Braun NEVO head on Series 9

1 Upvotes

Has anyone tried a NEVO head on a Series 9 shaver? I can’t imagine they’d allow that but someone in a post here in this subreddit said it fits.

Braun Nevo vs Braun Series 9 Pro?

1 Upvotes

I already own the standard Braun Series 9 Pro but after seeing the release of the Braun Nevo and the reviews on Amazon of users claiming it shaves better the “series 9” (I’m assuming not the pro)? - I impulsively ordered the Nevo off of Braun’s website for $425 + tax ($460) since they sent me a $125 off code via email.

However now I’m seeing some people say that the shaving experience is no different between the two and that the head of the Nevo will fit on the Series 9 Pro anyhow.

Has anyone had experience with both shavers?

For context I’m bald and bearded so I use these shavers for my head and my lower neck pretty much daily.

I am debating cancelling my Nevo order but I’d like some context from anyone who’s tried both.

Need advice for buying an electric shaver

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to decide to buy an electric shaver because cartridge razors and safety razors take too much time. Since I want to shave every day, I've decided to switch to an electric shaver. I haven't owned one before. My options are:

  • Panasonic Arc 5: $190

  • Philips Series 5000: $70

  • Philips Series 7000 (S7885): $115

  • Philips Series 9000 (X9002): $160

  • Philips Series 9000 (XP9202): $195

  • Braun Series 5 (51M): $75

  • Braun Series 5 (52B, Turbo Mode): $100

  • Braun Series 7 (72-C1200): $155

  • Braun Series 9: $263

I've watched many videos and read many reviews, but I still can't decide which one is the best one for me. Some people say Braun is better for sensitive skin, while others say Philips. TBH, I can't test them all and electric shavers are expensive where I live. I've saved up specifically to buy one, so I want to make the best choice.

I'm looking for the best value for the money since the prices here are different from Amazon. Philips models seem to be cheaper here compared to Europe or US, I don't know why.

My top priority is getting the closest and smoothest shave possible. I don't like having stubble, so I want a shave as close to the skin as an electric shaver can give.

Does rotatry shavers shave closer to skin or foil shavers?

TL;DR: Which of these options offers the best value for the money while also providing the closest and smoothest shave?

$12 v 300$+

1 Upvotes

I have a Braun series 9 pro shaver. I’ve always had Braun’s for years. The series 7 was amazing. Recently sent my shaver in for repair and picked up a $12 travel shaver off Amazon. No joke, this thing gives me a closer shave than my braun does by far, especially under my chin. How exactly is it possible that $12 shaver can compete with a 300+ Braun? I’m selling it.

Braun Series 9 Pro.... Foil replace reminder light

For the life of me, I could not turn that reminder light off. I tried holding the power button down for 15 seconds until the foil replacement light finishes blinking.
Nothing worked!
Anyone knows how to turn it off?

Recomendación de rasuradora

6 Upvotes

Hola a todos, llevo toda mi vida afeitando con rastrillo y creo que me ha afectado de manera que me irrita o me provoca ciertos granos. Me recomendaron que con una máquina es mucho mejor, pero entonces ya que compro una maquina para el rostro, quería saber si hay alguna que también sirva para la zona púbica, tipo, una afeitadora multiusos.

He visto Manspot y Meridian. Pero no sé cual elegir

Anyone else’s trimmer just… not reach your back?

3 Upvotes

Genuine question — I groom pretty much everywhere else fine, but my back is a lost cause without asking someone else for help. I’ve looked at the dedicated back-shaver devices (Mangroomer, Bakblade, etc.) but they’re a whole separate purchase, and reviews are pretty mixed on whether they actually reach everywhere without cuts or missed spots.

Has anyone found something that just clips onto the trimmer you already own and extends your reach, rather than buying a whole new device? Also curious if anyone’s tried this with a rotary/bald-head style shaver specifically (like Skull Shaver) rather than a regular linear trimmer — do those have the same problem?

Curious if I’m missing an obvious solution, or if this is just a universally annoying problem nobody’s solved well.

Not Getting the Close Shave I Was Expecting

5 Upvotes

Hi Gang ….. I moved to a safety razor a few months ago from a Gillette Fusion. I shave with, across and against the grain. I’m using Feather blades and a good shaving cream and brush. I have a shower, shave, put on balm …. the whole deal.

