Braun's Five Steps for our Best Electric Shaver Ever


1. Shave before showering:
You will get a closer shave if skin is free of moisture. Too much moisture will expand the hair and make it difficult for the foil blade to get close to the follicle.

2. Shave against the direction of beard growth:
Hold the shaver at a right angle to the skin. Lightly stretch your skin and shave against the direction of beard growth. Use light, gentle strokes when shaving. Avoid pressing hard or going over the same shaving area repeatedly.

3. Keep you electric razor clean and lubricated:
Braun recommends using the Clean&Renew system which is our most advanced cleaning system. At the touch of a button, it automatically cleans, lubricates, dries and charges the shaver, keeping it feeling like new everyday.

4. Replace your foil and blades every 18 months or when indicated by your shaver (feature not available in all models):
Replacing your foil and blades every 18 months will guarantee optimal shaving performance.

5. Moisturize after shaving:
Apply an after shave balm or moisturizer after you shave to ensure your skin stays well hydrated.

The Gillette Blade Technology doesn't pull your hair like other shavers do, especially for those with long course hair. The Sensitive Flexing Head is very well designed, with twice the pivoting angle of other Braun shavers, and with touch-sensitive foils, it pivots and flexes for maximum facial conformity.


The Clean&Renew™ system will save you precious time in the morning. The efficient cleaning station cleans, lubricates, dries and charges the shaver. The stubble is retained in the cleaning cartridge for easy disposal. There are no filters to replace and no cleaning of the unit is required. With frequent use each cartridge lasts on average 2-3 months. The end result is a clean and hygienic shaver which will preserve the integrity the shaver, expanding its life. The shaver has the option to be charged separate from the cleaning station, with the cord. The shaver will remind the user when its time to replace the foil and cutter cassette by flashing the replacement symbol.

We received the Pulsonic® Shaver model 9585 to test.

Our tester, David, has coarse and fast growing hair. Up until now, David, had been using a low end electric shaver which wasn't able to give a quality shave. He would then have to go over the missed areas with a disposable razor which would nick and cut his sensitive skin, leaving him red and uncomfortable. In addition, the shaving process left quite a mess, with little hairs all over the sink and counter. Repeating this routine daily was next to impossible and David was looking for a better alternative.

David had not shaved for 2 days and this is his before picture:


David reviewed the detailed instruction manual and was informed about Braun's recommendations for getting the best shave and followed these guidelines. David proceeded to shave with the Pulsonic Shaver® and here follows his comments:

"The Pulsonic® shaver is lightweight and easy to position for a close comfortable shave. I was very pleased with the close shave that I was able to achieve without irritation. Usually, I have difficulty shaving my neck area, however with the Pulsonic shaver, I was able to shave this area with ease. I was done with shaving in record time. I really appreciate that the shaver doesn't leave fine shavings all over the place like my other electric shaver did! The Clean&Renew™ system is fantastic. The cleaning station cleans and dries my shaver quickly and efficiently, and leaves ts ready for a new shave each time. This really saves me time in the morning which I am grateful for. I am most impressed by this shaver and would highly recommend it to men of all ages."

24 hours later, David shaved again:


"Your face adapts over time to the shaver so overtime you can expect to get an even better shave," says David.
