Series 7 7027cs

My old Braun crapped out. It was more rectangular shaped and it had button releases on either side of the head to make it easy to remove. This razor is t-shaped, lighter, but it is awkward to remove the head as there are no release buttons. Rather, you need to get your fingernail in between to remove the head for cleaning. After a week's worth of removing the head I've finally got it down to where I feel comfortable removing it. Putting it back on is easy. Also, there is no built-in trimmer. My old Braun had a flip up trimmer built in whereas this one you remove the head and replace it with the included trimmer and snap it on. Kind of a pain. Otherwise I think the razor is great. Holds a great charge, smooth shave, and lightweight. UPDATE: since using shaver for 6 months I've put some pictures in demonstrating the removal and replacement of the head and of the trimmer. You need Strong fingernails to separate the heads from the razor itself. It's a bit inconvenient, but once you get used to it, it's really not that bad. The battery on this is great. Granted, I shave every 3 days, but the charge on this lasted for over 4 weeks. That would be at least 12 times on a single charge. Again, depending on the heaviness of your beard and frequency of shaving. I would not spend the extra money on the cleaning base with solution as that gets expensive as with my previous Braun razor. Now I just buy a can of lubricant spray meant for razors and a can of compressed air to clean out the razor head. Works great and it's cheap. I like the razor very much short of some of it's minor inconveniences.

The Braun Series 7 7027cs is hands down the best electric razor I’ve ever used. From its sleek design to its impressive performance, this shaver truly delivers on every front. First, the shaving experience is exceptional. The foil technology provides an incredibly close and smooth shave without irritation, even on sensitive skin. Whether I’m using it wet with shaving cream or dry for a quick touch-up, the results are consistently top-notch. The beard trimmer attachment is also a fantastic addition, making it easy to maintain edges and detail work. The build quality is excellent. The razor feels solid and well-made, yet lightweight and comfortable to hold. The waterproof feature is a game-changer—I can use it in the shower without any issues, and cleaning it under running water is a breeze. Battery life is impressive. A full charge lasts for several shaves, and the charging stand is compact and convenient. The included travel case is a nice touch, making it perfect for use at home or on the go. Overall, the Braun Series 7 combines advanced technology with thoughtful design, making it worth every penny. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-performance electric razor, this one won’t disappoint. Highly recommend!

