I always use Braun shavers, after tried other brand in past. The best shaving quality, no questions. I bought this after Series 7, very satisfied with the good price. It is more economical model - comes without washing station, which is a plus. Not everyone wants the washing station for an extra cost. However, I was mildly dissatisfied to find that there is no charging station in the kit. Have to plug the cable to charge - seems to be step backwards to 90's. Otherwise - a good product for reasonable price.
