Customer Reviews of Braun 7505 Syncropro Shaver

Customer Review: Close shave and clear winner....
Summary: 5 Stars

This is my third Braun. My last was a Flex Integral Ultra Speed which I loved. It was one of the few electric razors I've used which was tough enough to handle thick facial hair (thickness)and not trash my face in the process. However, tough as it was, I'd dropped it one time too many and a Syncro said happy birthday to me.

Had it not been a gift, I'm not sure I would have bought it. The idea of a self cleaning razor seemed nice but I wondered how much of the price was going towards the "gadget factor" and how much was building a solid razor. I also would not have spent the money to get the LCD display model but I'm glad to have it now having used it.

Compared to the Flex Integral Ultra Speed, the Syncro doesn't seem as tough and strong. However, it makes the difference in the design of the head. Aside from an extra 1000 or so passes per minute, its real advantage comes from the side to side pivot of the shaver head. I still find myself surprised how much the small degree of side to side pivoting can make. Its a bit hard to describe the result except that the head just grips better.

The end result is a shave that is definitely closer and longer lasting than the Integral's, though I wish it had a bit more power behind it for cutting through second day facial hair.

The Syncro also maintains its improvements with the self cleaning system. (check models). When you finish shaving each day, you place the razor into the cleaning / charging / storage cradle which then proceeds to clean and sterilize the razor. The process takes about 15 minutes for cleaning, 60 minutes for cleaning and charging. It requires special cleaning fluid refils which will run you about $9.99 each. They last about 30 cleaning cycles. The fluid acts as a cleaner and as a lubricant and is surprisingly effective...at cleaning...though I wish they would have left the fragrance out. Unfortunately the fluid is very flamible which limits where the cradle can go. The fluid refil cartridges don't lock in to the cradle and can spill if the cradle is knocked over...The cradle uses the razors power cord and also charges the razor as needed.

For the most part, the inside of the razor head and cutter blocks look as if they just came out of the box. However, there is a residue build up that requires a quick brushing (included with case) every now and then. Usually the LCD will display Clean! or Oil! during your shave if this builds up.

Overall I'm really impressed. What I would have passed off as gadget is really quite nice. It's nice to pick up a fresh, clean razor in the morning.

Description of Braun 7505 Syncropro Shaver

SyncroPro's patented Active Head micro-oscillates to better capture and cut hairs closer, especially in sensitive areas like the neck. In addition it delivers better skin comfort through easier gliding over the skin.

With a pivoting head that oscillates from side to side and large foil holes to capture more hairs in fewer strokes, this shaver delivers a quick, smooth shave. Operating with cord or cordless, the razor has a pop-up trimmer for mustache and sideburns and works worldwide on 110-to-240-volt systems. The razor recharges fully in one hour for 50 minutes shaving time or charges in three minutes for a quick shave. Razor, cord, and cleaning brush fit into a leather-like traveling case. The shaver carries a 2-year warranty against defects (foil and cutter-block excluded). --Fred Brack
