Summary: Overrated
Comment: I've had this shaver for about two months, and I keep hoping each time I use it that my face will "get used to it" as the manual says, so that it can justify the high rating it has on here. That hasn't happened, so I am switching back to my 5-year-old rotary razor until I buy a new one.
The first thing I noticed when I turned this on is that it is very loud. I am almost embarassed to use this shaver since everyone in my house can hear it clearly, even with the bathroom door closed. It sounds like an alarm going off or something.
The next thing I noticed was that it misses a lot of hairs on my face. I've since tried it with my facial hair grown to various lengths, and it misses some no matter what. It has also resulted in more in-grown hairs than I have ever had before.
It's nearly impossible to get my neck smooth, and I end up spending twice as long on that area than the rest of my face, struggling to get it smooth. By the time I'm finished I have several cuts on my face and it hurts for hours after. Also, it can take a good half-hour to finish shaving with this thing.
Overall I chose this shaver based on the high rating it got here, but it has far from lived up to it and I feel like I've wasted my money. Beware the inflated rating.

Summary: Comfort
Comment: This is by far the most comfortable electric shaver I have ever owned and I bought my first one in 1946! You can hardly feel it and it does as good a job as any.

Summary: Braun 1775 rechargeable shaver
Comment: Works well for my husband - it was a gift. He likes the shave it gives, close and comfortable (sensitive skin). It stays charged good, also, contrary to some others he's used.

Summary: Braun shaver ok
Comment: It is a very nice shaver. I have a Braun with square heads on it that I got at WalMart, and it just can't handle my beard.
For some reason, the curved head Brauns have always worked better for me than the Phillips or Remington types.
But I have a very heavy beard, and maybe that's the difference.
I love the thing -- and it goes for at least a week on a charge!!

Summary: Adequate, for the price
Comment: I don't know if it is my face or what, but I have never had much luck with an electric shaver. I started shaving with a Braun foil shaver about 10 years ago. It left random long hairs, so I switched to a Mach 3 razor. A few years later I tried a Norelco rotary, which would work in a pinch, but for only about two days in a row before I would need to cleanup the scraps the a razor. And even then it was not as close as I would like.
After getting sick of shaving with a razor every day, but not wanting to spend $250 on something that might not work better then the shaver I already had, I decided to buy the 1775, which had good reviews.
It took over three weeks for my face to adjust to this shaver, but once it did, I was fairly happy with the results. It still leaves long hairs on my neck, but it shaves everything else quite close. I still have to clean up my neck with a razor every three days or so, but just a little bit, so its quick and I don't even both lathering up.
Overall, this is a good shaver for the price. However, for me at least, it is not sufficient to replace a razor completely. I would be happy with any shaver that allows me to need a razor once a week or less. I will probably end up trying one of Braun's top of the line models, but until then, I am content with this budget model.
