 AS CLOSE AS A BLADE Nov 30, 2005
By Lone Ranger
I recently purchased the Braun Free Control #1775 electric shaver and I can honestly say that it shaves as close as my old reliable Gillette Sensor razor. I've tried other Braun models costing up to 5 times the price of the Free Control and none of them shaves as close. I think the secret is that is uses just one large cutting block which is heavier and closer cutting than those 2 headed models. Also, the floating foil head is MUCH THINNER than the more expensive Braun models. It floats up and down on your face, and the foil itself is very flexible so it compresses onto the cutter and you barely have to press the shaver to your face. For $35. this shaver out performs $150. models and is an unbelievable value. Don't waste your money on anything more expensive, they don't get any closer than this!!!

Excellent Shave, especially for those with the "Fred Flintson" effect Aug 28, 2006
By S. Mendelson
"A Stone Age Kind of Guy!"
I found this razor to be the best one I have ever used! Having sufferd from the "Fred Flintson Effect"(i.e. perminate 5'0clock shadow) all of my life, I have always found it hard to get a close shave, and would always end up with razor burn and having to shave twice a day. WIth this razor, and a little effort, I get a really close, smooth shave which last the day! The charge is quick and last a long time. It is easy to clean, so you constintly get a better shave. FOR THE PRICE and all around quality, you can't beat this razor!

 Great Quality for the price but I am a Norelco man Sep 01, 2006
By Sid V
"Sid"
This price - quality is outstanding. this is a well made shaver for the money. Works plugged in when the battery is drained. This is a big feature. Lets say the battery runs out in the middle of your shave. now what do you do? go out half shaved? Well the Norelco I bought does not have this feature, so I'll keep the Braun handy.
The Braun will give you a pretty close shave - but like all electrics, your face must get used to it. you need to give it time.
After 3 weeks of use my face did get used to the shaver. But I decided I liked the Norelco better than a foil shaver. I think it gets the job done faster with less vibration. But if you like a foil shaver or have no preference, I can highly recommend the Braun.

Nice Electric Shaver for the $$$ Sep 02, 2007
By Jeff
I'm just an average guy who's been using shaving cream and a razor for over 30 years now. Recently I have been using the Fusion razors. Sure, they provide a close shave, but damn, those refills are expensive.
So, I got this Braun. The price was right. The reviews were right.
It does take your skin a couple of weeks to get used to the electric. But it's fast and close.
The charge holds up well. You can charge it then go on vacation for a week and it still shaves.
The side trimmer works well and cuts through any length of hair.
Get this Braun, you won't be sorry.

For once, a real shave Jul 05, 2006
By Charles Gulick
This is one of the best purchases I've ever made. Until this remarkable shaver, which I was steered to by other reviewers here in Amazon, I have not been able to get a decent shave with any razor, blade or electric. I am not young, and shaving under my chin--where the wrinkles are emphasized--has been a problem for years. But this relatively inexpensive Braun does it incredibly well, better than the $100 Remington I've had to throw away, and better even than the 3-bladed Gillettes--with motors or not--although they were the best before the Braun. I hope many will buy this great instrument so it will never be taken off the market. I want it to be there if ever I need a new razor again.
