Braun Activator's new foil has a revolutionary new pattern featuring 4 differently shaped and sized holes in 5 different positions. This offers 20 different hair-capturing opportunities compared with just 1 from a regular foil.
The oscillating movement of the shaver head combined with the new foil pattern, effectively captures and cuts more exposed hair in fewer strokes.
The new Clean&Charge offers three different cleaning programs to meet three different cleaning needs: Eco: One cleaning cycle for people who clean every day.
Smart Logic monitors the battery performance and services the battery when needed by discharging and recharging it automatically. So maximum power delivery is guaranteed for the best possible shaving performance.
The interactive LCD panel provides clear information on charge status, shaving habits, when intensive cleaning is required, and the condition of the battery (Smart Logic).

Summary: Braun 8595 is AMAZING!
Comment: Let me just say this. I have those razor bumps on my neck, at least I use to. I went to the doctors got all of these prescriptions and nothing worked. I finally got this Braun shaver and BOOM, GONE! Amazing shaver and I will not get anything else. Cleans very very well and works wonders. Get this shaver.

Summary: Braun 8595
Comment: I bought this for my dad, but he decided that he didn't need it. so i got it back i was going to return it, but I told myself what the hell I'll try it. After that first shave, I love it ever since then. It's been 2 years and I still haven't change the blade I just empty it out and use the self cleaning system, it works really great. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.
Customer Rating:
Summary: UNDERrated.
Comment: Number of shaves with the Activator: 431
Shave frequency: Once every 3 days
Battery life: Up to 3 or 4 weeks on one charge.
Shave quality: I have semi-sensitive skin and the razor irritated my face slightly at first. However, after my face adjusted to the razor I had no further problems and no longer feel any irritation. It only takes 2 or 3 minutes for a thorough shave (every once in a while you have to use the extension cutter for long hairs). The shave is nearly as close as a wet razor (no electric shave is, despite what they may advertise), and involves no mess because the shaver catches all stubble and you can neatly empty it after shaving. Feel free to shave in the car!
Cleaning: I found that simply brushing the razor kept it plenty clean and the cleaning solution is not essential. If you do choose to clean using the solution more than just on occasion, the solution will last 4-5 weeks and a box of 2 refills will cost around $11.
Foil and cutter replacement: After 431 shaves it is JUST now time to replace the foil and cutters. They lasted well over 18 months for me and still gave a close shave. I am upgrading to the 360 Complete foil and cutter, so the shave should be even better than before (however, I'll be forced to clean with the solution, as you cannot use the brush on the 360 cutters).
Aesthetics: The 8595 is beautiful. It feels solid and looks sleek whether it's in its case, in the cleaner station, in your hand, on the counter, wherever. The cleaner station is a bit bulky, but it looks very nice with the razor.
I highly recommend the Braun Activator, and at $140, it's a steal.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not as good as originally thought
Comment: After seeing all the great reviews I bought this shaver and liked it at first. However after a year or so I was beginning to wonder if paying $5 a month just to maintain this thing in cleaner was worth it. Then I pulled it out of the cleaner once to see the head was burned. The solution was new and full but I remembered hearing it run an awful lot when it cleaned the previous day. I bought a new head and guess what, the exact same thing happened again about two months later. After years of using Braun's shavers this shaver found its rightful place in the trash and I bought a Norelco 8140XL. It cleans under free running water, shaves better, quieter although more powerful in cutting tough areas, and costs way less to buy and no "cleaner tax" to pay every month. I think the new Braun's are grossly overrated.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Braun a hit for Christmas!
Comment: I bought this shaver for my Dad for Christmas. He loves it! Says it works great.

Now, the only self-cleaning razor in the world has irregular foil technology for the world's closest shave every time. Unique clean and charge system keeps blades clean and battery topped off. And the cleaning solution in the base keeps blades in pristine condition so they operate at peak efficiency. Irregularly shaped holes in the shaving foils capture every hair, so you only have to make one pass when shaving. Put the shaver in the multi-function base after use and it's ready to go next time you need it. LCD screen allows you to choose from a variety of shaving programs and view the current battery charge.
