It's cheap so I thought it would be bad quality - but it's fantastic!
I normally wet shave but there are times when I simply don't have time and if you need to look respectable you just can't turn up with stubble (unless it's "designer" and that's not me).I bought from a certain auction website an inexpensive electric razor but it really didn't do the job and the rechargeable battery expired within a year so it is now in the bin. As I usually do, I researched the market thoroughly before buying. In the end I felt I couldn't lose this was less than £20 and I opted for it over the M60 because of the trimmer function for which I am really glad. The ability just to trim the sideburns makes you look so much better groomed, even if you are overdue a trip to the barber.So, downside. None! Upside, takes batteries so you can always stop at your nearest newsagent or convenience store and get some more. It is BRAUN so the quality is fantastic. It's waterproof so, if you want to, you can shave in the shower (although I'm not sure this is a definite advantage) and it will not be ruined in the bathroom when you spill water onto it. The design is excellent so that the foil guard also cuts off the power swich and it cannot just turn itself on in your washbag (which my toothbrush does). There is a cute cleaning brush recessed into the base although you can just wash it under the tap. New foils are easy to come by and cheap. It takes around two minutes to have a clean-up shave where my Chinese one took nearly 10 minutes. It does not tug the hair it just cuts it without any discomfort.BRAUN sell razors for over £200. I get as close a shave with the M90 as I do with a wet razor against the grain of my beard. My skin must be pretty sensitive as I have only just found a wet razor I can do this with, previously I had to shave with the grain to avoid shaving rash. My wife loves the result and it's so convenient that if we are going out in the evening you can get rid of the 5 o'clock shadow in no time. I bought this thinking that if I liked it I would ask for an expensive model as a birthday present - forget it, if there is any advantage to a £200 razor (and I suppose there must be some) I amfar too content with what I have to even contemplate changing.

Great for travel
My brother who is 83 battles to use most razors finds this perfect to use.

No more cuts, decent clean shave
I used to shave with Gillette Mach 3 shavers back in the day, every other day, but I decided to keep stubble for a number of years until the last 2 years I started to keep a beard...long story short tried clean shaving again for a change but started to get spots from ingrowing hair etc. With this Braun however, no spots, ingrowing hair, slight razor burn but I reckon that's down to me not being used to clean shaved and perhaps my technique has been lost. It's a fairly clean/close shave so it's the best of both worlds of a shaver and a trimmer. I just have to say though the hair does grow back quicker than a clean shave but I can compromise as I get no more of the side effects I used to from clean shaving, but I look clean shaven. It also has a detailing tool, although I haven't really tried it and from my experience, they're usually not that great, but who knows with this one. It's washable, according to the manufacturer. You can pop the head off and on easily for easy cleaning. It has a protective 360 swivelling cover on and does seem well built all round.Can't comment on the battery life as it takes AA batteries so depends on the batteries you use. Fits nicely in the hand, and looks nice but is all plastic but you can't complain as right now it costs £16 (I bought it at £17.50). Worth it for me because even though it's plastic, it's a lot of bang for your buck a feels nice quality.If you have sensitive skin and suffer from razor burns, spots, ingrowing hair, etc, I definitely recommend this to you. No cuts, or pulling hair. You do have to trim your hair short enough though before you use it as not to pull your hairRecommend imo.

Excellent, compact razor; outstanding value
Splendid, well-designed razor and absolutely outstanding value at £12 - I have just bought a second one as a spare. OK only it only has a single head / foil but that just means more passes and slower. Why pay £100 ~ £200 unless you really must have the fastest possible shave? Includes trimmer & even a cleaning brush, folds up small & foil is automatically protected. Ideal for travel or lightweight camping / backpacking. Only disadvantage is narrow trimmer, but this just means you have to take a bit more time & trouble. And that you have to recharge the batteries separately, but as others have said, batteries (either disposable or rechargeable) last for ages in this razor.Note: one person answering a questions above suggested the Philips Travel Shaver with twin rotary heads as a smaller alternative. Well, maybe possibly, but only if you find that a rotary shaver happens to work better with your particular hair growth. It took me years to realise that in my case, rotary wasn't suitable & that I needed a foil-type (reciprocating) razor. And I have a beard, so most of my shaving is under my chin and around my neck where the skin is looser and the hairs tend to lie flat rather than stick straight out - always the trickiest place to shave. This little razor works as well an anything else; I just have to patient, pull the skin taut and shave from various directions.