The first thing to know about this particular package is that it's, in essence, a bundle consisting of a modified 7020s shaver and an appliance dubbed Smart Cleaning Center S-5434 which also cleans & charges the shaver, hence the "cc" as part of its moniker. Incidentally, if the letter codes pique the🧠 cells; "s" indicates a charger & "cs" indicates a stand which one can safely place the shaver while charging. Other Features I. 360-degree Flex Head which theoretically follows the contours of the countenance no matter how it's shaped via two unique mounts this head can swivel up/down as well as left\right for the utmost comfort with minimal chafing skin sensitivity. II. A tripartite shaving head comprising of a central trimmer which is engineered to keep the long flat hairs tame & includes a micro comb used to guide the hair towards the blades, bookended by a pair of foil cutters which facilitates haircutting for a clean shave @ the skin level. This is enclosed in a cassette cartridge, This package can also move freely as well. III. Auto Sense Technology purports to adapt the shaver to the hair density on the face to try to deliver maximum hair cutting power. IV. Easy Click Attachments that snap on/off to the shaver body as needed via standardized connection, useful to trim the beard, mustache & sideburns! Other models include specialized combs to enable to have the unique look desired. One version is the 7089cc which was the runner-up to the 7071cc with the whole enchilada packing, not just the sideburn trimmer, beard & stubble trimmers but including 3 more cleaning cartridges to go with the Smart Cleaning Center but I didn't care for the Atilla The Hun look, IMHO, gray beards & mustaches are unattractive & I don't have a double chin either! In addition, the 7089 is BLACK which I loathe! V. Cordless Wet or Dry capability even shaving cream @ the cost of not working while working connected via an old-school outlet. The 7071cc has a lithium-ion polymer battery that charges in one hour which provides 50 minutes of shaving which gives me between 2.5-3 weeks of shaving. there's also a 5-minute quick shave opt n as well as the ability to run on voltages ranging from 110-240v. & either 50-60Hz making this shaver the consummate🌏 trekker, provided one has the appropriate local outlet adapter packed in the suitcase. Since the 7071 is exclusive to the 🇺🇲 and 🇨🇦 it's furnished with an American outlet. Build Quality & Ergonomics I feel that while earlier Braun series 7s gave a much closer & better shave, they are homely, while the present ones are comely especially the 7071's matte silver-gray, black body accented by a chrome-like ring below the head & cartridge border is pretty for a shaver! The body is plastic on the bottom & middle girdled by a dimpled rubble-like substance also along the middle to the top rear of the shaver to promote grippiness. The power switch in the front controls the status icons. switching it on will light up the battery level travel lock & cleaning reminder. The travel lock is activated/deactivated by pressing the button for 3 seconds. The shaver's rear is completely naked. also the thinner body & low weight contributes to the lack of handling issues concerning the 7071 and its operation. Unlike some critics who may opine about the lack of a button to release the cartridge head before its replacement 18 months later or for routine cleaning/lubricating the button could be the reason on loses either the shaver or the cartridges in my opinion, snapping it on & off is much preferable to the mechanism's malfunctioning to the detriment of the shaver or cartridge. & even if it's shekel saving, it's still markedly better than what I endured replacing the cartridge on the Norelco 5560/81 by disassembling the blue "O" ring & reinstalling each blade piece by piece as if it was an intricate puzzle in reverse which is a pain in the proverbial tuchas. Perhaps I'm not a power user as the critics might be but I had no problems with the agility because I adapted to the shaver. Included accessories with The Braun 7071cc 1. Smart Care Center S-5434, 2. One CCR Cartridge, 3. Charging Cord, 4. Beard Trimmer Attachment, 5. Cleaning Brush, 6. Travel Case, 7. Warranty Card & User "Manual" I concur with the consensus, save the Travel Case, a pretty good deal The travel case was way too small, I could only fit the shaver with the trimming attachment sticking out, an ill fit! & Forget about toting about the charging cord, that got booted from the case! I had to get a bigger case just to carry everything! I'm glad I didn't get the 7089, Even with the bigger case I still would not be able to carry all the hardware. The critic dislikes the operational manual I had no problem comprehending it, unlike the Travel case! Battery Longevity I agree with Braun's assessment about the length of the batteries; Even with the protracted shaving sessions, I get 3 weeks per charge. I also appreciate the charge gauge on this Series 7 shaver, which is better than the dots shown on the lesser shavers & is only surpassed by the digital ones on the Series 9 models. Shaver Performance Because I was trying to move up from a relatively cheap($100) level shaver, I expected a pragmatic compromise between the entry-level cutters & the >$300 state-of-the-art pinnacles which rival straight-edged old school razors I have a satisfying experience I never have any problems with foils getting "quite warm" I did note that it was the lubricant spray that I use instead of the cleaning solution for it as well as no tugging or any other issues. In addition, to lubbing the shaver I also rinse & air dry the shaver as well. The noise level was par for the course. Since I had atrocious luck with sideburn trimmers I only used it once, I had better luck with the sideburns by holding the shaver vertically going up & down the sideburn section. Cleaning & Maintenance Alas, Even though it was the Smart Care Center was the reason why I selected the 7170cc in the end it was one of the weakest links along with the aforementioned travel case. It looks like it was designed by dummkopfs, reminiscent of a 🦒 meaning it's impossible to run in the cubicle of a bathroom here. I would have no problem running it on the dresser top in the bathroom at the old place in addition the solution leaked everywhere & the fumes were a fire risk. This is on top of the omission of the three cleaning modes, the drying fan, meaning there's merely a tri-colored ring that indicates both the level & freshness of the cleaning solution, it glows blue when it's both full & fresh, yellow when the solution gets low or dirty meaning one can only use it a few more times & red when one has to replace the cartridge. Conclusion This is a pretty good shaver for the price as far as getting a decent shave the next step up from the entry-level models. I'm thrilled being over the moon & back again about this Braun 7071cc as such I will do the best I can to keep it in as good shape for as long as possible to the best of my finances & ability!

After using the Braun Series 7 Flex Electric Razor for a while, I have come to appreciate its exceptional attention to detail, from its design to its performance. Firstly, the razor has a robust and solid build designed to withstand everyday use, making it a reliable and long-lasting product. Its ergonomic shape makes it easy to grip and handle, while its flexible head effortlessly adjusts to the contours of my face, ensuring that every hair is reached for a smooth and precise shave. The razor's cutting-edge technology ensures that it smoothly glides over the skin without snagging or pulling hair, thanks to its micro-vibrations that capture even the shortest hairs. This technology also minimizes the risk of irritation and razor burn, leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth. Another feature that stands out is the razor's self-cleaning option, eliminating manual cleaning. The cleaning cartridge automatically lubricates and sanitizes the razor, saving time and ensuring that the razor remains hygienic and efficient. Furthermore, the Braun Series 7 Flex Electric Razor is designed to work equally well in both wet and dry conditions, making it highly versatile. The razor is waterproof, allowing me to conveniently use it in the shower, with shaving cream or gel, without worrying about damaging it. Lastly, the razor is cordless and rechargeable, with a long-lasting battery life that can provide up to 50 minutes of shaving time on a single charge. This makes it convenient for use during travel or on the go without worrying about needing a power outlet. Overall, the Braun Series 7 Flex Electric Razor is a high-quality product with exceptional performance, convenience, and versatility, making it an ideal choice for anyone who desires a smooth and effortless shaving experience.

