Is the Dreadnought Spartan a mild, medium or aggressive shaver?

Medium. its a great razor I use it everyday once you use it you won't go back

It is a mild to medium razor depending on the blade. I don't like the smooth handle so I replaced it with one with some texture.

It is a mild shaver. The head is the muhle r89 closed comb, which is a mild shaver much lauded by both new and experienced wet shavers alike.

I'd say medium to aggressive (Feather blades, not very heavy beard). I'd say save a few bucks and go with a Merkur 33C (I use one of those on my head) or splurge for what, in my opinion, is an awesome razor - Feather AS-D2 (super mild).

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 have really rough facial hair, and I have to say NO to this shaver. It does not shave close and you will always have a rough feeling. The reason may guys don't have bumps is because the razor does not shave close. Great for us, but hated by the women. My woman likes me to have a very smooth face, but you won't get it with this shaver.

Aloha from Kaua'i. Yes - I am pleased I got it as well. While the unit and blades rinse off well under a flow of warm water, I find it useful to be able to put the shaver in the unit each time I use it. I then select the clean and dry function. The shaver is fantastic: the best ever and I have been through almost all Brauns with mixed results!

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

Good evening Mr. Mitchell - This razor is considered more toward the mild side vs the aggressive side. Hope this helps!

I'm even more late, but thought I'd add my 2 cents. I have used two norelco rotary shavers, two Braun foil shavers and a Panasonic foil. Hands down the best shave is from the Panasonic. One of the Norelco's is my first electric razor purchased back in 1994 and still running like new - now that is quality construction. However the shave closeness is not as good compared to more recent shavers and takes forever. The other norelco is a much newer one, one of their recent nivea lotion models. I can get a good shave out of it, but it lacks in comparison to the Panasonic, not as close and takes much longer. The Braun's both performed excellently, but always left me with irritation, and sometimes good burns too. Both were self-cleaning synchro shavers. If you want strictly dry shaving, Braun is a good choice. Panasonic, a fully immersible wet/dry electric, I may have never used this razor dry, I can't remember so I won't comment on that. i prefer wet shaving with a quality soap or cream and brush, in the shower. It always gives me an almost blade close shave, without any irritation or most importantly bleeding. It never looses power when confronted with dense growth unlike the norelco's. If I have 2 days growth the norelco motor is audibly and sensibly effected. The Panasonic is unaffected It's motor plows through anything. I have loved my Panasonic ES8228S so much, but have decided to upgrade to the ES-LA93K. Will the Panasonic be up on ebay, like the fate of my other dis-guarded razors? HELL NO! I will keep it for a rainy day, change of pace, in case the 93k explodes or some other act of God takes it from me. I will continue to love my ES8228S for it's lifetime. Seriously guys, it's that good.

It's smooth. I use it fort shaving creams as well. I'm sure you'll love it! Unfortunately my son broke it last week so going to have to order a new one!

The one I received seems to be the same to me, cost and performance wise. I know when it's time to change it; it starts pulling at my stubble instead of cutting it cleanly. I use mine daily and it's still going strong.

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.

The razor pictured has a 3-piece, vs the butterfly twist to open of the Razorock Jaws razor. I have both, a butterfly and a 3-piece, Edwin Jagger DE89Lbl. Razors are aggressive to gentle, and what you require or prefer will depend on your skin, whisker toughness, lather and blade. The best you can do is try a few and see what you are happiest with. Aggressiveness depends on how much blade is exposed after closing the razor or tightening the head. Also, the blade As much as I'd like to tell folks I have a barbed wire beard, the reality is I prefer my Edwin Jagger's more gently configuration. A good Q & A can be found at the Badger and Blade website. Good luck. The razor pictured has a 3-piece, vs the butterfly twist to open of the Razorock Jaws razor.

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.

The Edwin Jagger De89 is well balanced. I find it just aggressive enough and it works great on my course thick hair with feather blades.The Merkur Progress is adjustable and able to be more or less aggressive than this razor.Hopes this helps!

It shaves very close, but it's meant for facial hair. Don't expect a clean shave like with a razor. That said it DOES shave very close. If I normally trim my beard on #2 with most shavers, I have to use setting #4. So on #1 it'll leave the finest stubble you can imagine. Maybe that's what you are looking for?

It is chrome, and it holds up very well. You get the best shaves when you use Wilkinson Sword Blades, Sharks or Astra. I have a large collection of Gillette Super Speeds, Techs etc., for a double edge razor it stands right there with them with the quality of shaves you get. Always remember to make three passes for the best BBS shave, but it will work fine with only two.

I suppose. It has 3 different heads with different foils. The Sensitive foil is for a less close shave, the Comfort foil is for most men, and the Ultra Clean is for men with tough beards. I guess some men think that a five o'clock shadow is sexy.

The handle is somewhat short but I have found that the shorter handle helps give me more control while shaving. Even though the handle is smooth I have not had any trouble gripping the razor while wet. I love the Edwin Jagger razors.
