That is indeed one situation where the S9 Pro locking switch will be better. Im wondering if the CCS wasnt supposed to be cleaned under running water (the 9095 owners manual didnt mention anything about it). The head is pretty slim for a 4-blade foil razor and conforms easily to the different areas of the face. That particular Series 9 is a very good deal at that price. With more than 6 years since the introduction of the original Series 9 and two incremental updates along the way, a major overhaul to Brauns flagship shaver was long overdue. Havent tried the gel from The Art of Shaving is it a pre-electric shave gel by any chance? Some users notice a slight difference, others dont. What does this mean? Throughout the cycle, the shaver will be turned on and off and a pump will flush the solution through the shaving head. Sorry for the lengthy questions! I wrote about it in this tutorial and theres a quick fix in there (provided the gasket isnt completely ruined). Lets now take a close look at the charging case. Something I dont seem to need. I honestly dont see any advantages to this change, but it is there and Braun makes a pretty big deal out of it, calling it a Precision Switch, even though it does the exact same thing as before. No problem, Its a news that I am gladly shared with the community here. Does the motor decrease in performance over time? If I understand correctly, you are referring to the inner part of the cassettes, unfortunately I cant really spot a difference. Most users will shave dry anyway, so the dry shaving performance of the Series 9 Pro was a priority during the test period. Yeah, based on this review, Ive concluded Ill wait for Braun Series 10. This can be useful when shaving a tighter spot like right below the nose. So I have now bought two products that I hope will help me get a smooth, close shaving experience. Getting back to the 94M cassette, you will be able to use it on your existing Series 9. The Series 9 Pro 94M cassette is finally available in the USA as well. The cc models dont cost a lot more than the solo models; Its easy to use and does a great job cleaning and lubricating the shaver; In time, some dirt and grime will accumulate inside the cassette and it is fiddly to clean it manually. Thanks for your comments. I get a quieter closer shave with the new model. My series 9 is now a year old, and I am thinking about replacing the cassette. You can also use the cleaning brush, but only on the inside of the cassette. I also subscribed to your newsletter since shaving topics are interesting because of my coarse beard and sensitive skin. How does the comfort of a wet shave from a s9 pro compare to the comfort of a wet shave from a Panasonic arc5? I think its worth the price difference. For example, I did notice a smoother finish below the nose where the hairs are very wiry and coarse compared to simply shaving dry. In most cases (myself included), there wont be any difference.
Tip: Before cleaning, I also like to remove the cassette and gently tap out the hairs so they wont end up in the cartridge. But its not always as smooth to put it back on as it sometimes snags onto something. Thank-you so much for posting these reviews. For now, S9 pro buyer will be at peace that the facts S10 will not be out for the coming 3 year. If after having a Braun for more years than I can count would a change to the LV95 be a huge adjustment since you commented the former was more comfortable? 5430 at time 6:24 So I am pretty sure there are 2 different types of 5430. The 94M is a bit harsher and grabbier, but does seem to shave slightly closer. No spam, just the good stuff. Do the Braun S9 models have something similar? In practice, that claim is a bit misleading as the shaver itself cannot assess that; instead, it uses a simple timer-based logic to determine how long its been since the last automatic cleaning cycle. Hoping to read more from you. Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning nevertheless as some users have asked me specifically about a fix. So far not disappointed and will probably keep. So, I cleaned the entire CCS with mild dish soap and running it under warm water (without the alcohol cartridge inserted). This bought a question to my mind. Thank you for your excellent review I just hope the shaver lasts. Ive been reading your reviews for years. 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 I saw the mannual of 9410S says it is compatible with 5430. After I got my Panasonic ARC 6, I have no interest in trying anything else. The price of older models like the ES-LV65 is also very reasonable. Thanks. However, the previous 92s/92b/92M cassettes that come with the regular Series 9 will also fit the Pro shavers. Having tested the shaver extensively for a couple of months, Ill discuss the pros, cons and shaving performance and well also see if its a worthy upgrade for current Series 9 owners.
