October 27, 2017 at 10:59 amYes, Braun 7 or 9 is not a problem because both are the same great shavers. So if we have enough budget we can select something a bit high end technology to something new.

May 4, 2018 at 10:39 pmMY issue with electric shavers has always been the neck area…can I get away with doing one pass with the series 7?? They are so cheap right now. I was also looking at the Panasonic ES-LVN9-S but haven’t read many reviews and I know it’s pricey..again I have a sensitive neck.
John Smith says
