Does anyone know how this compares to the Brookstone fabric shaver?

Brookstone fabric shaver has an adjustable blade which this shaver doesn't have. This shaver is easy gliding and it has a removable catch too. Not having the adjustable blade doesn't make shaving ineffective. I have tried many, many shavers and I love this one. I have NOT tried the Brookstone one though. And Brookstone shaver uses batteries which I really don't like. For one, I have to pay to dispose batteries in my area, #2 I tend to shave very slowly and I really don't want to keep having to replace my batteries which is so inconvenient. This shaver uses power and I don't have to worry about not having any replacement batteries when I am in the middle of shaving my clothes. Conclusion is I am very happy with this shaver. It is powerful, it shaves really good without damaging my clothes, shavings are easy to disposed of, it runs on power which is wonderful, it glides and made all my expensive clothes looking new and I finally found something I know I could get out from the box, plug it in and it does the job...like a vacuum cleaner!!!!

This is the manual. It is expensive but I have yet to find a blade that shaves as close or as comfortable as this one. I have been shaving for over 50 yrs. i have never een the need to try the. " power " model.

Since I wrote my review of the shaver, I just discovered that the shaving head cover CAN be removed, and the cutters CAN also be removed for cleaning. This is all described in the instruction leaflet, which I had earlier misplaced. My model I think is the original 4130. The other models cost a few dollars more, and they re-charge faster. I'm pleased that it's lighter weight, and has a quieter motor than Norelco metal shavers I had owned before. The way the 4130's shaving head flexes and tilts, is a little different than the rigid shavers I was always used to before.

I bought this one a week ago and have really liked the wet shaving improvement. In my experience, if using foam, the shaving time is much reduced - perhaps by 25% when compared with the 790. The wet shave itself is much closer than a dry one too. So on these two counts at least the 799 scores way above the 790.

I have had a Braun shaver since 1986 always liked it, close shave. I was in the retail business and one of our products was electric razors. I always told a customers if you are happy with your shave results don't change brands just upgrade existing. The ones that decided to purchase a Braun because of my reviews had 30 day money back guarantees. Why series 7 over #5 ? The reviews I read made me feel like the #7 had all the bells and whistles and the razor felt good in my hand. I have shaved pretty much every day for over 40 years , a medium heavy beard my wife had to tell to quit bragging about getting the best shave of my life with the series #7. Best features swivel head, great on the neck, cord can be taken on a trip without the cleaning unit. You can refill the cleaning canisters, it does well on a 3 day growth. Pricey yes, I am retired , If my son had a razor on his gift list this is the one I would buy. Sorry I couldn't make a big comparison.

I've seen an improvement over my old cartridge razor. The biggest thing is finding the right blade that works for your skin type. Once you figure that out its a lot better. The razor is great I've really been happy with it. I've had it about 8 months.

It has a standard Braun cutting head and foil, but as I mention in my review, it's a smaller surface than on something like the 7,000 series. So when shaving with it (especially if you have a "heavy" beard) it will take a bit longer, but it is definitely a good quality Braun razor - just smaller (excellently set up for travel).

I'm just trying to find my husband a descent shaver. Can anyone suggest a good one? It doesnt have to be anything really great. Just something reliable that will hold up and do the job for a few years.

Do you mean is it better than the LA63? Assuming that's your question I'd say the answer is"no" if your main concern is closeness of shave--I'd call it a virtual tie there.The Panny has several great features and much to recommend it, but I prefer the Braunmostly because it has a more solid, less plastiky feel and is more manouverable because of the smaller head. It just feels more expensive.I'd say both are outstanding shavers and preference is just a personal subjective thing.Hope this helps, Lee.

I'm sorry that i can't offer you a comparison. I like how this bissell cleans, i like all the add-on tools, and the heavy duty sturdiness. It's heavy, practically needs its own garage, and is bulky. We think it's worth the effort. Other reviewers who like it helped me select this model, and we don't regret the purchase especially at the reasonable price. Good luck to you!

My beard is really tough and it takes quite a while for me to get a close shave, but the Panasonic does a better job than any other shaver I've ever used. Leave the cleaning base at home and just take the charger/cord with you on the road. I can get about 10 shaves on a charge, but I plug the shaver in overnight when on the road. If you clean the shaver under running water you will never *have* to clean it in the base, although that's what I do when not travelling. It's a great shaver... You can't go wrong. I've got the ES8228 and the ES8109. They're pretty much the same shavers with different trim. I replaced a Braun 360.

Prior to purchasing this shaver, I have used several shavers of various brands and prices. None have given me the comfortable shave I am getting from this one. I have used this shaver with both a day growth and several days growth. Just and comfortable and never any pull, even after several days growth. Not only is it comfortable to use, but is very quiet. By far, the best shaver for the price I have ever owned.

I believe the old style gives a faster shave, but it is possible to cut your skin easier. The newer screen slows me down some and I get a few more ingrown hairs. L

my understanding is that all the personna blades are different. only ever used this one though. cant say id recomend it. the blade it self is rather gentle in the razors ive used it in but doesnt stay sharp long. maybe 2 shaves where as with the feather blades i can get 10 shaves out of each

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.

the only difference is that the ES8243A has an extra blade. I think having the extra blade helps get those hair growing in tight areas around your neck. instead having to shave it numerous times, you get to do it twice maybe three times max. its twenty dollars more expensive too so if your skin isn't as sensitive as mine and you want to save a few bucks but still have a good shaver then i guess you should get the ES8103S

The detailed is smaller and a little wider. The detailer has a rotary motor. I've owned a the detailer but I didn't not like it although many people love it. I'm considering trying the razor edger.