2. Very timely as I was just considering an S9-Pro yesterday From everything in your review it sounds like a pass to me. I have been switching between these 3 shavers every few months just to see which one I prefer. A very professional, thorough and valuable review. Also, before placing the shaver in the station, the head locking switch must be in the free position; otherwise, the shaver may not sit properly in place. If I was to wash the shaver head with water after every shave and then also spray andis lubricant spray on the head frequently, how often would you recommend using the cleaning charging station? Precisely, men with sensitive, irritation-prone skin or men that shave less often. I then shake off the water and pat everything dry with a paper towel. Thats pretty much what a basic dry cleaning would look like. Its also more comfortable. Thanks again for the comment, much appreciated. Also, most of the clipped stubble remains trapped inside the cassette. Holding on to your Series 9 for the time being is probably the best option. I highly recommended you to try once. Apparently, it must have gotten slightly clogged over time at the drain port. Which direction do you think I should be leaning Braun or Panasonic? I ordered at 7 AM and it was delivered at 1PM the same day, thanks to my Prime membership. Any word on when the 94m cassette will be available in the US? I would say 99.99% shaving performance will be the same as Prestige.
But if you like to skim through the details, heres the short version: Its one of the most enjoyable, comfortable and effective electric shavers on the market right now. My S9 Pro 9477cc also pinched the skin a couple of times and snagged a few long hairs. In my opinion, if you can buy the power case for your existing Series 9, that would be ideal; theres really no need to spend a lot more money on a new Series 9 Pro if your current shaver is actually a bit better for very sensitive skin. The Braun Series 9 Pro is one of the best Ive used so far when shaving a 4-day beard (most of the hairs on my neck stay flat on the skin as well). Well, it has 4 active shaving elements, so thats just marketing fluff. I also wouldnt use it to pre-trim my beard as it would take a lot of time and effort. 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. If you also shave your head, the Series 9 Pro is one of the most capable out there.
As for the RQ12, cost savings would be my guess as well. The locking rings are identical, and although the cutter shaft appears slightly different, it runs normally. I will be testing it again more thoroughly and get back to you. Most likely yes, its been carried over from the 93xx Series 9. I also found that the power case is quite robust except for the plastic bit that connects two sides of the power case it feels very thin and not the most robust solution Braun could put there could be just my impression but I feel like this might snap after a period of opening and closing the case. Ive only managed to find the standard pre-shave gel that must be used with shaving cream, so basically for a wet shave (link to the product page). akkurasierer rasierer elektrorasierer rasierapparat No problem. The foils get only a bit warm after extended use, so no problems in that regard. But the general direction of the company trough out the lineup is cost cutting and you can feel that in every product.
In the past generations, this was only available on a few specific models. If you decide to get a Series 9/Pro, just take your time during the first few shaves until youre comfortable using it and make any tweaks to your technique that seem to improve the results. Charging a Series 9 Pro from the mains takes around 50 minutes. As to the precision switch, I can see the sense in this. I find the prolift trimmer towards the side trimmer. All in all, the closeness with the Braun Series 9 Pro is really good. Its extremely sturdy, very nicely finished and offers excellent protection. Overall, the Series 9 Pro would be a very safe choice for most users. Thank you. I usually recommend the Series 9 over the (old) S7 to users that shave less often or have lots of flat-lying hairs as the Series 9 is better in those situations. (I still have time to exchange my 9390cc, but can only exchange it once, so would be grateful if you can let me know). Which one would you recommend? Close the station and connect the charging cable and youll all set. In order to charge the cases battery, youll have to use the standard Braun charger (also included with each shaver).
Regarding your cassette, unless youre having a difficult time shaving (irritation, poor closeness, lengthy shaving sessions, hairs getting pulled), its probably still good. and then I discovered the shaving gel, could I use that too maybe? I also shaved my head with shaving gel and the Series Pro glides much better did I do something wrong or is the razor just not suitable for the shaving cream but only for shaving foam or gel ..? The Braun S9 remains my favourite shaver. I have really thick and dense hairs on those areas, but if thats not the case, I dont think youll notice a difference. What would be a good step up? The Arc 5 can come across as too aggressive for men with very sensitive skin, so you should factor that in as well. I appreciate the time you have taken to update many of your articles! I replaced the used 94M cassette with a brand new 92S cassette but the foil replacement indicator is still showing 2 bars instead of 5 bars. This makes shaving with the Series 9 Pro effortless and its very easy to maintain the foils in optimal contact with the skin. Theres actually a single 5430 station that one with the step and the charging pins at different levels just looks that way in some of the photos (because of lighting, angle and so on). The Series 9 Pro is clearly better with this type of hair and also if you shave less often, so your beard is a bit longer. (both ideally, but protection at a minimum as the current soft case offers little protection). Just make sure the shaving head is dry before storing the shaver in the case, otherwise it may develop a funky smell in time. You are the best! The S9 Pro is very effective at catching difficult facial hair: longer, stray, flat-lying hairs that also grow in different directions. So, taking the opportunity to upgrade to the latest model, the 9460CC, I must say that after 3 shaves now, Im completely blown away by how much of an improvement the series 9 pro is over the original 9090cc model. Properly cleaning and lubricating your shaver will however extend the cassettes longevity.
