Every man's style and stubble is different - the Series 5 is as happy tackling light overnight stubble as it is a weekend's worth of heavy growth by getting rid of those frustrating problem hairs that lie flat to skin.
Pressing the shaver harder, repeatedly going over the same area, risking skin irritation is no longer necessary because the sleekly styled Series 5 helps give you a hassle-free, close, and comfortable shave any day of the week.

Customer Reviews
amazing
This shaver is amazing. Well worth the money. I had a norelco triple head shaver for three years and my face never got used to it and I never got a clean shave. I bought the braun 360 complete and was amazed at the great shave from day one. It's the closest thing to a razor and doesn't
tear up your face. I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone.
Good, almost great
Much better than the last electric razor I was using (Remington Titanium MS 5500); closer shave, better trimmer, less razor-burn, better cleaning system. Some areas of my face get an excellent close shave, just like a blade. But, after a few weeks, I am still figuring out how to get a good shave without repeatedly going over some areas without irritation. This razor does so well with some places, I've raised my standards for my whole face.
Overall, I'm happily experimenting with a very good razor & went ahead and bought a years supply of cleaning solution.
Braun 8985 complete 360
I love the feel of this shaver. A lot smoother than my previous 7 series. I have not used the cleaner yet!
