Electric razors are pretty well known for giving an "ouchless" shave. No nicks, no cuts--plus they stay sharp, unlike traditional razor blades. What they're not as well known for is shaving as close as a traditional razor. Now, with the Braun 8595 Activator Men's Shaver, the reputation of electric razors is due for an upgrade.

This is thanks in part to Braun's Active Head Technology, which allows the 8595 razor to automatically adjust to every angle and curve of the face, with baby-smooth results. The four-way moving head oscillates to cut hair at the root. Thick hairs, thin hairs--they're all captured in 8595's new foil with variable shaped holes, for a more efficient shave with just one stroke. The 8595 also includes an advanced middle trimmer and extendable long hair trimmer for facial hair and sideburns.

Some cordless electric razors take too long to charge, or they don't hold enough power and quit in the middle of a shave. Braun 8595 takes just one hour to fully charge, and provides 50 minutes of shave time--two or three weeks' worth of shaving. Of course, not everyone can wait an hour, so the 8595 also has a three-minute quick charge option for just one shave.

The Three Cs of Shaving: Close, Comfortable and Clean

Dirty razors spread bacteria, which can cause infection, and a razor clogged with stubble and residue can't operate at peak performance. Braun 8595's Clean & Charge function ensures a squeaky-clean razor each time you shave--by plugging it into the charger and pressing a button, the 8595 automatically cleans and dries itself. By covering the three c's of shaving, Braun has created a superior new electric razor.