And if I then go over my head with my Braun razor, do I have to do it all at once or can I rinse the razor under water in between? 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. Thanks for an inadept review. This resulted in a much closer shave and less to none skin irritation. Thank you for the comment, much appreciated. Thank you for the comment, Brett, glad you found the review useful. I see you mentioned the pro is a little less forgiving on the skin than the 9390cc if I were to have a wet shave with cream, how does the comfort of a shave with a pro compare to that of a dry shave of a 9390cc? 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. The shaving head is not that large for a 4-blade shaver. Im wondering if it makes more sense to purchase the series 9pro ($329) or the services 9390cc ($239). The 94M is still difficult to source, at least in the USA. Im upgrading from a very old Norelco 1250x that Ive attempted to replace for so many years (with both foil and rotary shavers from the major brands) but cant find anything that matches it, and I also find the trimmer very handy. The original 360 Complete foil and cutter block came with such a disappointment! I think its worth getting once its readily available and at a similar price to the 92 cassettes. Mainly for dry shaving.
The flexing of the head and in particular the movement of the individual cutters makes shaving the scalp a breeze.
This is what is available this week (prices in AUD): Braun Series 9 9467cc $449 Braun Series 9 9360cc $399 Braun Series 8 8453cc $275 Braun Series 5 5140S $199. I have a question regarding the foil replacement indicator which comes on after you turn the shaver off. No more problems with a Pro so this is a huge improvement for me. The shaving performance is however identical throughout the entire Series 9 Pro range. If you decide to try it, I recommend applying it first on a small area and see how it goes. This mainly stems from the intrinsic advantages of foil shavers over rotaries and the Series 9 Pro does almost everything right. I have had a beard for 8+ years and returning to using a foil shaver.
Hope someone tossing between a number of shavers finds this useful. Id love to get your advice on a couple of options currently available in Australia. Now, it is on sale for $40 off which brings it down to $160. When I put it towards the button it pull the hair or pinch the skin. After that, I rinse everything with warm water and finally turn off the shaver. Whats The Closest Shaving Electric Razor (2022)? Being a Pro display, it also shows the last remaining 9 minutes of battery charge in actual Arabic digits. Ill also update the review if that will be the case. So if you shave wet (with shaving cream), make sure to rinse the shaving head with water and pat it dry with a towel. Shows youre not a one and done. The Braun 9477cc, as well as the rest of the models in the new 2021 Pro range, are all suitable for wet&dry use. I do not shave my entire head, but I do cut my hair myself and I always use a Series 9 for the skin fade on the sides and back of my head. Ovidiu, Went ahead with purchase of Pro, couldnt resist. 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. Yes, you basically wet the scalp with warm water and apply the product after rubbing it between your wet palms. It is not a shaver but its the best trimmer Ive found for when my the beard is too long and I need to trim it before use my Braun Series 9. I would love to get my hands on a Syncro someday. Thank you for taking the time to explain this in such detail thats very interesting. So, once Im done shaving, I pop the Braun S9 Pro into the Clean and Charge station in order to clean the shaver. This is the area where the Braun Series 9 Pro really shines and its better in my experience than any other foil razor on the market. The cleaning brush also fits nicely in its own place. So you could buy a solo Series 9 Pro that doesnt come with a station or the Power case or a fully loaded model like yours and still get only one charger. I didnt think it was possible to improve what they already had, but they found a way. The models Ive tried over the years that didnt seem to shave as well as the 1250x were the Braun Series 5, Arc-3 (ES-LT7N) and the Philips 9000 Prestige. 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. 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. You dont want dirt building up in the corners of the cassette as it will be difficult to remove in time. Yes, only the type 5430 station will work with the Series 9 94xx. On the other hand, the Series 9 Pro is a lot better with longer, flat-lying hairs. I always take out the cleaning cartridge and put the cap back on once the drying is done. I was actually interested in getting the Series X, but couldnt source one locally yet. Ill try to source one and report back. Only 5430? Just an interesting observation Id like to share. I do this for 10 to 15 seconds. The display is the same as before, pretty basic and not particularly sharp.
