Braun 8985 Shaver

Braun has been known for various grooming and personal care products for a while. It has proved its mettle in the world of men's electric shavers with several positively reviewed products such as its Activator series shavers. The Braun 8585 shaver is one of these series that has turned a lot of heads. At about $150, this is not a cheap electric shaver, but then it has a host of features that make shaving so uncomplicatedly easy. The new avatar of this shaver-the Braun 8595 shaver-has been introduced with a lot more features and improved digital technology, but despite that the 8585 still remains popular, mainly because the 8595 has a higher price than its predecessor.

Here we take a look at some of the features of this popular shaver.

1. The Braun 8585 shaver is not a rotary shaver; it is a foil shaver. It has a foil that acts as a pair of tweezers to remove obstinate hair from the facial surface, which is then snipped by the blade apparatus. However, it acts much better than a pair of tweezers.

2. Like the new version-8595-has vibrating technology which can vibrate the skin to elevate extremely difficult hairs. These are the hairs that stay flat on the face and are missed by most cheap razors. However, this pro razor finds such hairs and removes them effectively.

3. The 8585 is provided with various shaving head pivots. The role of these pivots is to follow the contours of the face. As a result, the shaver makes sure it doesn't miss out on any curve of the face. You get a closer shave that is quite perfectly done-not a single curve of the face is missed out on.

4. The best part-and the most recommended one-is that the shaver has three different cleaning functions. The very fact that the shaver self-cleans itself is a novelty because most shavers don't do that. The cleaning is as per your frequency of usage-weekly, biweekly or monthly. An alcohol based cleaning fluid is used, which doesn't just clean the shaver but removes all shaving debris that might be collected in unreachable areas. There is also an auto dry function.

5. The charge is quite good. You just have to charge for an hour to be able to use the shaver for a continuous fifty minutes. This is again a point that's much better than other similar products available in the market. There's a charging base provided and there's also a speed charging option if you want to use the shaver for just one quick shaving session in a hurry.

6. The Braun 8585 shaver is great as a traveling companion. One of the reasons for that is the quick charging option that it has. Another reason is that it can be directly plugged into an electrical socket and used. So if you don't have a possibility of charging the shaver, you can use the direct electrical option.

7. There is no display as the 8595 has, but there are indicator lights that indicate the charge is low.
