This cost more than the brand new Braun 130S shaver itself. Am I missing something?

What you are seeing is correct. It looks like you have a retailer that is either liquidating product or running a promotional special. shavers-and-replacement-parts

Paper I just got with mine says they can be ordered online or over the phone, part no. for the blade assembly is WES246A1058, price listed is $10.50, but it had a note that prices are subject to change. Other part nos. are WES246A7398 for the comb attachment at $2.27, WES246A3128 for the battery cover at $1.70, and WES76806761 for the cleaning brush at $0.95 if anyone needs them. The model no. for the shaver is ES246AC.

I would never buy the Clean and Renew system again. I only bought it with my first Braun. It is a gimmick which is expensive. You can easily brush out cut whiskers or carefully wash them out. It is not like the whiskers are actually dangerous and a health concern. I know of wha I speak.

All right, thanks Toby. The fact you also indirectly recommended Williams electric shave lotion also tells me you probably don't work for Braun so you're impartial. It's a fortune for an electric razor, but I think I'll go for it..

It does not hurt me! I really like this shaver. Seems to be a great value for Braun quality. I have not used an electric in decades...so true...not as close as a blade. But close enough!

I plan on buying whatever razor I like and modifying its handle if need be with some duck tape (a few or many turns to make it fatter and stick in there securely). I wouldn't worry too much about getting something "compatible" if you are a fix-it type. Also, such surely beats paying 72 bucks for their "warhammer" model which seems about as effective at everything as this one.

Looking around online, it appears there is a foil here (I don't know the retailer...) and I see them on ebay too (again...not sure). The price is only a little cheaper than the entire shaver, so it's wasteful but it seems like the marketplace just wants us to buy new ones.http://www.shavers.com/product-p/bm60foil.htmAlso looking around online, it seems like people say that the foil lasts 9 months, a year, or longer. So, not too bad of a deal compared with other razors where even the replacement foil costs more than $15.

The spa units are way higher....it wouldn't be this price if was the SAME as the spa. (even if you try to buy a spa unit they are $1000 +) But I've had mine Labelle couple months now and my personal results are very satisfying...... I haven't gone to a spa since owning this one. I really like it.

According to their website, Basically just a few more features, like Sonic Technology, 10,000 micro vibrations with every stroke help to capture more hair. Braun's most thorough and comfortable shave. And Choose from Extra Sensitive, Normal and Intensive modes for your optimal performance in different facial areas..I went from a series 3 to 5 and it was a noticeable difference in closeness of shave. And I thought the Series 3 was great, but the Series 5 is awesome, so I can only imagine the Series 7. I just didnt want to pay the difference from the 5 to 7.

Your post makes no sense, sorry, but I don't understand. Is Razor charging less than Amazon?

I have both (bought the ES8103S first), and the ES8243A is by far the better shaver for me. My 60+ year old face has some tough hair growth and getting a close shave was always a dream, until the ES8143A.A shave does take me 4 to 6 minutes due to some tough under chin areas so I only get 3 to 4 shaves per charge but for me it is worth it. I get up to a year on the foil/blades before I have to replace them. Unfortunate the foil/blades are so expensive. The shaver is 4 years old and going strong.

Because it is new, trendy and funky looking and people will pay this much for all of these qualities. I've had both the old XL and the new Arcitec and the XL is a way better shaver hands down. If I wanted to have something to look good in my bathroom I would buy this. Another thing the older Norelco XL Models are outselling these models hands down.

this post looks fake. (i will NEVER have to use it again! im sincerely sold with my Braun 790cc and i will continue to re-purchase and upgrade to the latest flagship model shavers as they are newly offered by Braun.) c'mon

I've only had mine a short time, but I don't think so, not the way Braun makes shavers. They have always lasted a long time.

Sorry - Just a little late here, but since I doubt you've grown back your hair (neither have I), then you are still looking for the elusive shaver to master 3x as many tough spots as the average bro. I love the Panasonic Vortex on my face, neck, and head. I have used rotary shavers, and most recently had been a loyal Braun consumer. So I have experience with all kinds. I got 5 years out of my first Braun, but since the last one barely made 2 years (not very long IMHO for a $150 shaver) I decided to look around. LOVE the Panasonic. I like it 2x as much as the Braun. I get nearly as close a shave from it as I do with a Gilette Fusion.

When the batteries in my Braun died a few years ago, I took it to "Batteries +" a large retailer of all kinds of batteries from auto to watch and everything in between. Their Medford, OR shop changed the shaver batteries for $20. I am confident they would charge about the same for a Panasonic shaver.