Some users could benefit more from shaving wet, but I think most will rather save some time and shave dry. 3. Do you have any experience about this? I have sensitive skin and a tight curly beard. Having had the Panasonic ES-LV67 for two years it suddenly became faulty; one of the cutters would not go sideways properly and caused the razors sensor to activate almost continuously the linkage had broken. In the case of the cc models like the 9477cc, 9465cc, 9460cc, etc. Not sure if this is letter X or roman numeral for 10 it looks more like Philips version of OneBlade. Finally, how would you compare the Braun Series 9 Pro to the newer Revision G Panasonic Arc 5 in terms of closeness of the shave ? Please check your inbox to confirm your subscription. I wonder what pathway Braun has taken that decided to debut S9 Pro as everyone was anticipating S10 to be debut since S9 lifespan has already passed 6 years. The case works like a power bank and according to Braun, it provides an additional 50% worth of battery charge to your Series 9. So if for some reason you cannot get the 94M, you can fall back to one of the older cassettes. 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. The foil replacement indicator was showing 2 bars. I am yet to try the SH91 (on any Philips), but they do seem very intriguing, especially coming from someone that normally prefers foil razors just like I do.
This is completely random but today as I was comparing the older 92S cassette to the newer 94M cassette, I noticed that when looking underneath the cassette that there is a difference between the two cassettes. The S9 Pro is a safe buy for the majority of users out there, regardless of what theyre wanting from an electric razor (if the budget is not an issue). Ive been using 9477cc for a few weeks here in Australia. Thank you! The Definitive Guide. Is the performance of the 94M cassette far superior to the 92S cassette or is it just a minor difference ?
The Series 9 Pro continues to feel very powerful and fast, even more so than previously (mode details later on). braun clean 9370cc shaver Its also quite manageable for a 4-blade shaver, so even a beginner will get used to it. This is starting to feel like a no-brainer, especially when factoring in having to spend $50 for a replacement cartridge for my existing 9095. I will check back with you in 30 days. Just keep in mind that the Beard Lube contains menthol and it can irritate the scalp in some cases. It was a really good deal as well. I think the only option for a hard case that also charges the shaver is the one that comes with some of the Pro models (like the 9477cc). Its not a big deal since the difference between the three cleaning modes is rather insignificant. Performance-wise this shaver is a beast. The former is again carried over from the regular Series 9. I uploaded a side-by-side photo here, maybe you can give me a hint if you have the time (94M on the left). And any electric shaver will snag the long hairs of a beard if you try to get too close. I prefer to remove the cassette and give everything one final rinse, inside out. Is this something that I should be concerned about ? After shaving with the new 9310, it performs about the same as the 9095 and the sound and vibration are practically identical. And thats the main purpose of this case in my opinion. The way I hold a shaver (resting my thumb where old Series 9 lock was) caused a lot of unintended switching of the head and it made me hold the shaver less comfortably as such.
Tip: Before cleaning, I also like to remove the cassette and gently tap out the hairs so they wont end up in the cartridge. But its not always as smooth to put it back on as it sometimes snags onto something. Thank-you so much for posting these reviews. For now, S9 pro buyer will be at peace that the facts S10 will not be out for the coming 3 year.

The 94M is a bit harsher and grabbier, but does seem to shave slightly closer. No spam, just the good stuff. Do the Braun S9 models have something similar? In practice, that claim is a bit misleading as the shaver itself cannot assess that; instead, it uses a simple timer-based logic to determine how long its been since the last automatic cleaning cycle. Hoping to read more from you. Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning nevertheless as some users have asked me specifically about a fix. So far not disappointed and will probably keep. So, I cleaned the entire CCS with mild dish soap and running it under warm water (without the alcohol cartridge inserted). This bought a question to my mind. Thank you for your excellent review I just hope the shaver lasts. Ive been reading your reviews for years.

