Sonic micro-vibration technology for maximum comfort: The 790 features innovative Sonic Technology that delivers 10,000 micro-vibrations with every stroke to soothe your skin while you shave, for maximum comfort.

On top of Normal Mode, the 790 also comes with Sensitive and Intensive Modes which can be used accordingly for different facial areas, giving you an adjustable shave that best fits your beard and skin.

Patented ActiveLift captures flat-lying hair in any problem area: ActiveLift is the world‘s only patented middle trimmer with 130 movements per second which actively lifts and cuts flat-lying hair. Many years of research show us that men‘s biggest need in shaving is a thorough shave even in the hard-to-reach neck area where flat-lying hair often occurs. Featuring an asymmetrical shape, the ActiveLift is especially designed to capture tricky hair in any problem area.

OptiFoil for perfect closeness that lasts longer: The OptiFoil is the most advanced foil from Braun. The unique geometry with ergonomically sized holes captures more hair and cuts them deeper than ever before. The specially designed hexagonal holes are of varying sizes. Small holes give optimal shaving results at a 90° angle while larger holes capture more hair and cut deeper at different angles. The result is Braun’s closest shave ever.

Fully Flexible Shaving System for maximum facial adaptability: The flexible foil shaving head flexes to perfectly match the contours of your face.

Shaving FAQ

What‘s the difference between foil and rotary shavers?

Rotary shavers are designed to work with cyclical movements while Braun foil shavers are designed to work with efficient sideways movements on the skin giving perfect control and precision. The foils protect the skin from irritation and are specifically designed to deliver the most thorough and comfortable shave from Braun.

What‘s the difference between the different Series 7 models?

The 790 model has the most advanced display among Braun shavers--an LCD display with very precise indication of charging, battery and detailed hygiene status. It comes in an elegant metal color. It also features the most advanced cleaning center from Braun which hygienically cleans, charges, lubricates and automatically dries your shaver.

Why would I need a cleaning centre when I can clean my Series 7 shaver under water?

Braun’s tests show that cleaning your shaver with a Clean & Renew system is 10 times more hygienic than cleaning it under the tap. It’s also more convenient as it cleans at the touch of a button.

I already have a cleaning center from my previous Braun shaver (Pulsonic or Synchro). Can I use it with the new Series 7 shaver?

No, the Series 7 cleaning centre is the ultimate model from the Braun Clean & Renew line and can‘t be used with previous models. The latest cleaning centre provides you with the best technology available in a cleaning centre.

How often do I need to exchange the cleaning Centre refill cartridge?

If you clean your shaver with the cleaning centre twice a week, you will only need to replace the Refill Cartridge every two to three months to experience a shaver like new, every day. The Subscribe & Save option from Amazon allows you to subscribe for a regular home delivery and save 10% on the price of the Clean & Renew Refill. You don‘t have to think about it and always have a Clean & Renew Refill available when you need it.

Do you have any recommendations on how to shave with an electric foil shaver?

Braun recommends you shave before you take a shower. After a few days without shaving, for example during the weekend, you should trim your stubble before you shave. Stretch the skin and shave against the direction of beard growth. Hold the shaver at a right angle (90°) to your skin. Keep the pressure even to achieve the most thorough and comfortable shave from Braun.

How often do I need to change the shaver head?

Braun recommends replacing all cutter parts every 18 months. A replacement part indicator is included in the display to ensure you know when to exchange the cutter parts, in order for your shaver to always stay at 100% performance.

Does the battery have a memory effect as we know it from cell phone or laptops?

Memory effect is when rechargeable batteries lose their maximum energy capacity after they are repeatedly recharged after being only partially discharged. Series 7 shavers use a Li-Ion battery which has no memory effect. You can recharge it whenever you want and it has a low self-discharge rate (vs. NiMh batteries). Li-Ion batteries are therefore the most powerful and long-lasting battery available for Braun shaver

Do the Braun Series 7 shavers have a warranty? How long is it?

All Braun‘s shavers come with a two-year manufacturer‘s warranty.