Well, after months of use the razor is a bit of a disappointment. If you’ve mistakenly let your beard grow over a weekend, out comes the long hair trimmer, and you have to give your whole face a going over with it before using the shaving head. Even then, it’s a sloooow proposition. This shaver really only likes to cut short hair. The snap-on/snap-off long hair trimmer is a literal pain in the neck to have to use. Why Braun couldn’t integrate the long hair trimmer into the main razor chassis, I cannot understand. I’m sure that the constant swapping is going to result in the plastic parts of shaving head or trimmer snapping off. And then what? Finally, I note that the clean and charge stand uses a lot more of the precious Braun essences than previous models have. Doesn’t take too many cleanings before the yellow light comes on, and then only a couple more before the lights go red and it doesn’t clean at all. I’m disappointed. —————End of update. This is a preliminary review of the new Braun Series 7 shaver. It is a complete redesign and rethink of the previous Series 7 shavers. I’ve had this unit for less than 2 weeks, so I can only speak to the performance of the razor and not to its endurance. It may, or may not, last a long time; too early to tell. With that caution, let’s proceed. First, Braun talks about 360 degrees rotation. And shows arrows that indicate that the shaving head rotates. No, it does not; this is misleading. It is, however, doubly hinged so that it can flex forward and back over a large range and left-right over a smaller range. This plus the floating cutter blades should enable you to keep razor in contact with skin and whiskers on even the trickiest parts of the face. I generally have a hard time shaving under my nose, but not with this razor. I like the way the cutter assembly foils flex. I also like the design of the foils. It’s hard to see where it differs from the older models, but my face definitely feels better after a shave with the new unit than the old ones. So far, so good. Some cautions: I found that it really matters to use a drop of Braun shaver oil (or equivalent from other suppliers) to lubricate the cutters! If not night and day, then mid day to twilight, if you will. It also, as with all electric shavers, pays to keep the cutters clean. The cleaning/charging stand does well at this; unfortunately, older stands aren’t compatible with new razors, so you’ll either have to buy it with the stand or do without; no recycling of the stand for your older Series 7. But the cleaning cartridges are the same. It’s also useful to take advantage of the waterproofing and to dampen your face with hot water before shaving. Seems to set things up well, as does a good pre-electric shave lotion. The quality of the new series seems a bit higher than the previous units; that’s a subjective judgment, and there are ways for a manufacturer to build in apparent quality w/o actually improving the product. The ergonomics are much nicer than those of the previous series too. Just maybe Braun may have gotten it right this time. It doesn’t look or feel the way Braun shavers of 30 years ago, designed by the great Dieter Rems, did. But it’s pretty good. I’m glad I spent the money.

