About this deal

Just keep in mind that the latest 790cc models being manufactured are actually cordless-only and there’s no model number that differentiates them from the older ones (corded and cordless).

Panasonic makes great shavers that are better in other specific areas, but the movement of the head and of the individual cutters just doesn’t work so well.So, the Braun series 9 is not cutting it for me in regards to razor burn, but I have had good experience with Gillette’s new Skin-guard razor.

This was available with only a few of the current Series 9 generation, but it seems more prevalent with the 93xx models like the 9385cc/9390cc in this review. This simple setup works better than the ones on other foil shavers like the super complex Panasonic Arc 5 with its multiple flexing capabilities. The Panasonic does shave a fraction closer,but at the expense of more irritation, especially on my top lip. Currently using and I’ve been impressed – the new 360 head actually does follow contours better, and the head is sort of a hybrid between the old Series 7 and new Series 9 – almost the same width as the Series 9 in fact.Just like every other Series 9 model, the new 9385cc/9390cc features the same 4-blade cutting system. The 92S (left) and 92M (right) cassettes are the same except for the glossy and matte treatments respectively. It looks to me that the Braun cleaning solution is the cause of this problem destroying the plastic.

It only functioned when used daily, while shaving wet was hard to do without shaving pimples as well. High-quality models like the Braun Series 9 make it a comfortable experience – but if you’d rather shave wet (using gel or foam), you can – the waterproof body of the 9390cc lets you use it either way.

Also, when I look closely at the showing head icon, it looks like there is only one LED behind the icon, meaning that the 3 tiny lines can only be shown at the same time and not individually. Actually the Cassette Head is a much shallower profile than the Series 7 so it's easy to rinse out under a powerful jet of tapwater (even cold water ! All Braun shavers from the Series 5 and up, including the Series 9 reviewed here, are fitted with a shaving head that can only swivel up and down. I’ve always mentioned the Braun flexing head when comparing it to Panasonic — it’s so simple and effective. For example, the new Series 8 has the same 32-bit processor, but its performance was actually a bit worse compared to the older Series 7.

It also seems to yield the best results when used more often, so when the hair is shorter as the problem of flat-lying hairs is not quite as bad. The shaver will display a symbol (two droplets) on its LCD display when it estimates that you need to clean it. I had a great Phillips before this but all the reviews said the Braun Series 9 was the best there ever was. You may even need to use the shaver’s hair trimmer to get some of the very stubborn hairs and then use the shaving head to get any remaining stumps.As for the rest of 93xx models, while they can be different with regards to accessories, displays and the inclusion of pro/regular stations, the shaving performance is identical (which is why I said that the review will be relevant for al 93xx models). But other than that, it’s hard to fault the 9385cc or any of the Series 9 shavers in general when it comes to comfort. Facing the (mine) s9 with the cassette removed, either from the front or behind, the pusher on the left appears to have a stiffer/higher sitting spring underneath. The shaver will start charging immediately, signaled by flashing the corresponding battery level indicator.
