Thanks for your review, it’s proven useful in my decision to acquire a series 8 (with cleaning station).

Electric shavers are a lot more forgiving than manual razors and I think you made the right decision. The Panasonic motor is arguably the fastest fitted to any electric shaver (14 000 cycles per minute vs 10 000 in the case of the Series 7). During and after use, my hand would sometimes fatigue when using the Series 8, which is something I never experienced with the Series 7.There are a few factors that most likely led (cumulatively) to a rather underwhelming shaving experience. Again, I don’t know how much this matters, but at least on the specs sheet, it is superior to the Series 7’s (presumably) 8-bit MCU.

The part number of the older S8 station (no drying function) is 81687143 (also referred to as Braun 5430CS S-8). I’ve actually said it on quite a few occasions that for most users, a foil shaver will likely be a better choice.I am considering moving to a Braun electric and shaving my head every day instead of the old routine of “when I felt stubble”, lol it seems you most highly recommend the Braun 7 which I can now find on sale at Bed Bath and Beyond! This, along with the matte finish of the silver plastic allow you to hold it very securely in your hand, even though the body of the Braun Series 8 has quite a substantial girth. Braun boxes do have those two pieces of clear tape, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in plastic film. The Panasonic Arc 5 isn’t great at this — it works extremely well and gives a very close shave when the stubble is short, doesn’t have a lot of different grains and stands relatively upright. For example, it weighs exactly the same as the 9 and apart from the smaller shaving head, the dimensions are very similar.

Besides, you can’t be certain that the battery is the cause of the problem and even so, with the Series 8 being a newer model you may not be able to source a compatible battery. But then again, if a razor blade gets you better results, that’s perfectly fine as well and you should always stick to what works best. As a consumer, I expect near zero benefit from this change but I also don’t think it hurts anything.If your Series 8 is not a cc model, I’m pretty certain it will not work with a cleaning station purchased separately. I wouldn’t recommend a pre-shave oil as it can clog the shaving head and make it a lot more difficult to clean. This isn’t normally a big deal that’s worth mentioning, however, in this case, I think it is important simply because the Series 7 didn’t have a travel lock. I personally won’t miss it too much, however other users may find it useful when cleaning the shaver manually.
