it leave razor bumps...
ToReal ForTv
Idk but try out cremo post shave balm
And if you use a razor get the creamo shave cream I get razor burn at the edge of my bottom neckline but these two products help me a lot
no razor bumps for me.... but when I use it everyday it caused problems at day 4...…..I cut about every week- first with T blade and then I clean up with braun- best shave... no bumps no irritation
I explained my results in the video
They say all of them do until you get used to it
Love your channel. Been using that shaver since it came out. Been using Braun series for a decade for that purpose. I’m not bald but I cut my own hair high and tight. Then I used the wahl to fade it.
Can the Braun 9 be used by itself, no help from trimmers/clippers, to shave my head (myself) very short ? (I dont need bald, just close).
Will this shave closer than my Braun Series 3? Thanks
Nowhere near
So you use witch hazel and after shave after every shave?
Yes, just about. If not witch hazel... Some type of aftershave gel/lotion
I watch alot of your videos fam. Im looking for sum shavers like this. Is there something i can put on my head first then shave with these? Trying to keep my head nice an smooth and trying to eliminate bumps.
I usually go to barber. They usually cut my gair real liw wit tge clippers than hit it wit the wahls shavers. My head seems to do great wit the wahls. Im scared wit i get one of these and shave more iften I'll start bumping up. I usually get my haircut every 10 days my skin does good.
Hey man you should try the new Gillette guard bump free razor
Thanks!
the best for black man bald heads. I first use a T blade first- because I cut a few days to week..... no bumps...… but it took awhile before it starting working good- had to break in.... not sure if you can use it everyday.... I tried and after 4 days I go some problems with irritation
You should have no issues with a tblade trimmer. However, your results wouldn't be nearly as good as using a razor
Who owns a Braun shaver that's durable?
Thx Nate! Very well said 👍
For myself, my skin gets extremely irritated especially on the back of the neck, I hope this makes a difference
Definitely, the bumps on the neck line are the worst.
Youve heard anything good bout the Panasonic Arc 5 Gee?
Omni Shaver, Shave your head bald clean in under 1 Minute. Do you have a review on the Omni Shaver?
No but you sound like you work for the company & low-key advertising on my page. Send me one
N@@NateMatthews LOL, Nahh, not me. I ordered 4 of them from Indiegogo it's where you support peoples idea and inventions. It's already out on the Market. I gave two to two friends of mine and they love it. I kept two for me, I just got my SMP done and Extremely happy with the results. So I will be buzzing my hair every other day, and will be saving the head shaves for when I am away on vacation and in the water ;o)
@@ELEVOPR re: Omnishaver, can u use it to go from about (in my case) head hair that's abt 1/16" long, down to nearly bald (i dont need completely bald, just close) ??
@@tms6565 From What ai understand It will Bald You Out. Only 0000 Clipper Blade or T Liner Blade With Not bald you out. I used Electric Foil Razor for my SMP and it Balds me out as well. Clippers or T Outliners are your best bet.
Man I've been watching your videos for at least 3 years. I don't know why it took me so long to subscribe to your channel. Will definetly cop this thing now!
Panasonic Arc 5!!!
Nate hi man use some clubman talc powder bless
before or after you shave?
I been shaving my head for 11 years and nothing works better than going against the grain with Gillette Fusion
Plan on trying that someday
Until you use a double edge razor with Astra blades
I don't have a bald head but thanks for the info 👊🏾🧔🏾
Thanks for the love bro 💪🏽
I would like to see a review on Panasonic arc 5
I'll do some research on it 💪🏽
