To be honest, my 8 year old 9095 must still be in great condition. Regarding what you should use, any type of light lubricant that is mineral oil based will do. I will definitely try them. That one does have a stepped panel and offset charging pins. What is different in the case of the Series 9 Pro is the switch that locks the head in place for more control. I have really thick and dense hairs on those areas, but if thats not the case, I dont think youll notice a difference. A combination of a fan and a heating element will be a lot more effective (Philips stations use such a system). I prefer to remove the cassette and give everything one final rinse, inside out. The old one was already really good, to be honest, but any improvements are welcome. Ive seen others comment about the S9 being offered by Costco (model 80353885) for $200 USD. Glad you found the site useful and I hope youll enjoy shaving with the Pro S9. The razor I bought is a 9460CC because of its forte in comfort and easy maintenance. Many thanks for taking the time to share this glad youre happy with the Series 9 Pro. I may earn a commission from the affiliate links on this site.

You shouldnt however decide when to change it based solely on that, but rather when the performance starts to drop significantly. But the built in trimmer seem better than an S7 attachment. You stated that you can charge your Braun Pro shaver from 0 to full battery a couple of times and still have some charge left in the PowerCases battery. In my opinion the parts that are most at risk in the case of mechanical shock are the cassette/head and the motor with its linkages to the cutters. I suffer from a very sensitive skin that often results in skin irritation after a shave, especially around the neck area. After each shave, it displays the foil replacement indicator for a second with some bars. Considering your beard type and oily skin, I think the Tabac pre-shave would be a perfect fit and the closest alternative to any powder/talcum-based products. And even when moving against the grain, its just not as effective as a Panasonic trimmer nor does it cut the hairs as close to the skin. Also, by base do you mean the cleaning station or the shavers body? But I will, hopefully sooner than later. But since the Braun Series 9 Pro is waterproof, rinsing everything with water and (optionally some liquid soap) is certainly more effective and recommended. With that out of the way, lets start the review with a quick look over the most important features of the Series 9 Pro. However, I would appreciate if you could review the new Philips Series 9, it would be very helpful to have your comprehensive review.

Using the Pro cassette on the Series 9 (non-Pro) will not be much different compared to the older cassettes (unless your current cassette is really worn out). I did not mention that I shave every day in the morning. As for the closeness, its very similar on the neck and cheeks, but the Arc 6 (and 5) does manage to get a bit closer when shaving below the nose and also on the chin. In fact, those can be a bit quieter. In my case, during a dry shave, the Series 9 Pro and especially the Series 9 are significantly better than an Arc 5 like the LV95. Thanks! When I touch the foil with my finger, I can see the residue on my finger. Ovidiu, Is it ok to remove the cartridge from the base and rinse it with water (and also rinse the base) prior to placing the shaver in the cleaning unit? We know that the Braun Series 9 Pro is available with various accessories, the automatic cleaning&charging station being probably the most important one to factor in when deciding which model to buy. Thank you for signing up!
I normally put cotton wool in my ears to reduce the sound. This is worsen by also having very oily skin that cause even more friction and flat hairs the grow in many different directions. It was a really good deal as well. From a novice in the UK! I havent noticed any issues as of yet.. From the outside, the shaver looks fine but maybe there could be some sort of internal damage due to it falling onto the floor such as the battery being damaged or something of that sort. Thanks again for all your help. In the beginning, only the 9477cc and 9465cc (no power case) were available in the USA exclusively through Brauns website.

