How many hair falls from shaver to your neck? I want to know if the Pulsonic has something like a vacuum or if the hairs that are being shaved stay in the electric shaver?

Hello JJI. I have been meaning to respond to your post and used my braun 9595 for the 2nd time only today. I'm a doctor and appreciate your concern which is genuine and as you explain, far from ideal to end up with hairs in your trachy site. Unfortunately, I think you're safer staying away from this shaver for your particular concern since there was a considerable amount of small hairs that fell during my shave today. I could clearly see those hairs in the sink and since they fall out dry, they are more difficult to extract and clean. I don't know if you currently shave with 'wet' razors, but I would imagine that is the safest and cleanest way to shave around the area. Dry hairs tend to be problematic to remove and most likely to elicit the undesired inflammatory reactions although less likely obstruct the area due to their minute size. This shaver does not have a vacuum system and I don't know how it compares to others since this is my first electric shaver. Also, I can't even comment on the quality of shave at this very early stage yet but I'll leave a review in due course. I hope this is useful but please accept this at face value as my opinion only from what I've experienced personally so far. Its worth mentioning that my stubble is slightly thicker than your average stubble. All the best.

I cannot say for sure because I never really searched for them. Nor will I look for them because my razor keeps shutting off when I am shaving. I am not saying this is a bad shaver it just can't keep up with my whiskers. But then again I haven't found any kind that does. Electric, single, double or triple. So I am sorry that I cannot help.

I am sorry I don't know. The shaver is with my son at college and I can't remember the details.

The shaver will actually tell you when you need to clean it. i always clean it when it goes from 100% power to 40% power. That way, it seems to give me the best shave

It doesn't shave at all. Nothing even close to a clean shave. It purposely leaves "stubble". I shave most of my face with a blade. I trim my very large mustache with the QT4000/42 at a high setting for long length.The portion left (goatie) I use the lowest close setting for a stubble look. This shaver is NOT something that could leave your face smooth and clean. Made for what I use it for and nothing else. Hope this helps.

No, I bought the shaver to keep daily growth down as I like to use a blade only twice a week,but it wouldnt even cut small hair growth off let alone trim it. The shaver was always empty.I looked it over carefully, and it didnt seem damaged in any way. Just doesnt work.

I would have to say it would be the convenience of having just one main shaver unit. It works great. It also fits in the travel case with the main razor and head. You should look for a coupon. I found a $10 off coupon from Phillips Norelco and snapped one up. Glad I did.

When I received my shaver I put it in charger slot and while reading instruction book it charged up. It has never went down during a full shave and is always full charged because I set it in charger/cleaner when not in use. In the 50 plus yrs I've shaved this the best electric shaver I have bought or used. Don't pass up this purchase

honestly im a really hairy guy and this last about 3 shaves. after that it starts to get dull. If you want the closest shave possible on your back.. buy it. I wish it lasted longer but that's the price one pays for being hairy. :)

When I use it, my head stays on after I am done. I only use it to shave hair though. It leaves the hair at stubble length. Roughly the same length as 24 hours after using a razor blade.

I undersand your concern, I am not a fan of those moving shaver heads either, yet this model does not have this feature, the shaver head on this model does not move at all :-).

It's been two or three years since I tried it. I think I remember that it came with one replacement set, but you would need to buy additional replacement sets as they would need to be replaced. But cleaning the device out after each use was key to have it work most effectively. I did not find that it gave me a close enough shave, so I returned it - which is where Norelco game me problems about refunding me all of the money that I spent. Their promise turned out to be a lie. Bad job on their part. Good Luck!

The question is not clear to me as I have no pictures to look at. But the shaver I bought was a great big disappointment to me. It is totally worthless.. will not work at all and hasn't after using two times. The only reason I did not return it... all papers and etc. had been thrown away.

It has been awhile since I purchased mine. It works great. Lots of attachments. The model on the shaver reads 76 - 76A. On the box it is called Classic 76 Professional. Like I've mentioned it has been quite sometime since my purchase. I enjoy mine each time I use it. It has a heavy feel to it and I'm sure that I researched before I made my purchase. These are the original cutters in America from way back. Now, who knows where anything is made and what kind of parts are in it. I am very pleased with mine.

Don't despair S. Gunnell, whenever you change shaving methods (blade, foil or Phillips rotating cutters style) it takes three weeks or more for your skin to adapt to the different methods. I myself experienced this when I switched from my old Braun to a blade, then again when I purchased this braun. I have found this to be the best electric shaver I've ever used to the point that I'm considering buying another when they discontinue this model to eventually replace my current 8995 when it wears out!I have no experience with the Pulsonic, however. I found it curious that the replacement cutter/foil is more expensive with the 8995 than the Pulsonic.(At least in my local stores) Don't despair S.

I'm bald, so there's not much human hair. I do have two Golden Retrievers who shed enough hair to make a new dog. That's why I got the cordless vac - to do quick hair pickup jobs. I've got mostly hardwood floors; the vacuum switches back and forth from the rotary brush to no brush easily, and it picks up a lot of hair in either mode.
