Cheap Mens Electric Razor -
Braun M 90 Mobile Shaver Review

Enter the Braun M 90:

There's not much that comes inside the box with this one.

What you will get is the actual razor itself, 2 double A batteries, and a set of instructions.

Side Bar...

This review is of the M 90, however you might come across the M 60 or M 30 versions.

The difference is that the M 90 has a pop up trimmer, while the other two versions won't. Also, there may be a different color choice when going with the M 60 or M 30.

Also, keep in mind this only retails for $25!

End Side Bar...

For cleaning you can turn it on and rinse the foil under running warm water.

For a thorough clean you can apply some liquid soap and turn it on, then rinse it under water.

When you're done rinsing you can remove the foil and rinse it again separately. When all the cleaning is done let it dry before putting the foil back on.

It also comes with a cleaning brush which is neatly tucked away at the base.

So you can brush away any stubble first before rinsing it, or you can just brush away the stubble without rinsing it. You can brush the blades, but don't brush directly on the foil.

If you clean it everyday with water, or quite a few times a week, you should apply some machine oil to the foil once, or once every two weeks to keep it in good condition.

Design and Specs

There's an obvious reason why this is sometimes referred to as a pocket shaver. Yes, it can basically slip into your back pocket.

I don't know anyone who actually carries these products in their pockets, nevertheless it is extremely portable. As a traveling shaver, it is quite convenient. You can keep it in the car, at the office, or just take it on day trips.

It's powered by 2 double A batteries which many people have stated last quite long. You should be able to get 60 minutes of shaving time out of them.

On the base there is an open and close switch. By twisting the switch on the base you can open the compartment where the batteries fit in. This model does come with 2 batteries included.

Braun does advise that when you're not using it you should remove the batteries. So if you're only shaving once a week, or a few times a month, you should not store it with the batteries inside.

On the front you will notice a twist cap.

This acts as a lock so you can't turn it on by accident, and it also protects the foil. Once you twist it down it clicks into place and you can switch it on.

My Shaving Experience

For the shaving experience I had about two days worth of stubble and unfortunately the process didn't go very well for ME.

Coming into this I wasn't really expecting much because I know I have quite a thick beard.

I tested this model with just one day's worth of stubble and it performed a bit better, but I still had issues with my neck area.

It did perform quite well on my cheek and upper lip, but it had a tough time shaving down my chin and neck area.

Bottom line, if you have thick facial hair like mine you will not enjoy this product.

But... if you have thin or very fine facial hair it should be fine.

As I said on my cheek and upper lip it did quite well. So for anyone with thin facial hair that doesn't grow in very fast or thick, the Braun M 90 should be quite convenient.

Many people who have submitted positive reviews stated that their beards aren't very thick.
