Customer Reviews

Small and spunky! (What the heck does that mean?)
Please note... I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because -- like any electric shaver I've ever owned -- it misses some hairs. The other reviewer is correct... you might have to use a razor on occasion to get 'em all. If you're familiar with electric shavers, you probably know exactly what we're talking about.

Having said that, I think it does as good a job as any other electric shaver I've owned. And I've spent a lot more than 10 or 11 bucks on those.

Bottom line: I like it and recommend it.

I use it as a travel shaver. It's "spunky" because it's battery powered. My rechargable starts to slow down after a couple of uses and, of course, needs to be charged. This one really has some energy and so far I haven't worn down the batteries. Battery life seems good since I'd be recharging by now with my other shaver.

You might want to carry a couple of extra batteries with you when you're traveling. But consider this... the shaver itself is self-contained. You don't have to carry a recharging cord (you don't need access to an outlet) and it flips around into it's own "case" so there's no case or pouch to carry around. As such, it's a good, very compact Braun shaver (with trimmer) and you sure can't beat the price.

Perfect Travel Razor
Having previously owned battery powered travel razors, I was always disappointed with their power and battery life. After all, what's the point ditching a heavier charger and razor if you have to carry a load of extra batteries and still end up stubbly faced? The Braun 370-BK was a pleasant surprise, however; powerful enough to hack through my hiking stubble and plenty of juice for an extended outing. I also liked the folding design which protects the cutting surfaces and keeps the cleaning brush from getting lost. A great piece of tech at a good price.

Not an electric shaver person, but..
I usually use a blade for shaving but needed an electric for those days when I either was too pressed for time to shave at home or had a evening meeting and needed a touch-up. I bought a Braun Wet/Dry Model "whatevermodelnumber". As luck would have it, a free Braun 370 was offered as a bonus. That was 4 years ago. I can't tell you where in my office the expensive (and mediocre) shaver is. The 370 does a consistantly better job. I am buying another so as to have one at my satellite office.