So – the Braun Series 7 7071. First, it's recognizable as a Braun – very ergonomic, comfortable shape, rubberized “grippy" back, signature 3 stage head with two outer foils and a flat center cutter in a familiar Braun cassette. Cosmetically very similar, but that said, it's unlike any of the prior Series shavers that Braun has produced. Although touted as the “new" Series 7, it could be more accurately characterized as a “Series 10,” or a Series 8 if another shaver didn’t already occupy that slot (and the Series 8 is really just a modified 9). There is nothing else like it. The elevated 360 degree swiveling head and detachable trimmer are the signature features of this shaver. Skipping to the bottom line if you want to bypass the details, it delivers a great shave, smooth and comfortable, as good as the older Series 7 (which was excellent) or the Series 9 (which some think is better). Whether it is better than either is completely subjective - for me, perhaps slightly – but the cutters and head (that actually provide the shave) are virtually identical to other Braun offerings, which by themselves are outstanding. This "360" design does seem to keep the foils and cutters aligned and in contact with your face better, with less effort. Advantages: it's cheaper than either shaver. From the Series 7, a little. From the Series 9, a lot. It's slightly faster – with the 360 head, fewer passes, easier to maneuver, and it’s lighter by more than 10 percent. Disadvantages: for some, detachable trimmer. And it does require “fiddling" with this attachment if you use a trimmer, rather than just raising or lowering an attached trimmer. No head lock - if you use this feature, it’s missing in this shaver. General specifications: In size, somewhere between the old Series 7 and the Series 9, although closer to the 9. Slimmer than either, it weighs in at a svelte 6.6 oz, with the Series 7 at a hefty 7.8 oz and the Series 9 just behind at 7.7 oz, although you will note that the Series 9 is a considerably larger razor, with the extra weight of the old Series 7 accounted for by thicker plastic, more metal parts and a more robust build than either the 9 or the 7071. The cassette head of the 7071 is actually wider (1") than the older Series 7 head (3/4"), with a wider flat cutter bar. It has a flatter profile as well, and there appear to be no replacements currently available, with replacement costs also unknown. Ergonomically, it feels perfectly balanced, like most of the Brauns. It's substantially plastic, also like all the newer Brauns (and most modern electrics), but the connecting struts for the swivel arrangement appear to be made of metal. There is a charging port in the end for either cord charging or in the provided cleaning station, and a full charge takes about an hour, with a 5 minute charge for one shave. The charge is reportedly good for 50 minutes. Unlike the Series 9 and earlier Brauns, the charging cord is straight rather than coiled, and fairly long. The shaver is submersible and can be used wet or dry, so cannot be used as a corded shaver, in common with the rest of its rechargeable wet/dry relatives. The display is very basic, with a single vertical line indicating charge level - the shorter the line, the lower the charge. No percentages here. This is actually pretty functional, because I find I never pay much attention to my shavers that do display precise percentages – I generally charge them with every use at home, and when traveling as often as I can. The display also includes icons for cleaning required (two droplets), head replacement (a head shaped icon), and a red lock icon and charge cord icon (when the shaver is locked or charging). Like other Brauns, the shaver can be locked by holding down the power button for 3 seconds, and unlocked the same way. An info button below the main power button displays the status of the shaver when pressed. There is no speed adjustment like the older Series 7, being “automatically“ adjusted for beard thickness like the Series 9. Noise is about the same for shaver or cleaning station (although the absence of a fan makes the station completely silent when not cleaning). Accessories: The cleaning station is also a departure from Braun's traditional cleaning stations. This station is actually closer in function and appearance to the Philips Norelco stations, with a vertical arm that locks in and charges the shaver, rather than just dropping the shaver into the station. Unlike the Norelco stations however, or the other Braun cleaning stations, you can't just charge the shaver in the station – when you press the button on the vertical arm (which you must to lock in the shaver) it begins a cleaning (and charging) cycle, and a second press disconnects the shaver from the charger. There are no icons or indicators at all on the cleaning station – just a blue light on the Start button at the top of the arm, which comes on when the shaver is cleaning or charging, and sequentially turns yellow, then red when the solution needs changing. A plus - like all Braun stations from the Series 7 on - it uses the same alcohol-based cleaning cartridges. The cleaning cycle takes about the same amount of time (less than 3 minutes), and unlike in the Series 7 or 9 stations, there is no active drying cycle - induction or fan – just “drip-dry.” Which, considering the cleaning solution is mostly alcohol, actually works pretty well. Also unlike all the other Braun Series shavers, there us no built-in trimmer – the trimmer is an attachment that must be clicked on and off like the Norelco rotaries. A plus and a minus – easy to replace (presumably if made available), but an extra step and bother when shaving. This however follows the “new" Braun design of having multiple attachments for the shaver – face brush and beard trimmer for example – again very similar to Norelco's “system" design. It does seem to work slightly better as a trimmer than either the Braun built-in or detachable Norelco, and can be reversed for trimming beard or moustache. And unique to this Braun, there is no head lock button or mechanism – the head swivels freely (mainly in the back-and-forth dimension of other Brauns, but also laterally and up and down, although more stiffly – hence the “360” designation). And unlike on other Brauns, there is no head release button – the head and other attachments are removed essentially by “yanking" them off and “snapping” them on, which you must do with each shave if you use the trimmer, and it does take a bit of force. Head and attachments appear to be firmly attached, but not what you may be accustomed to if you’re a prior Braun user, and wear on the swivel mechanism is likely a legitimate concern with this design. Time will tell. Overall, a good addition to Braun's Series lineup - not really a replacement for any of them, but an addition to, depending on what you want in a shaver. There are plenty of choices between them, and the "new" Series 7 adds another - and a good one. Highly recommended.

In the short time since ordering it in January 2024, the battery life has now (May 2026) dropped to about 3 shaves before recharging is needed. My old Phillips lasted about a decade; the battery was fine (the power cord degraded), so I expected MUCH better than I got from Braun’s battery. This has put me off trying Braun again.

Great electric razor. My old Series 3 Braun finally started having issues. This Series 7 is really nice and very comfortable. Good quality and gives a great shave. I like the three different speeds and it fits well in my hand.

Faz a barba rente e não agride a pele.

It’s too bad

Me gustó la marca

Not sure why the rate not high, the shaver is great, powerful and fast. Did a great job in a 4 days growth and very gentle on the skin. The head swivel is day and night compared to fixed head shavers. Bad reviews almost got me not to buy it but I am glad I did. This is way better than the top of the line prestige ultra Philips shaver that I had to return.

It has been decades since I purchased/used an electric shaver, it is fantastic BRAUN. You have done a wonderful job on this product. Braun always was the number one producer. I am eighty years old and I plan to use BRAUN for the next twenty years, God willing.