If you remove the shaver from the station right after the cleaning cycle (which lasts for a few minutes), the head will be dripping wet. Charging a Series 9 Pro from the mains takes around 50 minutes. That is correct, the number of bars in conjunction with the foil icon shows the cassettes remaining lifetime. While the closeness has always been more than adequate, it lagged a bit behind Panasonic, the brand that is still class-leading in this regard. So the case features Brauns two-prong connector instead of a USB Type-C port for example. Am I doing it wrong? I decided to buy a Braun Series 9 Pro (9467cc) after reading your review, which I must say was really good and detailed.
Maybe its just the newer batch of 92S cassettes which are different ? In fact, all the other Pro models are wet & dry as well. I ordered at 7 AM and it was delivered at 1PM the same day, thanks to my Prime membership. (I still have time to exchange my 9390cc, but can only exchange it once, so would be grateful if you can let me know). i dont have a braun but it would be fun to know if they are any better. I appreciate the time you have taken to update many of your articles! In reality, it looks exactly the same as the other one. That does seem to happen more often with the 94M cassette. Comfort and value for money are my priority. For example, I did notice a smoother finish below the nose where the hairs are very wiry and coarse compared to simply shaving dry. However, I think you should get a cc version like the 7865cc or the 790cc for the same reasons I outlined above for the S9 Pro. Ill be switching to the ES-LV61 going forward. Alternatively, you could try a shaving balm like the Jack Black Beard Lube or a non-foaming shaving gel, I think the drying will be less of an issue when shaving your head (shaving cream tends to dry a lot quicker). I think the Series 9 Pro will still be a great option for users with irritation-prone skin that also experience razor burn, ingrown hairs/folliculitis or need a few days between shaving sessions.

As usual, well check it out in the Cleaning & Maintenance section. In order to charge the cases battery, youll have to use the standard Braun charger (also included with each shaver). Here it is on my 9477cc that normally only shows the bars: When a digit is being displayed, a red plug icon will also blink intermittently, informing the user that the shaver must be charged. Do the Braun S9 models have something similar? The former is again carried over from the regular Series 9.
I think most users that found the standard S9 comfortable during a wet or dry shave will have no major issues with the Series 9 Pro. Also during a dry shave, while a bit less forgiving, its not by any means harsh. The new shaving head/cassette of the Pro models (94s/94M) features a redesigned cutter that in theory doesnt have any influence on closeness. Theres also a listing of the 94M cartridge that ships right away, apparently. As for the current heads, I actually consider the SH98 of the Prestige to be the best, with the SH91 of the new Series 9000 a close second. I posted a wet shaving guide a while back where I recommend using a more watery, thin layer of shaving cream and rehydrating it if needed. For me its a bittersweet launch, as I was expecting the 10S. I have a few Series 9 models in various conditions and I can confirm this. In your review, you stated that you can charge the Braun shaver a couple of times from 0 to full battery and still have some charge left in the PowerCases battery. Battery life and the charger case will cover most of my travel but that charger probably cost them about $5 and should be included for the power case. Regards Max. If you only clean it dry or with water, but without soap, then once or twice a week should be enough. And since the Series 9 Pro comes with the same motor as before, the closeness should also be pretty much the same as before. Top 7 List, Whats The Best Head Shaver (2022)? Does the 94M cassette provide a closer shave than the 92S cassette ? With the newer cleaning station, i noticed that the cleaning is much more contained and the solution doesnt escape out the top when its cleaning. And you are correct, its just a OneBlade alternative, so a totally different type of shaver/product. You could try to thoroughly clean the small board and any contacts with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol, often times it works. I dont think its really necessary to wait instead of shaving right away since the hair on the head is nowhere near as coarse as facial hair. That said, the 9360cc costs more than the Series 8, so if you want the one that offers better value for money, that would be the Series 8. Sorry for the lengthy questions! Thank you for the comment, Paul. The Arc 5 just shaves closer and it would be a suitable choice if you shave often, which I understand is the case here. Unsurprisingly, the performance was stellar, the head glides easily on the skin, provided youre only using a thin and watery layer of lather. The next morning, I put everything back together and the power light comes on but isnt recognizing the razor. As such, we have the same white backlit display that shows various icons like battery charge, cleaning reminder and so on. Again, this is pretty obvious in the case of other shaver brands that use a similar technology as you can hear and feel the changes in speed. Its therefore quite surprising that your 92s cassette is different. My biggest complaint on the 9090cc was that the cleaning station would slosh the solution out of the top when running the cycle and it would get everywhere. Thanks again. The Braun Series 9 Pro 9477cc in this review, as well as the rest of the Pro models, come with the more advanced display that also shows the remaining 9 minutes of use in actual Arabic numerals. I also think Braun deserves props for making it compatible with the previous Series 9 and 8. Regarding the cleaning station spraying liquid of the top, thats actually a problem with the gasket that doesnt seal the intake tube properly to the cartridge. From what I can tell, the electronics (logic board) were damaged after you cleaned it. Below the head theres a texturized thumb rest that used to double as a head locking switch. I did drop a note to Braun pointing out that they shipped me 3 items that need to have their proprietary charger: cleaning station, power case and the shaver itself, but only one charger. Edit: I just remembered a similar comment from another Series 9 owner (here it is) and in the end it turned out to be some hardened hair dust blocking the inner part of the foil that youre referring to, right between the springs (and actually resembled a black rubber piece). Bert, you are way too kind. The product description memo I had from my cousin stated can be used standalone, although for optimum benefits suggested to purchase the optional power brush that used to spread the pre-shave gel but I choose to use it standalone. As we all know, a new cartridge is about $50 USD. How does that combo perform and hows the comfort? Thats an awesome piece of info, Vincent, thank you so much for sharing it. I think a shaving balm/gel like the one from Jack Black would be better here because it doesnt foam, so it wont dry as quickly. 2. This bought a question to my mind. You can also use the cleaning brush, but only on the inside of the cassette. Regarding the Sport model, you are correct, its just a regular Series 9. I should add the pro I am thinking of getting is the Braun Series 9 Pro 9467CC Electric Shaver Thank you. Thats also not ideal when youre edging the bottom part of your sideburns, for example. For me, it hits the best balance in terms of comfort, closeness, and simplicity (e.g. Thats awesome, Marc, enjoy shaving with your new S9 Pro!

