Is it this both wet and dry shave?

I primarily use it when my skin is dry, but have also used it on hot humid days when it is impossible to have 'dry' skin after a shower. There is more pulling on the skin, but the resulting shave is acceptable.

See my review. There is a world of difference, in my opinion. When I finish my dry shave cycle my shave is close, but a wet shave (I use hot water, no foam) makes a significant difference in closeness and comfort. The 799 is worth every penny.

The term "wet" in this case means that the shaver can be used with shaving creme or even in the shower. The electrical parts are effectively sealed so that they will not be damaged if it gets wet. Personally, I have never used this in the shower. I have occasionally used it right after showering when my face is still wet, but I honestly don't find it to makes much of a difference from a "dry" shave. If anything, I think wet whiskers tend to easily clog the cutters. That's why I generally use it dry.

Would you believe I am 67 and have never shaved with an actual razor? It is true. So I don't have stiff stubble. It works great so far. I do not use it wet, only dry ....about every two weeks.

Thanks your question. it only shave the surface.and keeping dry skin is better when you use it.

Yes. I usually shave in the shower and use a regular razor on underarms. Even thought this is good for a wet/dry shave, I don't use it that way.I have used it once and it worked well.

Here is what I believe is happening. There is a problem with these reviews. There are two Braun shavers. One can be used wet or dry. One can not, but both say they are washable. A number of the reviews for the wet n dry are showing up on the plain shaver non wet n dry page. Go to this link for a comparison of the models. http://www.amazon.com/Spice-Shave-Trim-powered-Braun/dp/B00H9A40SM/ref=pd_sbs_hpc_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1ZANFZBQ519PFBWEB0TQ

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.

Probably just me, but shaving in the shower with a DE razor would be like trying to drive while blindfolded. I need to see my face with the razor touching my face. If not, I have visions of "Sweeney Todd" flashing in front of my eyes. And as many say, the razor needs to be dried (and kept dry) after each shave. It's not a cheap plastic razor like we are all used to.

I've been blade shaving for as long as I've been shaving (I'm 68 yrs old). I tried a few electrics but I never got the close/clean feel of a blade. I also used a Mach 3 but will have to disagree with you about the inexpensive blades. That's one of the reasons that I decided to give this wet/dry a try. Being total honest I don't think it gives as close of a shave as a blade but by the same token it dosen't remove as much skin either. As far as cost, I have owned my wet/dry since Dec. 09 and I just replaced the foil and blades at a cost of 50+ dollars. It helped a little speeding up my shaving time but I think the old foil and blades could have gone a few more months. I don't think your thinking is wrong it's just that everyone's different and has their own opinion. Watever works best for you is right.

Yes shaver is waterproof and easy to clean if needed, but the cleaning cycle is very effective. The cleaning unit is not waterproof though and requires cotton swabs to periodically clean everything b

I would say yes as per another website : Shave wet or dry thanks to the AquaTec seal The Philips Norelco AT830 PowerTouch Cordless Razor lets you shave any way you want. An Aquatec seal gives you the option of either a comfortable dry shave or a refreshing wet shave with or without shaving cream or gel.

No. Another reason it didn't work for me. Very cumbersome. And uneven shave.

I've tried both. I can't tell the difference. I get an excellent shave with either.
