This is hands down one of the best razors I’ve ever owned. The Braun Series 9 Pro 9487cc delivers an incredibly close shave — my face is smooth to the touch every time, with no stubble left behind. What really sets it apart, though, is how gentle it is on my skin.
With other electric razors, I’d often deal with irritation, razor bumps, and rough patches, sometimes needing extra skincare afterward just to recover. Not with this one. The shave is close, but never harsh. I still apply a post-shave ointment out of habit, but honestly, my skin doesn’t feel irritated or damaged even after multiple uses.
Another thing I’ve noticed is that I don’t need to shave as often. I’m still shaving a few times a week, but the frequency seems lower, likely because of how cleanly this razor cuts.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The cleaning base does a great job, but I personally recommend brushing off the cartridge after each use before docking it. It keeps things fresh, helps maintain a consistent shave, and probably extends the life of the razor head — especially important given the premium price tag.
Extra Features
I also use the skin vibration/massager attachment (forget the exact name) to help work in aftershave. Especially when I was transitioning from a previous razor that caused bumps, this feature helped dramatically reduce inflammation overnight. Now it’s a standard part of my routine, and my skin stays smooth and clear.
Final Thoughts
Yes, it’s expensive — but the performance justifies it. If the Series 9 Pro is out of your price range, I’ve used the Series 7 before and can confidently say that’s also a great option with similar skin-friendly results. But if you want the best, this is it.
Highly recommended for anyone with sensitive skin, or for those who simply want a top-tier shaving experience.