I also used it side by side with another 92xx Series 9 and the Pro just bites into the hairs with more strength. I also wouldnt use it to pre-trim my beard as it would take a lot of time and effort. Shaving without damage the skin, that is already damaged in some areas. Just make sure the shaving head is dry before storing the shaver in the case, otherwise it may develop a funky smell in time. I will get back to the case later on in the review. So if you know maybe from previous experience that you deal with post-shave irritation, razor burn or bumps, my advice would be to consider the Series 9/Series 9 Pro despite the Arc 5 having an advantage in terms of closeness. And in many cases, the culprit seemed to be one of the two central trimmers. Theres only one type of Series 9 5430 station (no stepped panel, contact pins at the same level). After reading your reviews Im leaning toward the Braun Series 9 or Series 9 Pro. I was never a fan of Brauns slide-out trimmers (first introduced with the Series 5). But its not always as smooth to put it back on as it sometimes snags onto something. I realize there are several newer Arc5 models but from your reviews, the upgrades seem to be targeted primarily at comfort rather than performance. Theres no absolute right way of doing this, I just found that routine to work really well, especially since it also maintains the blades properly lubricated.

In order to get the station ready for use, you simply remove the cap from the cartridge, pop open the station by pressing the button on the back and slide the cartridge in place from the back. And. I tried a couple of stores near me and both stores didnt have the 94M cassette in stock. I have a quick question regarding the Braun Series 9 Pro. I think you made the right call, theres really no point in getting it, especially since youve stumbled upon the Arc 5 that seems to be just right for what you need. I know its a long shot especially if the cassette is new, but maybe its something similar here as well? You can check out this guide for a few options that I personally use. I would love to get my hands on a Syncro someday. A while ago when I used the cleaning station and removed the shaver, the foil was wet but not to this extent. It was under a third of the price of the S9 and is great value. Thanks for the info, much appreciated. That shaver doesnt come with a cleaning station, but you dont need one as its easy to clean manually and the Panasonic stations arent as practical. As mentioned above, I got the Series 9 Pro 9477cc model, which includes the automatic Clean & Charge station and the new power case. In the past I tackles the oily issues with a baby chalk powder. Compared to the previous Series 9 cassettes that come with the regular Series 9, the S9 Pro cassette has a new trimmer that should be even better at catching and cutting longer facial hair. I personally did see a difference in the case of the older 92s cassette, especially when I shaved after a longer period. A single flat-lying hair may not be as relevant though I think the time it takes to get a smooth shave on a patch of flat-lying hairs would be more conclusive. I almost always shave dry with my Series 9 razors, so I never had any issues operating the switch and never really thought of that.
