Consumer Feedback: Read Amazon Consumer Reviews on the Braun Series 7-720 Men's Shaver
Who Would Buy This: Those shopping for a high-end foil shaver packed with advanced shaving technologies. The sealed body makes this shaver waterproof so you can have either a wet or dry shave.
Pros:
In terms of ergonomics, this shaver looks and feels substantial which makes it easy to hold and get a solid grip of.
The Braun Series 7-720 features Braun’s most advanced shaving technologies to give you a great shave regardless of how manly your stubble is. Pulsonic technology produces over 10,000 micro vibrations for each stroke to provide unrivalled power so you spend less time shaving.
The smartly designed shaving head is contour adaptive so it cleverly adapts to the contours of your face so those awkward areas around the neck and jaw are no longer a problem. The head has a locking option to keep it locked in place so you can attain greater precision where shaving other areas of your face.
Braun’s triple action cutting system uses three individual cutting elements which work in unison to cut long hairs which low-end shavers often miss. OptiFoil technology features holes of varying sizes to ensure that whiskers growing in opposing directions are all captured at their root. In the middle of the shaver foil you’ll notice the ActiveLift trimmer. This patented piece of tech has the role of lifting and cutting flat hairs so your face isn’t left patchy and all hairs are caught.
A handy pop-up trimmer is situated on the side of the shaver. This precision trimmer is great for tidying up long hairs.
Battery life for the 7-720 is very impressive. A one hour charge gives you 50 minutes of cordless shaving, which is enough to last several weeks. Battery status is indicated on the 2-stage LED display, which is pretty basic, but does its job. There is also a 5 minute quick-charge option which is handy in those instances where you need to leave home at short notice and need a quick shave. The shaver can also be used when connected to an outlet, which is very useful if you intend this to be your primary home shaver.
The fully washable design means you can rinse the shaving head and cutter under tap water for very easy maintenance.
Included is a smart plug which allows you to use the shaver on 100-volt or 240-volt power sources. For international travellers, this saves you forking out additionally for a conversion adapter.
Cons:
Unlike earlier Braun shaver models, it doesn’t include a protective plastic cover for the shaver head. Quite frankly, we’d expect one of these to come as standard for a shaver of this calibre.
The power cord connects to the shaver via the back opposed to the bottom like on earlier models. From a comfort perspective, we prefer the older design.
The travel pouch doesn’t have space to accommodate the power cord so we feel this could have been designed better.
Guarantee: 2-year warranty.
Summary
The Braun Series 7-720 Men's Shaver is a fine shaver which is suited to those who want a very close shave without using a blade. This shaver has many premium design touches which bring a refined elegance and also make using it pleasurable. There are a few areas of improvement needed we feel, but this is still a class shaver.
We like the fact that it can be used either directly a power outlet or cordlessly, this is something which Panasonic foil shaver models don’t provide.
Users in particular compliment the speed and comfort it provides. Those after a top quality foil shaver without the added expense of cleaning systems should strongly consider this model.