This is the area where the Braun Series 9 Pro really shines and its better in my experience than any other foil razor on the market. The cleaning brush also fits nicely in its own place. So you could buy a solo Series 9 Pro that doesnt come with a station or the Power case or a fully loaded model like yours and still get only one charger. I didnt think it was possible to improve what they already had, but they found a way. The models Ive tried over the years that didnt seem to shave as well as the 1250x were the Braun Series 5, Arc-3 (ES-LT7N) and the Philips 9000 Prestige. 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. 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. You dont want dirt building up in the corners of the cassette as it will be difficult to remove in time. Yes, only the type 5430 station will work with the Series 9 94xx. On the other hand, the Series 9 Pro is a lot better with longer, flat-lying hairs. I always take out the cleaning cartridge and put the cap back on once the drying is done. I was actually interested in getting the Series X, but couldnt source one locally yet. Ill try to source one and report back. Only 5430? Just an interesting observation Id like to share. I do this for 10 to 15 seconds. The display is the same as before, pretty basic and not particularly sharp.
Some users could benefit more from shaving wet, but I think most will rather save some time and shave dry. 3. Do you have any experience about this? I have sensitive skin and a tight curly beard. Having had the Panasonic ES-LV67 for two years it suddenly became faulty; one of the cutters would not go sideways properly and caused the razors sensor to activate almost continuously the linkage had broken. In the case of the cc models like the 9477cc, 9465cc, 9460cc, etc. Not sure if this is letter X or roman numeral for 10 it looks more like Philips version of OneBlade. Finally, how would you compare the Braun Series 9 Pro to the newer Revision G Panasonic Arc 5 in terms of closeness of the shave ? Please check your inbox to confirm your subscription. I wonder what pathway Braun has taken that decided to debut S9 Pro as everyone was anticipating S10 to be debut since S9 lifespan has already passed 6 years. The case works like a power bank and according to Braun, it provides an additional 50% worth of battery charge to your Series 9. So if for some reason you cannot get the 94M, you can fall back to one of the older cassettes. 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. The foil replacement indicator was showing 2 bars. I am yet to try the SH91 (on any Philips), but they do seem very intriguing, especially coming from someone that normally prefers foil razors just like I do. This is completely random but today as I was comparing the older 92S cassette to the newer 94M cassette, I noticed that when looking underneath the cassette that there is a difference between the two cassettes. The S9 Pro is a safe buy for the majority of users out there, regardless of what theyre wanting from an electric razor (if the budget is not an issue). Ive been using 9477cc for a few weeks here in Australia. Thank you! The Definitive Guide. Is the performance of the 94M cassette far superior to the 92S cassette or is it just a minor difference ?
The Series 9 Pro continues to feel very powerful and fast, even more so than previously (mode details later on). braun clean 9370cc shaver Its also quite manageable for a 4-blade shaver, so even a beginner will get used to it. This is starting to feel like a no-brainer, especially when factoring in having to spend $50 for a replacement cartridge for my existing 9095. I will check back with you in 30 days. Just keep in mind that the Beard Lube contains menthol and it can irritate the scalp in some cases. It was a really good deal as well. I think the only option for a hard case that also charges the shaver is the one that comes with some of the Pro models (like the 9477cc). Its not a big deal since the difference between the three cleaning modes is rather insignificant. Performance-wise this shaver is a beast. The former is again carried over from the regular Series 9. I uploaded a side-by-side photo here, maybe you can give me a hint if you have the time (94M on the left). And any electric shaver will snag the long hairs of a beard if you try to get too close. I prefer to remove the cassette and give everything one final rinse, inside out. Is this something that I should be concerned about ? After shaving with the new 9310, it performs about the same as the 9095 and the sound and vibration are practically identical. And thats the main purpose of this case in my opinion. The way I hold a shaver (resting my thumb where old Series 9 lock was) caused a lot of unintended switching of the head and it made me hold the shaver less comfortably as such.
