“Nothing can really beat a blade up against your face, but the Braun does a very good job. I will say that I notice light stubble appearing earlier in the afternoon/evening than I would with a blade, but I am very happy with my electric shaver.”r/shaving
Reddit's r/shaving community is sharply divided on the Braun Series 9 Pro 9477cc, with experiences ranging from grudging satisfaction to outright frustration. One owner acknowledged that “nothing can really beat a blade up against your face, but the Braun does a very good job,” valuing its convenience for travel and on-the-go shaving, while another found it capable of tackling a week's worth of growth, even if “time consuming due to length and direction.” Others were far less forgiving, one user who specifically owned the 9477cc reported being “pretty disappointed,” and a longer-term tester noted they “did manage to get a few excellent shaves out of it but not consistently enough,” ultimately questioning whether Braun's design truly accounts for how facial hair grows. The recurring theme is that the razor rewards patience during an adjustment period but may never fully satisfy users accustomed to blade shaving.