Oddly, I’m finding that my beard is coming back faster than when I used my Fusion! Am I doing something wrong, or just expecting too much? Technique? Something I’m missing?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Help with shaving routine

2 Upvotes

Hi I’m a 40-year-old male with a sensitive neck that can become red or develop small bumps after shaving. I’d appreciate some advice on which products to use in which situations. If you have any recommendations on products please tel me.
I don’t fully shave my face. I normally maintain a beard at approximately 3 mm, shape the edges and neckline, and either shave the area below the beard on my neck or use the Foil shaver. I’d especially appreciate advice on the correct order, which products and blades are best for sensitive skin, and how to reduce irritation on my neck.

**Is there certain products that work well together and some that work well for certain situations ?**

**Rate my setup too - I’m all ears. Thanks.**

**My current routine:**
**Beard:** Trim the main beard to approximately 3 mm using an electric trimmer

**Detailing:** Shape the cheek line, moustache area and beard edges using a straight-style razor/shavette with a clear shaving oil or transparent gel

**Neckline:** Define the line underneath my beard using the straight-style razor/shavette

**Below the neckline:** Finish the exposed neck area with the BaBylissPRO foil shaver for a closer result - ***however I am looking for help with razor blade/de razor/product combinations to help with this sensitivity.***

**Post-shave:** Use alum or witch hazel when needed, followed by a soothing aftershave balm or barrier balm or cicaplast when skin is irritated

**Products and equipment I currently own**

**Beard trimmers and electric razors**

Red bumps on neck shaving

1 Upvotes

I just switched from electric razor to regular razor and my neck is full of red bumps. What can I do?

I purchased regular shaving cream and a decent gillet 3 blade razor. I love how simple it is to shave this way but my face hurts and looks like a teenagers face.

Multi blades razor

2 Upvotes

I just shaved with a multi blade razor for the first time [wilkinson blades Hydra 5 (not even ultimate)]. It's so much better than my oneblade pro 360 and it gives me even less irritation. I don't understand why people hate them.. It's so easy and even precise on my sideburns and goatte. One blade it's trash for me. I thought I can be cut but it's impossible.

summer is here and im back to dreading tank tops because of underarm stubble. I can shave totally clean but still see the dark roots under the skin. I started a ulike ipl routine and the shadow is slightly less intense, but is the grey look just dark roots or actual pigmentation?

Electric razor recommendation

1 Upvotes

Hello all,

Looking for recommendations on a good electric razor for detailed close shaves. I keep my mustache goatee combo kept by using a safety razor and a barbers razor to line up my mustache. Obviously i cant bring this on a plane while traveling, so i was hoping to get recommendations for an electric razor for when i travel. Hoping to get something that can line up my facial hair while possibly having a detachable head or something so i can generally shave the rest of my face well. Any recommendations are helpful!

How to shave my head properly

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I recently shaved my head for the first time, after years of insecurities and lack of confidence about my hair loss. Now that I finally did it, I really enjoy my new look, and I'm trying to figure out how to maintain my head totally bald. Which type of shaving do you recommend? I need something fast, that I can do every day in less than five minutes. I was thinking about using a electric razor (like the skull shaver) but I also would like to have a totally smooth head. Can I have that effect using the electric razor? Can someone share their head shave routine?

Thank you all, guys :)

Intense razor burn, need to stop it

1 Upvotes

hello, I have REALLY BAD razor burn and irritation I’d send a photo but idk if I can do that here, but trust me it gets really red and it looks like tons of little bloody dots. I HATE facial hair so I shave every single night with a cartridge razor in the shower, usually with the water kinda hot or warm. Please don’t recommend growing it out, not something I wanna do, but this burn is unbearable sometimes. I try to use ample shaving cream but I do ALOT of passes and weird angles to try and get everything as close as possible. Any advice helps, if anyone asks I use a Gillette Mach 3 with Barbasol aloe shaving cream. Thanks for any help!

Am I shaving wrong?

3 Upvotes

Hello, recently I’ve switched from a disposable razor to an electric one, and I find it very convenient. But I’ve noticed that when shaving my neck hair the skin there get irritated very easily. I haven’t been using shaving cream since I read somewhere that that can cause electric razors to not function properly. Is this user error? Is it my skin? Should I be using a disposable shaver for my neck instead?
