Summary: Great Shave
Comment: I've been shaving with a variety of manual blades ever since I started shaving (about 7 years or so). I just received the 390cc as a Christmas gift and have been using it about 2 weeks now. Even on the first shave, I thought it gave a pretty close shave (much closer than I was expecting). After normal everyday use, the shave is almost as close as the Fusion (non-powered) razor I was using just prior to this. There is also less irritation on my face as opposed to a manual blade and I have pretty sensitive skin. The cleaning system is awesome. It can be loud at first, but it's only for a couple of minutes. If you're switching over from a manual razor, this is perfect.

Summary: Hard to Get Close Shave
Comment: Hard to Get Close Shave. I cut myself as well when trying to get a close shave.

Summary: poor shave
Comment: My old shaver was a Norelco that seemed to work pretty well. Unfortunately I lost the charger and the cost for a replacement charger was not worth it.
I picked the Braun Contour because I happened to have enough gift points to get it for free from a web service.
I don't understand all these rave reviews about close, clean shaves. I cannot get the contour to leave my face clean or smooth. Frequently, I'll see one or two lone stubbles sticking out. I'll frantically run the contour over and over the area to no avail. I'll end up resorting to tweezers.
I've even reconsulted the instructions to see if I'm doing something wrong, but the instructions are pretty straightforward. My wife complains all the time about my unclean shaves.
I like the fact that the shaver can simply by rinsed under the sink but I don't bother at all with the elaborate cleaning station. For one thing, if you follow the exact directions, you would end up having to constantly purchase a ton of cleaning fluid. Secondly, the cleaning station is huge. It's somewhat smaller than a volleyball. I don't have space in my bathroom (or bedroom) for this thing.
My old shaver required neither special fluid nor a massive cleaning station. I don't see how the Contour's elaborate setup is a step forward. It's nice to see that the Contour is working for other users but it's definitely a disappointment to me.

Summary: Finally switched!
Comment: After many many years of using shaving gel and blade I finally switched. All I can say is WOW Shoulda done this years ago, or maybe not...... maybe it is now that these machines are really working. I tried one a few years back and my skin was irritated for about two days, really red. With this Braun I did not get or feel any irritation and the shave was very close. Now after a about a month of use I am getting an extremely close shave and feel very happy about having switched! No more cuts. Great and highly recommended!

Summary: Dissapointed in this Braun
Comment: I have used Braun previously and loved it. Went to a Norelco then figured I would retry another Braun. I did not think it gave that great of a shave. Having to continually go over and over some spots to get them clean. It is still loud and the on off button being on the side is annoying. Having to sent it back to Braun was a surprise also as Amazon would not take it back before the 30 day trial was up. Think I will stick with the triple header from now on.
